Advantage Homes

On 9÷20÷15 I had an accepted offer on a mobile home which Cathy Bucalo represented. On 9÷21÷15 my wife and I met at her office to sign a purchase agreement and to write out a $ 500 check to open escrow. In our meeting, she stated that another person was coming to town to see the Mobile Home we were purchasing the next day.
Since our offer had been accepted she had a legal duty to get our offer signed by the seller. Instead, because of her obvious greed and unethical business practices, she chose to not only open escrow but at the same time hold back our purchase agreement to be signed. The other person did come into town the next day and offered $ 12,000 more than our offer. Of course we very upset and all Cathy said was «Please know this was nothing personal».
What does that mean? That I shouldn’t take the fact she was deceitful and unethical and that screwing me out of my accepted offer was not a personal thing? This is clearly a person who will NEVER have your best interests in mind. It is however, very clear that her greed rules over everything else. Her taking responsibility for her actions would mean that she would have to agree that she is deceitful and unethical as a business person. Obviously that will never happen.
To conclude, if you want to do business with a deceitful and unethical agent then Cathy Bucalo is a perfect match for you. She’ll make sure her interests come first before her client’s interests. Since she simply is incapable of seeing a clean deal go through if she can get more money in her pocket, she is definitely the person you want as your agent if you enjoy being deceived.
Good Luck!!!

Cathy was a big help to me a couple of years ago when I seriously looked into the feasibility of placing a manuf home in my back yard. She cheerfully answered a million questions and even brought a contractor to my property to give me an estimate. Cathy is a personable and consummate professional who goes above and beyond for her clients and I recommend her without question.

Our agent, Cathy Bucalo, helped us to buy and install a manufactured home on a private lot in Fallbrook.
Our custom-​designed manufactured home had a lot of extra customization, extra engineering, plenty of cost-​cutting, and a crazy location for delivery.
But, Cathy was able to remove all the hurdles and make sure the job got done.
She was always positive and did her best to resolve conflicts and build us a great home!

Cathy Bucalo, my agent with Advantage Homes was awesome. Cathy made the escrow process smooth and easy. Any minor bumps along the way she dealt with without bothering me with the details. She kept me posted with the progress of the escrow on a regular basis, which I appreciated greatly.
I would highly recommend Cathy to any of my friends or family members in the future.
Thank you Cathy for a job well done!

I was looking for the right person to represent the sale of our manufactured home in Oceanside. I interviewed 2 other agents before I called Cathy Bucalo. I picked up one of her flyers from a house she just sold in the same park we were in. As soon as we spoke on the phone, I immediately liked her. She was a no nonsense, get to the point person, plus I could tell she was also fun to be around with. I was right. I decided to have Cathy help us sell our house.
The process was smooth and easy. I did not have to sign a listing agreement, fortunately the house sold within just weeks after Cathy put up the For Sale sign outside. Cathy is a joy to work with, she was always available when I had any questions… via email, text or phone. She was a great negotiator with all aspects of the sale. I highly recommend working with Cathy whether you are selling or buying a manufactured home. She truly is a specialist in this field and you will gain a friend as a bonus.

I just closed escrow on my house and can say that I had a great experience. Cathy Bucalo was my agent and I would highly recommend her.
It’s not just that she is nice, and fun to work with, and returns calls immediately. She is an excellent negotiator and can work out problems that come up. This is the third home we’ve tried to buy, the others fell through for one reason or another. But this one was really our dream home. When problems came up on the building and termite inspection, Cathy stepped in. She knows and works with lots of contractors, and was able to get the work all done at a very discounted rate. In fact, her contractor was so good, I hired him to do repairs on our other home.
From looking at the home for the first time, to moving in, took only 9 days. The seller was very satisfied, and we were thrilled.

Cathy is an amazing woman full of energy. She will go out of her way to get you the best deal in Town. Cathy also always responds back promptly to any questions or inquires one might have. You will not be disappointed with her. Thanks Advantage Homes!
