Betsy Heller

Betsy did such an incredible job in helping us buy our home. Daily communication with her, prompt responses, her market knowledge and professionalism made our experience a breeze. She genuinely had our best interest at heart and truly cared about us as clients. Couldn’t recommend Betsy highly enough.

Betsy Heller was a huge help when my husband and I were looking g for our first home together. She helped us find home that met our know criteria and things we didn’t even know we were looking for! She kept us greatly informed throughout the entire process about what to expect and how things were going g with potential sellers. Daily communication with her was great and I. The end she found us the perfect home. Thank you so much Betsy!

I typically don’t leave reviews, but this experience left a lasting impression not because I’m still upset, but because it revealed so much about how some people treat others when they think there’s nothing to gain. When I was in my early twenties, my roommate and I were in a tight spot. Our lease had ended and we needed to find a new place quickly. Betsy was the renter’s agent for a unit we were genuinely excited about. She told us the unit was available ASAP and that we were the only people who had submitted an application. At first she was warm, responsive, and helpful. She answered questions, walked us through the space, and encouraged us to apply. We pulled everything together quickly, submitted all the paperwork, paid the application fee ($225) and she told us she’d be in touch asap. We were good applicants with stable income and excellent credit and according to her, we were the only applicants. She told us we would hear back either by the end of the day or the following day, so when Betsy went silent, we were simply confused. We did everything right and expected at least basic communication in return. She never followed up. I sent her emails, voice messages and text messages, all of which she ignored. No update, no acknowledgment, just silence. Out of desperation, we called from another number to try to reach her. She picked up, my roommate asked about the property again and she said “Ugh, is this Stephanie?” and hung up on my roommate. After that, she was completely unreachable. What became clear and what’s stuck with me is that Betsy treated us like we stopped mattering the moment she no longer saw us as useful. Her kindness disappeared the second she decided we didn’t offer her anything in return. It wasn’t just unprofessional, it was revealing. She had no issue wasting our time, ghosting us without a word, and treating us with open disrespect when we tried to follow up. We were respectful, communicative, and serious applicants. But we were young. And looking back, it felt like she didn’t think we deserved even the basic courtesy of a response. That kind of behavior may not leave a paper trail, but it says everything about someone’s character. Now, as a property owner myself, I know this industry is about far more than just closing deals. Most of these agents can sell a house, but it takes integrity, respect, and genuine care to truly represent clients. Betsy lacks all of that. Her behavior showed a complete disregard for people’s time and dignity. Based on my experience, I would never trust her as a listing agent, buyer’s agent, or rental representative. Because at the end of the day, how you treat people is everything and she is absolutely not the kind of professional anyone should work with.

Betsy went above and beyond in helping our family find and purchase our first home! We had a prior unsuccessful experience with a different agent and were left wondering if we could ever find a home. Betsy was referred to us and she was a life saver. Importantly she got to know us and what is important to our family to guide us to our perfect home. Her due diligence was beyond great and she identified issues in homes that we would have never known about. She saved us time, money, and are forever grateful to her and the team.

Betsy Heller did an amazing job helping our family of four find our new home. She help us purchase a beautiful condo in vista CA and I’m very pleased how the whole deal went. her and her team are wondering in taking care of everything and communicating with us in every step of the way. I have know Betsy for many years before and I knew she was the right person and realtor to help us find our new home. As first time buyers we had no experience in this, so she I was beyond happy we had her by our side.

To say that Betsy is good at her job would be a massive understatement. She is divine! Betsy turned this overall stressful process of trying to buy our first home into a valuable learning experience & ultimately got us into a home that we love. She took everything we wanted into account when searching and gave us honest feedback. We appreciate Betsy so much! The ONLY bad part about this is that we won’t get to hang out & talk to Betsy every weekend…we’ll miss her!

I can't say enough about Betsy and her team. We were lucky enough to be connected with Betsy by a good friend who'd recently worked with her. We had been searching for a new home for literally years. With the market being as crazy as it has been since the start of the pandemic we felt fatigued and uncertain. Betsy was the answer. She is so incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate, from construction to financing, and everything between. Touring homes with her was refreshing and reassuring because she was always interactive and vocal, pointing out details and describing potential options/changes. It was always clear that she was thinking about and advocating for us and what we needed in a home. She is honest and and tough, but ever so compassionate and dedicated to her clients. She guided us through the offer, acceptance, and escrow process with grace, patience, and so, so much warmth. I can't recommend her enough. And, to emphasize how much we enjoyed working with her, I have to say, she is someone I hope to keep in contact with simply because she's and awesome human.

As first time homebuyers, it was so comforting to have Betsy on our side. She truly knows her craft and guided us through every step of the home buying process. Betsy always made us feel that we were her number one priority. We'll definitely be using Betsy and Achievers Realty for our next home purchase!

Betsy is a top flight broker and was a tremendous to use purchasing a home in Rancho Santa Fe. I’m glad she was on our side! Her local knowledge, construction insights and wealth of experience put her in the top tier.

Betsy helped my husband and I buy our first home 10 years ago and she was the first call we made when we were thinking about buying a new property (vacant land this time, to build a home). She is is extremely knowledgeable about real estate and about everything from financing options to the planning and building process. Both times that we've worked with Betsy, I've gotten the feeling that she really cares about her clients, and I've felt very comfortable knowing that she is the one representing us in negotiations. Betsy asks great questions to make sure she knows exactly what we need and what we're looking for in a property, and she's also not afraid to tell us when she thinks we're going in a direction that won't be beneficial for us in the long run (again proving she actually cares about us and doesn't just want to make the sale and move on). Soon, we'll be listing our current home for sale, and there's no one I'd rather work with on that process.

Betsy and her team at Achievers Realty are genuinely incredible. Achievers Realty has the most thorough and knowledgeable real estate and property management individuals I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Betsy herself is a fabulous communicator and an incredibly resourceful individual. Her understanding of the market and willingness to go to great lengths to buy and sell the perfect home for her clients is unparalleled. In addition, she has incredible financial knowledge and does a fabulous job of looking out for her clients, both fiscally and personally. As a new homeowner, I felt the process was exceptionally well managed, transparent and that there was a thorough explanation for me to understand each component of the process. I highly recommend Betsy and her team at Achievers Realty to everyone in the San Diego area. Thanks so much, Betsy & team!

Betsy Heller help me to sell my three houses in 2013, 2018 and 2021. They staged your house for free. Give you advice to help you sell your properties fast. All my three properties were sold within one month. She is very professional, easy to talk to and always listen to your needs and help you solve any questions you might have. I was very happy with her services and that is why I kept asking for her help and I am glad I did.

Betsy was our agent when we bought our house. She helped us navigate the buying process. We were so impressed with her, that we also chose her to be our agent when we sell our old house. It took only 5 days and we have an offer and $25k above our asking price. Our family is forever grateful to her and her team.

Working with Besty and her team to sell my mother's home was a genuinely positive experience. I am located in Oklahoma, so my knowledge of the housing market did not apply directly to the San Diego area. That's where Betsy's expertise and professionalism came in. Betsy was thurough, methodical, and proactive. Talking with her among other realtors in the area, it was cut and clear that Betsy did real homework on the market where the other realtors did not. She was there to meet our needs with researched answers to our questions, and following that she went above and beyond to assist us throughout the selling process, taking charge and making it as simple as possible. The home staging was well planned and came at NO additional cost! That came as a huge surprise and is unlike the competing realtors. Also, what may be most important is she was never difficult to contact and always willing to help. I can say that I will recommend her to others still residing in the area, and if there comes a time, I will seek the services of her and her team again!

Betsy was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and patient with my husband and I are we searched for the perfect home. Within a couple of conversations, she was able to identify exactly what type of home we were looking for and immediately provided us with several wonderful options. As soon as we found "the one" she was quick to provide us with details in regards to the payments, contracts, etc. She's incredibly fast, professional and diligent! Aside from being a wealth of knowledge when it comes to real estate, she's also very resourceful in making the connections with other home remodeling professionals. Buying our first home was such a painless experience thanks to Betsy

We couldn't have been happier working with Betsy! We found Betsy through Zillow when we were looking for the perfect (and affordable) lot to build our home- not easy in Southern California. Betsy responded so quickly, getting us information on the property so that we could put in an offer within 24 hours of the property being listed. There were competing bids, but Betsy advocated for us and reached out to the seller on our behalf, and we ended up closing in just over 20 days. We knew very little about buying vacant land, and relied on Betsy's expertise throughout the due diligence period- she called the local city offices, utility companies, and got all the information we needed to feel comfortable making the decision to close. Betsy was available any time we needed her, even just to talk when our anxieties about buying were getting the best of us. She gave us so many invaluable pieces of advice, and great recommendations moving forward, so now we feel much more comfortable with the whole home-building process! We feel we found our dream property and are so lucky to have found Betsy!

Betsy is very prompt and very knowledgeable. Any problems that arised, she was there to help. We had two major issues with the Septic and Well. She was able to provide multiple contacts to help us fix the issues in order to close on time. I dont know when she slept because she was always available when we called. I cant thank her enough and would use her everytime!

I worked with Betsy recently while condo-hunting. As a longtime realtor in the San Diego area, Betsy has a wealth of knowledge that is is invaluable. I am fairly new to San Diego and it was extremely helpful to work with someone who had all the information I needed. On top of that, Betsy is just plain nice!

Guided us through the sale from start to finish. She was instrumental in our search for the perfect home and very helpful with all the many questions we had throughout the process. We couldn't be happier withor purchase and her help in getting it done. Vet/military friendly.

I met Betsy at an open house (the home that I ended up purchasing), and we immediately clicked because of our engineering background. As a buyer and seller agent, she maintained professional and executed fairly as a mediator which I really appreciated as it is a very difficult position to be in. She took the time to explain through the contract/process as first time home buyer and very responsive via text/phone. My only feedback was that occasionally I felt a little lost or not sure if I am missing something. I had to make sure I am constantly staying on top of things and asking question. Providing some more guidance and next steps/heads up would be great!

Betsy works hard for her clients. As first time homebuyers as a married couple, it could be a daunting process but Betsy was very informative, educational, and patient. She made herself available and her communication was always excellent. Betsy truly wants the best for her client and her work ethic throughout the process shows it.

The Achievers Realty Team helped us with several transactions (purchases and sales) and each time, the experience was excellent! We highly recommend their service for any realty needs. They are professional, honest, excellent in negotiating and knowledgable about the real estate market. Importantly, they consistently communicated with us and looked out for our best interest. Don't hesitate, contact Betsy today!

If you are thinking of selling or buying a home, talk to Betsy Heller of the Achievers Realty Team.  Betsy and her staff are wonderful.  I listed my home with her because she offered the entire package when it came to market presence. She held an open house Saturday & Sunday... I received 4 offers on the house after 5 days on market. We closed on the house four weeks later.                                 Through the entire process Betsy and her team were always positive and available to answer any question any time of the day.  Seriously, they must work around the clock.  We talked to them early in the morning and late at night.  They responded quickly to texts.  As a seller, I can’t tell you how important it is to know that your agent is there for you.                  There are thousands of real estate agents in San Diego, but if you want an agent that is reliable, smart and genuinely has your best interest at hear...give Betsy & her team a call!

Two people looking to buy a home together will have different ways of approaching the purchase. Betsy did the difficult job of listening to both of us, finding us a property we could both be happy with, and negotiating us a very good deal. She stayed up late to give advice and feedback, took time walking us through the first time home-buying process, and offered valuable knowledge as a seasoned real estate agent throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend her and her team!

Betsy was an awesome team member in the process of buying our first home. She displayed a depth of knowledge in every aspect along the way. Betsy was empathetic to our experience, never pushy, and a total advocate for us! At one point it didn't seem as though she even slept. She was available whenever we wanted to look at a place, if we needed help with paperwork, or a late night phone call to calm us down. Thank you Betsy!!!

When we first met her she was the only agent that offered to meet the same day. She went far and beyond what was expected and couldn't thank her enough for helping my family get us the perfect home. With Betsy, it wasn't just about finding a house we liked, because really, anybody could do that. It was about knowing the little things, the knowledge, the experience, and the do-what-it-takes mentality. Most importantly, she cared about my family and that, at the end, was what got us our home. The San Diego market is very tough and were very lucky to have Betsy on our side. Being first time home buyers, there is a ton of info you need to consume and she did an awesome job of keeping us informed. We would recommend her to everyone!

I met Betzy at an Open House in Alpine. I fell in love with the house. I did not have an agent at the time. I liked her professionalism and the fact that she was not pushy yet very informative. I immediately felt a connection and that I could trust her and I asked her to be my buyer's agent. There were so many things that had to be done in purchasing a home 90 miles from where you live. She was familiar with the area and was on top of it. She stayed in contact with me daily and coordinated and handled setting up the inspection on the home, the water, the well etc. I didn't have to worry about anything. She and her assistant Anna were so well organized, it went very smooth. Anna, her Assistant was very helpful in getting me all the disclosures and information that I requested. I am so glad that I hired Betzy. We are very grateful to her for all her hard work. We trust her and we would highly recommend to our friends and family.

We have been very impressed by Betsy's diligence and knowledge. She was very proactive from the beginning of the project with a number of open houses and bringing brokers to see our house. Instead of inundating us with theories, she used her actions to produce result within a short period of time. She has duly distinguished herself as a truly effective and friendly professional in her field.

I cannot say enough good about my experience working with Betsy. Within a week of working with her I had three properties of interest and had an offer accepted. But it didn't stop there; Betsy was amazing throughout the entire process. She was extremely patient with all my questions, always responded immediately, and never dropped the ball. Bottom line if you want to purchase the right home, at the right price, on time, and with confidence then hands down you should work with Betsy!

Betsy is a true professional. She understood my needs and worked in a determined fashion to get my property sold at the best price in Fallbrook. She is knowledgeable, honest and respectful. I have recommended Betsy to friends & family in San Diego and will continue to do so. Next month I will be putting my home in the hands of Betsy & her team…and I don’t have a doubt in my mind that they will get it sold quickly & for top dollar! Can’t wait to keep working with you guys!

Betsy is an amazing person and a fantastic realtor. I do not live in San Diego and she has helped me sell, rent, and maintain my properties. She constantly provides me with sound advice and high quality renters. She makes being an absent landlord easy. In addition, Her sidekick Raquel is always available and knowledgeable.

Betsy has an immeasurable amount of knowledge on the different neighborhoods, market history, current trends and how and what to look for when buying a house. She was able to steer us towards the right home for us based on our current needs and long term goals. During the negotiating process her insistence on a thorough review of the property by multiple experts and her knowledge of the home buying process and rules enabled us to negotiate for over $8,000 dollars in credits from the seller.

Betsy Heller is a wonderful person. She is absolutely the best in the field! Very professional and knowledgeable, most importantly she is honest! She made me feel like she has my best interest at heart and not just for the commission...but what would be best for my family!

We feel very fortunate to have found Betsy to represent us as home buyers. She helped us navigate a very complex purchase and was there to offer suggestions based on her years of personal experience in the realm of real estate. Betsy has the appropriate negotiation skills necessary to ensure the proper purchase price of any home. We look forward to working with Betsy Heller again in the near future.

We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have found Betsy and to have her work with us. My husband and I were looking to purchase our first investment property but didn't know where to start. Betsy was exceptional in so many areas - from teaching us the fundamentals of purchasing an investment home, to helping us narrow our geographical search area, and helping us to find the best property that we could afford. Betsy is incredibly knowledgable and made sure that we understood every step in the process. We always took the time to explain everything and made sure all of our questions were answered. She taught us how to assess a property from its income-generating potential. Our closing was unusually challenging (issues came up during the home inspection) and Betsy fought for us every step of the way. She negotiated hard and stood firm to ensure problems were corrected. We look forward to our next home-buying adventure with Betsy. I couldn't imagine using anyone else.

Betsy and her team are on top of their game! From the beginning of our journey Betsy did her homework. She provided the initial supported marketing strategy for the sale of our home. She provided frequent timely communications resulting in a seamless process from beginning to end with all goals completed. In summary: Sale ahead of plan, Quality unmatched in support /service and Customer Satisfaction.

Betsy helped us buy REO using a 10% down loan when the listing agent didn’t think it could be done…Which left us enough money to do repairs. It’s now been 6 years and it’s the best move we’ve made. Betsy is diligent, resourceful, and knows how to make the best deals! We will definitely be using Betsy in the future.

Betsy Heller was exceptional in helping us buying our current home in La Jolla. She worked with us patiently for more than a year in finding a home for us that met our needs. For us, buying a home in La Jolla was challenging, given they tend to be older homes and we were looking for something that was mostly move in ready and remodeled. All through the process, she was very supportive, understanding and guided through the process of buying of a home. I would highly recommend Betsy to our friends and colleagues for their real estate needs.

My husband and I needed to buy a home for my older brother who had become ill. It was important to us that he was in a safe and quiet area that also had easy access to great doctors and medical facilities. Betsy really knew the 55+ communities and helped us decide on a great area and home. I will recommend Betsy to anyone who is need of real estate help! Thanks again, Betsy.

I can't believe it's been 7 YEARS since I got stationed in San Diego. As a new lieutenant just out of medical school, Betsy understood the challenges of a new area and being first-time homebuyer because of being a veteran and her years of experience. Being at my first duty station since residency was already overwhelming so having Betsy guide me through my first home purchase made this process more calming and less stressful. Thanks for making my first home purchase so seamless! I plan to use Betsy for all my future real estate needs.

How lucky we were to find Betsy from Achievers Realty for our relocation to the San Diego area. Betsy was very knowledgeable about the area and worked diligently to find us the right home in the right location. From home search to closing, Betsy was always available with quick response time to emails, texts and phone calls. We would highly recommend Betsy and Achievers Realty for your real estate needs.

We moved from another state and had very few opportunities to visit, often on short notice. Betsy was excellent to work with, super responsive to emails and calls, and worked diligently to answer any and all questions we had about areas and properties. I loved that she was straight forward with us. Our mortgage process was rough and Betsy took care of a great deal of issues for us, pointed us the right direction for insurance and helped out with all the fine details. She is simply fantastic!

Betsy helped my husband and I in find a home for over the course of a year, so we had ample time to observe her in a professional role. From the very beginning she made herself completely available to us, educating us on the housing market, and keeping us abreast on new inventory as it became available. We were fairly reluctant to move forward, and Betsy could not have been more understanding and patient with us. When we finally put a contract on a home she provided every resource possible for closing and even called in professionals to answer all our question concerning the condition of the home. She was a pleasure to work with in every way and we were completely confident in her skills as a realtor.

Betsy was a fantastic realtor. I was a first time home buyer with limited knowledge of the process. She was very helpful in explaining the process and providing great feedback/reviews on the several properties we viewed.

Betsy and team were amazing from start to finish. I had a phone chat with her as a first contact (she was a referral from a friend) and Betsy lined up 12 viewings the following weekend. Aside from getting us in and all the logistics, one of the biggest services Betsy provided was 'reading between the lines' on all the comments we made during the viewings. She very quickly understood what we were really looking for, and helped us understand it too by always challenging us to prioritize the houses we saw and constantly think about what's important and what isn't. Although we anticipated the house search to take months, we ended up putting an offer down on a house we loved, and the offer was accepted! There was a competing offer for more money, but the sellers chose us due to a couple of minor but very strategic concessions Betsy urged us to make in the offer. Those turned out to be exactly what the sellers were looking for and that's why we beat out a higher offer. Another incredibly important service Betsy offered us was an incredibly detailed knowledge of how much things cost to fix or renovate. Being trained as an engineer and having been in the business for a very long time, Betsy's seen it all and has been spot on with all her estimates. It's like having a contractor and realtor all in one, which is really helpful when looking at homes that aren't completely turn-key. We really ended up with our dream home in a dream location, and none of it would have been even remotely possible with Betsy! And if all that weren't enough, Betsy's team was incredible to work with during escrow, and helped us close a very short escrow on time, which was no small feat! Couldn't recommend anyone more!

Betsy helped us sell a distressed property in Lakeside that was part of a trust that I administered. It was a difficult task for me, however Betsy was a champ at getting us through the process to a successful conclusion. There were many challenges along the way and Betsy stuck with us in helping us get this done. Betsy was very knowledgable about the area and was able to get me a good price for the property. She has great contacts that she worked with to help us get the property ready to sell. Bravo Zulu Betsy

Betsy is the BEST! She's extremely professional, knowledgable, kind, and honest. She has a an extensive network of business contacts that do great work and are very affordable. She was available when I needed her whether it was to answer my questions over the phone or meet to look at properties! I would highly recommend her to anyone who would like to purchase or sell a home. She got me through the exciting / stressful first time buying process and did it wonderfully. Thanks again Betsy!

My husband and I have bought a good amount of homes and Betsey is one of our top most knowledgeable brokers. She knew what she was doing and how to get the deal done. She truly worked for our best interest and made it very easy and stress free during escrow. I would highly recommend her to our friends and family.

Betsy is by far is one of the best agents my wife and I have worked with here in San Diego. When it comes to understanding specific real estate markets in San Diego to having total comprehension of the purchase agreements that both the Seller and Buyer sign to walking us through each step of the home buying experience from writing the offer to working with our loan officer to complete our loan application, Betsy knew it all and made it very easy for us to help us purchase our first home. If you are out there looking for an agent to work with, stop no further and go with Betsy. You will be completely satisfied. She is not only extremely professional, but her knowledge base in the home buying experience will make you glad you had went with her. We cannot thank Betsy enough for everything she has done for my wife, daughter and I in the purchase of our first home. We look forward to working with Betsy again when it comes time for us to purchase or sell our next home.

Betsy helped get my rental property ready for sale and sold it very quickly with multiple offers. Betsy helped find a 1013 exchange property, assisted in the financing and purchase of a multiple rental unit that has worked out very well. I could not recommend anyone any higher as to her professional skills and real estate expertise. A very satisfied client.
