Greater Good Realty

What a pleasant experience were having with David Stone and his team! We will definitely be recommending him to all of our friends and family. David is awesome, he pays special attention to details that can be easily overlooked. David constantly keeps you informed as you progress. Whenever we have a question big or small he explains everything in detail so its easier to understand. David makes you feel like you are the only client on the books. He gives you his undivided attention and when you call him he answers his phone every time. We needed to sell our home within a few days. His price strategy and advertising was right on. We got over thirteen offers in three days. We made an offer on our dream home and was accepted. He handled both ends with precision. The stars had to align just perfectly for all the detail’s to fall in place. He made sure that all the bases were covered and got a homerun.

My wife and I recently completed the purchase of a condo with the help of David Stone and Greater Good Realty and had an excellent experience. David was knowledgable about the local real estate market and more than able to answer our questions as well as provide a bit more information about each property than we would have been able to find during an online search. He was patient and we didn’t feel any pressure to rush into a decision with which we were not comfortable.
Once we found the home that we were interested in, it was a short sale and made doubly complicated by the multiple liens against the property, but David kept us sane throughout the process. He was patient with us as we waited through about six months of negotiation (all on the short sale side of the transaction) and as things came together he did a great job putting all of the final pieces in place to make sure that the closing happened successfully just before the holidays. We can’t recommend David highly enough, he and the Greater Good team really made the process of buying a home manageable and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Thank you!

Both David and Monica are AMAZING. I wanted a fast moving team who could help me find a place quickly and close before 30 days. David recommended a lender to me and the combination of the lender and David/​Monica is exactly what I wanted! David completely worked around my schedule and showed me houses as quickly as I wanted to see them and it seemed like it didn’t even matter the time of day. I found the house I wanted after 2 days of working with David and by day 3 or 4, my offer had been accepted and escrow opened. Monica is so on top of everything and so wonderful to work with! THe process of buying a house can be so stressful on so many people, and this team has worked so hard for me to ensure that I didn’t feel much of that stress (of course, there was a little)! Even my dad commented that this is the smoothest home purchase he has ever seen. All I can say is you won’t be dissatisfied with this team! They are so on top of everything, so responsive and all-​in-​all, a top notch team!

David is an amazing Real Estate agent with years of experience to boot! His way of explaining things and overall professionalism shines through. If your going to be doing any type of Real Estate venture, call David Stone!

We had the best house buying experience with David Stone! He made buying our first home not as scary as we anticipated. He was direct and informative. He treated us with respect and honesty. I’m certain the process would not have gone as smooth with other agents. David made himself totally available to us for questions, showings or information. He still continues to be a helpful resource in understanding our investment. I could not recommend him any higher! Also he donates 10% of his commission to charity. So he must be a nice guy… Thanks David!

David and Alonso did a great job selling a condo for us. They know the buildings downtown, the prices, and values. We had a great experience. Now they are looking for another condo for us downtown with a view. We wouldn’t use anyone else!

I don’t write many reviews, but I had to write a review on David Stone and Greater Good Realty. David is a professional through and through. I’ve dealt with him on the selling and buying side. He’s responsive, caring, diligent, and savvy. He will go out of his way to ensure his client’s get the best. Oh, and like a true professional, he stays in touch with his clients well after the deal closes to make certain they are still satisfied, and to remain friends. For the downtown market and anywhere nearby, I definitely recommend David for any of your Real Estate needs.

The thought of buying our first home was exciting, scary and stressful all at once. Luckily we found David from Greater Good Reality who made the entire process so simple. We received daily emails when new properties became available that met our criteria, making it easy to narrow down properties. Once we found the perfect place, he and his staff made the entire purchase process straightforward and uncomplicated. I highly recommend him and his staff, they were fantastic to work with!

I had the great experience of working with Rima in the purchase of my downtown condo. She even went to great lengths to help me find a new tenant for the rental I vacated. From start to finish my experience with Rima and the entire team at Greater Good was 5-​star. So, if finding the right property quickly, and at the right price is important to you, then give Rima and the Greater Good Realtors a call.

I had a great experience with David. I bought a condo for my aging parents and David’s knowledge of the area, expertise in negotiation, and patience with my parent’s questions really made the purchase an easy, straightforward experience. I’m already looking at additional properties, using David’s expertise. Thanks again for make this an easy process

I’ve worked with David Stone of Greater Good Realty for nearly 2 years now and he is GREAT example of a Real Estate Professional and Adviser. He looks after his clients from listing to close of escrow and well beyond. I look forward to another 2 years with David and his staff.

David has been great to work with. He’s been very responsive and available during our house hunt. And, perhaps more importantly, very knowledgeable, lots of insight, and a savvy negotiator. I also appreciate that our real estate purchase is adding to the «greater good» of the San Diego area. I would recommend David highly to anyone.

Rima is extremely responsive and knowledgeable, and I can say she definitely goes the extra mile for her clients! I am confident that when she advises, she is giving the honest truth and not just trying to make the sale.

David Stone is intelligent, knowledgeable, experienced, an excellent negotiator, a cool-​cat hipster, and a great calmer downer. I would not do a future residential real estate deal without him. I met few members of his team, particurarly Rima Rhodey, and all made a similarly great impression.

Over the past 50 years, I’ve been involved in a number of real estate transactions, as both buyer and seller. I can say, without hesitation, that David and his group of professionals at Greater Good, during my two most recent transactions, provided the best representation I have ever experienced.
Their advice on pricing and negotiation was right on target. My downtown condominium sold in one day, at full price. And their attention to detail, both before and after (!) the close, was phenomenal.
If I could give them six stars, I would. I am completely satisfied.

David Stone and Greater Good Realty take boutique Real Estate representation to the next level. Their professional follow up, response and contract negotiation skills help get their clients in fast and ensure smooth closing. I have had the pleasure of working with mutual clients of David’s in the past and am always happy to work with their group.
As far as location, office and lifestyle — what could be better? The Greater Good Realty office is in the heart of the Downtown Marina District and steps from Seaport Village, the new Headquarters and all that downtown has to offer. I recommend anyone passing though downtown walk by their office and peek at the listing and information posted in their windows. Better yet, open the door and engage David and his staff — you won’t be disappointed.

We worked with Randy Swisher and he was fantastic! Our search was more complicated than most as we were looking from outside of California and my wife and I are very picky! Randy was always patient and accommodating, volunteering to help in any way he could and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. He is a real professional – both knowledgeable and caring.

This is what I found to be valuable after working with David for a while. He is available all the time. We looked at places evenings, weekends, whenever. He is knowledgeable, but knows that the key is that you understand what to look for, what to think about, what to consider. He’s not just going to say let me handle this, or yeah I’m going to find you the place of your dreams, that part is up to you, and the decision is up to you. You are buying the place, he just happens to have a lot of experience and can help you become aware of the things that might be important to you, and the things to pay attention to. He’s not a car salesman and is not going to BS you. He is the right kind of guy to have there to confide in when you want to decide how much to offer or how much a place is worth, but a lot of that is purely dependent on you. There is a reasonable range at which places will be priced, but beyond that it is totally subjective. Good luck !

Dave & Monica are not only a pleasure to work with but are very resourceful and informative of the downtown San Diego market. Keep up the good work Greater Good!
