Kerry Garnett – Blend Real Estate

Kerry was extremely patient, quick to respond to all of our inquiries, and overall very helpful through the entire process. He went above and beyond to meet people at the house for various inspections when we couldn’t make it which was amazing! Kerry is very knowledgeable and put us in touch with a great inspector, mortgage company, etc. We would certainly use Kerry again when selling or buying another home.

I can’t recommend Kerry enough as a realtor! As a newbie home buyer, Kerry was incredible to us– he was patient, very responsive, highly intelligent, and trustworthy. We felt safe giving him our absolute trust, knowing that he had our back and best interests in mind representing us. He gave us the perfect advice on the right number when we were one of three offers for our home, and was attentive and knew just what to do with any issues that cropped up along the way. If you want a trustworthy, smart, and kind gentleman to work with, I recommend Kerry!

I have worked with a lot of agents over the years, and Kerry is one of the best. My recent transaction involved a 1031 exchange, and he was invaluable in helping coordinate all the details. A 1031 involves selling an investment property and buying another all in the same escrow, or using an «accommodator» if a new property can’t be found in the timeline allowed by the IRS. This takes a lot of coordination as you can imagine.
Kerry is especially helpful in working with the other agents or lenders, pushing things along so that it all falls into place as needed. Because I was working, he met with workers or vendors to get quotes for repairs, etc. when I couldn’t. I took his advice, even when I didn’t want to, and I’m glad I did, because he was right. (Example: giving buyer credit off sale price for problems found in buyer’s inspection).
So, aside from being smart, he is a genuinely nice guy. You’ll like him, and will be glad you chose him to help you with your real estate.

Kerry is such a hard worker, very knowledgeable, patient and ethical.
We did not have an easy real estate transaction, but Kerry stuck with us, giving us regular updates, seeking out answers to all our questions and had solid advice. He was very patient and always so professional and nice. Highly recommended!

Kerry worked with us to find a home as we moved from out of state. Because we weren’t local, we dealt with him primarily over the phone and by e-​mail. Despite the distance, he impressed us with his unyielding attention to finding us the perfect home and his patience with us as we navigated the San Diego real estate market. He provided great advice based on his expertise and stringently protected our interests during the buying process. Highly recommend!

Kerry was a tireless worker when it came to helping us find our house. Although we knew he was working with many other clients at the time, we always felt like we were his lone focus.

My husband and I decided to hire Kerry when buying our first place in 2011. Kerry showed such dedication to finding us the right place. After making an offer, Kerry went out of his way to make the process as easy as possible for us. My husband and I were planning to make several improvements before moving in, and Kerry met with every single person who came to give us quotes or make improvements so my husband and I wouldn’t have to take time off work.
Kerry’s work didn’t end with our close either. He regularly sends us updates on our property’s value (happy to say it’s increased) and reminders to pay property taxes.
Kerry’s biggest gift (besides the very thoughtful housewarming gift he gave us) was his donation to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.

Kerry was among the Realtors that I interviewed when deciding to go from renter to home owner. He made the process as seamless as possible with his knowledge as well as great team for ensuring that all bases were covered.
His work ethic, attention to detail and focus on making the process fun and painless is truly a sign of his dedication to ensuring that I would enjoy my life in my new home.

My husband and I had an EXCELLENT homebuying experience with Kerry as our realtor. Even though we are both working professionals, this was our first time buying and we were both pretty nervous, but the friend that recommended Kerry to us assured us that he is extremely «attentive» and that he would take good care of us. — this proved to be true throughout the entire process! We received daily updates about new postings that fit our criteria, and Kerry would always be sure to point out those listings that seemed especially suited to our preferences/​tastes. When we went to go look at houses, Kerry was always on time and helped us see the little nuances to each prospective home that we may have overlooked. I especially liked knowing that he represented us well with each and every listing agent of the all the homes we visited with the professionalism and courteousness that we came to see he brings to every detail. Another big bonus — Kerry was willing to work with our busy work and training (we both were doing endurance training with Team In Training… more on that later) schedules, even when a «hot» listing showed up and we knew we had to go see the house/​potentially put an offer in ASAP, always going the extra step for us after traditional working hours. Once we actually found the right home for us, Kerry continually kept us informed. The escrow process was not easy, but we felt assured knowing that he acted as a strong advocate for us. You really can’t find a more hardworking, professional real estate agent in San Diego who will give you his all to get you in to your dream home!
**Side note, Kerry donates 15% of his commission to Team In Training /​the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. How cool is that?
