From the Owners

Thank you for all that you do. In the four transactions to date and the pending purchase we have found you to be most professional, competent and very knowledgeable in all aspects of Real Estate. We know that your word is your bond and you have not let us down. You are straight shooters! In all of the rentals you handle for us as an agent we are always comfortable that whatever transpires it will be handled legally, efficiently within all the tenants of a fiduciary. Your ability to lease properties and keep them occupied within the minimum period of time is uncanny. You are available through contact 24/7 which is a feature that is very difficult to come by these days. It nice to feel that as a client we are not considered only a dollar bill but more like family. 

Regards, Lou and Liz Elfenbaum.



I've had my house in RB as a rental for 27 years now. While my folks were able, they managed it, and then I let the renters manage it and held the rent constant. When they left I was at a loss because I'm almost a thousand miles away. Then, luckily, I found Al. He has taken care of everything! Coordinates repairs, upgrades, communication with the neighbors, renting/leasing, -- in short, everything. With Al (and Carolyn) in charge, I don't worry. That's priceless!

We recently inherited my parent's condominium in Ranch Bernardo and decided to lease it out. We were fortunate to find Watson Realty Inc and have been fully satisfied with their excellent service! They quickly found a reliable renter for us. They have tactfully fielded renter issues and are quick to respond and solve complaints. Our share of the rent is always paid expeditiously and a detailed statement of expenses is provided. We can leave the area with peace of mind knowing our rental is in good hands and that Watson is standing by to serve the renters as well as looking out for our best interest. Without any reservation we highly recommend Watson to handle your rental.

"Watson Realty Inc has been managing our Rancho Bernardo property for over a year. Their service is turn key; they do all the heavy lifting. I have tried to oversee other of our properties in the past and can say from painfully learned experience, quality professional management is the only way to go. Al, his wife and daughter are top drawer, attentive to our needs and treat the property as if it were their own. "

“We have known the Watson’s for over 20 years, and when we decided to explore investment property, they were the natural choice for information. After our purchase, we decided to let them manage it for us. Two years later, we decided to invest in another property, mainly because of the Watson’s performance on the first property. They now manage both properties and do a superb job. We run our own business, and time is at a premium. With their help, we have the ideal investment; no time involved except to cash the cheques. We could not do this without them.” 

Mike M.

After 7 years of doing it own our own, we chose Al Watson to handle our rental property. We were not disappointed. We now have a quality tenant and best of all we got our life back! Someone has to do the dirty work, now it is no longer us.

“Watson Reality Inc has been very responsive to our needs. They screened applicants appropriately and found a great tenant for us in a timely manner. The staff is professional and courteous and quick to respond to our needs whether the request is by telephone or email. I have and will continue to recommend their services.”

I have worked with AL and his staff for over 10 years. I trust them completely with any recommendations and decisions regarding my property. In fact if the truth be known, I never worry about my property because I know Al and the staff are worrying about it! They are simply the best and I would recommend no one else in the San Diego area.

I'm one of the lucky ones. I came to Al Watson Realty first. Al has handled my rental property flawlessly since 1981. In those 25+ years the quality of tenants has been superb and the turnover rate very low. Al runs a worry free operation. In the rental business, problems occur, but they are always handled quickly and efficiently by Al and his staff. Thanks Al for a quarter century of sound advice and professional service. 

Sincerely, Dave B.

 

I've been with Al Watson for more than seventeen years now, and throughout that entire time, have been thoroughly pleased with Al and all the staff at Watson Realty.

It started back in 1989 when I was moving overseas for my first expat assignment.  I contacted Al to manage the rental of my home in Carmel Mountain Ranch, and then, seemingly overnight, I was on a plane to South East Asia.  Al took care of everything.  I had enough headaches at that time getting ready for the move, so not having to worry about the rental of the house was a big relief.

And, as things turn out, I never made it back to San Diego to live, so Al has been managing the property for the entire time.  I'm now living overseas again (and have been for the past eleven years) and Al runs everything like clockwork, communicating by email and sending me monthly financial reports.  There are never any surprises.

I'm sure that if I'd picked a different property manager way back when, I would have sold the house years ago......no one could possibly do as good a job as Al and his crew.

Thank you Al and everyone at Watson Realty!!!

Best regards, 

David C  

Al, I wanted to let you and your office staff know how much I appreciate your hard work and dedication in the rental management of my condo!!! Your OUTSTANDING dedication and COMMITMENT to both my renter and myself
puts my mind at ease to know that everything is being taken care of the right way first. Many people that I talked to are discouraged about renting their
properties because of fear that everything could go wrong, but with your management skills and expertise in this field for well over 30 years I feel confident in my decision to rent and have your management oversee the day to day activities. I would recommend your services to all knowing you would do the same for them.

Regards, 
Mark G

I engaged Al for my first rental property after I struggled to lease it myself. Al was not only able to rent it out within a couple of weeks but has since delivered on all my expectations. Timely checks, prompt attention to repairs and always available at the other end of the email. Should I invest in another property, Al will surely be my property manager. 

Warm regards, 
Anil 

FROM THE TENANTS

I would walk over burning coals for you.

We have been a tenant of Watson Realty since 2003 and we have been very pleased with the service provided. Thank you Al. 

Regards, The Carney's 

I'm happy to recommend the Watson Realty. We have worked with them for several years as "Snowbirds" and have found them to be very professional and helpful.  The properties we rented were first class and Al and ”Scooter" were always there to help us when we needed them.

Dr. Gerald Gleason and Lois Gleason, Milwaukee, WI

Watson Realty has been of tremendous assistance in our search for a quality long-term rental property. My wife was recruited for an executive position with a local firm...."starting immediately".... and Watson Realty found a fully furnished condo for us within an hour of our call. We then decided to buy a home in Rancho Bernardo, and Al was most helpful in this regard, too. In the end, we elected to continue renting....this time a much larger condo for which Watson Realty had coordinated a 100% remodel on behalf of the owner. The entire staff at Watson Realty is responsive to our every need regarding our rental, and I highly recommend their services for your north San Diego County real estate needs.

Jim S., President, Rancho Financial Corporation



I have had a GREAT experience with Watson Realty over the past year. From the moment I stepped into their office until today. I could not be happier. The
service is wonderful. They were so kind and helpful in finding just the right place for me at the right time. Now I am using them to rent another place.  They have always been there whenever I have needed help with anything in my condo. I feel like every time I have called them for whatever reason they always take care of the problem. I will refer them to everyone I know that is looking for a home.

We were referred to Watson Realty Inc before we arrived in the state. They prepared three availabilities for us based on our descriptions. Within the first day we were ready to make a comfortable decision. They had the school zones ready for us, allowing us to easily make the best decision. Now that we're settled, we’ve had 2 minor repairs that were addressed on the same day that we called them in. I would highly recommend Watson Realty to anyone with real estate needs. Their professionalism is a breath of fresh air, and they do business with ease. 

J.W

I would highly recommend Watson Realty as a Management Company if I were in the market to rent my home or condominium. We rented a condo from Watson Realty for a year after we sold our home in Chula Vista. We found them to be very efficient and responsive with any of our repair needs. They also have a large group of repair personnel who do a great job. I would highly recommend them for your rental of purchasing needs.

Sincerely Debi B.

We have the best relationship with Watson Realty that one could ask for. Always professional, always fair, always prompt on any issue of concern.  For management, rental, lease or sale, we would highly recommend Watson Realty, they are the best." 

Sincerely, Don and Renee Carson 

Mr. Watson:
Thanks you for taking care of the mold situation we had in our unit. Thanks for being prompt and, as always, professional. We are impressed by the quality of your staff; your contractors are very kind and great workers.

When something needs to be taken care of, they are immediate in their response. No delays, no haggling, they have the information, they get on it…..and they’re good about it too. They trust you. They treat you well. They’re good to you. It’s nice.

Thank you for taking such good care of my mom. She truly loves the condo and is ever so appreciative of your thoughtfulness and so am I.

HI AL,

“Al and Scooter were by far the most attentive landlords we had while living in San Diego. We will definitely use Watson Reality for our rental needs if and when we return to the area they serve"

Jerry and Lillie Moore 

-We really appreciate all you have done for us in the past - and present for that matter. We find you caring and professional and will be with you for a long time to come. Thanks

Fe & Paul Webster

Watson Realty is more than just a Realty Agent. Al, the manager, his wife and staff are friendly, caring and very dedicated in not only meeting but exceeding their customers’ needs. We were very fortunate to have come across them as our agent in San Diego. They made us feel comfortable and blessed us in many ways. Whenever we needed help or advice with the condo, they were always there and were able to solve problems quickly and professionally, any time of the day or night. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs caring and professional support in relation to renting or buying houses or condos in San Diego.
