"Late this spring our family learned it would need to purchase a condominium in San Diego before my granddaughter starts high school in late August. Neither my son’s family nor my wife nor I was familiar with San Diego, much less its real estate market. The first weekend in May my son and I flew to SD and met for the first time with Anne. She virtually gave us her whole weekend showing us the neighborhoods, a variety of properties and hearing what our needs/goals were. We left SD knowing a bit more about the housing market and that we had, in fact, met a wonderful, committed and knowledgeable realtor. Within only a few days Anne sent us video clips of a property that had just come on the market and was in the area near the school my granddaughter would be attending. It was time for us to again fly down to SD to visit the property and, if reasonable, write an offer. My daughter-in-law and I flew down for the day, were met at the airport by Anne and visited the property. We wrote an offer and left our deposit at the title company. Anne drove us back to the airport. Anne guided us through the most complicated escrow I had ever experienced (and I am a retired real estate broker). Despite needing to change lenders and overcome unexpected obstacles, Anne tirelessly got us through escrow and we now own the desired property. Throughout, Anne was warm, friendly, available and patient with us. She kept lenders, listing agents and title officers on track as she guided all of us to close this escrow. Thank you, Anne."

"I was fortunate to have been introduced to Anne seven years ago when my wife and I were looking for a new home. At the time we were not entirely sure what we were looking for, beyond more room for our growing family and staying in the Ocean Beach/Point Loma area. Anne kept us up to date on new properties and was incredibly patient with us as buyers. Showing us numerous properties until we eventually found our dream home in a dream location, a couple of blocks to the beach and close to Sunset View Elementary School. After which she coordinated and guided us through the offer and counter process at a time when I was overseas for work and my wife was traveling summer vacation with our sons. I will always greatly appreciate how well Anne navigated and helped make the process as smooth as possible. When it came time to sell our rental property in Ocean Beach, it was only natural to call Anne as her easy-going and detail-oriented personality had been such a good fit for us in the past. Anne did a wonderful job of helping us prepare and sell our rental. She also was tremendous about coordinating with our tenants throughout the process. I would highly recommend Anne for her attention to detail, knowledge of the process and genuine good personality. She knows when to advise and when to push. She was a great asset guiding us through both buying and selling."

"I listed my house in Point Loma with Anne and was very pleased with the results. I live overseas and the house had been rented for 10 years and was very run down. A real mess. I needed to evict the tenant and then get in to renovate before putting the house on the market. A lot of work with a short amount of time due to living overseas. Anne stepped in and arranged a painter, a floor finisher and a cleanup crew from her extensive list of resources. All of these people performed exceptionally well at a very competitive price. This is something I could not have done on my own. I returned home and Anne continued negotiating with the market while keeping me advised of our progress and discussing ongoing strategy. We ended up in a difficult and prolonged Escrow due to our purchaser's unique circumstances and I called on Anne to provide expertise on how best to complete the sale. During this time Anne and her husband went above and beyond the call of duty by actually going over and cutting my lawn as the house was vacant for this extended period. I have owned and sold many homes over time. I have developed a number of properties as well so I know the process and I would not hesitate to recommend Anne to anyone looking for a competent, professional and results-oriented representative."

“We have been clients of Anne Herrin for several years. During those years she has helped in numerous ways, always with a smile, to find or sell a home for us. She never gives up! Anne is an incredible agent and her knowledge of the market trends has served us well. We feel so lucky to have Anne as our agent. Each time we would come to San Diego she would be prepared to show us every home which might fit our needs. When we were in Gig Harbor, Washington, she would provide us with accurate online information and telephone support. She was there to answer any questions we had. Anne is a true professional with the most charming and warm personality. Long days of house hunting were fun. She kept track of how our Gig Harbor home sale was moving along. She kept track of the home purchase of our San Diego condo seller. She was amazing! Did we mention we had no car available and were camping at Camperland in Pacific Beach? Anne picked us up every day in her adorable electric car and was prepared to show us many types of homes. We finally found, thanks to Anne's perseverance, the perfectly priced, large, view condo. We love it! She kept close tabs on every step of the sale. Her untiring energy, professional knowledge, and positive attitude make her a true asset.”

“I highly recommend Anne as a real estate agent for transactions in and around San Diego, and Point Loma in particular. I first met Anne a few years ago when inquiring about a home in Point Loma. After a brief conversation, I immediately recognized she was different than other real estate agents I had worked with. She provided extremely professional, pertinent, unbiased, helpful, and honest information. Quite frankly, I had never experienced such high-quality service before. As a result, I have relied on her assistance and expertise for all my real estate inquiries and transactions since. I continue to be impressed and satisfied with the service she provides. In short, Anne adds significant value to transactions through her professional expertise as well as her personalized attention. Despite an increasingly digital real estate market where buyers and sellers can perform many real estate transactions ‘online’, I still always choose to work with Anne because she adds a dimension of personal and professional value well beyond anything the internet provides. For these reasons, I highly recommend Anne and am confident that she will contribute valuable assistance to any real estate transaction.”

“After my father passed away, my mother was looking to sell the house that she had lived in for 50 years. As you can imagine, this was a very emotional event in all of our lives. We knew that we had to find a real estate agent with the right mix of patience, market knowledge, compassion, and integrity. Anne Herrin possessed all of these qualities, which made the sales process much easier for everyone, especially my mother. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate everything that Anne did for my mom and we were able to conclude the sales process in a very expeditious and efficient manner. Additionally, we received a very fair price and my mother is now able to live comfortably for the rest of her life. If you are looking for an agent that possesses integrity, knowledge, compassion and the ability to “Get The Job Done,” I would highly recommend considering Anne Herrin as your agent. There is nobody better.”

“We recently both sold and purchased homes in Point Loma. These transactions went quickly and smoothly due to the efforts of our outstanding local agent, Anne Herrin. During our purchase, having an agent familiar with the local market quickly directed us to the appropriate properties and allowed us to understand pricing in this market. The directions of our agent, Anne Herrin, greatly assisted us in securing funding for our new loan and in presenting a competitive offer to the seller. Without Anne's efforts and presented to the seller and seller's agent, the purchase would not have occurred. Secondly, while representing us during the sale of our home, Anne Herrin, marketed the property with a strategy that resulted in a rapid sale. The immediate open house showings, appropriate pricing, and effective photo brochures created large and early foot traffic and several offers.”

“ I am so grateful to Lauren for going above and beyond to help me sell a home in Santa Cruz and buy another. Lauren walked me through every step of the transaction and was ALWAYS available to answer my questions, refer me to needed contractors, and provide general support and encouragement. Without her experience, expertise, and reputation in Santa Cruz County, I am not sure we would have gotten the sale or purchase done.”

– Orion and Gloria

“My wife and I were connected to Anne through a mutual friend. After speaking with a number of other local real estate agents then talking with Anne, it was clear from the beginning that Anne needed to be our partner in the search for a home. From the get-go, it was clear that Anne's friendliness, integrity, first-hand knowledge of the market, and strong work ethic would be a winning package. After weeks of in-depth research and multiple visits to more than a dozen properties, we found a unit in Point Loma that worked very nicely for our plans. Throughout the offer and purchase process, Anne's advocacy, seeming tirelessness, and positive attitude were exceedingly helpful. If the opportunity to recommend Anne to others appears, we will do so without hesitation. It has been an absolute pleasure working with her.”

– Lawrence and Miyoko S.

“When it comes to describing Anne Herrin and her ability as a Realtor, a litany of words beginning in "P" come to mind, "professional, punctual, passionate, persistent, pleasant, personable and positive."My wife Dana and I made the decision to move out of state and had the desire to list and sell our home within a narrow time frame. We interviewed several candidates and selected Anne as our agent. From that moment forward there was no looking back. Anne quickly shifted into high gear getting the selling process underway. We were photographed, listed, marketed and our property entered escrow in a mere 13 days at a price we found acceptable. We can sum up the entire experience with Anne with two additional "P" words and those are "Pleased and Proven”."

– Rob and Dana G.

“We met Anne years ago through a Trulia request. We couldn't have found a better Realtor suited for our needs as first time home buyers. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable and guided us seamlessly throughout the entire process. She was always happy to meet with us to discuss any questions we had, would set up a showing quickly and was always available to us anytime via email, text or phone. Anne provided us with incredible assistance before, during and after our purchase with any issues that arose - even answering questions related to our closing while on vacation or helping us figure out how to initiate our first home warranty service request long after our purchase. We highly recommend Anne for your realty needs. You won't be disappointed.”

– Ashley and James

“My husband and I were looking for a home but we couldn't afford most of San Diego's home prices even at the beginning of this recession. After some searching for a Realtor who was patient and knew we were looking for foreclosures, Anne gladly took us on and was so dedicated to educating herself about foreclosures when she specialized in many higher-end homes. She is the best Realtor and found us the perfect home to start our family. I'm quite surprised she hasn't won the best Realtor of San Diego yet. She will always be our Realtor, as she always has our best interests in mind. She is genuine and listens to what you really want. All Realtors should be like Anne! She is the best ever! From a picky home buyer with a low budget.”

– Amy B

“Anne has been our Realtor in San Diego for the last two years. I cannot say enough on her behalf. She is professional, kind, attentive to details and oh so patient. She has shown us between 30-50 homes (because we are indecisive about what we want). We come in from Colorado and contact her last minute and she has been there for us completely every time...., at least 10 times. As I said, she takes care of every detail and I would add that she has gone the extra mile in all situations. My husband and I would highly recommend her to any and all, as we have total confidence in her ability and performance.”

– Dianne L.

“Anne did a superlative job in helping us buy one house and sell another. The purchase was the culmination of many, many months of assisting us to look for a new home, and involved an emotional home seller with a sought-after property. Anne's professionalism, and professional reputation with the seller's agent, made this deal happen. With our sales, Anne faced a challenging market, but her expertise allowed us to price our house fairly and it sold relatively quickly. Anne is a consummate professional, full of good advice and with attention to both the larger picture and the necessary details.”

– Robin T.

“Anne is very hardworking and showed us homes on any day of the week and at any time. She was extremely knowledgeable about Point Loma and all the different neighborhoods. She was very knowledgeable about the different types of homes in terms of features and benefits and also things that one needs to be aware of as a buyer that may be a problem. Anne is honest and trustworthy, she is 100% accountable for anything that is her responsibility in the closing process. In summary, she is the perfect real estate agent anyone could ask for and we were lucky to have worked with her.”

– Rob M.

“The home buying process for me took almost 2 years and Anne was amazing every step of the way. She was so patient with me and it made me feel very comfortable through the ups and downs. No matter the time of day, she was always there to answer questions and give advice whenever I asked. She went above and beyond for me to help make sure I was getting the best deal possible. Anne’s knowledge and expertise made me feel very confident knowing I purchased the perfect home. I would highly recommend Anne to anyone looking for Real Estate needs. Thanks, Anne!”

– Rob T

“My sister and I want to express our heartfelt appreciation for all of Anne’s helpfulness, efficiency, and cooperation in selling both my mother’s home after her death. It was a stressful time and Anne made the process as easy as it could be. We both want to thank her for all her hard work, excellent service, frequent communication, and dependability. She went above and beyond and we would certainly recommend her services to anyone who is interested in selling or buying a home.”

– Rachel T

“Anne Herrin is an extremely professional, very knowledgeable and personable agent. Her ethical standards are very high. In the sale of our home, her knowledge of the market enabled us to choose a price point that resulted in multiple offers in a short period of time. Several offers were significantly above the asking price and our home ultimately sold for cash at a significant premium. We unreservedly recommend Anne as a very competent and thoroughly knowledgeable realtor.”

– Ron and Lynn R.

“ We want to thank Anne so much for her patience in helping us find our new home. She made sure we were qualified and then in order for us to be ready when just the right home came along, she encouraged us to be organized. We refinanced our first home, when the interest rates were low, in order to have the down payment ready. This made everything go smoothly at a time when bidding wars had started to make it difficult to buy homes. I look forward to working with Anne again.”

– Monica F.

“ Anne is the best agent I have ever worked with. She is very knowledgeable about Point Loma and all the surrounding areas. She always worked with my crazy schedule and she never got frustrated when I wanted to see more homes. We saw over 65 homes. She always gives her honest opinion and was patient when I needed to stop looking at properties because the timing wasn't right. She never pushed me and ended up becoming a friend!”

– Katherine L

“Anne is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with, and we recommend her highly. She is professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and gracious. Anne is a very effective communicator and really knows the real estate business She also proved to have an excellent eye for helping to stage our home. Her experience and professionalism made it easy for us from listing to closure. You couldn’t choose a better agent.”

– Brian ad Sally H.

“Working with Anne Herrin was a pleasure. She listened to our ideas patiently, answered our many questions and helped us sell our home in Point Loma at the price point we desired. Anne is knowledgeable about real estate and specifically, our market is very efficient and also communicates well which is an absolute critical trait. To top it off, Anne is a very warm person who always comes with a smile.”

– Scott and Debbie

“Anne did an exceptional job in helping us sell our Point Loma house. Anne’s professionalism and ability to deal with all of the challenges that came up made this sale happen. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable of the market conditions. If not for her good advice and attention to the necessary details, there is no doubt our house would not have sold so quickly. Thank you Anne!”

– Jill and Frank P.

“Anne helped me and my wife find and purchase a home in San Diego, closing last month. We think she did a very good job, and we were pleased by her efforts and diligence. She was responsive, conscientious, professional, and committed through a long search process including a few transactions that fell through. We would use her services again, and refer her to others.”

– Louie L.

“Anne Herrin is by far the finest Realtor I've ever worked with, knowledgeable, thorough, and dedicated to her clients as she is to Loma Portal's historic homes. She provided care and concern in the selling of my Loma Portal home, which sold in five days, due to her excellent preparation and accurate pricing. Anne is the definition of real estate excellence.”

– Linda B.

“Anne couldn't have been more helpful in my search for my forever home! She really listened to what I wanted in a home and helped me find the perfect match in Liberty Station. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Her knowledge of the real estate market and especially the available properties in Point Loma was great..”

– Joan T.

“Anne is a super agent. She is a delight - always helpful, always on your side, protecting your interests; and in the end, she is organized and she finishes up with a neat folder with copies of everything. She really is the best.”

– Lucy H

“We cannot recommend Anne enough. She seamlessly guided us through the process of selling our home while purchasing another. Because of her, we had an opportunity to purchase our dream home and received an over-asking price on the home we were selling.”

– Cory R.

“ In March of 2021, my husband and I were planning a move from Houston, Texas to San Diego, CA and we were searching for an excellent real estate professional to help us navigate the ultra competitive SD housing market. We had been browsing through many potential agents online when we came across Anne’s picture and profile. It sounds a bit cheesy, but I was immediately drawn to her. I didn’t know a single thing about Anne yet, but just from her photo, I felt she must be a kind-natured, trustworthy, competent, and just all around ‘good person’. I read her bio, which seemed impressive too. So, I decided to reach out to Anne that very afternoon via email. I really didn’t expect a quick response back, simply for the fact that I was a potential, random, out-of-state client who was looking for information and only beginning their search. I know and appreciate how busy real estate professionals are, especially in this market, and I was more than surprised to hear back from Anne within just a short couple of hours. She wanted to set up a time to speak to us so that she could get to know us, get a feel for exactly what our needs were, and help get us on the right track to becoming homeowners. Anne committed to us right away and I immediately felt validated and relieved in having Anne in our corner. After our first FaceTime conversation, Anne stayed in some form of contact with us just about every day throughout the following few months be it by phone call, email, text, or FaceTime. Anne guided us through every aspect of our buying journey and was literally our eyes and ears when viewing homes, as we couldn’t be there to view the homes for ourselves (still being in TX). Anne made sure we were as competitive as we could possibly be as buyers, viewed multiple homes for us, submitted multiple offers on our behalf, coordinated all of our inspections, etc., and once under contract, was able to be at the property for the negotiated repairs during the escrow process and even ensured that some unexpected, minor issues that cropped up after close of escrow were handled with ease. We put our complete trust in Anne and she never disappointed. She made us feel cared about, important, informed and safe throughout the entire process. Anne’s combination of skill, knowledge, and kindness set her apart from any agent I’ve ever worked with (and I’ve worked with a few!). Finally, despite her being a busy, superwoman-agent, we always felt like we were Anne’s only client. We have not only found a wonderful real estate professional, but also a friend in Anne. What more could anyone ask for? Thank you, Anne!”

– Natalie H and Tyler M

I would highly recommend Anne Herrin to represent you as your real estate agent. Anne is professional, yet warm and caring. In our particular transaction, we hit more than the usual roadblocks that needed to be resolved. Anne handled them calmly and with patience and grace. I truly felt that Anne was there for me and guided me they this process with knowledge and integrity. If I had another house to sell in San Diego, I would be using Anne in a heart beat. Thank you very much Anne for being who you are!!”

– Adam D.

“I can't say enough great things about Anne! From first starting to look at properties all the way through closing, she made the process of buying a home stress-free, straightforward, and more fun than I could have imagined. Thank you Anne, for your diligence, professionalism, sound advice, and for being so accommodating throughout the entire process! Anne was the best! So accommodating to our schedule, great advise and management from looking at sites, making and negotiating the offer, helping with the inspection...all the way through closing! I can highly recommend Anne for her very professional skills and services to anyone looking to sell or buy property!.”

– Deby and Haley H

“ Anne is a superb, knowledgeable and very capable broker. She sold our large home within a week after achieving 8 serious bids! Anne also found us the perfect home that suited our current lifestyle and we bought it the following day. My husband Dr. Leslie Penzes and I highly recommend her as "the perfect broker!"”

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Anne to sell our home, and she made the process so easy and smooth. She was patient, very organized and detail-oriented, and just so easy to work with. She took the time to answer every question I had, was super accessible, and made herself available to help prepare our home for photos and open houses. She offered excellent advice and tips and was very hands on, but always respectful of our desires and goals. Our home received multiple offers and we were very happy with the result. Anne is truly a class act, and I would highly recommend her!”

– Audrey N.

“Susan and I considered other realtors, who were all excellent, to sell our parents' home. We decided to work with Anne and are so glad we did. She capably and thoughtfully guided us through the entire process, expertly navigating through some issues that arose outside of our control. Her advice, starting with the listing price, house preparation and staging choices, was impeccable and we feel greatly contributed to the successful outcome of the sale. Everything was managed thoroughly, correctly, and in a timely manner. She was very responsive when we reached out to her and kept us fully informed throughout. We recommend Anne without hesitation.”

– Steven K

“Anne Herrin is an amazing Realtor! She went above and beyond at every turn. I was extremely impressed with her expertise and the level of personalized attention I received. She spent so much time with me it was difficult to believe she also had other clients. We met at the house early on and she was very open, honest and gave great suggestions to get it ready to sell and the Compass Concierge program made it all possible. I was able to borrow money through Compass Concierge to use to fix up the house and stage it for sale. I trusted Anne and followed her recommendations from start to closing and it really paid off. Anne was dedicated to my process, and I had quite a bit of work to do. She was there every step of the way, meeting handymen and painters daily, coordinating repairs, and even offered to help me move out! My house was listed and sold within a week well over the asking price with a 21-day closing! Truly amazing and it was all due to Anne’s attention to detail and assistance. I recommend Anne and would never work with anyone else! She is truly amazing, loves her job and it shows through her professional and hands-on service. Thank you to Anne...I wouldn't be where I am today without her!!.”

“I highly recommend Anne Herrin as the best realtor I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She truly helped when buying my first property in San Diego county in August, 2021. Anne is really professional and has an amazing personality. She will never push or try to convince you when picking your property, instead she will sort through and explain all the options available to you, giving you all the tools to make a confident decision about any potential properties. Anne is also a very responsible realtor, she always answered my calls and texts right away, and was always making herself available to come and look at new available property options with me. She is an honest, responsible realtor who is a true professional in her work. I am very happy that I got to work with her and will always be recommending her as the best realtor in San Diego county!”
