Donna took us around to teach us the neighborhoods and housing market and then she found us the house of our dreams and everything could not have gone more smoothly. Thanks Donna!

Donna did an incredible job of finding a wonderful house for my daughter and her 4 children in a very sought after beach community at a price below market. Donna searched and searched and found the potential seller and negotiated a very favorable purchase for my daughter with the seller giving my  daughter first chance at the house at very favorable terms. Donna very competently handled all communications with seller including getting the seller to allow a 30 day escrow extend to about 45 days to allow my daughter to qualify for a loan before giving the house to the next buyer, an investor who was ready to pay more for the house with cash available immediately. Donna was superb and always so easy and enjoyable to work with.

I had a wonderful experience with Donna. I needed to sell my mother’s home & Donna was instrumental in helping me get it ready for sale. She provided helpful referrals & was there to answer my questions along the way. She knew the market and priced the home perfectly so that we had an offer  in less than a week from showing. I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell a property.

Donna Wettstein has been my star realtor on FOUR occasions. She sold my mom's La Costa home; she sold my Encinitas home; she helped me find and buy my darling Oceanside home. After I married, she sold that little Oceanside gem, so that I could move to the Ramona countryside with my new  husband. When buying or selling a home, Donna will eliminate much of the stress by making arrangements for you. She will schedule repairs, inspections, and showings. Donna will communicate with your termite folks, cleaning crew, loan people and so on. She has energy to spare. She get things done, while you are busy working, taking care of your family, and packing. And when your deal closes, Donna will seem like family!

My experience with Donna was fantastic! From the day we started to work together and well after closing, Donna only had my best interest at heart. Donna's knowledge and expertise in the industry was evident as she showed me a variety of homes, listened and saw my reactions, and quickly zoomed  into the perfect locations to meet my personal needs. She negotiated smart terms to land my choice home, and brought in experts to get me to closing. Her high standards for quality also provided me with the extra "personal touches" to make certain everything was perfect. Thanks Donna - you're the only realtor I'd recommend and will rely on you for any future purchases.

Donna was the agent on the sale of my home and the purchase of this home. It really helped to have an experienced agent. Things didn't go smoothly with the sale of my home due to problems with my buyer's loan, however, thanks to Donna's great working relationship with the realtor on this home I was  able to purchase it. Donna kept me up-to-date on everything, followed up with me after the purchase, and was always responsive and quick to follow up. I would definitely recommend her.

Donna was great. She handled the sale perfectly and was there for us in so many ways. We were scared to sell our house but she made it easy and we are grateful for her knowledge of the area and how she handled the transaction

Rancho Bernardo, CA

I met Donna when she sold my parents Linda Vista home and negotiated the purchase of their Rancho Bernardo home. She went above and beyond when the Cedar Fires hit and they had to be evacuated. I was working the fires and she helped my Mom and my wheel chair bound father load and go to safety. When  it was time to sell Mom's home, it seemed fitting to call Donna. She and Glennis helped me evaluate the home's repair and update list ready for sale. She gave me a list of suggested repair and install companies down to do the repairs. She was patient while I turned down a number of what I believed to be low ball offers. She was always available and kept me in the loop.

I highly recommend Donna Wettstein to all buyers and sellers. I interviewed several experienced real estate agents, and Donna’s presentation, plan to promote our listing and responses to my many questions stood her out among the rest. Moreover, unlike the others, based on her detailed market  analysis of comparable properties, she recommended a sales price that was significantly higher than all of the other agents I interviewed. As a result, we sold our home in one week. Donna also went the extra mile to help sell all of the furniture in our home, even though she did not receive any compensation for doing so. In short, Donna Wettstein is a hardworking and honest real estate professional who is a great communicator. She was on top of everything from start to finish and made our selling experience very easy and painless (and this recommendation is coming from a person who is very hard to please). I welcome the opportunity to speak to any buyer or seller who is considering working with Donna Wettstein.

Donna helped me sell and buy our home. She is a top notch professional. She keeps you informed and definitely makes extra efforts to understand exactly what your needs are and meet them. She will go out of her way for you, and is a wonderful advocate. She sold my home in 5 days and found me a home  before it even hit the market! We might not have gotten our dream home had she not went above and beyond what most agents usually do. Donna is amazing and I give her the highest of recommendations!

My experience with Donna was excellent! She knew what I was looking for, even when I wasn't looking, and kept at it for more than a year until she found the perfect home for me. On top of this, she listed my house, sold it in less than a week for over asking price with multiple offers. Donna was extremely involved and attentive throughout the whole process. She could not have been more professional and on top of things. Not to mention that she paid to have my grungy carpet cleaned in the new house. What a breath of fresh air! I cannot recommend Donna highly enough for all your real estate needs. She is the consummate professional!

I am so glad to have Donna as my listing agent to sell my first property, a duplex. Donna was able to sell the property within a short time. Donna is very smart, kind, hardworking, thoughtful and helpful throughout the selling process. Donna has explained and guided me on questions I had, various steps to be taken and numerous paperwork involved. Would have Donna represent me again when I am ready to sell or purchase a property in the future.

Excellent agent and very smooth selling experience.
Donna did a fantastic job selling my Condo. She was very knowledgeable about the current market and was able to quickly find a buyer. She kept me very well informed throughout the process and readily had answers to my question, in addition to having an excellent support team she would call on when we needed very specific information or a legal opinion. Donna did a great job making sure the process went smoothly and quickly. She has my highest recommendation and I would most definitely call her for any real estate needs I may have in the future.

Donna has the ability to strike up a relationship with just about anyone. She’s not afraid to reach out to people and she is definitely a self motivator. I have trusted Donna with the sale of two homes and then the purchase of two homes. She goes out of her way to make sure you are taken care of. I told her what neighborhood I wanted to be on and, with the way the market has been, was resigned to having to compromise on location. Well, silly me of little faith. Of course Donna found me a house in the neighborhood I wanted. She has years of experience and in the real estate market you need a realtor that’s informed, people oriented, self motivated, and aggressive. Donna is that realtor and I highly recommend her.

Donna is an outstanding realtor. We listed my home and we got multiple offers over asking before the week was out. Since I have a lot of pets, she made sure to let the buyers’ realtors know I needed rent back to allow me time to find a new home. She is always looking out for her clients’ best interest and she has an outstanding team backing her up. I highly recommend Donna. She does not disappoint.

My go to agent. Donna has represented me on the purchase and sale side for years.  On my latest transaction in she represented me on the purchase of my personal residence.  We were the first offer submitted and really didn't have high expectations that the Seller would accept given the highly competitive market.  Amazingly they excepted and we were in escrow the next day.  Donna is a total pro when it comes to presenting offers and I always feel she is fighting for me on either side of the transaction.  She always keeps a positive and confident attitude even when issues arise which makes the client feel at ease.  She is simply a pleasure do deal and I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

"Donna did a great job! She was able to find a list of candidate properties within our price range, geography, and preferences and then quickly iterate through them to discover our taste. She was knowledgeable about the housing stock, pricing, history, and desirability of Vista and other parts of San Diego. I feel like we skipped a lot of unnecessary steps by trusting Donna's experience. We live in a different city, so I appreciated her flexibility and responsiveness in all matters. She was accessible via email, text and phone usually within a few hours and never longer then 24. And made time and arrangements for us when we were in San Diego. Donna was great at dealing with sellers, quickly proving bids and counteroffers. We made a few soft offers before settling on the final choice; and Donna was great about negotiating this exploratory process. She was able to negotiate with the final seller on our behalf to get 70k$ off the asking price. There was no confusion or conflict; rather a professional business negotiation driving by analysis and mutual benefit. Everything step was documented and memorialized through DocuSign. But accompanied with a phone call explanation. I really liked that. When it came time to closing on our actual choice, she was very helpful with all the inspections and paperwork. She went above and beyond by digging deeply into the inspections, the neighborhood, and history of the property. Both by looking at public records, and by meticulously surveying the property and adjacent areas as if she were the buyer. She also leveraged her network of vendors to make the process effective. I feel like I didn't do any work in choosing the inspectors, vendors, or insurers. Instead, I focused all my energy on reviewing their reports/proposals and making sure the property was high quality. Pre and post close, Donna was relaxed, knowledgeable, supportive and professional. I would work with her again and would recommend her services."

"In a changing & challenging market, with home prices dropping, Donna was persistant. She was always available to talk to us & was open to our input as well. She scheduled open houses every weekend until the house was sold. She is relentless in her efforts & in caring for her client. We appreciate you, Donna!"

Donna surpasses all of our standards. She was open to our crazy outside-the-box ideas while also good at directing us towards our goal. She was committed to us from the start and we were confident in our home search because of her knowledge of the area and the market. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
