Reef Point Real Estate

I am in the military and received unexpected orders where I had to move my family of five in a very short period of time. It was a potentially stressful situation where we had to make an important family decision that could impact our future. My wife and I weren’t from the area, and didn’t quite understand the real estate market. My wife wanted to rent, and I wanted to buy, but we both were unsure of what the right answer was. So we decided to contact John Reeves at Reef Point Real Estate, which turned out to be our best decision. He made us feel comfortable about the decision we were about to make by completely analyzing our options without putting pressure on us to make a decision we weren’t ready to make. The team at Reef Point worked with my family on our own terms, allowing us to make the right decision that would set up our family for success. We ended up buying a house and we couldn’t be happier with the home-​buying process that Reef Point created, enabling us to make the right investment for our future. I would recommend Reef Point to not only Military members, but to anyone who wants to work with a team who truly cares about you.

Reef Point Real Estate helped my husband and I purchase our first home. We were in no rush to purchase, as we had a specific neighborhood we wanted to buy in, but after searching for a while on Zillow postings we found a condo we fell in love with. I reached out to Travis Johll and John Reeves at Reef Point and they immediately did some research on the property. Within no time my husband and I had price comparisons and a scheduled time to see the property the very next day! Travis worked around my husband’s busy work schedule and he and our lender Jacob Lowery answered all our questions with prompt and professional communication. They even connected us to an amazing attorney who helped us get the condo complex VA approved so we would be able to use our VA Loan Benefit for the purchase. We have now been in our home for almost a year and love it! Highly recommend John Reeves and team for your next home purchase.

John Reeves and his entire team at Reef Point are consummate professionals and leaders in all aspects of San Diego Real Estate. From the beginning to the end, every interaction was timely, professional, and provided value to our goal of selling our house! John personally came to our home and spent the afternoon explaining the services his team could provide for us and answered all of our questions as first time home sellers. We worked primarily with Aja and Yvonne, both of whom provided top notch service and were always available to answer questions and keep the process moving. My wife and I never felt pushed to do or accept anything we were not comfortable with as they facilitated a very smooth transaction. Jason, their risk manager, was also extremely helpful, making himself available night and day to answer questions and ensure we had the appropriate information to fill out the stack of online documents throughout the process. You can stop your research here, this is the team that will gladly address your Real Estate needs. Thanks John and Reef Point team!

Reef Point Real Estate is the place to start for anyone looking to reach their real estate dreams and desires! Their team is set up to accommodate all requests, small and large, from seller to buyer, investor to renter, they cover it all, and do so with style, care, and truly excellent customer service… John Reeves goes out of his way to ensure his clients get the best deal, shrewdly negotiates on behalf of his clients, and gets the job done. In a world where customer service & customer attention seem to be waning and disregarded, John and his team really kick it up a level in how they care for the clients they serve.
It’s quite refreshing to see a group of such ‘client-​centric’ professionals caring for the Military segment of our population, and ‘serving those who serve us’ — truly inspirational!
Thank you for your loyalty, thank you for your service, and keep up the good work!

I recently bought a home through Reef Point Realty, and had a very positive experience.
John personally walked me through the entire process. I picked a price range, described what I was looking for, we drove out to see various properties, and within a week I picked a house.
Once the preliminaries were done, John’s team really kicked into gear. At every point I felt like they were my advocates, negotiating for the seller to take care of numerous repairs and answering any questions I had. On multiple occasions, I’d meet with Stella, John’s assistant, at the property, where we’d identify issues and follow up on repairs. Jason helped smooth things over and ensure there were no loose ends. As a first time active duty buyer, they went through great lengths to ensure that I was comfortable with the process through and through. I had expected this to be a stressful experience, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Thanks Reef Point!

By far the most professional and experienced agency in San Diego. I got to work with Alyssa Davies who was beyond helpful. She hand walked me through the entire process and went above and beyond what I could ask anyone who doesn’t get paid unless everything works till the end of the process. I can’t say enough how satisfied I am with the service I received after working with numerous agents. Alyssa sent me very precise listings and took me to see them almost immediately after I asked. My loan fell through after lender lowered the amount but Alyssa remained positive and encouraged me to take care of some steps before trying again. Also, the owner, John was always very polite and welcoming when I stopped by their office. I would definitely recommend this company and I plan to hire them again. Thank you Reef Point.

Absolutely terrible customer service. Tried calling the property manager of a property that I was interested in looking at several times. Couldn’t get a call back. Even called the agency itself, left a message with a gentlemen that said I would get a call back first thing in the morning. That did not happen either. I wish I could’ve said it went better and I was able to take a look at this amazing house that I was truly interested in, but that was definitely not the case.

Living out of state, I knew that selling our home in California would pose as a challenge. With my profession and the amount of time I out into my job, I knew I had to get someone I trusted to sell my home. My home in Chula Vista was being rented for the last 2 years so I knew getting the tenant to vacate, find a new rental for her, and sell my home for profit would be difficult. Without a doubt, I knew John and Brandon at Reef Point could handle this! We served together and I knew if these guys could fight for America, they would fight for me.
Brandon went to the home, talked with the tenant, and listed the home in less than a month. The pictures of the home came out wonderful and there were 10 showings in first 4 days. The house went into escrow in 10 days and closed 24 days later. They negotiated the repairs for me and saved me money. Jason also helped with all the necessary paperwork needed to close and was always able to be reached at all times of the day. The process was smooth and the communication was great!
Thank you so much again, Reef Point, for making this easy and give my wife and I the peace of mind all the way across the United States!

Reef Point Realty in my opinion are the best realtors in Southern California. When I decided to stay in the San Diego area after transitioning from active duty I made the ultimate decision to buy property. Knowing this was going to be the biggest purchase of my life I wanted a realtor that I could trust. A friend who I attended the Naval Academy with recently bought a townhome in Point Loma utilizing Reef Point and he was very pleased. After contacting them I was assigned Brandon Rampani.
I was immediately impressed with Brandon’s work ethic and knowledge of the real estate world. As most of us know Southern California real estate is in a league of its own. I expressed to Brandon that I wanted a detached home, west of Route 5, and decently close to the beach. Brandon did not just become my realtor, but he became my friend and ultimately he was looking for a home for me to live in and my best interest. His knowledge on properties and the surrounding area was second to none. His communication skills were excellent because he always kept me informed on new properties that fit my search. His flexibility around my schedule to look at homes was also very impressive. He always contacted me with speed and if I found a potential property, he always arranged a site visit with in 24 hours of me telling him. Also, when you are looking for a home to purchase in Southern California you have to be prepared for a long process of looking in multiple areas depending on budget and the fast rate homes sell. Brandon has the endurance to stay ahead of the game. His ability to see where the real estate market is going and what purchase would benefit the seller is a hidden talent that I have not seen in many realtors. He drives to multiple locations daily to not just look at the property, but also what the surrounding area has to offer. He will go as far north, west, south, and east for any client. Whether it be Santee or Oceanside, Brandon will meet you there with background information and geographical knowledge of the respective property. His actions always places the client as his #1 priority every time.
When I found the home I wanted to purchase in Imperial Beach I contacted Brandon and we looked at it the next day, with ultimately coming to the decision to place an offer. At this point Brandon needed some biographical information on myself to present the seller with the opening offer. He also assisted me on what my offer should be. I was very impressed with his ability to predict counter offers and where I should stand with my offer. More importantly his communication skills and informing me when the counter offer came back was excellent. Brandon works day and night for you and also you are not his only client. He has many offers to write and many houses to show, but his fast acting determination during the selling process make you feel like you are his only client.
Brandon was very dedicated to making sure we closed on my home and in a very fast manner. Even in the closing process Reef Point Realty made every transition smooth and painless. Documents were very easy to sign and were sent to me promptly and Brandon kept me informed of every step and also future obligations that needed to be done by myself. Since I was using a VA loan the process of closing was a little longer than usual but Brandon clarified this for me so I had no surprises and knew exactly what to expect.
In closing, I strongly recommend Reef Point Realty to anyone who is interested in purchasing a home in the Southern California area. As I sit in my new home I truly appreciate Brandon Rampani’s relentless work ethic and undying determination to making a dream become a reality.

We looked at a LOT of houses and John and Brandon were there every step of the way to give us the pros and cons of each one. They were great about working with the sellers to get times for showing. And when it came to putting in offers, they knew exactly how to get our offer looked at more seriously than others in the same range. They were also really good about helping us get all the financing details in order.
If you’re looking for a great realtor, I highly recommend Reef Point.

My significant other and I are making the move to San Diego from Delaware for a job opportunity he received in the area. Since we would like to have housing when we move to the area in order to minimize time in a hotel, we’ve been looking at apartments/​houses online in the hopes of being able to do the process remotely.
We found a listing in North Park from Reef Point Realty and were very interested in it. I had my significant other call them and an answering service said the appropriate person would return his call. About 20 minutes later, he received a text message (not a call) saying the property was being shown this afternoon. In an attempt to talk with the person and let them know our situation to see if they could work with us, my significant other called the phone number that text him and explained the situation.
The person who answered, Daniel Miller, was very rude and brief with him and said he prefers only to do business with people who he can «see and shake their hand». He suggested we just drive out to San Diego and stay in a hotel until we could find housing. We are moving our entire home across the country and, like most people, would rather not waste time and money living in a hotel. Not to mention having to place all of our things in storage in the interim.
I would think property management companies such as these would be more receptive to helping individuals find housing as that is their job. With how nonchalant and unhelpful Daniel Miller was, I would never want to rent from a company like this. I can only imagine how helpful they are to tenants once they already have their money.

I recently purchased my first home after receiving military orders to Whidbey Island, WA. Although not in his area, I called John Reeves of Reef Point Realty to help me through the process. Within the same I day I contacted him, John provided me with not only an outstanding local realtor for the area I was moving to, but also a lender who got me the best possible financing I could hope for! John is a first class people person who genuinely cares about helping others get through what can be a very stressful process. Through his amazing military-​friendly network I was able to make my homebuying experience a true pleasure. He and Reef Point are a company you can trust, which is a hard thing to come by these days. I can’t recommend Reef Point Realty enough. Thanks John!

This review is based on my experience with my Realtor Jacob Yeagle, Reef Point Realty and CMG Financial. Separate entities but they work seamlessly together that It seems your dealing with one company.
Its been a few days short of 60 days since I moved in to my new house. I wanted to wait until I was settled in to write a review of my experiences so I could look back on the whole experience from start to finish. About me: I have been renting in San Diego for approximately 10 years. I am active duty military. Very familiar with the area.
For the sake of an honest review I must disclose Jacob is a long time friend of mine. With that being said I made it clear this would be a purely business relationship in regards to the purchase of my home. I meant business. I made him earn my business like I would anyone else. I attended a buyers presentation with Jacob and John Reeves and was thoroughly impressed. The fact they provide a rental management service was very appealing to me since I will eventually be moving from San Diego but want to maintain my investment while I am gone. After meetings with a few other Realty companies I begun my home search with RPR.
I had a very specific price range in mind and would not deviate from it. California is expensive and its easy to get carried away with all the beautiful homes. At first I was worried my search would be taken less serious due to the lower dollar amount but quite the contrary, everyone was extremely accommodating. After a 2 month and about 25 showings plus literally hundreds of online homes I found the one I wanted. From there Jacob and CMG took over. It was a much easier process than I imagined. Before I knew it Jacob had counter offered and saved me close to 10k, I was very enthused. Everything rolled smoothly until it was time to fund the loan. Due to a mistake on my part funding was delayed by approximately 3 weeks. I started to become very annoyed and agitated even though it was my fault. Jacob and CMG stayed on course and without being pushy kept me in the fight. Boy was I glad they did because it all paid off in the end.
Long story short, I didnt expect to write so much and there is so many boring details I didnt include, but I emerged a 100% satisfied customer. As I type I am sittting in the living room of the home that I own and not in base housing giving my money right back to the government. I am putting money in my own pocket. It still blows my mind when I come home and think this is mine.
I would recommend and encourage you to give Jacob a call and experience the same aggressive work ethic and pursuit for customer service that I did. He has a no nonsense approach and will work hard for your business. Tell him Christian sent you.

Bought my first home and I was a little nervous with the whole process, but Jacob took care of me throughout the whole process. When it’s time to upgrade I will definitely give him a call.

I would never recommend this firm to anyone, not even someone I really disliked. They are quick to promise you everything till you sign on the dotted line, and then are hard to get a hold of. I signed on with John Reeves (his name is on the paperwork) but he didn’t show up once in the transaction, sending Brandon Rampani instead without even having the courtesy to notify me of the change.
I’m not sure who writes these reviews for Reef Realty. I think they must be from friends and family. I was contacted by them and after their very nice presentation decided to sign them on to represent me for the sale of my house. Boy was that a mistake. First of all, they snuck in a $ 495 fee for their transaction coordinator, which I called them out on. That should have been warning #1. Next, John Reeves, the agent I signed on to represent me, never once showed up. He sent Brandon Rampani instead to handle the transaction without even notifying me. Brandon seemed competent but extremely overloaded. He acted as though he was obliging me by representing me — indicating that he had been to the home «too many times» when I asked him to stop by and let the repairman in (an exact number of ONE). He also let me know that I had been given special treatment in using their firm’s construction branch for repairs. The whole reason I signed on with these guys was because they told me I could use their construction firm for repairs, and because they said they would stop by the home in case any techs needed to get in, as I was moving out of San Diego.
Brandon did the job but was not at all accessible — he was always in meetings, not accessible by phone on crucial days like removal of contingencies or close of escrow, didn’t know of certain things that could have led to delays in the transaction, said he’d be there for certain appointments and then wasn’t. He rescheduled my termite inspection without notifying me and then didn’t bother to show up (neither did the termite guy which wasted my time). He was absolutely not available after the listing went online and I had to go through the transaction coordinator to get my questions answered and my concerns addressed. Brandon even threatened my buyer’s agent by telling her that he’d cancel the deal and move the home to active pending cancellation — all of this without first checking with me! He advised me to put in a clause that would penalize the buyers every day they were late. This caused the buyers to drop 10k on their offer! I expected my agent to know better and to advise me better. Not once did Brandon apologize for this. Brandon also refused to work within another buyer’s schedule who was interested — this resulted in potential lost income for me as Brandon would have represented both the buyer and seller.
He was so busy that he couldn’t bother to let me know that the close of escrow would be 1 business day earlier ((Friday instead of Monday) — I had to email him to find out. He didn’t call me till the following Monday to congratulate me.
I am beyond disappointed with the shoddy treatment I received. I would NEVER recommend this firm. The only highlight was the transaction coordinator Jason Ross.
I’d recommend getting everything that they promise you in writing so that you don’t get treated differently once you sign on the dotted line. I repeatedly asked them in my interview if they had the bandwidth to represent me to the fullest and they assured me they did. My experience shows otherwise.
I still have no idea why John Reeves, my broker, never once showed up in the transaction even though his name was on the deal. He never bothered to respond to my email detailing my experience either. Just goes to show you that all these guys care about is locking you in and getting their cut.

We just recently bought out second home with Reef point realty working with Brandon and it was absolutely fantastic! We didnt have the biggest budget to work but a very specific area in mind and he was relentless for us and was able to land us a house that was as close to perfect as you can possibly get! Wasnt pushy wasnt rude about our budget and was quick with responses or leads for us. When the time comes again I know who I will be calling! :)

Reef Point Realty is truly a stand out San Diego business. My father has been in realty for many years and I have seen the good and bad when it comes to customer service, marketing, and overall buying and selling experience. I can tell you that RP knows how to do it all… the right way!
Their crew is full service. Extremely knowledgeable about the current market, well versed in successful marketing strategies, and very intuitive of client needs & wants. I highly recommend working with the RP team, they know how to get the job done.

This review is from my experience with them in late 2012. I saw one of their condos listed on
. I drove by the unit and saw their sign in the window, so I knew it was their listing. I called the main phone number listed and got John’s voicemail. I left him a message letting him know I was interested in the condo and would like to tour the inside. A day went by and I hadn’t heard back from him. I called and left him another voicemail. Still no response.
I was concerned that the property was going to sell to someone else so I started calling a few local agents (from other real estate companies). One of them met me at the property and gave me a tour. It was not pretty inside, but the price was right so I was willing to at least make an offer. The agent who gave me the tour said he had tried numerous times to reach the agent by phone and email, but to no avail. So my offer submitted but never reviewed.
I wish I could have contacted the Sellers of that condo. I would have let them know that their agent doesn’t respond to buyers or other Realtors. Terrible experience. I would never use nor recommend this company to anyone.

If you’re looking for an investment property, then you need to meet John and his team! As an investor, I trust John to provide me with the guidance necessary to make an informed and sound real estate decision. John’s killer business sense and analytical mind helped me secure a 16 unit property near the USC campus that immediately turned a profit. It’s easy to do business with great people!

I have worked with Reef Point Realty personally and referred several friends to them. It has been so refreshing to work with such knowledgeable professionals that take pride in their work.
When looking for my first home, I had so many questions and was so nervous about making a large purchase but John Reeves and Brandon Rampani were great at delivering the information I needed to feel comfortable. The entire process was seamless and now I am the proud owner of a house that I love.
