When we chose Helaine Botello to be our real estate agent we couldn't have made a better choice. She had great pictures taken and made sure our listing had the most coverage.
Then we were amazed on the 1st day of advertising to have a full price offer and another one on the 2nd day. The whole time she made it easy for us to navigate the paperwork. She was always pleasant and available anytime we needed her. Her knowledge of her profession and friendly manner made it a rewarding experience for us.
Helaine has assisted with the Owned Real Estate appraisal reviews as needed and has always provided a useable product with supporting documentation. She is always willing to assist others as needed as has been evidenced in the past with her project assistance to other FDIC Divisions in D.C. and other Regions. She performs tasks independently without requiring direct supervision is and very dependable.
We have worked with Helaine both as buyers and sellers in San Diego and Riverside counties. Helaine gets the job done. Two questions we always ask are, would we work with this company/person again and would we recommend them to others. With Helaine and diLeone by the Sea Real Estate the answer to both questions is YES.
Ms. Botello wore many hats in resolving evaluation and appraisal review issues on a daily basis, not only working with our resolution office on the west coast but with appraisal and institutional contractors throughout the United States, federal agency employees and the general public as the FDIC Subject Matter Expert. She was a delight to work with and always maintained the highest standards of thoroughness and quality in her work product
Helaine was instrumental in the reconciliation of complex multiple appraisals in a highly professional manner. Her accomplishments in the appraisal field is beyond reproach.
Helaine is the BEST realtor I've ever had--I usually buy a new home every two years, so....10 realtors in the past 20 years. Helaine knows all the ins, outs, ethics and issues of home buying and selling. She dealt, most satisfactorily, with the seller's realtor, as well as inspections, financing, negotiations, etc., for my Oceanside home. Encompassing Southern California, Helaine's talents will be used in my next move.
