It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Rick Ungar. From the day we contacted him to the day we closed he has been nothing but organized, thorough, professional yet still very personable. I found him to be knowledgeable about all aspects of realty that surpassed just the legalities of buying and selling properties. I was consistently impressed by his timeliness and willingness to consistently follow up and respond to inquiries. In any market, but certainly in this current mess of a market it's imperative to work with someone who is an expert, has great work ethic, and also someone you like and trust. Rick is all of those things and more. He has been instrumental at helping us navigate, he has gone above and beyond in all aspects of the transaction, and because of his help I can now call myself a first time home owner. My mother used Rick several years ago and he has kept in touch with us ever since. My entire family already trusts and knows Rick is the best to work with, but I would certainly recommend him to anybody and I sincerely hope that his business flourishes.

"A year and half ago, we started looking for a rental property. At time we have no knowledge and experience to deal with a short sale or bank owned property so we were really worried. Fortunately, we found Rick Ungar, an honest real estate agent. Rick explained how a bank foreclosed property being processed, and handled the entire negotiation/purchase process for us. We got the property we wanted and price is very reasonable. We are so pleased to have Rick as our agent and will highly recommend Rick to all our friends who are also interesting in real estate business."

San Diego home sellers talk about the Ungar Team
"I recently had the pleasure to work with Rick Ungar and his team when I sold my condo. Rick was extremely knowledgable, professional, and accomodating throughout the entire process. Rick kept me informed along the way and was very timely with all modes of communication. Rick taught me a considerable amount about the market and was respectful while doing so. He clearly knows the business and stays on top of trends in the industry and local markets. I would highly recommend Rick as an agent and will definitely request his services in future sales and purchases."
– T.S.
"Rick was wonderful. Easy to deal with always on-time and very helpful throughout the entire process. Highly recommend using his services."
– J.M.
"Rick Ungar listens and responds. He does not try to force buyers into anything; in fact, he counsels buyers, offering thoughts and suggestions on issues to consider about a potential purchase. For example, during negotiations for a new condominium, Rick analyzed the findings of an inspector, worked with the seller's agent to negotiate a reduced price, shared his knowledge of Homeowner Association rules, and discussed the pros and cons of the potential purchase. For weeks, Rick demonstrated patience, compassion, concern and professionalism. He truly represents clients and made our home-buying experience as reassuring and satisfying as it can be. We highly recommend Rick Ungar."
– Jim M.
"I don't live in CA and don't have much house hunting experience. So having an agent with experience and patience was very important to me when I started looking for a house to buy in San Diego. Rick was everything I was looking for in a buyer's agent. He patiently guided me through the rather complicated process and made it easy for me. What most impressed me about Rick is he had my best interest in mind. With his help, I just bought a condo in San Diego, CA."
– P.W.
Through working with Rick for less than 90 days, we started looking at homes, found a home (REO) and closed on it despite the slow pace of the escrow process that was brought on by the bank who owned the property.
When we had a question, Rick would respond by email in less than an hour. Whenever we had a concern, Rick would do whatever was necessary to get the situation solved as quickly as possible. He made sure to copy me into all emails so I knew exactly where we were in the whole process. Great communication.
Rick is a very solid realtor and we will use his services again when we are looking for our next home. He takes his job seriously and does his research to have a good understanding of the current real estate market (which changes monthly). Rick sets realistic expectations for his clients, and then delivers on promises.

San Diego home buyers talk about the Ungar Team
"Rick is very professional, experienced and has lots of knowledge on real estate. You can count on him with any steps you need to go through. I highly recommend Rick to anyone who is planning to purchase a property here in San Diego. He is great!!"
– Yuki M.
Rick Unger is simply the best Realtor we have worked with. Having bought and sold several homes in three states we never anticipated the level of service Rick would provide when we hired him. He is detail oriented - and better yet, was interested in the details that were directly or indirectly beneficial to us. Rick showed dogged perseverance in pursuit of monies, conditions, and service that was either in our best interests or due by terms of contractual agreement with the seller.
The service doesn't stop when you've signed an offer or closed on a home either - Rick bailed us out in a rainstorm when the roof leaked by digging up our home warranty information within minutes of our desperate e-mail!
No task is too great for Rick to tackle. He is flexible, imaginative, and has a tremendous work ethic. We would hire Rick again tomorrow were we suddenly in the market for a new home.
– S.D.
Dear Rick,
I am writing this testimonial letter to you because of the outstanding service that you provided to me during the long process required in my buying a home in San Diego County. Since the home was purchased through a short sale the process took more than two months. The bank holding the previous owner's loan and the current lender required more than 40 documents to complete the deal.
You took the initiative in resolving problems as they arose and kept me appraised in all matters. Although the process took more than two months, it would have taken several more months without your intervention in resolving the hold ups.
You communicated clearly and expeditiously with the bank, the new lender, the seller's agent, the escrow officer and with me in moving things along.
Your extensive knowledge in general real estate procedures and especially regarding the ins and outs of short sale requirements made the process painless to me.
Following the sale you provided me with a CD ROM containing 47 documents encompassing all of the details of the loan. It will be invaluable to me when I prepare my income tax returns at the end of the year.
Thank you for your professional services and for your expert advice in responding to all of the requirements to close my home purchase.
– Sincerely, Robert R.
Once again, with great pleasure, I wish to highly recommend Rick Ungar's Realtor services for anyone purchasing or selling a home in the San Diego area.
We had originally worked with Rick in 2000 when we were making our move from the Seattle area to San Diego. At that time, we had zero contacts in California, and had discovered Rick through a search on the Internet. We were pleasantly surprised! Not only was he easy to communicate with via long-distance, but he become our "caretaker" in our absence once our home was purchased while planning our migration south. He picked up our mail, ensured that our landscaping was looked after, and educated us on all the fine details that were necessary for moving from out-of-state. The home purchase went off without a hitch, and when we sold that home in 2004 to move back east near aging relatives, Rick once again demonstrated his expertise by making our house sale seem effortless.
Fast forward to 2010. After a few icy winters, we decided to return to San Diego. While we opted to purchase this home without the aid of an agent (not recommended!), when it came time to downsize and sell this second home, without a doubt we knew that Rick Ungar was the man to help us! And, we were not disappointed.
Rick provided the excellent service we had come to expect; he attended all showings, managed all the details to perfection, and even drove one night to check on the house, turn on the lights and take care of our dog when an emergency hit.
If you need a trustworthy, dependable, and knowledgeable Realtor in the San Diego area, look no further than Rick Ungar.
– Miriam and Jay Z.
"Rick, thanks again for your help with my family's investments in San Diego. I will never be able to express my gratitude for taking the time and interest in assisting us with these purchases. It has become one of my father's proud accomplishments to own property in America's truly greatest city, San Diego. All this was all possible due to your Personal and Professional Integrity."
– Jose O.
Rick,
It has been quite the journey over the past few months as we shopped around for our new home. I would like to let you know how much Mike and I have appreciated your constant contact and availability during this process. We are very excited to be settling into our new house (well... it's new to us!) and have many new projects lined up.
We want to thank you for always being available to answer questions and provide sage advice with care to not persuade us but enable us to make our own informed decisions. Your years of experience in the San Diego Real Estate market definitely gave us a leg-up. Due to our limited finances, we weren't always the best bid on these properties with multiple offers and lost out many times. This was frustrating and we almost gave up the search altogether. We really appreciate your extra effort preparing all the offers and submitting them each time we found a "good one." You treated us as valuable clients even though our price range was probably much lower than some of your other clients.
The entire process was much less laborious than I would have expected due to your usage of electronic documents and providing us with referrals for Home Inspectors, Insurance and such. Extremely efficient!
I also was quite pleased with the home search program you provide that emailed me daily with new listings that met my personal specifications. I will definitely recommend your real estate services to others in the future.
Thanks for everything and keep in touch!
Sara E.
Dear Rick,
I wanted to write to thank you for the excellent service and professionalism you provided when we listed our home. We were impressed with the level of attention you and your team provided to all aspects of the sale.
Throughout the process, your knowledgeable advice, fast response to our inquiries, and wealth of experience made everything a little easier.
We were pleased with the marketing of the home, including advertising and magazine placements.
You provided excellent feedback on pricing, comparables, and continued to update us with current market information.
Your assistance with showings made it much easier to effectively present the home, and helped minimize disruptions. We appreciated your tolerance of our family obligations, and especially of Josie the dog.
At the same time you were also able to pre-screen buyers and bring in qualified and interested parties.
During the offer process, you made it easy for us to negotiate with efficient forms and agreements, resulting in a better price for the home.
We would whole-heartedly recommend both yourself and your extended team, including your lovely wife, Rickie, and we look forward to working with you again.
Sincerely,
Scott B.
"We contacted Rick only 2 weeks before the bank was scheduled to foreclose on our home. We should have done it sooner but Rick was able to postpone the sale and obtained 4 qualified offers."
– Mr. & Mrs. H
"Working with Rick Ungar has been a real pleasure! We live in Texas. This was our first experience in buying a property for investment in San Diego, California. Needless to say, both I and my wife were very apprehensive in taking this step. We were not sure how we would go about ensuring if we were selecting the right property as investment. Fears about being misled by a real estate agent who would try to make a fast sale were most dominant. We checked out many properties online. Rick would take the trouble and visit the properties and advise us. Many times he would come back and tell us it was not a good investment. We really appreciated the hard work that Rick put in. For anyone looking for properties in San Diego, I would recommend Rick Ungar at Casa Bella Real Estate without any hesitation."
– Mr. and Mrs. S
"Our home has been in the family since the early 1970's and a run of bad luck has put us in danger of losing it to foreclosure. I contacted Rick after I finally realized what he told me was true (that a short sale should be better for our credit and future than a foreclosure). He was able to postpone the foreclosure sale and got us several excellent offers."
– Ms. C
"My wife and I recently purchased a foreclosed home with the assistance of Rick Ungar and the Casa Bella Realty team. What a fantastic experience! After 21 years of naval service and our sixth home purchase,I can honestly say that I have never been more satisfied with a REALTOR®. Rick's absolutely tenacious - his level of engagement and follow through are second to none. I never had to wonder who are where our advocate was. I completely and unhesitatingly recommend you hire him for your next home purchase. Purchasing a foreclosed home was a far more complex experience that I would have anticipated. Rick definitely knew the finer nuances of this process. His insight saved us time, money, and stress. We will eventually purchase a more permanent home here in San Diego. Whenever that time comes, Rick will be my first call."
– Mark K.
"Thank you for helping us find our new California home. After living in Phoenix for thirty-five years, we were ready to join our children in San Diego. We had owned four different homes in Phoenix,so we knew a bit about working with REALTORS®. You have been the best of the best - always available to us - always returning our phone calls promptly. We looked at a lot of homes and condos in different parts of North County and San Diego. I think you were very patient with us through out the hunt. We love our new home and thank you for helping us to find it. You made getting through the maze of paperwork as painless as possible. We would recommend your services to anyone who is shopping for a new home or property. Again many thanks for all your efforts and patience."
– Bruce & Ginny S
"Rick is an exceptional real estate agent. He is a hard working, knowledgeable agent and an outstanding gateway to Rancho Santa Fe. Rick consistently maintains an extremely professional attitude. His response to emails and/or phone calls is always quick and accurate providing the most current and accurate information. The time spent looking at property during my search was well thought out and efficient. Rick went beyond just ensuring that I found the right property. In addition, he also aided in my search for a builder, local school information and finding a loan broker. I would recommend Rick to my friends and family and would use him again in the future without hesitation."
– Jonathan Bernstein, President, Smith+Noble
"I am writing to thank you for the outstanding and professional job you did selling our home. We believe that the reason you were able to produce offers from three qualified buyers in the first forty-five days of your listing is that you took the time to explain those issues to the other agents before scheduling showings and you personally attended those showings to be sure everyone understood the situation. You were also able to provide valuable feedback from the buyers that helped us make the sale."
– Mark Cieslak, San Diego, CA
"We sold our condominium within a few weeks of putting it up on the market with the help of excellent advice from Rick. Closing the sale was fast, smooth and headache-proof. I do not think it could have been done any better."
– Eli R. Estabaya, Yuma, AZ
"We doubt that we would have been successful in competing with another strong offer if you had not represented us. It is unlikely that the seller would have been as receptive to us if another agent presented our situation and offer. Your close relationships with the seller and us and your creativity were instrumental in this endeavor. We bought the house at a very competitive price and favorable terms that we probably would not have enjoyed without your representation. In this case, the tact that you represented both parties and your efforts with our lender were critical to our success and will enable us to close escrow ahead of schedule. We are so excited to move into our home and will heartily recommend you to any of our friends."
– Carlos and Denise Velasco, La Jolla, CA
"Who would have known that we would be listing our home after only 2 years in California? When we knew we would be moving back to Missouri due to John's relocation with Greenlee, we of course thought of you immediately. After all, you had worked with us in finding our home when we originally moved here. We were so pleased with you then, that we called you immediately when we knew we would have to list our home."
"We are both impressed by your knowledge, professionalism, understanding and all done with a sense of humor, which may be the most appreciated of all. Thank you very much Rick for all that you have done and if we ever get transferred back to California, you can be assured you will be the agent we will be contacting."
– John and Millie Crook
"Denise and I wanted to drop you a quick note, to thank you so very much for all of the excellent services provided to us during the process of our relocation to Carmel Valley. From the very beginning, when we heard from you through the Internet, to the first phone call, first meeting, and then the decision to move - then on to the task of finding just the right home... you have been terrific!"
"We especially appreciate your guidance in shepherding us through the entire process -something I have not had to do for many years! Your knowledge, your professionalism, your experience with the specific area, was so helpful. On top of this, to have found the perfect home was more than we could have hoped for! All in all, you served us extremely well, and we sincerely appreciate your unflagging efforts on our behalf. "
– John E. Small, President & CEO, International Resort Management
"Maria and I wanted to take a minute to thank you for your much appreciated efforts in helping us find just the right home in La Jolla. From our first contact with you from one of your web sites, you showed that you were more interested in our interests than your own. You always responded to our inquiries immediately with a sense of urgency that greatly reduced the stress level that can often accompany the purchase of a home."
– Jeff Wolf, Wolf Management Consultants
"Your advice and counsel resulted in the ultimate success of my search. Your practice of quickly returning phone calls was refreshing in today's "voice mail world" as was your close attention to detail. Your transaction coordinator, Diana Pohn, did a masterful job of tracking all the paperwork so I wouldn't need to worry about it. The experience was rewarding and the price we obtained was fair. There were no "bumps in the road" while in escrow, making the process that much more enjoyable. I have already referred several of my friends to you and will continue to do so in the future."
– Jin Guo, San Diego, CA
"We found that your online service and search capabilities were extremely helpful for our house hunting. It would have been difficult or impossible for us to scan so many homes and neighborhoods from across the country without the website access. Once we found the area we liked, we were able to study the available listings and recent comps you provided in detail before making our offer."
"Last but not be least, we have been greatly pleased by your professionalism and knowledge of the San Diego real estate market. We felt very comfortable working with you throughout the process and felt that you treated us with respect as we passed from our "just thinking about it" phase, to actually buying a home and making the cross country move."
– Vince and Sheri Martinelli, Del Mar, CA
"Jennifer & I wanted to write to thank you for the excellent service and professionalism you provided when we listed our home. We were impressed with the level of attention you and your team provided to all aspects of the sale. Throughout the process, your knowledgeable advice, fast response to our inquiries, and wealth of experience made everything a little easier. We would whole heartedly recommend both yourself and your extended team, including your lovely wife, Rickie, and we look forward to working with you again."
