If you ever want to live in downtown San Diego or want to rent your San Diego property, please remember these 2 names Mike Althof and Maureen Hobbs. Without a doubt, they are best secret in San Diego real estate.
While we only own 2 small properties, the service we get from Mike & Maureen is as if we owned most of downtown.
While our first Yelp about them was 2 years ago when we raved about how they continuously kept our property rented for 1-2 year terms and, more importantly, how they handled the move ins and the move outs, the vetting of the candidate, the lease agreement, and the professional way they made clear the Do's and Don't while remaining very likable to our new or former tenants.
This review is about May 30, 2019 when I got a phone call from Maureen stating that our unit was gushing water. Important note: Since I enjoy working with the tenants, I ask our tenants to call me. In this instance the tenant did not and they made a wise decision. Mike was doing his daily jog only 6 blocks away so he stopped what he was doing and stopped by our unit.
Mike took charge and started laying out towels while Maureen began reaching out to her email database of repair men, vendors, and appliance experts.
As a result of Mike, there was no damage to our unit and Maureen had an appliance expert to diagnose the problem without delay........then helped us shop for the solution, a new washer and dryer.
Their names are Mike and Maureen. My wife and I call them our Guardian Angels

I've had the pleasure of dealing with Mike either through the sale or purchase of different properties over the years. He's extremely knowledgeable about the San Diego Real Estate Market, especially the San Diego Downtown area.
During tough sales and escrows, Mike's experience and negotiating skills shine.

Working with Mike is always a pleasure. From beginning to end everything is handled with speed and professionalism. Especially during transactions that are more difficult he comes out like a shining star. I couldn't imagine using anybody else for my real estate needs. I would also like to give a heads up to Maureen Hobbs who is a pleasure to work with all the time. She is a true and dependable partner of Mike's.

We have known each other for more than ten years with many rental vacancies, and Mike has never let us down. He always finds high quality tenants and makes every transition smooth, as well as works very hard making sure everything on the property is perfect. We truly appreciate his work, his attitude, and his professionalism. It’s a relief knowing how Mike applies himself to helping us, and get the job done so well. Thanks, Mike, for everything you do.
