Adrian Quijano was wonderful in helping us get our La Mesa home sold. He listened to our needs and wants. He went above and beyond with the open houses and helping with staging and the photo shots. We highly recommend Adrian Quijano.
Adrian was a wonderful Agent and we were lucky to be able to work with him. He explained the whole process of buying a house, step by step and answered all of our questions should we have any. He was always just a text away and responded quickly.
First time home buyer here. Adrian is an absolute professional and it was a pleasure to work with him. He is relentless with negotiating and always delivering on what he says. We had over 30k in seller credit and still kept my earnest money deposit. This is one of the many reasons why Adrian is a go to realtor. I can’t appreciate his work and dedication enough for my family and I. Thank you again Adrian and god speed!
We couldn't be happier with how we were treated and worked with Adrian. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. He is honest and hands-on, and he really helped to take the pressure off of us. He made the process very stress free. We never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the "one" and ended up in a bidding war, Adrian walked us through every step of the negotiations. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, strong work ethic, and stress free home buying. Work with Adrian and he’ll help you with anything.
I’m so proud to say my nephew is an incredible realtor. Watching him work, I’ve seen firsthand how much he truly cares about helping people find the perfect home. He doesn’t just show houses—he listens carefully to what his clients want and always goes above and beyond to meet their needs. I’ve seen him stay up late, drive long distances, and handle the smallest details just to make sure everything is perfect. He treats every client like family, and his dedication, patience, and professionalism make him stand out. If you’re looking for someone who will go the extra mile and make the process stress-free, my nephew is the person you need.
Adrian Q has provided great insight about the real estate industry. Highly recommended.
Our experience working with Adrian was absolutely fantastic. We have been through many Real Estate deals, but this experience with Adrian was the smoothest and funnest ever! He went above and beyond our expectations to negotiate on our behalf. His communication style is excellent, he is very easy to talk to and always available through text or phone. It was very obvious that he has a noble character and is committed to truly serving his clients. In addition he has a strong company behind him that supports him with the newest and most effective marketing methods and professional photo shoots and Adrian himself was very creative when it came to hosting the open house. Adrian is very humble and kind, and I am very happy that I listened to my intuition to call him. Needless to say our house selling process took exactly 4 weeks from the day I called him to the closing date. Fatest ever, 0 stress! (At least on our end:) ) We can wholeheartedly say that we would work with Adrian again anytime ! Thank you Adrian and team!
We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Adrian Quijano as our house buying agent. With a very short conversation, he quickly understood our criteria and recommended an off-market house in San Marcos. The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood with a stunning backyard full of fruit trees and a great view of the green hills. Adrian is super friendly and a fantastic negotiator. He got us a price $28k lower than the appraisal estimate and convinced the seller to pay off the solar before closing. The escrow period was smooth and stress-free thanks to him. We highly recommend Adrian for any buying or selling needs!
Adrian was recommended to me by a coworker he helped find a home. Best decision I made was to reach out to him. I knew absolutely nothing about looking for a home or how to buy one. I needed a higher level of care in this process and Adrian really came thru. I am a veteran, at one point I was homeless. I worked hard to get my credit score up. I wanted a home and Adrian helped me achieve my goals. He was receptive to my needs, he explained everything, and walked me thru the process from cradle to grave. I highly recommend him. He is clever, honest and dependable and has great follow-thru.
Adrian and his team are truly a full service real estate organization. He is in the top 1% of realtors in the nation and I can tell why. They handle their clients needs from every step of the transaction from start to finish with A+ service. Adrian cares deeply about all of his clients, he is one of the most genuine down to earth realtors I have ever known in 20 years in this business. He is hard working, yet takes time to understand all of his client’s needs. I highly recommend Adrian and his team. If you want Top Notch service look no further than Adrian.
I had an outstanding experience working with Adrian Quijano in purchasing my new condo in San Diego. From the start, Adrian demonstrated a deep knowledge of the local real estate market, which was crucial given how competitive it is here. He was always very responsive, transparent in his communication, and took the time to answer all of my questions promptly — no matter how big or small.
What really stood out to me was Adrian's negotiation skills. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to secure a great price and save money on closing costs. He was also invaluable in helping me avoid properties that did not meet my needs, and his advice played a key role in getting me into a condo that had multiple offers.
Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better agent. Adrian and his team at Whissel Realty are top-notch, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in the San Diego area!
