Word On The Street
Jeremy is your guy if you are looking for not only a realtor to have your best interests in mind, but someone who is willing and able to get the deal done.
His communication and follow through are spot on. Jeremy treats you like family. I would love to work with Jeremy again if ever needed.
I can’t recommend Jeremy enough. I feel like I gained a friend. I feel so blessed to have had Jeremy by my side throughout this process.

If you’re looking for an honest and competent realtor look no further than Jeremy Root. Jeremy is an excellent realtor and a pleasure to work with. He talked me through every step of the process and kept me informed and educated throughout.
Answered all my questions with patience even if it was the 5th time I asked the same question! He was always looking out for my best interests, even if they weren’t the best for his bottom line. He showed me all properties I asked to see, far and wide, as I had no one area I was tied to.
No pressure policy and was always of the mentality of “I’ll do what you are comfortable with.” He genuinely wants to help people get what they are looking for and be happy with their decisions at the end of the day.

We have worked with Jeremy for about two years, and finally, in September 2022, we purchased our first home. In that two years, almost every week or so, we went to see houses on the weekend. I was very picky, but Jeremy had so much patience that he was determined to help me find the right home for as long as it took. We saw many houses with odd layouts. These houses had garage access through a bedroom, had no bathroom in the master bedroom, had a bedroom door opened into a living room, had a tiny space for a refrigerator, or had uneven flooring materials, etc. Other houses were in bad areas, such as next to a freeway or under a bustling flight path. There were many more weird houses that we skipped. However, we made many offers, most of which went up in price in the bidding war. My wife and I felt terrible that we had wasted Jeremy’s time.
However, Jeremy never wanted to give up, and he was always happy to tour another house and adapt to our requirements. He gave us advice and followed up with us, but he was never pushy. For every house we were interested in, Jeremy always went the extra mile to send us a detailed property report, not shown in the MLS, and called the seller’s agent to ask about the roof, plumbing, condition, etc. Not all real estate agents would do that. They said the home inspection and title report would have all the answers. We were lucky to find this home in the area we like to live, and it met all our requirements. Jeremy negotiated with the seller’s agent to get us a $4,300 credit and an extra $300 afterward. We were thrilled with Jeremy’s work and assistance in purchasing this home. We hope Jeremy will continue to help other home buyers as much as he did for us. We highly recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for the next home purchase.

Thank you Jeremy Root for your savvy negotiating and communicating skills. You were able to help me make the right decisions that I was comfortable and confident with. The fact that our relationship was based on friendship first and client/agent second. I was more confident with speaking my mind and as expected you understood my expectations and goals. In the end, we were able to sell the property over the listing price!!!
Jeremy is more than just a professional real estate agent extraordinaire. I first met him at the Miramar College tennis courts. My first impression was wow. He is much quicker and faster than he appears. He was able to chase down and return my near impossible hits with control and determination of a man that won’t stop. From that day forward I told myself, “Jeremy is the man that I want on my team!!!” I had the most fun, competitive, and inspiring sets when we were doubles partners. We may not have won every set, but I did learn that Jeremy would never lose hope. Even when there was a tiny glimmer of hope left, he always knew that we had a chance to pull off an epic comeback. Which we did a number of times. One night I had talked to Jeremy about a rental property that I was thinking about selling. At the time I wasn’t ready to sell. But years later, in December 2021, Jeremy and I took the lessons we learned about each other on the tennis court to the real estate game with the same hope, patience, and determination!!!
Starbucks was our war room, we spent hours discussing and planning the best strategies. Within a few days we received a number of offers. One of the offers was over asking price but we didn’t accept it due to an unforeseen situation, we had to put the listing on pause. After taking care of some business, the property was back on the market in February 2022. Boy!! Were we glad that we waited. With Jeremy’s brilliant marketing campaign, we had generated over 100 showings the first weekend!!! Days later it was back to the war room because we had received over 50 offers!!! Jeremy broke down the offers and we went though each one carefully, honestly, and fairly. There were some hiccups but finally the buyer that agreed to the price and terms made the offer to confidently enter into a 15 day escrow. We were able to close on time.
Therefore, if you’re looking for a tennis partner, Jeremy is there to smash some balls with you! Also, if you’re looking for a friend, Jeremy won’t hesitate to be there for you! Lastly, if you’re looking to buy or sell a home, JEREMY ROOT is the agent that will make your real estate investment dreams come true!

I met Jeremy several years ago, he had left a pamphlet at the door of my house with all of these fun events for our local area and his real estate information which I thought was really neat. I reached out to him to thank him for always doing that on a monthly basis and we kept in touch since that time. When I had to unexpectedly move out during the pandemic he was the first person I thought of that I’d want to work with.
After sending him my ‘I’m serious to buy now’ message it was quite the journey right after. It didn’t even take me a month to find exactly what I needed for me and my 2 kids. He was all in, updating me with every change.
In all honesty he’s one of the best people you can choose to work with. He doesn’t beat around the bush, he’s patient, he’s honest, he’s very attentive and he’s very aggressive with the home buying process. At one point I joked and told him ‘I feel like you’re my therapist through all of this’ because he helped me with more than just understanding the steps of buying a home, he made me aware and helped me through every emotional phase.
You cannot go wrong with picking Jeremy, thank you again for all of your hard work in finding me and my 2 kids the perfect start home. Nothing but love for you!

Jeremy will not just be your agent, he will also be your friend. Right from the beginning, you will understand that Jeremy is on YOUR team. He makes sure to look out for his clients and ensure they are taken care of throughout the entire process of searching, offering, and escrow. It’s very clear that Jeremy knows what he’s doing and is making all the right moves to get his client what they want. Even through the painful process of finding your home, Jeremy is going to get you to your finish line – no matter what that finish line looks like.
My favorite part about working with Jeremy is that he’s much more “real” than what you imagine an agent really is. I will admit I don’t have the best opinion of agents, especially when visiting open houses, but Jeremy is not like the others. He’s much more down to earth and in touch with reality. He doesn’t show up to every open house in a suit and Oakleys putting on the air that he’s some big shot or anything like that. Unlike the mass amount of robotic hot heads in real estate, Jeremy keeps it real and it’s much appreciated. It makes conversations, interactions, and everything just so much more enjoyable. If you’re like me and hate talking to car salesmen and want to avoid the same sorts of interaction with slimy agents, you’ll love working with Jeremy because you’ll get none of that.
Jeremy is also able to mobilize at a moment’s notice. In the current market, some homes don’t last more than one day before accepting an offer. If you have an agent that doesn’t make time for you and isn’t on your team, you may miss your window to see the home and make an offer. But not with Jeremy. There were days during the 6 months in which we were at a home viewing it within 15 minutes of finding the listing. This sort of dedication is worth its weight in gold and will be the difference maker in getting you the home you want.
Working with Jeremy was an absolute pleasure and even after searching for 6 months and putting in 15 offers, I would happily do it all again knowing Jeremy will be on my team.

We used Jeremy to sell our first home, and had a great experience. If there is one word to describe Jeremy’s approach to real estate it would be “proactive”. Jeremy had his eye on the ball throughout the entire process of selling our home.
We felt like we could trust Jeremy and not worry about the details ourselves. The second quality I really appreciated about Jeremy is that he does not come across as an agent who is just out to get his next deal. It was evident from our dealings that Jeremy was intent on making sure he was truly helping us reach our goals. In short, working with
Jeremy is more like working with a friend than a business partner. When dealing with something as personal as your home, that really matters.

We were incredibly pleased with Jeremy as our real estate agent for the sale of our home. If though the house was outside of his usual focus, he was knowledge, professional, attentive, and represented us well throughout the process.
I know he worked very hard to protect us and keep us informed throughout the sale. Shortly after listing our home, we were in escrow, and we had a very smooth escrow and our house sold well above what we were expecting. Jeremy not only helped us successful sell our home, but he also made the whole process fun. We will definitely be utilizing his professional services again!

If you ever need a realtor, Jeremy Root is the absolute BEST. He is not only one of the most genuinely honest and nice people in the world, he is also the best realtor anyone could ask for.
He made a very long and stressful process of selling and leaving our family home an adventure we will never forget🙂 My favorite thing about Jeremy was he ALWAYS kept in touch and kept us informed about what was happening along the process.
He answered all our questions and even if he didn’t have an immediate answer, he kept us informed and followed through. His associates at Windermere were also very professional, efficient, friendly and made the paperwork part of the process extremely easy. Thank you for everything
Mitchell H.
I’ll start by saying that you want Jeremy on your side. Don’t bother wasting any more time deciding on another realtor, you’ve found San Diego’s best!
Jeremy helped my husband and I buy our first house. He was on our side from the start and we couldn’t be happier with his work. He is the kindest, most patient realtor you will find. He made sure everything got done when it needed to and walked us through the whole process. He honestly cares about his clients and was our guard dog when someone else wasn’t doing their part. He answered all of our questions at all hours, day and night. We received status updates and checks throughout the whole buying process.
As soon as anything happened or changed, we would hear about it from him even before we got the emails from the other parties. We appreciate everything Jeremy did for us and will absolutely be working with him again on our next home purchase!
Abby Z.
We could not have found a better realtor than Jeremy Root. His knowledge, and his patience over the the 10 months it took to find and buy a home was invaluable.
He made sure every question was answered and was relentless getting answers and results from sellers and their listing agent. He performed as if he was buying the house himself and that our money was his money.
More than once his knowledge of the real estate contract help to insure out requests and interests were satisfied.
Michael M.
We just moved into our new home yesterday and it’s all thanks to this great man, Jeremy Root! It’s difficult to put into words the fantastic job that Jeremy did these past few months. He was attentive and professional, honest, ethical, and extremely knowledgeable.
After we resumed our home search, post-COVID, Jeremy picked right back up where we left off. After about two dozen tours, multiple offers, counter offers, rejections, negotiations… we finally closed on the most amazing home; the home of our dreams! Honestly, we would not be in our new home without Mr. Root’s attention to detail, hard work and eagerness to get the job done.
Please, if you are looking to buy or sell your home in San Diego, give “your boy Root” a call, you will not regret it!

Jeremy is extremely knowledgeable in buying and selling homes for his clients. His clients satisfaction is his top priority.
You will be in very good hands with Jeremy if you are looking to buy or sell your home!
Carol Z.
Jeremy is a great real estate agent. He recently represented a buyer that I had done the pre-approval for.
Jeremy and the buyer submitted many offer before getting one accepted. Jeremy was super patient on getting the borrower’s offer accepted and in the end, they got a great deal.
I highly recommend working with Jeremy!
Scott D.
I had the pleasure of working with Jeremy as a partner on a transaction where he was the listing agent and handling that side of the transaction. As a lender in the transaction, we are all looking for the same end result and that is to have a win-win transaction that closes on time and is managed very thoroughly so there is no hassle or stress. Jeremy handled the transaction masterfully even with a large amount of offers that were being placed but the thing that stood out (and if you are playing in this market you will know why this is so important) was Jeremy’s attitude and responsiveness.
He was a joy to work with, was very transparent about what he needed and when he needed it by while also responding within very quick time frames so the buying party and our team on the lending side could get what we needed done with no lag in time. We were able to get everything done in record time as a team effort and I know every party to the transaction was satisfied! I am excited to see Jeremy on more transactions to work with him as the listing agent because he truly knows what he is doing.
As a consumer, hiring the right agent to represent you in your sale is a huge necessity, and you cannot go wrong with representation from Jeremy and his team. If you are thinking of listing and need a solid team to work with you to get the best end result, you need to give Jeremy a call!
Akshay P.
I have worked with Jeremy for quite some time on the Title Insurance side of his sale transactions and can recommend him as a professional going above and beyond to help his clients achieve home ownership and sellers get top dollar. He is courteous and knowledgeable of areas all over San Diego. Give Jeremy a call today!
Kim F.
I’m incredibly happy with Jeremy’s work as my buyer’s agent. He knows the real estate contract inside and out, and was able to thoroughly answer all my questions as a first-time home buyer.
Even in this market, he helped me buy a place with my first ever offer, below asking. He made sure that the sellers responded to all our questions and concerns, and ensured a smooth escrow process. I’ll definitely be recommending his services to anyone I know who’s in the market.
Varun P.
This real estate agent makes my jaw drop!
Coming into this as a first time home buyer and investor, I must say Jeremy by far exceeded my expectations. I remember when I couldn’t pre-qualify for a loan, but Jeremy with his hero cape on swooped in and provided me with an incredible lending option. Two of Jeremy’s many great qualities is his responsiveness and no pressure attitude. When we were in escrow, we never missed a deadline and had plenty of time and breathing room throughout, taking away pretty much all the stress.
Many real estate agents pressure you to buy so that they can get their commission, but Jeremy is different. He always gives you all of your options and reminds you that you always have the option to walk away, no matter how far in the process. Jeremy has made my first condo purchase dream come true and I am thankful for how he is: honest, trustworthy, and will get you in that home!!!
Michael P.
Jeremy was the best realtor!!
He was extremely patient with our changing “must have” list as we looked at homes, and he was willing to drop everything to see a showing no matter the time of day.
We eventually found the perfect home thanks to his diligence.
Elisa O.
Jeremy was the listing agent at an open house that we went to. After striking up a really good conversation, we decided that we wanted him as our buyer’s agent to help us find our home. It was a great decision.
Jeremy led us through the offering process and entire escrow process seamlessly and was always available whenever we had questions or just wanted to talk. He is honest and you don’t get any inkling that he is trying to just ‘make a sale’.
He remembers our conversations and is still in touch even after we closed on our home. He is a great friend and resource.
Naomi C.
We worked with Jeremy when buying our first home. He looked in depth into every neighborhood we were interested in and found us our dream home quickly. He then guided us through escrow as seamlessly as possible.
I loved how available he was whenever we had a question. I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for an honest and communicative realtor!
Kursten C.
It is a great pleasure of mine to recommend my listing Real Estate Agent, Jeremy Root. The simple fact that he is a man of his word means the world to me. From beginning to end, Jeremy displayed impeccable professionalism. Jeremy was all over it from the time we spoke to the time he got a sign up to getting pictures and video taken and having the home listed in the MLS.
He is very locally knowledgeable having grown up in Poway and his marketing strategy was aggressive and required hard work. One thing that stood out to me as he, himself, took the time to go door-knocking and invited the neighbors to the open house before our open house. Our home had several well attended open houses with dozens of agents and buyer showings.
His dedication and commitment resulted in achieving multiple offers. Jeremy’s negotiation skills really became evident as he successfully negotiated the sale price, resulting in a higher price than we expected.
Jeremy was very knowledgeable, friendly and used remarkable marketing skills – a joy to work with him. He guided us through the escrow seamlessly. We are so glad we picked Jeremy to be our agent. It is an absolute honor for me to recommend Jeremy as your real estate agent concerning selling your home
Jerry M.
Jeremy is a wonderful realtor. He took our list of “must haves” for a home and helped us find a home we needed that was within our budget.
Anytime I needed him he was available to answer my questions and get what we needed done.
He made the stressful process of buying a home as streamlined as possible. Even after the sale when I needed some things he still was there to take care of getting the information I needed. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home.
Bana W.
Jeremy was great! My husband and I were first time home buyers. Jeremy made us feel very comfortable and confident about in picking the right house for us. We gave him a list of must haves and wants and he came through with options for us right away.
If I had to choose three words to describe our experience with Jeremy they would be: Thorough, Knowledgeable and Expeditious.
I would recommend Jeremy Root to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.

Jeremy ‘s goal is and will always be to provide the highest quality of service. The proof of that is when his own clients proved him testimonials in agreement. Jeremy is truly humbled and honored to have been reviewed and worked with people he now considers family.
