Susan Taylor and Dolores Beddow

We had the most rewarding experience buying our first house with the great help from Dolores and Susan. They are such a great team, highly professional and credible realtors. They work hard to make sure our interests serve to the best, gave a professional and reasonable advice during the process. We end up with closing a deal for our dream house, meeting the timeline and the price target. We would gladly recommend both Dolores and Susan; they appreciate client’s terms and conditions, and are working hard to fulfil them.

Susan and Dolores are great! They are well experienced and full of knowledge. They made us feel like we were their only client with the attention they provided. 110% Recommended.

Dolores and Susan are a wonderful team that deliver amazing results! They are very knowledgeable, and provided meaningful details to us with their market assessment, analysis and timing regarding listing our home. Their level of professionalism exceeded our expectations throughout the entire process of selling our home. They shined brightly when it came to providing valuable and cost effective solutions in staging our vacant home, highlighting its best features. We were also more than satisfied with their personable negotiation with all parties involved in the sale of our home. We were happy to receive asking price for our home based on Dolores and Susan’s thoughtful planning, negotiating and execution. We are grateful for the chance to have worked with them, and would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to family, friends and colleagues in need of real estate services.

Susan and Delores know their stuff. They were extremely helpful in the entire process of selling my mother’s house in Lake San Marcos. They gave us a list of recommended repairs, people they trusted who could do the work and staged it once everything was freshened up. The house had multiple offers and quickly sold. We highly recommend them.

I first came in contact with Dolores and Susan as they were recommended to me by my credit union. Having just moved to San Diego a few months prior, my wife and I were looking for a home but didn’t really know the city and wanted to get a good overview of the different areas.
Dolores and Susan really listened to us and were exceedingly patient in showing us homes in Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Bernardo and Poway. Together we must have looked at 40 – 50 homes. We worked primarily with Dolores but also viewed some homes with Susan. As Dolores got to know us and our preferences, likes and dislikes, she began to send us more focused listings more in line with what we were looking for.
One house we had liked was under contract but suddenly came back on the market. Dolores helped us put an offer together quickly and helped guide us through all of the steps in the closing process.
I think they are both awesome, they really care about their clients and are really trying to find you the best home for you. If you are looking for some very professional agents who are also very nice people, I highly recommend Dolores and Susan!

Professional from the get go. Above board and great to work with. I appreciated their direct approach of what we needed to do to sell the house. The process moved along, we closed early and Dolores was there at every point to answer questions, help navigate and offer advice on how to get the most money out of the sale.
We met with a lot of sleezy agent and ones who made inflated promises — Susan and Dolores are in a different league. Thank you!!!

First of all, we would give them more stars if we could, they are simply great :-)! Now, on to my review, which should have been written a few weeks back, but moving took up all my time then.
It was a real pleasure working with both of them. They sure did go above and beyond being our real estate agents. I still cannot believe that we found an agent who is highly interested in details and getting things in order and so on top of things! My husband and I are sticklers for details. And it was such a relief not to feel like «oh am I asking too many questions? am I looking into too many little things?» etc., because we knew that Dolores would listen and answer and get the answers, however many questions we had. Thank you so much for that! Real estate terms and paperwork can be so overwhelming, but Dolores made sure she kept checking in to ensure we didn’t drown in them :-)
On closing they gave us such thoughtful and beautiful gifts too. By that time our relationship was more friendship than agent-client!I should also say that they have been really lucky for us and we found our «dream home» in a community where homes hardly came for sale.
I could ramble on and on some more about how great they were to work with. But I’ll stop here and definitely say that if we were to sell our condo one day, it would be Susan & Dolores that we would go straight to :-). And we would also recommend them to our friends, because frankly I don’t think you can find better people to work with!!!

My husband and I have been house hunting on and off for 2 years. We’ve worked with a few realtors, but found that most just wanted to sign us up for their automatic emails with little regard to our needs.
We decided that we were not going to work with any realtor and just check websites for new listings (zillow
etc). I called Susan regarding an interesting listing on Zillow and low and behold she was having an open house at that very moment.
I went up to the property after work that day and was amazed to see that the property met all of our needs. There was only one problem… it was over our price range! I told Susan that and she was very patient in offering solutions and options for us.
A week or two later, the property still had not sold and we got into the negotiations!
Dolores got involved at that point and it could not have been smoother. They both outlined the entire process in detail including timeframes and tips as to what we needed to follow up on.
Overall, both of them left us with such positive impressions and we couldn’t be happier with our new house! We won’t hesitate to call them again when we look for our next property!

I have known Dolores Beddow for over 20 years, and I can attest that she has the highest level of ethics and professionalism.
When the time came to purchase a new home, we started out several months in advance of our anticipated move date by having a comprehensive meeting in her office where Dolores helped us to refine what we were looking for as far as neighborhoods/​location/​house style, size, price, etc. She also made sure that we had our ducks in a row as far as financing, etc. After that initial meeting, she sent us MLS listings which were targeted to our criteria and that really helped to educate and familiarize us with the local market. She also encouraged us to write down a ‘wish– list’ of all of the ‘dream’ attributes we would desire in a house.
We scheduled a day to view selected properties in representative neighborhoods, to continue to refine what we were looking for. Our idea was to continue to gather information, as we were not in a rush to move. Dolores put together a great list of properties to visit and neighborhoods to drive through.
MAGICALLY, the VERY FIRST house we stepped foot into, which had JUST hit the market (it had only been listed about an hour earlier) grabbed us. We ‘knew’ it was ‘our house’. The one for us. It felt just like home the minute we walked in. We put an offer on the house that very day and it was accepted the next day. There were multiple back-​up offers. Dolores expertly coordinated the entire purchase process and we moved in about 30 days later. Everyone who visits our home comments that this house is ‘us’ and is ‘perfect’ for us, and we could not agree more. We have lived in our new home for six months; we settled right in, and already have created wonderful memories with family and friends and can’t imagine ever leaving. Dolores has a philosophy that sometimes, a house finds its owners and we believe that was very true in our case.
I attribute our success to Dolores’s practical and intuitive ability to ‘hear’ things we may not have even clearly verbalized about what we were looking for, and to be a ‘matchmaker’ for us to find our dream home. She really does her homework. She is a pleasure to work with. She has a ‘can-​do’ and enthusiastic attitude about solving the inevitable ‘bumps’ in any purchase process.
Thank you Dolores!

Susan Taylor had to have a lot of patience to help my wife and I to find our new home in Oceanside! My daughter said to Susan «they don’t even know what they want» about pleasing us. Perhaps that was true, but Susan managed to help find us the perfect place. Finding a home is a process and she was committed to finding us one we liked. She listened to our comments and reactions and would be up early every morning finding new listings for us to look at. Given that we lived out of the area, we sometimes needed her to visit some of the better looking houses to give us her «boots on the ground» reaction. Very helpful! We couldn’t be happier with her performance.

Susan and Dolores are experts at what they do. They advised us on what we needed to do to get the house ready for sale. Their local knowledge of the area allowed them to do a very good price analysis. With all of that combined, they were able to get a full price offer on the first open house day. I would highly recommend them and would use their services again!

Susan and Dolores were highly professional and knowledgeable every step of the way. Housing inventory is very low and mulitple offers were expected on the home we wanted to purchase. With Susan’s expertise, she worked with the listing agent to present our offer very strong. To our surprise, our offer was accepted As-​Is. My husband and I were shocked! We did not have to get into a bidding war which was a relief. The transaction was very smooth. Susan and Dolores were not pushy at all. They helped us make educated decisions and offered recommendations when we asked for them. I would highly recommend them as a real estate agent.

I had the pleasure of having Dolores Beddow as my real estate agent when looking for my first home. She was professional, friendly and eager to help me find that special place I could call my own. Because it was my first place, Dolores understood how important it was to me that it fit a certain criteria and had that «this is it» factor when I saw it. Through our year and a half experience, we had several of those moments and Dolores was there with me every step of the way — from the offer, to the negotiation, through the home inspection, and even the disappointment when the first few didn’t work out for one reason or another. Dolores was great at getting the details and comps for every place that interested me, and we looked at so many I lost count. She never tired of locating and showing me the places I wanted to see though, and for that I am grateful. I/​we never would have finally find my perfect place if we would have slowed down our pace. Dolores is thorough, knowledgeable and puts you right at ease with the whole process. Hunting for a place with Dolores as an agent is like looking for the perfect home with a good friend.

Susan and Dolores have been outstanding. They worked tirelessly with me to find the right house that met my needs. They toured with me through many houses and always provided good feedback. Their knowledge and experience were invaluable. As a first time home buyer I am relieved to have had such great agents working on my behalf. Special thanks to Susan, as I primarily worked with her and she helped me through every step in this process.

My husband and I have just completed a home purchase with Susan Taylor. She is a consummate professional who knows the North County housing market extremely well. We had a long and specific list of requirements for our new home and were pleasantly surprised by how many homes Susan found for us to choose from! We also have high standards for the level of communication we expect when making such a costly purchase, and Susan’s communication and level of detailed and knowledgable answers to our questions were unparalleled. During the negotiation phase, she provided us with excellent counsel and we were able to purchase our home at a below-​market price. Home buying and moving can be stressful, but our home-​buying experience with Susan was the opposite of that — fun, easy, and successful. We would recommend her to anyone.

Now I’ve never been accused of being easy to please. I know what I want and can admittedly be a little difficult to deal with at times. With those qualities in mind I have to say Dolores did a fantastic job for my family. We were under time constraints and had certain needs and wants within budget and she came through with flying colors. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy as well as anyone looking to list.
