    "My husband and I had been talking for awhile now about buying a home. With my husband being an active duty Marine for the past 17 years we were not always sure if we would be remaining here or if we would be PCS’d to another base. We reached out to The Jim Bottrell Team and they set up an appointment to meet with us face to face so that they could go over the home buying process and what it entails. After our meeting we knew that we had to stop renting and invest in our future! They went over the advantages of owning VS renting with us as well as what to expect along the way throughout a normal escrow. I was very surprised to find out everything that is involved in buying a home! I don’t think we could of done it without their support and knowledge of the market. I would without a doubt recommend The Jim Bottrell Team for any of your Real Estate needs and wouldn’t hesitate referring them to my family and friends."

    "My husband and I decided to sell our home in Norco and purchase a home in Perris. This home would be our forever home, and we wanted to be closer to our friends and family.

    "My husband and I decided to sell our home in Norco and purchase a home in Perris. This home would be our forever home, and we wanted to be closer to our friends and family. Selling and buying can be a complicated and stressful process, so we knew it was important to have an experienced team by our side. The Bottrell Team stepped in and got this monster of a job done! We listed our home and simultaneously began searching for a home in Perris. We quickly received an offer on our home in Norco, and at the same time our agent found us our dream home in Perris. Not only did The Bottrell Team find our dream home, but they acted quickly and negotiated to get our offer accepted. Due to their superior negotiating skills, we were able to open escrow on both properties at the same time. The Bottrell Team worked diligently throughout both transactions to ensure a successful close. No corner was left unturned. They went above and beyond every step of the way to make sure our transition was as seamless as possible. Communication was top notch and available any day, at any time of day. They truly care for the people they serve and I would absolutely recommend their services to all my friends and family. "

They helped me understand how that would work and what the best options to accomplish my goal would be. From day one my experience with the Bottrell Team was above and beyond anything I expected. They were completely honest about all aspects of the transaction. They were always fully prepared in every step of each process. If anything ever came up, I could call Jim at any time of the day and he would get back to me immediately. When something had come up with the paperwork I completely trusted the their team to take care of it and they always did. Throughout the time I owned the house they even found me great contractors when I needed them and even personally helped me fix some issues around the house when we first purchased. Their knowledge of construction was extremely impressive. Overall their team's knowledge of the market and each process was highly impressive. Negotiations were always smooth and painless and came out better than I expected. I have always highly recommended the Bottrell Team and will continue to do so."

    "I absolutely loved the support I received from the Jim Bottrell team. Angel encouraged me to start my home search when I wasn’t even mentally prepared to buy a home! I thought I wouldn’t start my search until Spring 2022. She provided exceptional support throughout the home buying experience. Angel helped ease my anxiety and stress during escrow, reminding me why it’s financially feasible to buy home now instead of the near future. She sent me listings, answered my questions with voice messages, and connected me with members of the team that had specialized knowledge or roles. Angel was extremely informative, I know she will be an extraordinary real estate agent one day. Also I appreciated their authenticity and honesty throughout the home viewing process and final steps of home buying. They were extremely accommodating. And worked around my crazy availability due to the teacher shortage this school year. My husband love our first home! For us the entire process completed in 5 weeks!"

Now we came back state side and we decided purchasing a home in San Diego would be a great investment for our future. And of course, we wanted to use the Bottrell team again, as the experience with them in the past was great. From the beginning, their team leader really heard and understood our needs and was there for us every step of the way. Although it was a tough process, they worked hard for us, negotiating and doing everything in their power to get us the home we found and loved. They were very involved and kept us informed throughout the process all the way to closing on our dream home! We cannot thank you enough! We will absolutely recommend the Bottrell Team to anyone we know that’s looking to buy or sell a home! The house is amazing and we couldn't have done it without you!"

I had worked with several different agents in the past, and it always seemed like the agents never really cared about your well-being, and they just wanted to make as much money as they could. When I bought my home, our agent was able to negotiate down in price. Yes, down, even in this market! I was so excited when I got the news that our offer was accepted. Thanks to a wonderful team and the best experience."

We found The Bottrell Team from a mailer, and since Jim Bottrell was a marine himself, we decided to work with his team. They did not disappoint us as far as work ethic, integrity, and overall accountability during our search for the perfect home. We had more than our fair share of obstacles during that time, but they were very patient with us and explained the process at each step along the way. We couldn’t have had a better experience overall. The Bottrell Team definitely took the time to make sure we were comfortable during every step of the escrow and negotiated all of our closing costs! We are very thankful to have found such a great home with the help of Jim Bottrell’s Team."

    "Our personal experience with Jim Bottrell and his team was better than we ever could have expected. Jim and his entire team treated us like we were family. We were under a lot of pressure to find a home within a very short time frame. The Bottrell team was extremely intuitive and tapped into all of our wants and needs relieving and accomplished all of this in a timely manner relieving us from all stress and anxiety. We were looking for a decent-sized square footage two-story pool home with at least 4 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, and a 3-car garage, all within a short period of time. Bottom line, Jim found us exactly what we were looking for. Even after we bought the house, the Bottrell team stayed in contact with us to make sure that everything was okay and that all our needs were met. Jim Bottrell is a good person with a good heart. We would recommend Jim and his team to anyone who is seriously seeking a professional real estate agent."

    "We couldn't be more pleased with our choice of real estate teams. When we first met with the Bottrell Team, they demonstrated tremendous value, superior market knowledge, and a genuine care and concern for finding the perfect home for us. Prior to our purchase, we were living month to month in a small apartment, consistently throwing away money on a monthly basis. Our agent took a great deal of time educating us on the advantages of owning a home and the long-term financial benefits associated. We couldn’t believe that we were able to afford the type of home we bought for essentially the same monthly cost that we were throwing away each month on rent. We felt very comfortable with our agent, their entire team, and the many written promises and guarantees they provided. We couldn't have asked for better representation and experience. Our agent was incredibly patient and understanding throughout the entire process, showing us as many homes as we needed to see before we found the perfect fit. The Bottrell Team not only helped us with securing our financing with their preferred lender, but they were also able to negotiate closing cost assistance for us. Once we found the perfect home, our agent was able to negotiate a great price and get us into our home within 21 days. We now own a beautiful home, and my wife now has the backyard of her dreams. We couldn't be happier with the choice we made with the Bottrell Team, and we look forward to creating countless memories that we can enjoy for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much!"

Heather really took the time to understand what it was we were looking for and helped us have a game plan to move forward, along with help from their preferred lender. The Bottrell Team took the time to listen; their communication is great! Once we met again to view homes, we saw exactly what we were looking for! We decided to make an offer on one of the homes, and The Bottrell Team did an amazing job at getting our offer accepted with all the terms we needed. The Bottrell Team made us feel very comfortable with knowing we were making a great choice! We were impressed with all the information given to us and the professionalism of The Bottrell Team. We had such a smooth, stress-free home-buying experience. We will recommend The Bottrell Team to anyone who’s looking to buy! They really are great people and agents! Heather went above and beyond our expectations to make our home-buying experience so smooth."

When it came time to move to Arizona, my choice to who to sell my home was obvious…call Jim. Throughout the process Jim always told me what was going to happen and why. So there was never a time when I was wondering, “what just happened?”. The marketing worked brilliantly, the offers for my home poured in, and the advice on how to handle them in order to not only get the price I wanted but the terms I wanted too kept pouring in. I felt like it was impossible to make a mistake with Jim and his team on my side. Needless to say, the process went great, my home sold on time and for the price I wanted, and I am not living my best life in Arizona. I would highly recommend the Jim Bottrell Real Estate Team to anybody looking to move."

She never made me feel rushed and was always willing to answer my questions and help me understand my options. When it came time to negotiate, I felt confident knowing Donna was representing us and had our best interests in mind. Donna made the entire home-buying process much easier and helped me find the right fit. I would definitely recommend Donna Armosino and The Jim Bottrell Team, and I would absolutely use Donna for all of my future real estate transactions!"

I was looking for something that truly checked all of my boxes, so I knew I didn’t want to rush or settle.

At the same time, she helped me sell my previous home and made sure we were able to accomplish the terms and outcome I was looking for on that side as well.

She was always happy to answer our questions, show us another home, and help us think through every decision. Most recently, she helped us get an offer accepted on a home we’re so excited about, and we couldn’t be more grateful. What really sets Donna apart, though, is how much she genuinely cares about her clients beyond just the transaction. She even went out of her way to stop by with a birthday present for my grandma, which meant so much to our family. Donna truly goes above and beyond. She is thoughtful, responsive, professional, and such a pleasure to work with.

    "I had the pleasure of working with Sayed Sadat in Aug/Sept 2026. He exceeded my expectations every step of the way. From the initial call to the close of the sale Sayed made me feel like I was his #1 priority. Sayed is prompt, intelligent, experienced and highly motivated. I was working on finding a home across the country. Sayed made it happen. We communicated multiple times daily regardless of the 2 hour time zone difference. We collectively identified and short listed homes as targets. Sayed then walked those homes as my eyes and ears. He sent me videos/photos of homes, live streamed homes until we found the one. Sayed talked to the seller's agent in detail to understand the sellers goals and needs in conjunction with my wants and needs. Sayed then spoke in depth with my listing agent across the country and my lender to ensure all moving pieces were working in synch. Are you ready for this? Sayed coordinated a 3 way call with the agent selling my house, my lender and the seller's agent of the house I wanted! They covered my credit worthiness, financial details, my home sale contingency in detail and why I am the best qualified buyer for the home.That in my opinion, put our offer in the top spot and ultimately my offer was accepted. Sayed is extremely good at his job. I have worked with 3 agents on 3 different homes I've bought and sold and Sayed is incredible.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sayed for your buying or selling needs. Pick up the phone, you'll be glad you did."

Stefanie is thoughtful, kind, and unbelievably detail-oriented, and it's clear she's genuinely committed to seeing her clients succeed. She communicated with us constantly, negotiated hard so we always knew exactly what we were getting into, and helped us navigate every complex twist that came up during the purchase. She was also relentless getting our El Cajon home sold in a really tough market. We felt taken care of every step of the way and ended up in a home we love.
