Testimonials
"We worked with Michael on the sale of one home and purchase of another concurrently and were awed by how smoothly the transactions went. He is incredibly well-organized, an exceptional marketer, and a truly remarkable negotiator. He was quite an innovator in regard to his efforts. We continue to recommend him to others, knowing that they will find him highly professional as well as a true pleasure with whom to work."
- S.M."Michael Citrin has been my professional real estate representative for the past 20 years when I moved to North County, San Diego. He has represented me in all of my homes - both sales and purchases, and he has also represented my family, friends, and colleagues. Michael is exceptionally knowledgeable with regards to all areas of real estate, including related ancillary industries and I fully trust him. He is a trusted advisor and now a dear friend."
- M.K."Experience shows! Michael's extensive knowledge of his craft and many years of experience are the best of the best. White glove experience from start to finish. Thank you, Michael, for all your hard work!"

I called Michael, we met, and instantly I knew he was the one for me. Recent sales at my small complex clearly said the asking price should be $595,000, but in looking at what was available in the same market, similar properties all had higher asking prices. We listed the home at $895,000 and it was sold within the week for $860,000, setting a new record for my complex! Plus Michael’s marketing was creative and perfect!
A number of years later I was going through a divorce and needed to sell our townhome in Solana Beach. I knew a number of real estate agents whom I respected, and honestly, I had forgotten about Michael. I interviewed several who were all perfectly fine and then asked a friend who had numerous contacts in the real estate industry and she said I should call Michael Citrin. Besides saying, “good idea, I liked him,” I also asked why she recommended him. She said that at office meetings he was by far the most knowledgeable about every single home that was discussed.
"I first encountered Michael when he brought potential buyers to a home I owned in Rancho Santa Fe. The home at been on the market for almost 2 years at that point and Michael’s buyers ultimately made an offer that we accepted. Even though he represented our buyers and we had our own agent, it was a pleasure to watch his knowledge and professionalism on display as the transaction moved toward a successful closing.

I would still be using Michael today if I hadn’t subsequently gotten a real estate license myself!"
"To Whom it may concern:
I can't say enough about Michaels professionalism, true caring nature, and extensive knowledge/connections. Throughout our home purchase experience, he embodied all these qualities, not just in the real estate transaction, but in the entire transaction to our new home and the RSF community. We chose to work with Michael after meeting him at a showing of another property and immediately noted his style of communication as a good indication of the level of commitment he would provide.
Throughout the home buying process, Michael was extremely responsive and thoughtful in his recommendations to us. We've worked with a lot of realtors, and Michael is the most service oriented realtor we have worked with.

"If you are looking for a knowledgeable, well respected agent, use Michael Citrin. I've bought and sold homes in North county San Diego, working 6 different transactions with Michael. Each one was treated in the same professional, prompt manner. Having a knowledgeable, well respected agent makes buying and selling easier for you, I have confidence knowing that my best interests all always in the forefront. During a buying transaction, the seller made exterior modifications after the agreement was entered into. I was really upset, but Michael had all issues resolved in short order. All other transactions have been easy and stress free . I know I will use him again...and highly suggest you do too."
- B.E."I can't recommend Michael Citrin strongly enough. A friend recommended him to me and said she had used his services on 5 projects. My previous experience with realtors was extremely negative - most of the agents just listed the home on the multiple listing service and waited for showing requests. In one case, an agent failed to show the home for one year, and then presented a contingent offer from a fellow realtor. When I didn't accept that offer and found another agent, the original listing agent tried to derail the sale by alleging misrepresentation by the new agent.
Michael has redefined what a good realtor is for me. From the first to the last aspects, Michael ceaselessly promoted our listing among his many friends and colleagues. For the first time, I had two offers on a house, and in only 2 months!. Every other time I sold a home the sale took at least 1 year. His assistance has extended far beyond the sale of the home and included quickly finding a rental for us and helping us to settle in. We plan to build a new custom home and can't wait to work with Michaelagain to find the lot for our dream home."
