So you have decided to sell your property. Before anything else, it is a good idea to sit down and clarify your motivations and draw up a basic time frame for the selling process. Why do you want to sell your property? Do you intend to simply find a larger property, or do you plan on moving to another neighborhood, school district, city or state?

Where do I begin? Marcos and Rick have helped us sell, buy, AND refinance our homes. Working with this dynamic duo is incredible. They have the gifts of communication, professionalism and knowledge. I highly recommend (without hesitation) these two to lead anyone in their housing or financial journey.

I am beyond happy with the service that Marcos and his team provided to us during the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. This was all done during the quarantine for COVID-19. He was always available and provided 100% service. I can’t even put into words how much he made this process less stressful during a stressful time. I would highly recommend him for any real estate needs.

Look no further to meet all your real estate and lending needs!! Villalobos and Solo are absolutely outstanding to have in your corner when going through the stressful process of buying or selling a home. They held our hands from stage one until we walked into our dream home! They answered all of our questions immediately and made sure we knew what was going on throughout the entire process. We can't thank them enough! Phenomenal group of people to work with.

Rick was phenomenal! He is a dedicated, informed realtor who helped us list and sell our house within a few short weeks. His honesty about time-frames, the current market, and the reality of buying and selling a house was comforting and particularly helpful during our buying and selling process. He has an expertise that you can’t beat and he truly wants to make your experience exceptional. He cares about your opinions and values, and your mental state during the process. His periodic check-ins helped us keep things moving along and took some of the stress out of our lives. I would trust him

Marcos, who was referred to me by a neighbor who had utilized him in the past, helped me sell my home in Sabre Springs back in 2015. For starters, he was extremely likable and easy to work with. He was very responsive, answered all of my questions and worked tirelessly to substantiate all of the upgrades we had done on our house when our appraisal came in lower than anticipated. He ultimately negotiated a great selling price for me. My mother used him to refinance her house and loved working with him as well. I would definitely recommend Marcos to anyone buying or selling a home!

We actually interviewed four different agents before choosing Marcos and Rick at Priority Estates Realty. We felt that they were the most in tune with our needs and expectations. Marcos handled most of the process and he listened very carefully to our needs and expectations and they created a marketing plan that quickly turned into the sale of our house. Marcos was very aware of comparative properties and had his finger on the pulse of the market in our specific area. He was able to walk through our house and around our property and clearly define and communicate features that differentiated our

We heard about Rick and Marcos through a family friend. From the first meeting it was a great experience. We started by looking at houses with Rick, then based on the market decided to sell our home first. Rick helped us get our home ready for the market. His suggestions and marketing brought top dollar for our home. With our home in escrow, we found our next home in the neighborhood we wanted and Rick ensured that we got that house! He was always available, and very thorough in everything he did. He gave great advice and answered all our questions. We also did our mortgage through him and Marcos

Marcos and his team have helped me with multiple purchases and refinance procedures over the last 15 or so years. From my first condo, refinancing, the short sale process (when the market crumbled), and the purchase of my current beautiful home.
Marcos is beyond professional compared to other agents that have tried to get my business and that I have encountered when buying and selling. He puts his client first and gives you the honest truth to help you make the best decision for you.
Beyond the help with these listed financial endeavors, he has always been a resource for my family to reach

My husband and I were referred to Marcos from a friend of mine. The minute we walked in to his office he was accommodating and made sure that our girls were taken care of so that we could have a conversation of our wants and needs in a home. I ended finding homes all over San Diego County and Marcos was great and took me to ever single one that he was able to receive responses from. Marcos made sure that he was available whenever I was to be able to show me houses and made extra time for when my husband got off work to go show him the same property. Our contract on the home we put an offer on was

Rick has helped me several times with the refinancing of my house.
He is focused on providing the client the best possible outcome.
I had a very demanding job and he worked around my schedule to secure a prompt and beneficial result.
Rick is knowledgeable and "willing to go the extra mile"...one could hardly ask for anything more.

My house in Poway fell out of escrow twice before Rick Solo took over and quickly closed a deal. It wasn't just that I and my wife trusted Rick and Marcos; the BUYERS trusted him completely. Rick has great interpersonal skills and he knows the real estate market inside and out. And he' and Marcos are a one-stop-shop if you need them to be -- they can help with the escrow, title issues, and financing. I highly recommend Rick and Marcos and will definitely use their services again in the future.

Marcos and Rick are great. We have used them for various refinancing and selling of our home. First, they communicate very well and set expectations from the start - their communication reduces the stress of the process. Further, they are very much partners with you and not just a vendor. They get to know you and your family and really make the process as easy as possible. Highly recommend.

Marcos and Rick were recommended by a former real estate agent, who originally sold us our home. We interviewed several agents, and Marcos and Rick were clearly the most knowledgeable on Poway single family homes, pricing, and marketing. They knew our neighborhood, they understood the market, and made excellent suggestions on what we should do to make our home more competitive, as we wanted to sell quickly. We had multiple offers in less than a week, and Marcos created a comparison spreadsheet and helped us determine the implications of each offer, plus worked around my time zone in another

Marcos and Rick are the perfect team. They are knowledgeable in all aspects of selling and buying homes along with financing. We took their advise and made updates to a few areas of our home and it paid off on the end. We lived in our home for 20 years and found the home of our dreams and once we started the process, for us, it was flawless. They are honest, upfront and know the market!!! Honestly, I recommend this team without hesitation. Thanks again Marcos and Rick.
