The Cromers – Coldwell Banker West

My husband and I could not be more pleased with Robert and Yvonne Cromer. They helped us buy our current house back in 2012. It was a short sale and it needed a lot of work. Robert and Yvonne worked so hard to get us the deal and succeeded.
Because of the great experience we had with Robert and Yvonne we used them to put our other house on the market. It sold a few weeks later! This was not just a normal listing either. The house up the street had been on the market for a couple months and was the same exact model and floor plan as ours. Within the first couple weeks the house up the street dropped their price significantly! With Robert and Yvonnes’s expertise they managed to make our house look amazing in person as well in pictures, and the house was sold.
Robert and Yvonne not only got us a great deal on our house and sold our other house under impossible circumstances, the way they handle their business is what made us use them again. They are extremely knowledgeable in what they do and offered lots of good advice. They communicated so well throughout both the purchase and sale of the houses.
I have recommended them to all our friends and family and will definitely be using them in the future!

We worked with Robert to purchase our house in 2008 but most recently had the pleasure of working with Robert and Yvonne to sell the same house. They were very friendly, professional and clearly had our best interests in mind. The process was easy and smooth throughout. They initially did a walk through which helped us prepare for staging the house for showing. They offered some great advice including several things we had not considered, including helping us consider all options when it came to deciding whether to replace our floors or not. The staging process went smooth and they pretty much did this for us, filling in the gaps in furniture and décor. This was key as it helped minimize the intrusion on our lives with showings and the open house. The staging and preparation went so well, we only needed a single weekend open house, with I think 1 other time we had to leave for a showing. We had multiple offers within 6 days of opening (and we did not show it for the first 3). After a few days of back and forth with the offers, we settled on an offer that was substantially higher than we ever expected.
Overall, we had our expectations far exceeded with minimal intrusion to our lives with the process. Robert and Yvonne were professional and highly knowledgable, helping guide us through the challenges and avoiding all the pitfalls. If we ever return to San Diego, we will definitely look them up to purchase our next home

The Cromers successfully helped us with over 15 transactions over the last 3 years, both buying and selling real estate investments. Market Expert… check. Analytical… check. Organized… check. Creative… check. Hardworking… check. Communicative… check.

Buying a house is never a simple thing. Robert, however, did everything in his power to make it so. Very patient, a good communicator and diligent in acquiring the house you set your heart on. As a top agent in Chula Vista, chances are good he will get you that gem of a home in Eastlake. For my family, Robert was able to sell my condo at the highest value among comps. To top it off, Robert was able to get my new home below asking price! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience our realtor.

We were first-​time homebuyers and received a recommendation from a friend whom Yvonne had helped to purchase a property in the past.
First thing we noticed was that Yvonne is exceptionally patient and informative. She was both a real estate agent and a crash-​course instructor on homebuying.
Another remarkable thing about Yvonne was that she will work tirelessly on your behalf. Every time we wanted to check out a home, no matter how out of the way or how out of the blue, we can count on Yvonne showing up with all the informative paperwork. At times, we feared she would grow frustrated with us, but that was never the case!
The best thing about Yvonne, though, is that she still cares about you and will fight for you even after you have purchased your home. We had had an issue with the home insurance and she promptly helped us resolve it.
I highly recommend the Cromers because they are tireless advocates for their clients. We would definitely do business with them again!

We purchased a condo as an investment property in Eastlake a few years back. The financing our side was as solid as it could be. The banks were being overly cautious and took forever to fund. Robert kept us informed throughout the whole process and made sure that we stayed on task. Without him being the positive force, we would have backed out. He made sure that we followed through on a great opportunity. I can’t say enough good things about him.

This time last year we were looking hard for a house so we could retire to Southern California. Yvonne took charge and provided the guidance we needed to find the place of our dreams! Not only did she navigate the complicated paperwork (it was a short sale), but she advised us throughout since she knew that we were strangers to this area. We’re delighted, to say the least, with the Cromers’ support and expertise, and will let all our friends know whom to call in San Diego.
