Alice came highly recommended to me from a friend of mine who had used her to sell their old home as well as buy their new home. I was told that Alice was incredible and went above and beyond, and this turned out to be absolutely true.
When I first reached out to Alice, we needed some funds in order to spruce our house up and make it sellable. The fact that Compass had such a program in place where they would advance a certain amount of funding for this purpose was the solution for our first challenge.
Alice was realistic about what we could get for the house and had clearly done a lot of homework about comps and interest rates, where the market was at right now etc. She has a lot of experience so she knows exactly what shes doing.
The one thing that stands out about Alice the most for me is that she did indeed go far beyond and above what I would expect a realtor to do. She would meet me at Home Depot to help pick out paint colors. She would help the communication between myself and my husband, which sometimes was easier for a third-party to do.
I would recommend Alice so highly there was nothing that disappointed me or that I felt was missing in the process. She had good relationships with other contractors to help us get jobs done in a timely and cost-effective fashion. All in all it was a great experience. Our house went on the market, we got an offer one week later above asking and escrow and closing was smooth. 2023
Alice Greliak was our realtor for the sale of our home in San Diego recently. Alice provided the highest level of service we could have ever imagined! We feel extremely lucky to have found her. Alice was in almost almost daily contact and dispensed invaluable and highly knowledgeable advice and suggestions, ensuring that our house quickly and affordably presented in its best light to potential buyers. She was the most hands-on realtor we have ever met! She was present during all meetings with subcontractors to ensure work was done in a timely and cost-efficient manner. Alice engaged a top notch photographer and videographer to effectively tout our homes attributes, resulting in a favorable and quick sale. Alice is the absolute best in her field, and we unequivocally recommend her! 2023
My wife Marta and I greatly benefitted from Alice's professionalism, dogged determination, and approachable manner. We enjoyed her expertise during a purchase and sale of our home. Why we didn't want to move out of our gorgeous house she found for us, Alice managed to find the right buyer. She understands how to realize maximum value for sellers and buyers. Two amazing feats to her credit: She found us a home in exclusive listing and She hosted the best open house I've ever seen. Furthermore, she navigates the closing process with poise. She is more than a realtor. She is a stalwart ally, advisor, and friend.
Alice is AMAZING!!!! You can really tell she really cares about her clients!! My husband and I are first time homebuyers and we had tons of questions and needed a lot of clarifications and hand holding. Thankfully we were referred to Alice! She was more than just helpful, she was straight forward, honest, and knowledgeable. In today's changing market, it was pretty tough for us to find what we were looking for within our price range, but with Alice's help and unwavering optimism that the perfect home would find us - we did it! Thanks again for all your help!!! 2023
Alice is smart, aggressive in her marketing approach, always listens, maintains great communication, knows what's going on in the market, is a pleasure to deal with at all times, and produced results far above expectations when helping us sell our home. Highly recommend. 2023
When we discovered Alice, my wife and I we were having a terrible experience with another Compass realtor who we had agreed to sell our current house + represent us in the search for a new house. In a nutshell, our other realtor quickly had us list our current house without hardly doing any marketing, had us accept an all cash/low-ball offer and all of the while, was a terrible communicator during the home selling + home hunting process.
Upon meeting Alice, the difference in level of customer service was a day and night difference, to the point that we ended up firing current realtor and switched over to having Alice represent us as our buyer's agent for our new home search.
Upon our first interaction we were immediately impressed by Alice's calm presence and helpfulness in educating us about topics that we hadn't even discussed with our other realtor, such as bridge loans, which we realized had a huge importance in our house hunt, since like a lot of folks selling their house to buy a new one, were 100% dependent on the proceeds of selling our current house to use towards the down payment on our new house.
Alice's level of customer service goes above and beyond. If we called her or texted her, she would always immediately respond and always made us feel that we were her top priority as clients. If we wanted to tour a house, she was always available to come join us and would give us her honest opinions on the pros and cons of all of the houses we were interested in.
Considering that this is a seller's market, Alice was amazingly able to negotiate and get an offer accepted on our dream house within a week of hiring her as our buyer's agent! She did everything in her power to make our offer as competitive as possible, while also protecting our best interests and making sure that our offer was fair and not way above the asking price, which is what a lot of buyer's need to do to get their offers even considered. She is a sweetheart and even was willing to sacrifice some of her commission just to seal the deal on our new house.
Even after our offer was accepted, Alice still stayed involved during the entire escrow process, referring us to contractors for anything that we needed fixed and was in constant contact with our home loan officers to make sure all of our paperwork was submitted on time, scheduled notaries on our behalf and did everything she could do to make the escrow process as hands off for us as possible.
Whether you are looking to buy/sell a house in North County, South County or East County San Diego, we highly recommend using Alice. You will get the best client service around from someone who truly cares about you and your family's best interests.
Long story short, WE LOVE ALICE GRELIAK and are eternally grateful to her!
I cannot say enough about how great Alice was to work with! She helped educate my fianc and I about the process for searching for, and finance our first home purchase. She was extremely personable and helped us narrow down our priorities when considering properties. Also, her experience in San Diego was a big help! 2022
As first time homebuyers during the pandemic we were skeptical that we would find a house that met our needs within our budget. Alice was confident that the right house would pop up and never let us get discouraged. We appreciated her responsiveness and flexibility when it came to scheduling showings, she even went out of her way to basically memorize our baby's napping schedule. Having been through the process, we can't stress the importance of working with a trustworthy professional like Alice. Not only did she help us get the home of our dreams, she educated us every step of the way so we could feel confident we were making the right decisions. Post-purchase Alice has been a huge help, we really trust her referrals and everyone she's recommended has been top-notch. 2020
Amanda & Scott McGimpsey, a seller from El Cajon, CA
My husband and I were lucky enough to have Alice help us not only buy our home in 2018 but then sell the same home for 100k more just two years later. In 2018, we were first time buyers with a limited budget and Alice taught us so much about buying a house and important things to consider. We had a limited budget and kept getting out bid but Alice never gave up on us! Eventually, we placed an offer on a house which had been on the market for months because the sellers were a divorcing couple who refused to coordinate with each other. Other realtors would have given up -- but Alice went to bat for us and fought through all the difficulties of working with the bickering sellers to finally get us a house! It was a no brainer when we went to sell two years later that we would have Alice be our realtor again! We ended up selling for 100k more than we bought it for! We were out of state during the entire sale process and Alice went above and beyond to help us coordinate repairs and be our eyes on the ground. After all our experiences working with Alice, she became more than just a realtor to us -- she became a trusted friend. We plan on staying in touch with Alice for years to come. We ABSOLUTELY recommend Alice to anyone who wants an experienced, caring and friendly realtor! 2020
We just recently closed and had a great experience with Alice. She was knowledgeable about so many things from thinking about the roof, weighing townhome vs house, considerations of location, resale,, how to envision living there (ex. Where your couch may go or patio set up) and the list goes on :). She also has great relationships with others which is helpful. She was there for inspection helping us think about things to consider. She was also candid so we weighed things out and not just go on emotion. She's amazing! Will absolutely use her in the future and would highly recommend. She also has great relationships with various folks which is invaluable. Also she was recommended to me by a friend! 2020
Alice is an excellent, hard-working, experienced realtor and I would highly recommend her to others. I am fortunate that I had such a knowledgeable, fast-acting, professional, and well-connected realtor as her because I closed on purchasing my first home during the COVID-19 pandemic. I was able to buy my dream home in my ideal coastal neighborhood and newly flipped 3br/4ba for under $900k, because of her connections. Even though there were multiple other offers for full-asking price, she knew the selling agent personally and helped me see the property and put in an offer before it even had its first open house. I knew I could count on her to help me push to closing escrow smoothly and successfully even when the pandemic made it difficult, and I was right. She was responsive to answering my calls and texts almost immediately 24/7 (even my middle-of the night texts when I was awake working at the hospital), and collaborated well with my loan officer to help answer my questions as a first time home buyer. She went above-and-beyond to help set up all my home inspections and coordinate with everyone for me (home inspector, solar inspector, ADU inspector, plumbing/sewer inspector, etc), and I appreciated that she went out of her way to make sure everyone always had a mark, gloves, and booties on and spread out 6 ft from each other while on-site at the house. She is detail oriented and has a background working for financial institutions, so she was able to carefully explain each step of the entire purchase/loan process to me. I really felt that she was acting in my best interest to find the best price for what I was looking for in a house, and she contributed part of her commission to my closing costs (since I met her through MissionFed). She made move-in day special by giving me gifts of champagne, cake, flowers, and a cutting-board. She made the whole experience the least stressful it could have possibly been, and if there's anyone I would ask to help build my property portfolio more, it's her. 2020
Ive been in the service industry for over twenty years and have always held myself to a high standard when it comes to providing care, professionalism, knowledge of my service and the pride I take in working hard for the needs of my clients. Alice completely reset the bar for me, and offered a level of care that continues to amaze me.
My wife and I were first-time homebuyers and knew practically nothing about the process. Alice not only guided us through the ins, outs, and options available to us but also made us feel incredibly comfortable in new territory. She was always available to help answer any questions that we may have had and most importantly got to know us, our wants in a home, our hesitations, and our goals.
I would 1000% recommend Alice to any home buyer looking for an agent who takes the stress out of an intrinsically stressful process. She made the entire experience fluid and fun. At no point did we ever feel pressured and if we ever decide to relocate from our beautiful home for some reason, Alice will be the first person we contact to get us into a new one! 2020
Alice was by far the best realtor I have worked with. I have bought and sold 4 homes in the last 10 years with work relocations, and she made this home buying process in California so easy and smooth. Working with Alice allowed me to focus on my new job and not stress about buying our place. She knows the market, the lending process, and has wonderful attention to detail. She caught a couple errors on the contract, and items I would not have noticed in the final inspection. I really enjoyed working with Alice, and am happy to give a recommendation and share my experience with anyone looking to buy or sell a home and work with Alice. She is fantastic! 2019
Alice Greliak is the best realtor I've ever worked with. She provides a premier service from start to finish. She came into our home and gave tips to get top dollar on her first day! She advised us to declutter, stage the house, and do some touch-ups. I had no idea how doing such small improvements would help. Her and her team did a 3D imageing tour, a video tour of our home and the neighborhood, and amazing pictures. Our home got an offer IN FOUR DAYS!!!!! My jaw hit the floor when she called me to let me know the good news. Alice worked her butt off and kept me in the loop the entire process. She really works hard for her clients, and the process could not have gone smoother. TRUST, Alice is the realtor to choose in San Diego County. She is an amazing realtor and kind hearted person in general. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Deciding to work with Alice Greliak and Windermere Homes & Estates was the BEST decision I've ever made regarding real estate. Call Alice!!! 2019
My husband and I were relocated for work from Chicago to San Diego. When we met Alice we went from being terrified to move across the country to excited to start our new chapter in the Golden State. We had pretty lofty expectations for finding a home that would meet our needs in location, style and price. Alices knowledge of the industry and California really make her a force of nature in the business as she found us a home that met all of our expectations in just under a month.
Alice has amazing communication and interpersonal skills. Alice worked day and night, calling and texting both of us, keeping us in constant contact to keep our nerves at ease until she found us a home that was the perfect fit. When we did find our home she helped navigate us through the financials, and made smart negotiations on our behalf that helped us seal the deal to close. Shes a true professional that we would recommend her to anyone moving, especially relocating to a new area. We appreciated Alices patience with us and her positive attitude. She was everything we needed to get us from Chicago to San Diego. We are forever grateful and SO thankful that we were able to work with her. She deserves 5 stars and then some. We couldnt be happier to California our new home and its all thanks to Alice and the work she did. 2019
Alice was great! She was patient with me and gave me amazing guidance with helping me purchase my first home/ condo, & the neighborhoods! She made it easy and painless and helped me understand all the ins and outs. She also advised me on great first time home-buying programs and lenders! She was professional and flexible with my schedule. She made this crazy process easy and fun! Thanks Alice! 2019
To any future or prospective clientWe couldnt have been any happier with Alice. She is awesome! We are out-of-state buyers who were looking to purchase a second home in the San Diego area. We had originally considered the Mission Beach area. However, after telling Alice our needs, she suggested a couple of other areas that she thought would better suit our needs.
Her knowledge of the San Diego area was impressive, and we soon changed our focus to Coronado Island. We loved the area, but after looking at several homes, we werent able to find a home that fit our needs. Some were too small, some were too old, some had ridiculously high HOA fees, but none were just right. Although we didnt find a home we liked that day, it did give us and Alice a better understanding of what we were looking for.
We were leaving town the next day, when we received a call from Alice stating, she found a house that checked all the boxes that just went on the market! We looked at a home and indeed it was everything we were looking forIt was a perfect fit! While we were considering making an offer, another buyer swooped in and the house went under contract. We left town devastated.
Alice told us not to lose hope. She would let the sellers agent know we were interested if the buyer fell through. She checked in with the other agent often over the next couple of weeks. We became resigned to the fact that we were not going to get the house, but we could not find anything we liked as much.
Then we got the call from a cautious Alice saying the house might be back in play! We waited anxiously for the next couple of days, and sure enough, we got a second bite at the apple!
Alice helped us negotiate a fair price offer that was accepted! There were some ups and downs during the inspection period, but Alice worked with us and the seller to make sure all our concerns were addressed. This included meeting several vendors at the property for us, as we could not, as we live out of state.
We finally made it to the finish line after what seemed like a marathon run. Alice was there to turn over the keys and welcome us to our new home! Alice went well above and beyond our expectations. She was part realtor, part appraiser, part home inspector and part therapist! We couldnt have done it without her!
If youre considering buying a home in the San Diego areaCall Alice! During the whole process, we always dealt directly with her; we were never passed off to a team member. She was responsive and returned all calls, texts and emails within an hour or lesseven when she was on vacation.
OMG I am sooo lucky Alice found me. She made my lifetime dream come true. Because of her expertise in the housing market, short sales, quick response and friendly professionalism, she helped me find my dream home, negotiated a great price of the home as well as a fantastic mortgage company. I'm so happy. She is so thoughtful, she even made receiving the keys special, including a welcome home cake, Champaign, gift card and a most beautiful home warming gift. Alice is all that! 2018
We are from San Jose, and when we decided to move to San Diego, we knew it would be a challenge because we knew nothing about the real estate market down here. Although we did some of our own homework, we really needed a local agent who knew the area well and had a lot of experience with the market. Alice easily met and exceeded both of these requirements. She came highly recommended to us from another family who recently worked with her while buying their first home. Alice was good about pointing out possible issues with certain homes we looked at with her. She has an excellent knowledge of home construction and potential defects. And she doesn't hold back on this knowledge and experience to her clients. She is also good about drawing up comparable homes in order to get a sense of how fair the listing prices are. These are qualities not often found in most agents.
Alice was patient and encouraging to us, especially when we changed our minds on a couple homes we were initially interested in. She was obviously sincere in her desire to help us find a home we would ultimately be happy with. She was good about explaining the process of finding and buying a home to us. Although this is not our first home purchase, there were a lot of things about the process we didn't know, or that we had overlooked. Alice made the whole experience go more smoothly for us, and much less stressful than it would have been without her. It definitely helped that she was extremely professional and efficient, but also down to earth. Without her, we would not have been able to purchase the perfect home for us.
We will personally recommend Alice Greliak to any of our friends and family who may decide to move to San Diego county. Thanks Alice, for your hard work! 2018

Alice is my #1 go to agent in Southern California. She always has a great attitude and knows what I'm expecting. I always recommend her to my friends, family and colleagues when they are looking for a Realtor. There is no doubt that Alice is one of the best agents in the Nation and I'm glad to have her on my team. 2013
