I had a wonderful experience using Alan Shafran to represent the sale of my home and real estate in Carlsbad, San Diego. I have owned several homes in my life and come from a high-level career in the tech world where intellect, professionalism, and integrity are crucial. Alan personally came to my home and was spot on with his evaluation and marketing process. We discussed the plethora of different pricing approaches and not only was he versed in all methodologies but advised as to the pluses and minuses of the different approaches. The preparation, marketing, hand holding was fantastic and effective. I sold my home in a few days at almost full price and amongst the highest price per square foot in the area. Follow up and follow thru were also outstanding and Alan personally checked on me after I moved out of state to see how things were working out. If you are looking to sell or buy real estate... don't hesitate in reaching out to Shafran Realty!

Work with the Shafran team. They are consummate professionals, well organized, highly responsive, and have a fully staffed back office of terrific pros who support every aspect of the transaction. We worked with Alan directly in some cases, but most of the time we were in the hands of Matt Sorensen, and he did a phenomenal job. You can count on your Shafran agent to go above and beyond expectations in negotiating for you during a purchase or sale, and they make it their personal mission to provide guidance throughout the transaction and to collaborate across their team to bring combined years of experience into all their recommendations. They don't disappear after the deal is done, either. They follow through to make sure things continue to go smoothly even after the keys change hands. You won't be sorry if you choose the Shafran team!

My wife and I have worked with Brent Hansen multiple times - buying our first home, selling our first home, and buying our second home. Brent is a very thoughtful and knowledgeable realtor who set the right expectations and kept us calm and organized throughout the whole process. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat to any friend considering buying/selling a home in north county San Diego!

We had the great pleasure of working with Brent Hansen who was our wonderful agent. He was AMAZING! I would absolutely recommend the Alan Shafran team if you are in the buying/selling market. Brent was professional, supportive, attentive and he became our biggest advocate when dealing with the most ridiculous sellers of our now new home. He really worked his tail off for us and we appreciate him so much for that. I've heard horror stories about agents taking advantage of first time buyers. Brent, along with the entire staff of the Alan Shafran group, was great to work with. Thank you for finding our diamond in the rough.

We are a top performing real estate group in the South Bay market of Los Angeles and were in need of an agent to refer our clients to as they were relocating out of our area. After interviewing a handful of agents in the area, we narrowed the referral down to Matt Sorensen of the Shafran Group, mainly because it seemed as though he and his group closely reflected the principals by which our own team operates, and we wanted our clients to have a compatible experience when searching for an up-leg home in their new area.According to our clients, Matt was attentive, responsive and driven to find them a great replacement property at a value. He kept in close contact with our office along the way, which was very helpful for us as we tracked the move of our clients from Redondo Beach to the Carlsbad area. He negotiated a great purchase price and transaction for our clients and closed them right on time.If you are an agent looking for a great referral team in the North San Diego market, I think you will be as pleased as we were with the service and attention afforded our clients who moved out of our area.

I hired Alan Shafran and Shafran Realty Group to sell my home. Alan came out and took his time to help me strategize. The team was amazing through the process. Alan and the team handheld me through the process and the preparation I did launch to a very successful sale. The pictures, marketing, negotiation, and experience was top notch. In fact, after I verbally accepted one price, he came back and got me an even higher price. Integrity was incredible. Call one realtor and one company only in San Diego and that's Alan & Shafran Realty Group.

We purchased our home several years ago and were concerned about the condition and location and timing is it related to selling our home. This was a seven figure home and we had many unanswered questions. We called Alan and he personally came out. We had a wonderful discussion, created a plan of action, and it was then executed flawlessly. Alan did an amazing job marketing and negotiating for top dollar. Not only did we sell our home in under two weeks but he was there every step of the way, including the most important part, which was the buyers inspections. There were several hurdles that were thrown at us, different appraisal requests as the buyer was changing lenders on us, etc... Alan was there every step and we had a smooth closing." We would recommend Alan to anyone!

My wife and I have used Brent Hansen at the Shafran Realty group for the purchase and sale of our home. He and the entire team are professional and super responsive to all messages. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a recommendation.

We had two amazing experiences working with Alan Sharan and his team. The first time was to sell our home. We interviewed several realtors and knew we needed someone that really knew our market and with a lot of experience. Alan and agent Timothy Feuling worked together, and after a lot of hard work sold our home and broke a sales record for our neighborhood!We knew we needed the best agent in town to get the price we wanted!We were so impressed with the team we used them again to buy our new house. Timothy worked closely with us and showed us many houses and worked hard for many months as we searched for the perfect house. We found our dream home, and are so excited to move in. I would highly recommend Alan Shafran Realty and his team for any real estate needs, they are very professional and extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market!

Brent Hansen was excellent to work with. From the get-go, he was honest, upfront, and available. He walked me through the whole purchasing process from showing me the property to coming up with a reasonable offer, to even post-purchase assistance. When I go to purchase another property, Brent will be my first call. He's low-key, but tenacious, and works very hard for you. I could tell that I had an advocate in Brent, and I am now in the house of my dreams--seriously.

This is as good as it gets.  The Shafran Group was the most amazing group of people to work with.  I personally worked with David Diboll who found me the perfect home.  He was diligent, professional, supportive, honest and completely enjoyable to work with.  I would highly recommend him and the agency to anyone I know.

Matt Sorensen, of The Shafran [Realty] Group, is an exciting, fun and determined agent. He always put our needs first. We didn't expect to find our dream home so quickly, but we did. He helped make the transition seamless. During the stressful times, he usually inserted a bit of humor. He is honest, ethical and professional. If you are looking for an agent in North County, look no further. Matt knows the market and is ready to make your dreams come true.

It was really good luck hiring Shafran group, especially it's member Brent Hansen as our agent for selling our property in Oceanside recently. Brent's frankness, honesty, experience and high responsibility could be sensed from the beginning of the discussion on how to sell the property to the end of closing the escrow. He was always very patient when explaining to us as his clients on each step of the process and each detail of the documents. He was alway prompt in response to our request. Because of his and the term's strategic and highly efficient work, the entire sell process was very quick and smooth. We really appreciated Brent and the team for the great help.

These north county real estate experts make the home buying process fun and easy.  We worked closely with Brent at Shafran Realty Group.  He is a no-nonsense smart realtor.  He listens first then provides solid advice and guidance that is reassuring.  His top goal is to get you into the house you love.  That's exactly what he did for us.  Thank you Brent and the entire  Shafran Realty Group.

Thanks to Matt Sorenson and the team at Alan Shafran's realty, I just experienced one of the smoothest and most lucrative real estate transactions ever! When choosing a realtor to help me sell my $1.2M home in an uncertain market, the Shafran group stood out for their comprehensive marketing strategy and clear and realistic assessment of market conditions. Alan and Matt gave really objective and straightforward advice while listening to and accomodating my requirements. They are both very genuine, professional people and are easy to work with. Alan's team consists of experts in each area of home sales. With their help staging, preparing the listing, handling communications, showing my home in its best light, negotiating with buyers and dealing with escrow, I felt I was in the best hands. I spent only 2 weeks on the market before fielding an offer for full price. The price I got was one of the highest price per square foot in my area and the second time Shafran's team accomplished that success on my street this year. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in North County.

I just wanted to say how great this group was to work with and especially our agent Mathew Sorensen. He got us the highest price in our development and more than our asking price! The house sold after the first weekend he launched his campaign. Very grateful and thankful to Mathew and his team for making what normally is a stressful process into a breeze!

We listed our home with Alan Shafran when we made the decision to move out of state. Not only did Alan quickly sell our Carlsbad home but even helped us get connected with a great agent in the area we were moving to. There was a lot of trips made back and forth to get things ready for the big move but Alan and his staff made everything so easy. Samantha was a life saver, always on top of things and reassuring me when I needed it. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

Alan Shafran and his team are the best in Southern California!  I've known Alan and Brent Hansen, Sr. Partner, for over 15 years and have personally had them represent me on three separate transactions, twice as a seller and once as a buyer.  Alan and Brent are simply the best in the business. They bring true professionalism and market knowledge to the transactions and always with maximum results.  My last transaction was conducted completely remotely from over 2000 miles away and Brent handled all the on-site property details for me - better than I could have done myself if I was there in person.  He went above-and-beyond coordinating repairs, upgrades, and showings to maximize property exposure and yielding timely results.  His advice and knowledge are second to none. I am so pleased to know these gentlemen personally and happy they were there to help me with my last transaction.

This group is by far the best real estate firm I have ever worked with and keep in mind, I was a real estate agent myself for 5 years. Try to save a percent or two and you will definitely suffer from an experience that pales in comparison. I worked directly with Matt Sorenson for a new home purchase as well as a listing. Matt is a true professional and extremely responsive. Matt has a tremendous amount of patience and a great way of communication and "framing" the situation as it unfolds. The entire team is a seamless, well oiled machine. The have an innovative process that is efficient and painless. Although Matt and The Shafran Group are known for representing the highest number of sales in their market, I truly found myself asking Matt if I was his only client. That is how they will make you feel.

Tim Feuling helped me in the search and acquisition of a lot in Encinitas and was very professional and helpful throughout the process. He is available 24/7 and not only responds immediately to any request, but also acts pro-actively to provide impeccable service to his clients. He is very persistent and stays on top of things at all stages of the search and acquisition processes.  I strongly recommend Tim if you need a real estate agent in North County.

Working with Tim Feuling with Shafran Reality Group exceeded any of my expectations. As a first time home seller, I was not familiar with the terminology or the best process people to involve. Right away was incredibly helpful and took time to sit down with my wife and I to determine what would be the best selling course for us.Tim was willing to meet us late in the evening to view our condo and put together a selling strategy within a couple days of our first meeting. He was very helpful in explaining the entire process and really relieved my stress level even though we were on a very tight time-frame with buying a new home in another state and starting a new job. I truly believe his expertise helped tremendously selling our home to the right buyer in a difficult compressed time frame accepted. I highly recommend Tim Feuling he is am amazing realtor and will make you feel like you are his only client!

It's been a long journey for us to find a home we loved. Brent Hansen from The Shafran Realty Group worked patiently with us for years, never pushing us and truly understanding what we were looking for. He is kind and also practical, he doesn't sugar coat and only says what he knows is true. For instance: at one point we looked at a home that needed heavy remodeling and when we wondered about what work, he told us the truth on what would not be possible and a waste of resources or time vs. what would be worth it and what he wouldn't do as a homeowner if it was his home. He also knows North County extremely well, which made is easier when looking into schools for us. It always seemed like he was able to get us into seeing homes right away, which helped tremendously with our recent purchase as it was a much desired home by many and our offer was accepted. The house hunting process isn't easy. When we had changes to criteria we looked for, when we encountered hiccups during the closing process, anything at all, Brent was calm and collected, and it allowed us to trust him and navigate through the process. We are so glad we spoke to Alan Shafran initially when we decided to search for a home and of course feel grateful we had Brent as an agent this whole time. They genuinely care about making sure you are happy in a home you love. If you are thinking about working with them, don't hesitate! We love our new home and loved working with Brent and Alan!

We were associated with Shafran Realty and David Diboll for purchase of our house in Carlsbad, CA. David's expertise and knowledge in business, and about properties in the area, helped us find our dream home. His accurate understanding of our needs, prompt responses, prefect communication between concerned parties calmed our nerves and made the entire process very smooth and pleasant. He was always there to answer our questions and was persistent in getting responses from sellers too, regarding our concerns. He was very transparent and gave us honest opinions on house related matters. We would highly recommend working with David Diboll and Shafran Realty Group for property related dealings.

My wife and I don't write a lot of reviews, but our family had such a good experience using Alan Shafran to represent the sale of our home in La Costa/Carlsbad, CA that we thought we should share. We are in the process of building a new home in Leucadia, CA and needed an agent that would help us find the right buyer while capitalizing on our investment. The home we sold was a larger home/lot with a custom tropical backyard/pool. The sales strategy was difficult due to most of the homes having smaller lots and some had a view with none selling even close to our asking price. Our biggest concern was pricing the home too far below market value. Having interviewed other agents as well, Alan had a solid understanding of the Carlsbad market and used his experience to provide an evaluation of the property that we were comfortable with moving forward. Alan came to our home and explained the preparation, marketing, and support team who were all fantastic. We sold our home in just a few days above asking price and among the highest price per square foot in the area. Follow up and follow thru were also outstanding and Alan personally checked on us after we moved to see how things are working out. Alan is a professional and we recommend him to anyone looking for an agent with experience and expertise. He is definitely one of the best in the business!

Alan of the Alan Shafran Group not only knows the market, he goes above and beyond to help his clients with a smooth transaction and has their best interests in mind. Samantha is also fantastic! Great group to work with. Wish they had a group in LA.

This group is by far the best. So professional and service is unbeatable. They really care about clients and always get back to you. Sara Martucci was so knowledgable in helping me negotiate and make sure my best interest was covered. What more could you ask for.

I would highly recommend Shafran for your realty needs. Matt Sorensen and the entire team made selling my house as effortless as possible. I am grateful to them for their patience with me and understanding each step of the way.

I wish I would have chosen to work with Alan the FIRST time! Alan sold my house in such a short time and I was extremely impressed. I had other agents list my home before him and for over 6 months they were never able to sell my house. When I switched to Alan he immediately sold my home, was knowledgable, and gave me really great advice. I cant even explain how much I appreciated the time and attention that he gave to me. He made me feel so important and gave me peace of mind which is all I wanted. It was an absolutely wonderful experience for me. I even referred one of my new neighbors to Alan and he sold that house immediately as well. If I ever buy a or sell a home in the future Alan will be the first person I call.

My wife and I met Natasha Brkovic from Shafran Realty Group at an open house she was hosting in Carlsbad. We were planning to buy our first home and were getting to know the Carlsbad area and which neighborhood would be the best fit. At the time we were saving for a down payment and had no intention on buying for at least 3-4 months. But every weekend we attended open houses and met a lot of realtors in the process. Natasha simply engaged us in conversation to find out what we were looking for. We walked away with her business card and a great first impression from her professionalism and knowledge of the market. It wasn't until several weeks later that we circled back and reconnected by phone even though we still didn't have any intentions on buying at the time while we were saving money. Our phone conversations with Natasha went on for months before we were ready to buy. She suggested neighborhoods that fit what we were looking for. We received emails on new listings in our target areas and Natasha always offered to show us those homes before the open house. There was never any pressure to buy before we were ready and we knew everything about the Carlsbad market by the time we had enough money to make an offer. Once we entered negotiations competing with multiple offers on a house it was apparent that we had the best representation. We learned a lot in a short amount of time about the bidding process and how to make an offer more attractive beyond the purchase price. Again, we never felt pressured to go above our budget and felt confident in all the advice we were given while dealing with the sellers. In the end, after 7+ months of actively looking in Carlsbad we found a great house in the Kensington neighborhood of San Diego. Even though Natasha works in North County and focuses on that market, she was able to adapt quickly and got our offer accepted within a week, below the sellers asking price.I will always refer people to work with Natasha. When the day comes that my wife and I decide to move back to North County we will work with Natasha again. If you read this review the whole way through, please contact Natasha Brkovic for your real estate needs. She's by far the best realtor we met during our entire home buying process. Thank you for getting us into our first home, Natasha!

I had the pleasure of working with Timothy Feuling. After my first meeting with Tim, I knew this was the agent I needed to sell my home quickly. Tim displayed tremendous skills in marketing my property. His strengths are his ability to focus, communicate, negotiate to name just a few. What really stands out, is Tim's professional demeanor and self confidence, which put me at ease, and made the entire process a positiveexperience.

We moved from NY/NJ area and had no connections to any realtors in the area, and for some odd reason we thought the bigger the realtor company is, the less time they will spend with us. Completely wrong and thanks to our lender she put us in contact with the Shafran group! Brent was born and raised in the area, with years of experience and "connection" and since we were not from the area this was crucial!We met Brent at his office end of May, he explained how they work and we gave him our parameters for our dream house and indicated the non-negotiables. We were in a time crunch as our son was starting kindergarten, so we plugged away seeing over 40 houses with him. By July we closed on our home, there is no way we could have done that with out him! No house is 100% perfect, but this house was perfect for us, we have been living in it for almost one month now and we fall in love with it more and more every day. San Elijio was a perfect choice for our family. Our son had an amazing first week of kindergarten, that ended with a community party (hosted by the HOA) at the park. Our neighbors are amazing, our sons has so many neighborhood friends to play with. I can walk around town and trails, this something that was very important for me as my last 25 years in NYC were carless. Lastly, my husbands health (back) has benefited greatly, as he no longer has the 2 hours + commute..... We are truly "Blessed", THANK YOU BRENT!

It was a real pleasure working with David Diboll. We were struggling to find a house for the past year in the desired area in Carlsbad. We were actively placing offers and had lost a couple on smaller margins. After contacting David, we were able to close on a house of our dream. David was on top of things and helped us successfully navigate the escrow process. We were able to close in 3 weeks. He has stayed in close contact even after escrow closure to make sure we were settled in. Highly recommend working with David and would love to work with him again.

I hired Alan Shafran and Shafran Realty Group to sell my home. Alan came out and took his time to help me strategize. The team was amazing through the process. Alan and the team handheld me through the process and the preparation I did launch to a very successful sale. The pictures, marketing, negotiation, and experience was top notch. In fact, after I verbally accepted one price, he came back and got me an even higher price. Integrity was incredible. Call one realtor and one company only in San Diego and that's Alan & Shafran Realty Group.

My wife and I used Brent Hansen, an agent with Shafran Realty Group, to buy our first home in Carlsbad.  We both found Brent to be polite, professional, knowledgeable and responsive.  Brent is NOT a high pressure agent trying to get you to buy the first thing you walk into. Brent has a low key personality that he brings to his professional life.  He will give you his honest opinion of the property, the price, the neighborhood but lets you decide, absolutely no pressure.  We found him to be responsive and positive with us even when we would tell him we decided not to bid on a property.  When presenting the offer on our current house, Brent was aggressive in getting our offer personal attention from the seller and their agent. After the acceptance of the offer for our current house, Brent worked diligently to ensure all steps to close escrow were taken care of while we were out of the country.  We unequivocally recommend Brent to all our family and friends and will use him for all our future real estate needs.

We worked with Alan to sell our house in the La Costa area of Carlsbad. The market had taken a bit of a downturn over the summer, so it required quite a bit of extra effort from the Shafran team, but they remained diligent and helped us get our house sold.We wanted to close a week earlier than originally proposed by the buyers. This was especially difficult due to the number of holidays while we were in escrow (both Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving). We also had quite a few unexpected issues arise during the closing process. Despite all these setbacks, Alan and his team were able to keep us on track throughout and we were able to hit our aggressive close date.

We worked with Matt at Shafran Realty group and we could not have asked for a better person to work with. From the very beginning, they were courteous, professional, and so knowledgeable about the market. Matt was amazing, took us to many house tours and was patient with us as first time home buyers. Lindsay also was very friendly and helpful and took us on some house tours. The staff as a whole would all reach out every step of the way to make sure we were comfortable with the process as first time home buyers, and we never felt taken advantage of. Matt responded to ALL of my questions so quickly. He was so great. I cannot say enough about how much they all helped. If you want an extremely professional, responsive, and personable group help you find your new home, look no further than the Alan Shafran group.

Alan and his team run as a very well-oiled machine!  At first I was a little concerned that Alan would not be the point person for all items, but I quickly learned that each member of the team has their own responsibility and are AMAZING at their job.  They didn't skip a beat.  They also kept each other informed with any action items, so they were always on the same page!  I would gladly recommend Alan to any friends, family or co-workers!  Lisa & David

Alan and his team took over our listing when our Carlsbad home was slow to sell with another group, and they did a great job of selling it for us. Our buyers wanted a thirty-day escrow, which felt pretty fast, but Danielle, the escrow transaction manager from the Shafran Group, made sure that all the details were taken care of and that we were constantly updated on everything taking place. The Shafran Group also uses technology to aid with communication. During the showing process, for instance, they use an app called Showing Time where you can approve showings and/or change the times. The team also uses the group messaging system Slack for instantaneous communication. The escrow process was seamless, and made as stress-free as possible. Thanks, Alan!

Matt Sorensen of SRG is a superstar and you'd do well to consider him most seriously if you are doing a transaction in San Diego.Moving to San Diego area from clear across the country, so we needed absolutely reliable boots on the ground, responsiveness and someone whose judgment we could trust implicitly. We found that and so much more in Matt.He was extremely generous with his time, whether it was showing us places when we flew out or responding to our calls and emails. He really listens to his clients, internalizes what they want and leaves no stone unturned to find it for them. He was a reliable and consistent go-between between us and the seller when that was needed.Once we selected a place, he constantly kept us apprised of the construction on our home and sent us many photos and videos, even doing streaming video tours of the construction so we could see the progress. We literally could not have done this transaction with out him.Matt was so good in San Diego that when we had a bit of trouble selling our home back east, we asked him for his advice on that sale -- which we took and which led to quick and excellent results. Unsurprisingly, Matt became a good friend.

It was such a pleasure working with David Diboll in our search for a new home. As first-time home buyers, the entire process was surprisingly quick, easy, and even enjoyable. We honestly felt that our best interest was at heart with David from the moment we began looking until the close of escrow. He's professional yet easy to talk with, quick to respond to our many questions, and he really went to bat for us to ensure we got the best deal possible. We highly recommend David and Shafran Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell!

I had the crazy idea that I might want to sell my house in Encinitas with the thought that I could make enough to pay cash for a new place. So I went on the hunt for potential new places and that's when I met Tim Feuling at an Open House. His friendly and easy going personality made it easy to talk to him about what I was thinking and he agreed that it was a great time to be thinking that way. Tim & the whole Alan Shafran team made it easy to sell my house. They were clear about what I needed to do and represented my interests fairly and honestly. My house sold in a heartbeat and Tim worked hard to find me a new home even if what I was looking for wasn't quite defined. Condo? House? Fixer? we looked at all of them. Then we walked into a place and we both said "this feels like your house". Tim negotiated a great deal for me on my new place and 17 days later I got the keys. With just the right amount of hand-holding & reassurance Tim & the Alan Shafran Team made it easy for me to sell my old place and find my new home. I appreciated the care and consideration the whole team had during both transactions.

Matt Sorensen was a pleasure to work with. He and his team helped our mutual client have a smooth closing and stress-free experience. Looking forward to working with Matt again in the near future. Very professional and knowledgeable throughout the purchase process. Our mutual client raves about him as well.

We just closed on the house that we really wanted and can't be happier with our experience. Our real estate agent David Diboll did an awesome job during our search for a home in San Diego. As first-time homebuyers, we were surprised how easy the process went. David looked up many homes fitting our expectations perfectly and we had a great time visiting them together. After we found "the one", David's excellent negotiation skills helped us to get our offer accepted despite a lot of competition. We are very happy with the whole home buying process and highly recommend David to anyone. He is a true professional and a genuinely nice guy.

My husband and I just closed on our first home purchase together (yay!). Using Matthew Sorensen and Shafran Realty was the best decision we made in this entire process. Matt was incredible! He laid out everything for us and did all of the hard work on our behalf. When we fell in love with a place and put in a bid, we found out that 5 other parties had done the same. He went to bat for us and not only won the property (we 100% believe our offer was accepted because of his hard work), but walked us through every part of the process. We were never stressed and had a fun, enjoyable experience thanks to this team. Highly recommend!!!

I have used Alan Shafran and His Team on multiple home sales and he just closed another one for us. I have been buying and selling homes for my family over the last 20 years and have experienced few different realtors out of this area and by far, Alan Shafran's advice and negotiation skills are always on point. The marketing is level 10. All i's dotted and t's crossed every time. They are always available and always responding almost immediately. If he says it's going to happen, it will! It is easy to see that Alan and everyone over there loves what they do and care about the people they are working for. Don't think twice about calling Shafran Realty Group…

We had a great experience working with Matt Sorensen at The Shafran Realty Group. From the outset, Matt listened to our needs of having to find a property that was very similar to the one we were selling to accommodate the 1031 exchange guidelines. From sending us daily 'like' properties to showing us numerous properties, we were able to find the perfect property match for us. Our 1031 exchange transaction overall was somewhat complicated but Matt guided us along the way from beginning to end. With his help, we were able to close our sold property's escrow one day and the newly purchased property's escrow the very next day. Overall, it was a seamless transaction and we couldn't be happier with the new property. Thank you, Matt!!!!!

We worked with Natasha Brkovik to purchase a home in San Marcos! We had a unique situation and Natasha was always understanding, flexible, and patient. From the moment we met with Natasha, we knew she was a great fit for us and that was proven continually throughout our process! Natasha was always professional, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and kind! Natasha understood exactly what we were looking for and never pushed us in any way or made us feel pressured. Natasha always made herself available to us to answer questions or provide updates. We are so thankful to Natasha for helping us get our new home and making the escrow process INCREDIBLY smooth and easy! She was amazing to work with from beginning to end and we would love to work with Natasha again in the future!

Fantastic service overall! Alan and his staff were always on top of things and were diligent every step of the way. He showed great knowledge of the housing market and used his skills to sell my home in a timely and professional manner. The entire process from beginning to end was smooth and seamless. I highly recommend The Alan Shafran Group if you are looking to sell your home!

If you're looking for an agent that will get the job done I highly recommend calling Alan Shafran. We listed our home with Alan and within 3 weeks our home was in escrow at an amazing price. We couldn't be more thrilled and will definitely be calling Alan again next time we buy or sell.

I recently bought a home with the help of Shafran Realty Group. Specifically, Matt Sorensen and his team. Matt was attentive to all our needs with great communication throughout the process.Buying a home is stressful. Our purchase went off without a hitch.

Shafran Realty Group did it again! They sold one of our rental homes in a matter of days, not too long after selling our primary residence. From beginning to end, they handled all the details including arranging the required minor repairs. You can feel 100% confident that Shafran will take incredible care of you, either getting top dollar for your property, or helping you find and acquire your dream home! Jim B.

We recently worked with Matt Sorensen on the purchase of our dream home. Matt worked incredibly hard to get the best deal for our family; he listened closely to our wants and needs and was able to navigate his negotiations accordingly. It was incredibly helpful to have Matt's wisdom and counsel when making tough decisions along the way. His team at Shafran Realty made the paperwork seamless and easy. We feel very blessed and highly recommend Matt and his team to others!

We worked with Brent Hanson for the last 18 months before finally purchasing our home. Brent was both extremely knowledgeable and patient. He always had our interests in mind and was quick to point out issues with homes that we otherwise wouldn't notice. He's well connected and was able to connect us with other resources when needed. When we finally narrowed down what we wanted Brent was able to find find a home for us before it went on the market so we were able to completely avoid a bidding war which was absolutely wonderful! He has extensive knowledge of the Carlsbad, Encinitas, and Oceanside areas and if you're looking to buy or sell there I would highly recommend him.

We worked with David Diboll of the Shafran Realty Group and were really impressed with how he handled the sale of our condo and the purchase of our dream home. He was really let us explore MANY different areas and gave his honest opinion on neighborhoods, traffic, noise, and different restrictions...which was wonderful since we are from the Midwest and thought we knew what we wanted but maybe needed some advice! He spent many hours finding the right home and made that transaction go through seamlessly. He listed our condo (at probably the worst time of the year--just before the holidays) and after a few months we had the right offer. The closing was NOT smooth but that was not David's fault at all and he kept us updated on the deal daily. He is a very caring and contentious realtor and we feel like he has become a friend. Give David a call... you won't be sorry!

Brent is awesome! I was referred to him by my parents who had a great experience with him buying their home (and they were referred to him by a family friend); everyone who works with him only has great things to say about him which made me feel as comfortable as I could be as a first time buyer. I was not only green to the process but also had no idea what I wanted to buy or where. Brent helped me narrow down my overwhelming search and ultimately find a place that I love! Brent is enjoyable to be around and made house shopping and the whole buying process a positive experience. He's professional, candid, reliable, communicates promptly and follows through. His knowledge and expertise is evident -- with his guidance the first place I put an offer on was accepted (and closed in 14 days per my request)! Thanks Brent!

Alan and his team make the process EASY! When the first offer fell through, they produced a second one the next day. Definitely Carlsbad experts!

My experience with this team was great. Matt Sorensen helped us to find the kind of house we were really looking for. Matt was always in contact and responsive to our needs. His knowledge of the region is amazing. We are very happy with our purchase process.

The Shafran Realty Group are the best realtors I have ever worked with. They were professional, easy to work with and always on top of our transaction. The communication was great, we always felt that our needs were being met and Alan ended up getting us an amazing price for our home. We couldn't be happier.

Fast, Smooth and Professional Service from Alan and his Team. More need not be said.

I had a great experience buying my first home with Shafran Realty Group! I found them through yelp and after reading their awesome reviews I decided to give them a try after interviewing multiple realtors. As a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions. David Diboll was helpful from the very start. Upon our first meeting he had pre-printed packets on each of the local zip codes with statistics on home value, medium costs, schools, safety, etc. I loved it! I wouldn't say that buying the home was "easy" or "stress free," but I would say that David and his team made it as easy as possible.David was very responsive and got me into homes ASAP! There were a few times where I texted him at 11am and he was able to get us in the home just hours later. As a buyer in the hot hot San Diego market, this was obviously a huge asset. Rather than take on 10-20 clients at a time, David will only take 4-5 so that he is available to you when you need him. I really appreciated this approach and absolutely feel that it helped me close on my new home. David took the time to listen to my needs, and gave me his open and honest opinion on each home that we saw. He cared more about helping me find the right home than closing on a sale. A cousin of mine was house hunting at the same time as me...He and his fiancee put in offers on 8 different homes before getting an accepted offer! 8!!! Can you imagine?! With David's help, I only had to put in an offer on 2 homes before finding my forever house! ...Then came escrow. It was certainly stressful at times getting all of my financials together in order to get the purchase loan, but David and the Shafran Realty Group have a great team of people working for you. Obviously, they want you to get the loan approved so you can buy the home, but they made sure to check in every few days to see if I needed anything in the meantime. We were able to close in 29 days, and David actually negotiated a better deal for me during the "request for repairs" phase than I had originally requested. How great is that?!*IF* I am in the position where I need to buy again within San Diego county, I will definitely come back to David and the Shafran Realty Group!

We recently worked with Alan Shafran and Chrissy Rosenfeld and both they, and the entire group were phenomenal to work with. The helped us win a competitive bid, walked us through the entire process, and kept things on schedule and we were able to close while on time while on a trip out of the country. Their knowledge of the process and local real estate was invaluable, and I would recommend The Shafran Realty group to anyone. They have continued to follow up with us to ensure everything has gone well after the close too.

Working with David Diboll at Shafran Realty was a great experience. My husband and I started working with David when we found out we would be moving across country to the San Diego area. Once we made the move, David introduced us to many different areas, listened to what we were looking for in a home and found us the perfect place! David was very knowledgeable about the market and made finding a home such a stress free experience.

My daughter was looking to buy her first home and needed a lot of guidance and assistance since this was her first experience with the real estate market.  Along came Tim Feuling who was simply an amazing agent from start to finish.  He is literally available 24/7 and professional in every way possible.  He really knows the business and looked out for my daughter's interests at all times.  Once we found the property that was the right fit, Tim put us in touch with other professionals who guided us through the rest of the process.  This was so helpful!   The comfort of knowing that Tim was ALWAYS available made the process so exciting for our family.  I highly recommend Tim as an agent especially when you are a first time buyer and need guidance and explanation for the entire process.  Thanks again to Tim and his entire team!

I was fortunate to work with Natasha Brkovic at Alan Shafran Group for the recent purchase of my home. Alan recently sold my Encinitas Ranch home. Natasha helped me downsize. I have been through home purchases before but never had an experience as pleasant as this. Natasha's team is friendly, professional, knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to put the client first. As a recent divorcee, Natasha connected me with a fantastic lender to ensure all my financials were in order to make the home buying process easy. Effortless, actually. Natasha was always one step ahead so all I had to do was show up and sign! Natasha made every effort to ensure I knew exactly what was involved so I was well informed. Never having bought a house myself before, I have to admit I was nervous. Natasha held my hand every step of the way. She did an outstanding job of checking in with me throughout the process by phone and text.She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in a home. Working at the prestigious Alan Shafran Group gives Natasha reach that other realtors don't have. She uses the most updated technology to send me property listings in my search zone and price range. Natasha made me feel as though I were her only client. I went into escrow on three different homes during my search. The first home was the right price but there were plumbing problems so Natasha advised me to move on. That meant extra work for Natasha but she put my needs first. The second home was in a fantastic location but not quite the right home for me. When my dream home came on the market Natasha got me in the door first and helped me make an appropriate offer. I'm happy to say that dream home is now mine! I couldn't have done it without Natasha. I recommend Natasha Brkovic without reservation.

I had the pleasure to work with Brent Hansen. He was incredibly knowledgeable throughout each phase. He never tired showing numerous options AND answering numerous questions! By far the best home buying experience yet! Love my home, thanks Brent Dr. Bastien

We had a great experience with Alan Shafran and his team. They were very professional, timely, responsive, and did everything to sell our house. Other agents had our listing in a much better market, and Alan got the job done. I will work with his team again. I highly recommend him.

Alan and his team did a marvelous job in helping me to sell my Oceanside condo recently. In preparation for the sale of my condo, I visited Oceanside and interviewed six different realtors before selecting Alan based on a great discussion followed by a visit to his office to meet some of the staff. They were very supportive in assisting me to stage the unit for photos and showing, and the resultant listing was very compelling. So much so that I received an offer within 11 days of hitting the MLS with a request for a quick close. In fact, from listing to close was only 3 1/2 weeks! Alan and the whole team were fantastic, keeping me informed all the way and providing logistics support for me since I am an out of town owner. All in all, a VERY great experience!

I have bought and sold many properties in my life and Matt was an exception. Always available to show homes and answer questions, incredible negotiation skills, perfect attention to detail and always supportive and helpful. Never any high pressure. I would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home!

I used Matt with the Shafran group to sell my home in Oceanside. I should say Matt and his team. It really felt good to have several people involved in the selling of my home. Matt and his entire team were great to work with. They were helpful, patient, and professional. Matt laid out the process of marketing my home and getting the best value for me. It worked out just he predicted and I got more than my asking amount! I highly recommend Matt and I would use him again to buy or sell a home.

I've worked with Matt Sorensen for 2 yrs now working on listings and sales. This guy work harder than any other realtor i know. Smooth transactions from start to finish...never leaving the job until it done! Keep up the great Hustle! Dean A

My wife and I purchased our home a couple of years ago and made a massive investment in the home thinking it was our forever home. After a short two years, we decided to make a move and were concerned about recouping our investment in such a short period of time. Alan & team had a strong strategy followed by impeccable marketing and immediate execution. Everything had purpose and strategy. Even with my busy schedule, Alan and the team's communication was concise, supportive, positive and timely. We appreciated their technology and systems, which helped us with scheduling all the different appointments from showings through after the acceptance of the offer. We are proud to say our home sold for top dollar and we are on our way to our next Dream Home. Thank you!

After months of searching for a home and 4 offers being rejected, I contacted Matt Sorensen of the Alan Shafran Group. I met with Matt who was extremely professional and accommodating. After presenting his approach to finding us a home, he identified 3 homes for us to see based on our profile and home wants. The following day he took us to the first home to preview; he had made special arrangements with the Listing Agent for us to see it during the brokers' open. We fell in love with the house. We presented an offer that evening, and two days later the sellers' accepted our offer...before the first open house! We met Matt on Monday and 3 days later, on Wednesday, had our dream home! Matt's personal ethics, and high standards of professionalism, broad knowledge, and realty expertise was simply amazing. His reputation was vital in connecting seamlessly with the Listing Agent, and bringing together the loan and escrow company in a timely manner. Matt is simply the difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary!

I've worked with Brent Hanson at the Alan Shafran Group for the last 2 years since I've moved to California, and purchased two homes. He made the transactions extremely easy, even from across the country! I have always recommended Brent to friends and family, who have also purchased homes with him.  No doubt I will always use Brent for all of my real estate transactions in the future. Thanks again!!

We are both in high-level positions in the Medical industry. This was our 5th transaction with Alan & Matt and Shafran Realty Group. While we both are busy, we expected the highest level of professionalism, execution, and care for our family. We would not have entrusted such large transactions with Shafran Realty Group unless we had full confidence that they would execute and care about us as much as they do." They did not disappoint and delivered on their promises. Call them with full confidence.

Matt Sorenson was and is a great partner in my real estate transaction.  Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING with my transaction went Teflon smooth.  Received more than our initial asking price and closed with no hiccups.  Very, very satisfied.

Alan and his team have been a pleasure to work with. They took their time to answer all of our questions and walk us through the process. We felt very comfortable and at ease knowing that we were working with a true professional. We would highly recommend.

The Alan Shafran Group has sold not one, but two of our homes (in Carlsbad & Oceanside). While the sales were separated by roughly 10 years, the care with which Alan sought to fully understand our unique needs on both occasions ("rent back") was second to none. We took great care to screen several agents (all were top producers in the area) along with Alan the first time around and while we planned to do so again recently with our second home, Alan had built enough trust with us in terms of his professionalism, results-oriented attitude, deep knowledge of the market, and accessibility, that we simply gave his office our second listing. He did not disappoint. It sold in a timely fashion, for top dollar, and without hassle. His guidance every step of the way was always clear and effective. We also like the fact that Alan seems to run circles around other agents and doesn't put up with their shenanigans. It's nice to know you have a very strong agent in your corner and who knows his stuff. I would encourage anyone selling their home in San Diego to seek him out. Alan is THAT good.

I can't say enough good things about this company and our realtor Tim. We met Tim Feuling from the Shafran Realty Group at an open house in Oceanside and knew right away we wanted to chose him as our realtor. My father is a property manager and my father in law is a general contractor, yet we chose Tim even over our parents own recommendations. He and his team always went out of their way to make buying our first home a worry free and fast process. From late night meetings to work around our hectic schedules to today (a month after closing), driving down to San Diego and paying to get us a pool key for our condo because the previous owner never gave us one, he could not have been more accommodating and helpful. He and his team are the most knowledgeable, friendly and hard working team so please, make it easy on yourself and reach out to Tim Feuling at the Shafran group if your looking to buy or sell your home.

We have used Brent Hansen to buy our 1st home in 2011 then to buy and sell in 2018. Each experience with Brent was great, he is very timely with responses and we never felt pressured. He guided us when deciding on listing prices and got our home sold in 2 days! We worked with Amber during the close and she was wonderful to work with and very professional. I hope we don't have to move anytime soon but if we did we would definitely be using Brent and the Shafran team!

I'm happy to recommend the Shafran Reality group and more precisely Tim Feuling who was my agent. Tim is professional, available, knowledgeable about the market as well as the houses in the area and most of all very helpful. I had a specific location in mind and Tim, a go-getter, did not hesitate to go door to door in that neighborhood to speak to residents. As an example, on one occasion he sent us pictures from a neighbor to show how they had remodeled (and give us ideas) as we were waiting for our offer to get accepted. Tim went above and beyond our expectations and I would not hesitate to call him back for my next real estate needs.

When you work with Alan Shafran you get a top of the line home selling experience. Considering all the top agents charge about the same in commission, it really came down to who we personally felt would get the job done and get us the most money for our home. That person was Alan. Not once did we ever feel like we were out of the loop on anything. Alan and his staff did a beautiful job of handling everything from the day we signed our agreement to the day we moved out. Thank you to the whole team for all of your efforts.

I was a first time homebuyer and could not have asked for a better real estate agent than Tim Feuling. The home buying process was so daunting to me at first but Tim made it so manageable. He was so good at finding houses in my price range and in the specific area I wanted (which is not easy as a first time buyer in the San Diego area) and was good about not wasting my time (or his) with places that were out of my price range or not in the area I wanted. Tim was so professional and I felt that he always had my interests in mind. When we would look at properties he would be so honest about pros and cons of the different properties and bring up points that I wouldn't even have thought of being a first time buyer. He was so knowledgeable about the market too which was extremely helpful. Once we found a property that I wanted to pursue, Tim also connected me with other professionals who made the mortgage loan process and escrow a breeze. Thank you to Tim and the entire Shafran team - they were an excellent choice!

Alan Shafran and his team helped us sell our home. Alan was very easy to work with and is a true professional. He was straightforward, easy to understand, communicative, and helpful at every turn. He correctly predicted the value of our home and worked tirelessly to make sure we got the best price we could. He was very strategic and worked in our best interest. We were nervous about our sale because there were homes in our neighborhood that had been listed for a considerable time. Ultimately, Alan got our home sold quickly and at a price above anything that had sold in our neighborhood. Everything that Alan and his team did for us was of the highest caliber. The marketing of the home was so good it made me want to purchase my own home!

Timothy did a fantastic job job getting me the home of my dreams. He was very proactive, easy to reach and communicate with, and very knowledgeable and resourceful. For a first time homebuyer, it was great working with him because he really holds your hand through the whole thing. He even gave me recommendations for lenders, homeowners insurance, and the companies to go with if I decide to rent out the home. Even now, he is getting me in contact with refinancing options. I'm really grateful for him and all his hard work. My parents want to buy a home in the area and they're definitely going to have Timothy as their agent.

Understanding market conditions, timing, and mortgage shopping can be complicated and intimidating. We looked for a realtor that had the experience and reputation to handle both our sale and a new home purchase as well. After interviewing a couple realtors, we decided to work with Alan and his group. It was truly a pleasure. From our first meeting with Alan we felt educated and prepared. He assisted us in decisions throughout the listing and showings process. When offers came in he was always right there with advice and keen negotiating skills. He was professional, frank and level headed...in what can be a emotion charged experience. We were able to find a buyer and reached a deal good for all parties. Alan's group handled every facet of the process through closing. His connections and contacts are top notch...his team is even better! When it was time to purchase a new home, we worked with Tim Feuling. Tim is an experienced professional, one of a special few that have gained the trust necessary to work for Alan's group. Tim was a tremendous resource and knew the details of every community he showed us. His skills negotiating our purchase were unparalleled. He worked professionally and respectfully to get us the best deal possible. Ask for him by name! Leave the tough stuff to these professionals. You won't be sorry.

Our family has worked with Brent Hansen from the Shafran Realty group for years with the purchase and sale of several homes. I've recommended Brent to anyone I know who is selling or buying a home. I can honestly say it was his strategic decisions that got us into our first home when the market was booming, got my Mom into her home soon after and led to the sale my Mom's home for a solid price after she passed away. Everyone that I've sent to him has had the same experience. Solid 5 stars!

We have been extremely pleased with our Shafran Reality experience. Tim Feuling, our agent, was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We gave him a wish list of what we wanted in a house and he worked at it until finding the one that ticked all the boxes. He was always courteous, and upbeat, with a great attitude. Tim was never pushy or aggressive. He kept us informed as to what was going on throughout the process through closing. There was never a doubt that our best interests were first and foremost.When it came time to list our house we did so with Shafran reality as well. We were guided every step along the way with the most professional team we’ve ever experienced in buying or selling a house, and we’ve bought and sold many, many houses. We were able to get a signed offer, above asking price, within three days of listing our home. Completing the process went smoothly as well with the help of Shafran’s support team, particularly Amber Pinkston. She kept things moving long and was always available to answer questions, and guide us.We would highly recommend the Shafran Reality Group to anyone interested in buying or selling a home in the North San Diego County area.

I worked with Alan to sell my Encinitas home. Alan was aggressive where it counts and always had my best interest in mind on every transaction. He's a great guy both professionally and personally. I would highly recommend him and the team to anyone out there looking for a great realtor.

Alan and his team are second to none! Alan's years of experience shine as he thoughtfully guided us through the selling process and gave us realistic expectations of the marketplace. I highly recommend The Alan Shafran Group! They're a team of professionals who worked tirelessly to get our home sold & for top dollar!

We worked with Timothy Feuling to sell our house and could not be happier with the service he provided. He understood our motivation for the move and the advice he offered was invaluable. He was patient while we made our decisions and when we were ready to pull the trigger he had everything lined up and ready to go. His communication is excellent and he is always available, whether it is to offer advice, bounce some ideas around or explain a process or document. He was pro-active in helping us identify a new home within the parameters of what we were looking for and didn't waste time suggesting places that didn't fit with our needs. Excellent service all round.

Alan and his staff were great during the entire process of selling the family's home in Carlsbad. My mother in law had passed away in early November and the family was going to clean, paint and do a few minor repairs, to try to sell the house as quickly as possible. That would have also included termite tenting and home inspection costs, as well as listing the home with a realtor. The Shafran Realty Group came in with a great all cash offer, which eliminated the headaches of inspection, repairs and listing! And it closed in two weeks!Alan and his staff couldn't have been easier to work with and they guided the family throughout the entire process. I strongly recommend them to anyone thinking of selling their home!

After having my home on the market with another agent for almost 6 months. I interviewed approximately 14 agents and hired Alan Shafran and Team. He sold my home in under 30 days at almost full price. He stood behind his word and executed with integrity and skill. Don't think twice. I've done all the interviewing work for you..lol..Just hire Alan & Shafran Realty.

Fast, Smooth and Professional Service from Alan and his Team. More need not be said.

We worked with Alan to sell our house in the La Costa area of Carlsbad. The market had taken a bit of a downturn over the summer, so it required quite a bit of extra effort from the Shafran team, but they remained diligent and helped us get our house sold.

We wanted to close a week earlier than originally proposed by the buyers. This was especially difficult due to the number of holidays while we were in escrow (both Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving). We also had quite a few unexpected issues arise during the closing process. Despite all these setbacks, Alan and his team were able to keep us on track throughout and we were able to hit our aggressive close date

Matt Sorensen of Shafran Realty is the BEST! I'm a first time home buyer. He took me under his wing, hooked me up the right people to obtain the best financing deal, and weeded out properties that he felt would not meet my needs or be a good investment. He treated me really like a younger brother. We were in contract on a townhome and after receiving the HOA documents and dealing with a difficult seller, he advised me to back out of the deal and look elsewhere. Boy, was that the right advice. He found me the PERFECT townhome, at the right price and in a great neighborhood. Matt really knows his stuff. I would recommend anyone looking to buy or sell a property in North County, give Matt a call. Daniel Segal

It was really good luck hiring Shafran group, especially it's member Brent Hansen as our agent for selling our property in Oceanside recently. Brent's frankness, honesty, experience and high responsibility could be sensed from the beginning of the discussion on how to sell the property to the end of closing the escrow. He was always very patient when explaining to us as his clients on each step of the process and each detail of the documents. He was alway prompt in response to our request. Because of his and the term's strategic and highly efficient work, the entire sell process was very quick and smooth. We really appreciated Brent and the team for the great help.

My husband and I were looking for a unique home in Olde Carlsbad. Matt Sorenson helped us write an attractive offer and work with the listing agent to negotiate with tough sellers. In the end, we got the home we wanted!
The purchase was contingent on the sale of our home in Orange County. Matt worked closely with our listing agent to ensure the process was smooth and provided added confidence to the Carlsbad sellers that our contingent offer would result in a sale.
Overall, Matt's consistent communication, positive attitude and thorough follow-up were key factors in buying our new home. Thank you, Matt!
