Elaina was exceptional in guiding us through the entire home buying experience. She was patient, knowledgeable and always available to answer our questions. She went above and beyond by constantly following up even after close to ensure that we have all of our checklists complete. She always have our best interest in mind - when making an offer and as well as after to ensure we are truly happy and satisfied. Given her experience in the industry, she helped connect us with trade people needed for us to make the house our home. I highly appreciate that Elaina doesn't always default to the highest amount we could afford when making recommendations on offers to make. She will make an effort to ensure she view the house in person, does the market comparable and then provide her... Show More

Elaina is the ideal agent both for buying and selling. She never pressured us, instead she consistently put things into perspective for us and made sure we made decisions carefully and with full information. She sold our house for over asking and helped us secure our dream house for a price we could manage and within a timeline that worked for us. I cannot recommend Elaina enough. We're so grateful that we met her!

Elaina was the best agent I could have hoped for. She was knowledgeable, empathetic, driven, and communicative. She invested time getting to know me and what type of property and neighborhood best suited me, answered all my questions about the process and associated costs and benefits, and had a team ready and waiting to help me every step of the way. I had an incredibly smooth buying experience, and felt that Elaina advocated and negotiated strongly and fairly on my behalf.

Elaina was amazing throughout our whole home buying experience. This was our first time buying in the area and she was always available to answer any questions we had. She was great at coordinating all of the different inspections and quotes that we needed to have done quickly. When we decided to back out of a house we were under contract on, she was supportive the whole time and guided us through the process. Then when we were ready, she sent us more places to look at and scheduled more tours for us. I’d recommend anyone looking in the San Diego area to work with Elaina!

Elaina was very professional, informative, helpful and available whenever we needed her. She helped us closed our first house in the best terms possible. She took the time to talk to us at nights, weekends and even during a weekend celebration of her family. We couldn’t asked for a better agent from Red Fin or in general to help us complete this deal.

Elaina is a San Diego native and has a good fund of knowledge of the county. We looked at houses from La Jolla to Hillcrest. She not only was there for us at all hours of the day and week but really fought hard for us to get a good deal. She and her team were wonderful, always on time and Elaina herself even came to pick us up at our house to see 5 houses one day. In this tough market, it was so helpful to have a motivated, responsive and knowledgeable agent like Elaina. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any of my friends and family and will definitely use her again for any future real estate deals.

Elaina was rude at times, did not listen to our concerns. She did not send a response to the seller in time and lost our negotiation of $10,000 because of it. I’ve never had a worse experience with any person and I’m halfway certain that she was dealing with selling agent to conflate the price so her commission increased. I’ll be sure to tell everyone how horrible it was and to never use Redfin to purchase a home. Rather then sending our response she would text or call the agent, sue also did the same prior to the initial purchase price counter offer.

As a first time home buyer, the house hunt and the buying process was daunting in this seller's market. Elaina made it very easy for us. With her help, we were able to close on a house with our first offer itself. Starting from the day we placed an offer to the day we closed on the house, she was there at every step. She was able to schedule inspections within very short notice once they were deemed necessary. She is very proactive and has helped me with any concerns I have after closing the house as well.

Elaina is your realtor. She is extremely experienced in the San Diego real estate market, she can put together an offer the same day you see the house, she is always extremely quick to respond via phone, text, and email, and she is truly THERE for her clients. It's not just a business deal for Elaina. You will be in the best hands. She also has an incredible team that works with her to support her buyers and sellers. From the very start, Elaina Nieman had our best interests at heart. We met her after looking for homes with another agent for six months. It had been a rocky six months for us as first-time home buyers in this crazy 2021 housing market. When we met Elaina, we knew it was a perfect match, and she instantly became our new agent. We were used to getting out-bid... Show More

Elaina was an incredible agent that helped me all along the way as a first time home buyer. She was always on my side and looking out for my best interests. I was able to get an incredible home on my second offer in an extremely volatile market, and I couldn't have done it without her. On top of that, Elaina was a joy to work with and made the entire home-buying process as easy as buying a home gets. If you are shopping for an agent, look no further, you have found the Nieman in the haystack.

Elaina is an excellent real estate agent that worked exceptionally hard for us when negotiating for our dream home. We can’t recommend her highly enough!
Writing to highly recommend my real estate agent, Elaina Neiman. I asked for the impossible and somehow she made it happen. I could not be more thrilled with how things went! I let her know what I wanted, which was a lot, on a limited budget, and somehow she was able to make it happen. I now have my dream home on a dream street! She also somehow managed to get my new place below asking, in this crazy COVID market. I can’t believe it! That’s not all. I had extremely tight timelines between the sale of my condo and needing to close on a new place. Then, she not only recommended a great broker but worked with them to help me close 12 days early! I didn’t have to go out and rent storage or have to move all of big furniture multiple times. Saved me a bundle! She also helped with all of the... Show More
Highly recommend Elaina! She can jungle MANY tasks all at once, is very responsive to questions, and can help you with every aspect of buying a house, including referrals for renovations and home upgrades. She's really quick at organizing a lot of moving parts!

Elaina made the process of selling my home and buying another in a timely manner seamless and painless. It's been awhile since I've done a real estate transaction so she did a great job of communicating the process to me and keeping on top of all the required steps along the way. Her years of experience made the process a breeze!

Elaina excelled at getting both of my deals done with an outstanding outcome. I could not be happier!
We are extremely happy about Eliana's service. As a first time home buyers, we are delighted to say that our very first offer got accepted. Can you believe it? Yes, it happened as Eliana did every step right and she is very good at communication. Due to a stroke of luck, Elaina was appointed as our advisor. She aided us in every aspect and we ended up in happy place. We never would have finished the deal and overcome all the obstacles quickly and completely if we were not advised by her. We will highly recommend her to my friends and she is the BEST. Thank you, Elaina!!

Elaina has been my realtor for nine transactions over 11 years. I’m obviously extraordinarily happy with her service and highly recommend her! For the most recent sale, Elaina suggested that we use Redfin's Concierge Service to get my run-down condo renovated and market-ready, which they did in a blazing three weeks and for rock-bottom prices. The renovation was effortless on my part, looked great, substantially boosted the sales price, and I was extremely happy with Elaina’s suggestion! She also identified the right buyer so we didn’t waste time on the market and were in contract in six days. Overall, Elaina in conjunction with Redfin saved me tens of thousands of dollars in reduced agent commission fees and renovation costs; her strategic pricing and buyer negotiations and Redfin's...

I’ve worked with Elaina before multiples times
My husband and I were very fortunate to be matched with Elaina. She guided us through the home-buying process for two homes, and her suggestions were always welcome. I don't think we would have succeeded in winning our dream home without her creativity and knowledge of the process. She is also really fun to work with!
Working with Elaina was great, she was always on top of everything and keeping us in the loop , and successfully negotiated on our behalf to get to a price we considered fair. 5-star experience all-around, definitely will recommend her services to my friends and family.
Elaina walked me through a complicated Estate sale of a home I was renting. She successfully negotiated with a very difficult family that needed to sell. The home had a lot of deferred maintenance that the sellers did not want to address. After much back-and-forth she was able to put together a deal that was good for both sides. She was in constant contact with my lender and escrow to keep everything moving smoothly forward. Elaina was constantly following up with inspectors and repairs that needed to be completed. I had a seamless transaction on this purchase and I am thankful for her help and professionalism. I would highly recommend Elaina for any of your real estate needs.

Elaina Nieman has been my realtor for eight real estate transactions over 11 years. She offers extremely personalized service, instantaneous replies, and strategically thought-out and oftentimes innovative negotiation tactics due to her more than 20 years of experience. Her speed of writing offers is unparalleled, often under one hour. She's like a bespoke realtor -- she'll find and carefully craft solutions for your particular real estate needs. I owe a huge portion of my current happiness to her services!

Great attitude and a pleasure to work with. Always was available this match my busy schedule.
Elaina was the hardest working and most competent agent I’ve ever worked with. She has very successfully guided me through multiple transactions. I like how she takes charge and follows through on everything. She kept me informed throughout all of the financial aspects and inspections. She made sure everything was handled in a timely and professional manner. Elaina previewed my home and made great suggestions on staging and improvements so I could do to get the best offer. We had over 100 groups on the first open house and the house sold immediately. I’m sure her marketing plan was the reason for the multiple offers. I’m looking forward to working with her again.
