"Emily is amazing! We had a strict timeline. Emily was able to list, show, and do everything in between professionally and adhere to the wild Covid regulations! Everything went amazingly, so happy someone pointed us in her direction. Super friendly and understood our needs while handling everything. Thank you, Emily!"

"Emily was awesome. Our home sold in 12 hours for more than asking. She is like a friend to us now. Highly recommend. She helped us stage the house. Got the photos done in two days. Up online for two days."

"Emily was everything that my partner and I were looking for in a realtor to help us purchase our first home! She knew all about the important laws and details of real estate. She was (and still is, even now that we bought the house!) super responsive and prompt. She was sensitive to each of our wants and needs regarding a potential property, which we found particularly helpful considering our situation of looking to buy together as a couple. And she concisely explained every step of the process, which kept us in control and feeling at ease throughout! The result of all of this was that we found a home that we both really love and are happily living in now! We would absolutely recommend Emily's services to anyone!"

"I loved working with Emily. She was recommended to me by my good friend. She was very patient with me as this was my first time buying a house. I felt comfortable asking her any and all questions that I had. I found my home on Craigslist as For Sale By Owner, and she helped navigate the special situation. We decided to put in an offer on Easter. There was no problem meeting her at her office on a holiday to go over the offer paperwork. I am so grateful to Emily for helping me with this process. I couldn’t do it without her. Literally!"

"Emily was recommended to us because of her experience with first-time homebuyers, and it was such a privilege working with her! She guided us through the entire process from start to finish. She knew when to be hands-on and when to let us explore on our own, and never made us feel at all rushed or pressured. Emily is incredibly professional and knowledgeable, but also friendly and personable. She came to feel more like a friend helping us as a huge favor, which took a lot of stress out of the experience. We ended up finding our dream home much sooner than expected, and Emily went above and beyond, even working with us while she was on vacation! She answered all of our (many) questions thoroughly and has even continued to be a great resource after our deal closed. We feel so lucky to have found her, and would highly recommend her services to anyone."

"As first-time home buyers, my fiancé and I were so grateful to have worked with Emily. We were specific and somewhat limited in our search, but with Emily's guidance, we were very quickly able to find our dream condo. There were competing offers on the property, but she gave us excellent advice and managed the negotiation process like a true expert. We would recommend Emily to anyone!"

"Emily is extremely knowledgeable about the multitude of sub-markets within San Diego. She was very valuable in showing us properties and lots. Emily was great at keeping us informed throughout the process. Her pleasing personality and responsiveness were a pleasant surprise considering some of our previous experiences with other Realtors. Thank you, Emily, for all you did for us! We'll definitely use you on our next home and investment!"

"I am writing in regard to Emily Schaefer, a wonderful agent with Sotheby's International Realty. Being an agent with Sotheby's myself, in the Los Angeles area, I was looking for a great agent in San Diego who would assist my daughter and son-in-law in finding their dream home. Emily stayed in touch periodically to check in and see when they were ready to start the search. When they were ready, she was completely on board with sending listings and diligently showing them any home that might appeal to them, until they found their dream home! My daughter and her husband were very happy with Emily, and felt that she really listened to their needs, plus consider her a friend now. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone who is looking in the San Diego area for a new home."

"Emily is by far the most responsive realtor I have had the pleasure of doing business with. She worked diligently to find us our ideal home in our ideal neighborhood, gave us great negotiation advice, gave us a play-by-play of what to expect during escrow, and promptly informed us of any and all milestones. I really felt well taken care of and know she went a step further to ensure our satisfaction. I enjoyed working with her so much that I rehired her to sell my condo!"

"Emily was an unexpected asset to our transaction. We were initially selling our property FSBO — For Sale By Owner — and our first quality prospective buyer came with a Realtor, Emily. Emily brought value, ease, and bright spiritedness to the table, guiding all of us through the sale and purchase and keeping it on track for a seamless close. We’d use her again in a heartbeat."

"As first-time home buyers, my husband and I had numerous questions that Emily promptly provided answers to. Her assistance, patience, and expertise made the whole buying process easy for us. When we found our dream home, she used her experience to guide us in making an offer the sellers could not refuse. She went the extra mile helping us through the 30-day escrow, making sure all appointments, inspections, and appraisals were performed at the highest level. Her knowledge and calm demeanor set our minds at ease, making this stressful process for some, simple for us. If you want a professional, personal, and fantastic realtor, I highly recommend Emily Schaefer."

"Emily was simply fantastic, providing all the required services to advertise, negotiate on my behalf, and close the sale of a Condo in San Diego in a rapid time. More than that, Emily was invested in me. I live in the Northeast while having to sell a property 3000 miles away. Emily took a great deal of her own time to box up personal items for me, clean the property, hire and oversee appropriate (inexpensive) contractors for me, line up services to remove furniture and remaining items, and essentially acted as family towards me. I could not have been any more fortunate to find Emily as my agent."

"Worked with Emily to sell my house. Emily was very professional and on top of everything. I never had to wonder about the next steps or if I had forgotten to do something. Selling a house can be stressful, but Emily helped take the stress out of the house. Communication skills were top-notch. Next time I sell and buy a house, I will be using Emily. If you are looking for a Realtor, then your search is over."

"Emily sold our home in one weekend with an open house for well over asking and negotiated rent back so we could have time to find our new home. She gave us sound advice on what improvements were worth spending our money on and what were not. Emily is personable, kind, responsive, and just a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her!"

"Emily was a pleasure to work with in the simultaneous selling of our Little Italy condo and buying of our South Park home.

We would gladly recommend Emily to anyone buying or selling their home!"
