Swell Property

My husband and I decided to sell our home in Encinitas after living here for over 30 years. To say that the thought of moving after all that time was a bit overwhelming is an understatement. Since Criss Crozier sold another house on our street, we decided, after many interviews with other agents, to go with Criss. He is professional, experienced and really knows his business. He always returned our calls promptly and spent many many hours helping us through the process. Dealing with multiple offers on our home brought to light the inexperience, lack of courtesy and knowledge of the other agents. Criss went above and beyond our expectations.

Way beyond what I expected! Erik Gilmer rented me a vacation home during my stay in San Diego… I didn’t really know what to expect and couldn’t believe my eyes when we arrived at the house! It was huge, spacious, clean and had everything we could possibly need and then some. The décor is top not notch with a beautiful outdoor patio. He even checked in on us to see if we needed anything, gave us some tips on beaches to visit, shopping, transportation and restaurants. This house is unbelievably gorgeous and affordable, and within walking distance from the beach! I will definitely tell my friends and be coming back!

My family and I worked with Erik Gilmer at Swell Property for the past 18 months to find the perfect home. We had sold our previous home and were trying to find just the right place to meet the growing needs our family. Specifically, we wanted a nice place in Encinitas with some land for the kids to play, great schools, no mello roos or HOA and it had to fit within our budget.
Erik was completely on top of our needs and wants and only had us look at places that were a good match and within our reach. The reason we chose to work with Erik and Swell Property was because they know the area and the value better than anyone else. Value was a key factor for us when selecting Swell Property. We didn’t want to just find a nice home and at average price… we wanted to find a great property, that our meet our needs, and was a great value. We weren’t an easy customer.
Erik would call us the moment any good property came on the market. Often Erik would go see the property without us even knowing then call us immediately if he felt it was something worth seeing. There were a few homes we put offers on and tried to grab at a good price before we finally found the home we are in now. Erik didn’t let us discouraged if we lost out on a property due to whatever random reason. He was very diligent in making sure we were getting a good value and not just closing a sale and making his commission. Again, this was the big reason we decided to use Erik Gilmer and his team at Swell Property and we obviously chose wisely.
I highly recommend Erik Gilmer and the team at Swell Property. They know the north county San Diego better than anyone else.

Erik Gilmer from Swell Property rented me and my family the apartment on 321 A street in Encinitas. He charged us an $ 85.00 non-​refundable cleaning fee, and then charged us another $ 100.00 from of deposit to clean the carpets which were dirty when we arrived. I didn’t expect the carpet to be perfect given overall (shabby beach house) condition of this property, so I didn’t complain, but to then be charged for the cleaning of an ENTIRE seasons worth of other peoples dirt is just not fair. Needless to say, I will not be doing business with Erik Gilmer again. I suggest if one takes a chance and does business with this person, a walk thru must be performed so the condition can be fully disclosed.
