Amazing... Awesome... Outstanding... That's Tina Balch; the best real estate agent ever! Tina was referred by a friend and the first time I met her, she was very professional and knowledgeable on what she do. Being a property virgin, she made me understand the process of home-buying with ease. She did an amazing job finding me my dream home in September 2013 and I couldn't do it without her help. If you're looking for a real estate that you can trust, Tina is the only one you need!

Mai C. home buyer

I've been in real estate business for over ten years and had work with many agents before but tina is different, her experience and knowledge in real estate is remarkable. When she listed my condo for sale she took ownership like it's hers and market it. Needless to say she sold my property within a short period of time with above my asking price. I highly recommend Tina whether your buying or selling.

Will G. home buyer

She was great. She brought us to a few houses, took plenty of pictures of the houses, and had them uploaded and sent to us by the evening. She is very knowledgeable about Mira mesa. She made the process go very smoothly.

Jacob M. home buyer

Bambie T. home buyer

Team Balch are the best realtor ever. Thank you so much for finding the perfect house for me and my family. Even when I got upset, they kept cool. Highly recommended

Joanne D. home buyer

My childhood BFF who became our realtor as well. She made home buying for us stress-free or let's just say,less stressful,to not exaggerate things ....she was there with us till the end. Made sure nothing was missed or misunderstood. It's really easy buying a house when somebody is there explaining things every step of the way. I can't imagine getting another realtor other than Tina and her wonderful team. Highly recommended!

Patrick E. home buyer

Joy was wonderful to work with, she went above and beyond the scope of a realtor and made us feel like family! She helped to get us a speedy closing on our home as well as a 30k incentive from our builder. She made buying our first home simple and walked us through every step!

Maria B. home buyer

Joy was our agent when we were in the market for a property early this year. Joy was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process. She always made us a priority, understood our needs and was able to provide valuable insight on the homes themselves as well as the surrounding area. She is very knowledgeable of the San Diego area and moves quickly and swiftly to book showings and write competitive offers. Will highly recommend if you are looking for a realtor.

Abraham S. home buyer

Tina and Joy were better than we could have ever imagined. My husband and I were impressed right from the first meeting and were later further impressed by their knowledge and hard work. They were very professional and easy to contact for even our smallest questions and concerns. They helped us through every step of the home selling process. They made our home sale smooth and worry free. We had offers the first day of our open house. We recommend them to all our family and friends.

Maggie M. home buyer

5 stars means perfect service. And this is what we received from Tina. She put together a team of professionals that was able to go from first meeting to closing in just over 1 month even though the property inspection and appraisal did not go as desired. She immediately began negotiations with the seller resulting in a reduction in selling price AND agreement for all requested repairs. Tina and team immediately respond to all requests and communicate their next action. When decisions needed to be made I was provided with the facts, her perspective and her recommendation. This eased all my concerns throughout the entire process. I would not even consider anyone else.

Jamie B. home buyer

Joy was quick to respond to all of our inquiries by email, text and phone call. She was professional in our interactions but also comfortable to talk to. She gave good insider knowledge about the area and took care of us like we were family. We trusted her insight into the homes we toured. She took a lot of time and care to set up tours and walk through homes with us on many weekends. We appreciate all the work that she did to help us find our new home!

Grace W. home buyer

Buying a home in this current market is CRAZY. It was tough, but we with our amazing realtor Joy G. were tougher! She worked day in & day out to get us our beautiful home. We got our a house within 1 month of looking & we were chosen out of 18 offers on the house! Her personality is bubbly & she is so knowledgeable & professional when need be. We highly recommend Joy & her team for all our realty needs

Nadine B. home buyer

let me start the review by saying that i have not seen more professional real estate team than Tina Balch and her team. they are patient and most helpful when it comes to selling or buying properties for clients. i have worked with this team and especially with Tina on numerous occasions and each time i feel %100 satisfaction.

Yashar M. home seller

She's a winner, knows the market, makes great recommendations, is understanding to what I am willing to do and not do and we netted $40K more than asked on the sell of my home. This is our second time using her and I'm ready to now use the proceeds to buy another property! Thanks Tina!

Pam J. home seller

This is my second home using Team Balch. They did an excellent job staging my house and getting the best value for my house. Joy did an excellent job explaining all the issues I should look for and just understanding the process and brought me to the second home

Jared D. home seller

Tina is the best, pointed us in the right direction... We ended up getting top$ for the house. She made it so smooth. Us living in Atlanta... house in San Diego and Covid. We never once felt like we needed to travel to San Diego. She staged and arranged everything. House sold in a week. Did I mention for top$ 😉
