Jim Bottrell Team
The Jim Bottrell Team of Ardent Real Estate Services is a real estate company founded by Jim Bottrell, former Major in the USMC. In real estate, just like in the Marine Corps, INTEGRITY, Leadership, Discipline, and a very strong work ethic are critical for obvious reasons. You need somebody you can trust, somebody that will lead you through the process, and somebody that will work hard and smart for you.

You can accept no substitutions. The Bottrell Team is here to serve you. While many agents will promise to sell your home, the reality of the real estate market is that this simply doesn't always happen. Even if the home does eventually sell, the homeowner, many times, ends up with a selling price for less than what they may have been led to believe.

We focus on making sure you have a more educated, more motivated, more confident home buying process. Learn how the home buying process works during an initial consultation where we go over each step in details and answer all of your questions. Get a personalized analysis on your financial situation and learn how you can set yourself up financially to be able to meet your real estate goals.
Distress Sales resulting from bank foreclosures often represent a great way to get a fantastic deal on a home. It's not easy for the average home buyer to find these deals, because you have to keep searching to see when one comes up.

If you're the type of person who recognizes what a great deal some of these properties could represent, you will be interested to know about a new free service which automatically searches out and downloads a current list of all such properties day in and day out.
A new home ownership program allows qualified buyers to buy a home with a very low down payment (in some cases as low as zero). You may have owned a home before and are presently renting, or maybe you are a first time homebuyer and need a way to break into the housing market, but held back because you thought you required $10,000, $20,000 or even more for a down payment.
Although most homes for sale are resales, one out of four homebuyers purchases a new home. Which is better: existing or new? The right answer, of course, is up to you. Both resales and new homes offer advantages. Existing homes are less expensive on average, and are generally closer to, and enjoy the warmth and surroundings of, established neighborhoods.

Jim Bottrell and his team of professionals were phenomenal in selling our home. Jim has a pretty foolproof system in helping you determine the best listing price for your property; one that leads you right to the magic number that generates interest... and interest means offers, and offers mean you're far more likely to get what you were looking to get - I know we did. From there, the follow up was incredible - things got done, and any questions were patiently answered. Just be prepared for things to move quickly, because they are a well oiled machine that know their jobs and move things along

We were referred by family members to, The Jim Bottrell Team, after we had a family event happen and we had to sell our family's property. It made a big difference that we could immediately trust their experience with confidence. We were not in a hurry but we also knew the home needed some work and we had no direction on what to do or what was necessary. With the guidance of The Bottrell Team, they met with us and saved us a lot of money and work on the property that was un-necessary. When we met with the Jim Bottrell Team for the listing presentation, we were so impressed with their knowledge

Angel and her team are fantastic! They are super responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I always felt like I was a priority throughout the process, even as I was just beginning to look. Angel made me feel comfortable with my options and always replied to my many questions in a timely manner. I’m so excited for this new chapter in my life and I’m so glad I found the Bottrell team at this perfect time. Thank you so much Angel for going beyond my expectations and making me feel welcomed. Would highly recommend!

This team is phenomenal. When I thought about purchasing a home I made a goal for it to be in my 30’s but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to purchase a home at 25 mind you I’m not making 6 figures my credit is decent and I have barely any savings but my agent made a way got me in contact with a lender who told me exactly what I need to do to boost my credit scores and give me background knowledge on what would be more ideal for a starter home. I’m so glad I came across this team on Zillow and I’m happy to be closing escrow within the next few weeks!!! Man what a blessing

Unfortunately with everything going on my partner and I are not in the position to purchase a home this year but next year we will be ready.
However, I did hear about this team via Zillow and Angel was of great assistance to get me connected to the people I needed to talk to. She was very straight forward and gave me some details about being a first time home buyer and what steps to take. I am searching for new development single family homes in the North County region of San Diego. Of course within my ideal price range.
The team was able to let me know what steps I should take so that next year

I absolutely loved the support I received from the Jim Bottrell team. Angel encouraged me to start my home search when I wasn’t even mentally prepared to buy a home! I thought I wouldn’t start my search until Spring 2022.She provided exceptional support throughout the home buying experience. Angel helped ease my anxiety and stress during escrow, reminding me why it’s financially feasible to buy home now instead of the near future. ( low interest rates). She sent me listings, answered my questions with voice messages, and connected me with members of the team that had specialized knowledge

We worked with the Bottrell team a few years back when we sold our home in Oceanside to move out of the country with the military. Now we came back state side and we decided purchasing a home in San Diego would be a great investment for our future. And of course, we wanted to use the Bottrell team again, as the experience with them in the past was great. From the beginning, their team leader really heard and understood our needs and was there for us every step of the way. Although it was a tough process, they worked hard for us, negotiating and doing everything in their power to get us the home

Jonathan Hernandez with the Jim Bottrell Team was spectacular! Jonathan went above and beyond to find us a home, show us properties and answer all of our questions along the way. Jonathan is a superb realtor with a deep passion and commitment to his job and clients. He was always available to answer our calls, show us properties, and follow up with listing agents and their potential homes. Him and his team provided us with vital tools that ultimately led to the purchase of our dream home. Jonathan was a vital asset during our home search and we are so fortunate to have found and worked with him
