Layne was invaluable during the home buying process - whether it was helping me understand jargon, ushering me through the process or finding me the perfect home. I couldn't have asked for a better agent. She was always accessible and professional. Layne was amazing! Very experienced and knows the area so well!

Probably one of the worst property management companies ever. In particular, in my opinion, Keith Silva needs to find a new job and get the hell out of the industry. I have never come across such a person who could care less about the tenants who live at the property he "manages". I've heard numerous stories about this Keith dude and it fires me to hear what tenants have to go through dealing with this brainless monkey - also my opinion. In my opinion, Comet Realty is way better off getting rid of Keith and hiring someone who will take their clients seriously. Don't forget Keith

I had a great experience with Comet Realty & would highly recommend them when looking for a property management company in SLO. Layne was my property manager for just over 2.5 years and also helped managed us through the property sale process. She was very informative, friendly & thorough when educating my wife & I on our tenant rights and abilities. Not to mention how responsive she was to our needs. She always gave us ample heads up when service appointments were scheduled on the property & communicated to us each step along the way. Not an easy task for anyone involved in a tenant

Comet Realty managed my property for about 18 months. During that time tenants created thousands of dollars of damage to a custom home notably by bringing in an unauthorized puppy which peed all over the carpeting which needed totally replacing. The property manager, Keith Silva, failed to notice the additional dog. In addition he did not adequately manage property, screen tenants thoroughly, nor monitor tradespeople (for example duct tape put on a dryer exhaust pipe which was flagged by the gas company), such that owner had thousands of dollars of additional expenses and additional stress.

Tim is awesome! I highly recommend working with Comet Realty when buying a home. My husband and I moved to San Luis Obispo from Seattle and were familiar with the market (so we thought). Tim sat with us, listened to our wants and expectations, and the next day, we were off looking at home possibilities. After a couple of showings, we narrowed our search and found our beautiful retirement home near our grandchildren, with a low maintenance yard, and within our retirement budget. Thanks Tim.

Words cat describe how much I loved working with Comet Realty! Tim and Hayley were patient, knowledgeable and really understood what we were looking for (even when we didn't). Layne Smith was/is our realtor for life. Her knowledge of the market and commitment to our quest in finding a home was unflappable. Thank you Comet Realty and Layne Smith for helping us find our perfect home!

We went looking for a realtor to meet our unique needs and we found that and so much more. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Comet Realty, Tim, Haley and their staff. Their work is done with honesty, integrity and most importantly, considering your needs first. They are extremely responsive, flexible, patient and always happy to work with you. Whether you are buying, selling or managing a rental property, these are people you can trust that will provide you with exceptional service.
We have now used them to buy and sell our homes, it's so great to find people you can trust.

Tim has been a pleasure to work with in helping us purchase our future retirement home in Los Osos. Tim was responsive yet patient and gave us an honest assessment on whether homes were overpriced and areas to avoid. He's not in it to make a quick sale but really wants his clients to feel they made a great purchase at a fair price. I will definitely use Comet Realty for future purchases and sales.

Hayley Townley is a miracle worker! She sold our home to a cash buyer in less than a week and we got what we wanted. We are out of state and in the middle of moving so when our renter said she was leaving at the end of the month we were overwhelmed. Hayley listed our home on a Monday and sold it the following Friday. She helped us with the cleaning and located a carpet cleaner. She was there to help every step of the way and reduced our stress immediately. She always answered our calls and emails in a very timely manner. We cannot recommend her enough!

We worked with Hayley to rent a house in San Luis Obispo. She was able to show us the property right after we had inquired and answered all of our questions and concerns. Over the next three years she was a pleasure to work with and she always responded to emails in a timely manner! I wish I still lived in SLO so I could rent from Comet Realty again!

Had an overall bad experience renting from this company. Keith was difficult to work with because he always took a while to reply to emails. We had a pretty significant mold problem and it took them a WHILE to act on it. Overall I would not recommend using this company to rent or to manage your property.

I was looking to buy a home in the Pismo Beach, Shell Beach, San Luis Obispo area. Hayley from Comet Realty came highly recommended and SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! She is an expert in her market. She listened to my likes, dislikes, goals, budget, timing etc. We toured 5 - 7 homes and I literally could have purchased the first home she showed me! She is well versed in the school districts, neighborhoods, hospitals, shopping districts etc. We also needed to facilitate a 1031 Exchange and she had all of the expertise in this area as well. I highly recommend Hayley for all of your real estate needs on

Hayley Townley of Comet Realty is amazing. We listed our home in Arroyo Grande with her and purchased our next home in Nipomo with her help. All along the way, Hayley was there for us, giving us advice, answering all questions throughout the process. She is completely respected by other brokers, loan agents, escrow companies, and repair people. Whenever I called someone and said Hayley referred me, they snapped to attention and gave me the BEST service. The whole double move process took six months, during which time Hayley helped us avoid a big mistake, steered us to our new (perfect for us) home

Worked with Comet Realty these past few years on a home we owned. Upon hiring Hayley she completely turned the rental experience around in a positive way! Any questions (by me or the tenants) or problem was taken care of in such a timely matter we were blown away at the professionalism both Hayley and Tim showed us! Recently, we decided to sell our property. Hayley and Madison took on the challenge and got us a very fair price in a short amount of time! We could not be more pleased with their work and appreciate them enough to say I would not use any other Realtor in the
San Luis area!

We worked with Tim and Hayley at Comet Realty to purchase a rental unit when our son started school at Cal Poly a few years ago. They worked with us to understand exactly what we were looking for. More importantly, they used their extensive knowledge of the local San Luis Obispo market and property management experience to guide us into a purchase that has been a solid income generating investment from the first month.
We were so pleased with our experience during the purchase process that we decided to have them handle our property management services on an ongoing basis.
