Client Testimonials & Recommendations for Gerri-Lynn Fives

"Gerri-Lynn became a good friend as well as the consummate real estate professional..."

"I could not recommend a person more highly than I can recommend Gerri-Lynn. She was so patient with us as she guided us through the process of purchasing a home in Coronado. Given that we were out of town purchases, she had to manage all aspects of the transaction and kept us informed on nearly a daily basis. She introduced us to the concept of transmitting, signing and exchanging documents on line that made everything so much quicker and simpler. She answered all of our questions in a professional and thorough manner. She became a good friend as well as the consummate real estate professional. I would recommend her to anyone wanting the best in representation and advice."

Bill and Terry Sims

"Gerri-Lynn went out of her way to make sure the move from one home to the other was smooth..."

"I highly recommend anyone that needs to sell or purchase their next home they should use Gerri-Lynn Fives as their realtor. Gerri-Lynn sold our 3 Sandpiper Strand, Coronado home. We also used her in our purchasing of our new home in Fallbrook, CA. Both homes were high value and closed escrow in record time. Gerri-Lynn went out of her way to make sure the move from one home to the other was smooth."

Dave & Liz Enlow

“Gerri-Lynn is diligent, persistent, and very savvy about the local market and the latest technology...”


"I met Gerri-Lynn through her website, when after an exhaustive search of the Eastern seaboard for a second home, my husband and I decided to check into opportunities in coastal California. Gerri-Lynn and I became fast internet friends and, after several househunting trips, she helped us find our dream retirement home - which I'm happy to say we'll be enjoying long before we retire! Gerri-Lynn is diligent, persistent, and very savvy about the local market and the latest technology. Our homebuying process was relatively painless, and considering we did most of our business long-distance, Gerri-Lynn didn't let on how hard she had to work to make it easy on us. She didn't stop at the closing, either. On our first visit to our new place, she was there with goodies for our fridge, and a warm welcome to our new community. She's become a real family friend, and we try to get together whenever we come west to our home away from home"

Jack & Dawn Vresics

"Gerri-Lynn Fives, "Highly Competent and Effective..."

"Gerri-Lynn Fives provided highly competent and effective service in all phases of the successful sale of an undeveloped residential property. She was knowledgeable and successfully overcame numerous challenges involving the property, including a history of property line issues, HOA problems, questions regarding easements and other rights to the use of navigable waterways abutting the property and questions raised by neighboring property owners. She was very dedicated and loyal to us as a client and prompt in responding to all our requests and questions. I highly recommend her."​

“Gerri-Lynn was really amazing through the whole process!..”

"In the beginning of our hunt for a house we decided to go with Gerri-Lynn Fives because of the exceptional reputation she has with the people we know. She not only met our expectations, but surpassed them in every way possible. She was able to get us a house in the neighborhood we were interested in and even found a home that was not on the market but was vacant. I would refer anybody looking to buy a home to her and only her. She was really amazing through the whole process and was even there for moral and mental support to help us buy this first home."

Dmitriy Khvatkov, USN

“All I need to say about Gerri-Lynn is she put me and my needs first!...”

"All I need to say about Gerri-Lynn is she put me and my needs first. I have known her for several years and i knew i could trust her so when i entered the real estate circus she was the first person i thought of. I have a number of other friends who are looking for homes and i have been and will continue to give her the highest recommendation possible. Gerri-Lynn if you are reading this THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. You need to come by and see what we've done!!!"

Joshua T. Adams

"Gerri-Lynn became like family almost immediately. She was suggested to us by a friend, and she lived up to the hype and then some. We worked with her for several months before the perfect home for us came on the market. She let us know the night before it "hit the market", and we were able to see it and make an offer within about 36 hours of the sign going up. She knew exactly what we were looking for (and more importantly: what our budget was) and she found us the perfect home for our family. She would never push anyone into something they didn't love. Gerri-Lynn is is professional, courteous, hard working and last, but certainly not least: fun to be with."​

"Selling and buying a home are exceptionally stressful events in life. It is certainly an amazing feeling to have a professional by your side to guide the process and put your mind at ease. That is what you get with Gerri-Lynn Fives. She is competent, immediately responsive, and determined to get the job done in a manner pleasing to her clients. She is an experienced real estate professional and I felt confident knowing she was handling the details of our transactions.

We had a short time period in which to get our house sold in order to have our offer on a new house accepted. We were unsure if it was even possible. But Gerri-Lynn made it happen with her relentless attitude and determination.

I recommend her without reservation."

informed every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone purchasing or selling a property."

"We used Gerri-Lynn for our first home purchase 14 years ago. It was a no-brainer to go back again this year to both sell our home and buy another. Gerri-Lynn is honest, trustworthy, and truly professional in every respect."

"We worked with Gerri-Lynn on finding and purchasing a home in Coronado Cays. She is extremely knowledgeable of the area, has a great attitude, patient and thorough. We ended up with exactly the right home. She has been very helpful after the purchase in helping us find local expertise in property Management and contractors. She even guided us to some great restaurants in the area. We would highly recommend her."

"Gerri-Lynn is an amazing realtor. From the first moment, we met her we were highly impressed at her professionalism as well as knowledge of the area. Gerri-Lynn presented us with a detailed list of the properties that she would be showing us as well as a list of comps within the area. She was prompt and very organized. When we picked the property that we wished to purchase, Geri-Lynn immediately began the process of negotiation with the seller and was able to get us a great deal. Not only did we get a high-quality realtor from this experience, we gained something much more valuable to us, a true friend. We love Geri-Lynn and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell a property."

"Gerri-Lynn did an outstanding job selling our one bedroom condo in downtown San Diego. We used her services to buy this unit in 2009 and knew that we could trust her to again do a great job in selling the unit. The advice that she gave us was extremely valuable. Her recommendation to keep the list price high, even though the unit did not sell initially, saved us over $10,000. We had suggested a substantial price reduction but she convinced us to lower the price incrementally over a period of weeks. After the first week and a small price reduction, we received the offer that we accepted for very close to the asking price. This impressed me not only because of her shrewd market insight but more so because by keeping the unit on the market longer, she put our interests ahead of hers. While selling my unit at a higher price did slightly raise her commission, she would have likely been better off selling my unit quickly for a low price so that she could focus on serving clients who were looking to make higher value transactions. Gerri-Lynn worked extremely hard and treated the sale of our condo as if it were one of her most valuable listings. Finally, Gerri-Lynn did a great job closing the deal. When the buyer’s lender caused the closing to be delayed by an unreasonable amount of time, Gerri-Lynn recommended that to protect our interests we issue a demand to close to the buyer. Gerri-Lynn’s toughness paid off and within days of taking that action the closing occurred. I highly recommend Gerri-Lynn to anyone who is buying or selling a home in the San Diego area."

"I was new to the Coronado area. Gerri-Lynn guided me all the way. She selected all the listings based upon my needs, showed me several properties, some more than once. I never felt pressured or rushed, instead I felt like she cared that I get the property that I would be satisfied with after the sale. I am very happy with my property thanks to Gerri-Lynn. Also, Gerri-Lynn stayed with us all the way through to the close and afterwards. Any question I had she found the answer to. I would never use anyone else."

"I recently had a wonderful experience with my San Diego property acquisition using Gerri-Lynn Fives as my Realtor. Gerri-Lynn is a total pro - knowledgeable, courteous, professional, understanding, with a unique ability to assist with client's needs and preferences. She has great negotiation skills and worked tirelessly in finding the right property for me. Her experience definitely showed in the successful completion of the complicated purchase I just closed. She knows the San Diego market and has a good pulse on the trends, pricing and advantages and disadvantages of certain properties and locations. I would not hesitate to use her services again in the future - on either side - buying or selling. Thank you, Gerri-Lynn Fives!"

"We found Gerri-Lynn Fives through her website for Coronado homes. She was very fast to respond to our email and questions. She was very accommodating as we came from another state and she cleared her schedule to show us the homes we were interested in. She gave us excellent recommendations for a lender as well as home and pool inspectors which expedited the items we needed before closing. We were very pleased working with Gerri-Lynn and would highly recommend her to anyone who is buying a home in San Diego! She was outstanding and we were very glad we chose her to be our real estate agent!!"

"First time homebuyer here, and I started the process of purchasing around 6 months ago. As the market has slowly been turning around, it has become increasingly competitive for us first-timers to get our foot in the door of home ownership. My narrow criteria didn't help much either- the right home (house), in the right neighborhood (close to the bay), in decent condition, with a yard, all with an FHA entry-level loan approval amount. With all this stacked against us, Gerri-Lynn was up for the task of helping me find my new home. She devoted many weekends to my search, showing me dozens of homes (I can be a bit picky) in different neighborhoods. We even made a few offers, which just didn't stack up against an investor buying with cash (as I said, it's getting competitive). Throughout each potential buy, Gerri-Lynn was vigilant in the pursuit. I know that I didn't need to worry about anything, because she was constantly updating me with information from the seller regarding my offer. In working with her, I learned all about the process of buying, and what to do and what not to do (short sales). When we finally found "the one", she drafted the offer within a couple hours using Docusign (works incredibly). After receiving an accepted offer from the seller, Gerri-Lynn was like a hawk from then on out. We both knew that we weren't going to let this one go, so she kept in close contact with the seller regarding the required repairs, and my lender regarding other necessary items to get the house FHA approved for my loan. She was even able to negotiate down the sales price after they accepted my offer! Escrow closed smoothly with only a minor delay (due to repairs), and now I'm moving in to my new house, thanks to Gerri-Lynn. I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience in working with Gerri-Lynn, and would highly recommend her to others."

"Gerri-Lynn and Brad are the sweetest folks. They helped us find our new home and go through the process of purchasing it. They're very knowledgeable when it comes to real estate and the current market, as well as very patient when it comes to clients like us. Whenever we had questions, they would gladly answer them. We were dealing with a seller that could have made things difficult at closing, but Gerri-Lynn made sure things got done as they should. She's great. I would strongly recommend her services as a realtor to everyone."

"We spoke with two other agents before we met and chose Gerri-Lynn as our realtor, and we absolutely adore her. While the other agents warned us against short sales (most of the market) Gerri-Lynn told us to find a home that we LOVE and she would take care of the rest. And she did. She was patient and caring and always gave us the best advice. We looked at so many homes but Gerri-Lynn always asked us (do you LOVE it....is it your dream home?) She listened to what we said and searched out our wondeful home, pool and all! So we didn't just get our dream home in the exact area we wanted to live, we made some dear new friends. Thank You Gerri-Lynn and Brad. It's been a wonderful year! Bill Wells Gerri-Lynn is at the top of her field! Being active duty military, we didn't have much time to mess around with finding our dream home, but Gerri-Lynns' work ethic and personal initiative made our dream of home ownership come true! Her websites and service are out of this world and we can honestly say that through this transaction we have made a friend for life. Gerri-Lynn has our highest recommendation to any and all who desire a truly top notch realtor! "
