"I had an outstanding experience working with Kendel Iman on the sale of my property. From the beginning, she took the time to truly understand every detail of the property, including the zoning and unique characteristics, so she could clearly and confidently explain everything to potential buyers. Throughout the entire process, Kendel was proactive, organized, and consistently ahead of the curve. She stayed on top of every moving part and ensured nothing slipped through the cracks. In fact, there were multiple instances where she stepped in to compensate for shortcomings on the buyer’s side, handling challenges professionally and keeping the transaction moving forward without unnecessary stress. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and commitment to protecting her client’s interests were evident from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend Kendel to anyone looking to buy or sell. She is extremely helpful, highly knowledgeable, and a true professional in every sense."

"Kendel sold our home this past summer, and we were grateful she was able to sell it as quickly as she did! We also moved out of state at the same time the home was for sale, and we trusted her and her team."

Buyer & Seller
"Kendel was a joy to work with. She made herself available whenever we needed her to show us a home. She was very patient with answering our myriad of questions. Kendel worked hard to negotiate with the seller of our home. Without her expertise, I don’t believe we would have been chosen as the purchasers of our home."

"Kendel was awesome from start to finish! It was a long process trying to get an offer accepted, but she stayed positive and patient throughout. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor to get us into our first home."

"Kendel went above and beyond to represent me in buying an investment property with multiple offers and was able to secure the deal even in such a competitive market. She also represented me in selling the property and, from start to finish, was very communicative, professional, and knowledgeable with all the ins and outs of the real estate market. Kendel has a true passion for real estate and is thankful for her dedication to handling such a big investment."

"Kendel was referred to me. We connected, and a few days later, she had my property listed. She knows the area well and set realistic expectations for me. 5 days later, she got the home under contract for 30k more than asking! I would recommend Kendel; she knows her stuff, handles all the little things very well, and communicates often."

"Having worked with other realtors when selling and buying previous homes, the difference working with Jake is a night and day difference. He's on top of things, very knowledgeable, educates you on the process (instead of making decisions for you), and my favorite part is that he really helped us position our house to put our best foot forward when it came time to go to market. His advice on preparing it, the photographer he brought in (the photos sold the house online phenomenal!), the first open house (which was quite the amazing production), the marketing strategy he deployed through social media, and so many of the little things he did that put us in the best possible position has enabled us to move our house quickly in an area that typically takes a long time. Our last realtor merely put our house on the MLS and exerted as little effort as possible to sell it. Jake was on the opposite end of the spectrum. He truly was a professional during the process of selling our home. We're also excited to work with him to find our next house and so far the process has been very smooth. I can't imagine myself working with anyone else in the future."

"Jake Ralston did an amazing job throughout the entire process of the purchase of our new home! He was responsive, helpful, and patient as we picked out our dream house. As many know, buying or selling a home may seem easy until you're actually going through it. Jake made sure buying a house was easy and simple for us. Working with Jake was wonderful and we will definitely be using him again in the future. We thank Jake for all that he did for us and would highly recommend Ralston Real Estate Group to anyone who is in need of buying or selling a home."

"We received Jake Ralston's name as a referral from a friend. He was very enthusiastic and aggressive in listing and marketing our house. His videos and photographs showcased the beauty of our home to prospects. He found many people who loved our house and many made offers. Our sale was finally concluded after the first contract fell through as the first buyer couldn't sell their house. Fortunately, Jake found a motivated buyer who stepped up with an offer "we couldn't refuse". Special recognition to Tiffany Ayres, his associate, who followed through on all issues which come up in a real estate sale. Priceless!"

"Jake did an amazing job selling our house! He went above and beyond what I felt any other realtor in town would to make sure we got top dollar for our house. He is professional from start to finish from his marketing to his photography and video. I have since moved states and struggle to find a realtor I like based on how amazing of a job Jake did selling our house. So many times I said "this is why we've hired him". He's the one you want to sell your house!"

"Highly recommend Jake and his team for all things real estate in the La Cresta, Temecula, Fallbrook and Bonsall areas. Jake’s level of professionalism, his love for their community, cutting edge strategies and modern real estate marketing make him the only choice if you are looking to buy, sell or invest in Temecula or La Cresta area real estate. It is rare to find an agent like Jake Ralston that has an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of buying and selling equestrian estates, ranch property, vineyards and land in the Temecula Valley, La Cresta and Fallbrook areas."

"Jake is a top notch realtor who wants to do much more than just list your home on the MLS and wait for it to sell. From start to finish he was dedicated to providing the highest level of service and obtaining the best offer for our homes. He created high demand for our properties with his excellent marketing techniques and brought us multiple offers within just a few days for both our primary home and a rental property. I highly recommend listing your home for sale with Jake Ralston."

"Jake is an amazing realtor. He is very personable and professional, showing a great deal of knowledge about the neighborhood ensuring our listing price met our expectations. He personally took charge to correct our home's bedroom count with the County Assessor's Office ensuring our home was properly listed in the MLS. He was extremely helpful with the staging of our house and brought in an amazing photographer/videographer. Jake created an outstanding MLS description, sales pamphlet, photos, and incredible 3D visual tour. He was always willing to answer any and all of our questions. First day offer - We listed our house and received an offer the same day. He ensured negotiations were conducted with no friction. We never expected to sell our house as quickly as it did. He did an outstanding job!"

"I'm forever grateful to Jake for helping me find my place in Carpinteria. I knew the town, but not the market; those are too very different things. Jake knew his market well. He even blocked me from making a couple of really bad choices, but located and pushed on the right one. He understood location, amenities, and "bones" that would be of long term value. My place is wonderfully liveable in ways that I did appreciate when I bought in my early 40s. Jake was responsive, on his game, and very much a perfessional. Hit me if you want to know more; but, in total, he earned every penney of his comission and more."

"Jake stepped in after five months with other realtors. A previous potential buyer expressed continued interest to me and I referred him to Jake. After two weeks he put a sale together that made both the buyer and me happy. Smart, knowledgeable, willing to work hard and be diligent all the while working ethically to create a win/win. I can’t recommend him highly enough!"

They went well above and beyond to help us (even assisting the other side's realtors when they weren't really sure what they were doing, to make sure out deal went through), helping us with furniture, golf cart, etc. I truly can't say enough good things about them. Absolutely the best, in all respects!"

"Kelly and Jake are exactly what you'd hope for in real estate agents. They helped me with the purchase of my home and made the entire process as seamless and enjoyable as possible. They have the familiarity with the area, market expertise, and negotiation skills necessary to get you a great deal. And probably even have fun in what can be a pretty stressful situation. They're fortunate to work in an area as beautiful as La Cresta, and the La Cresta community is lucky to have Kelly and Jake representing it. I would happily recommend them to any family or friends searching in the area. A+++."

We just closed escrow on a property yesterday, and they pulled off a miracle on the deal, getting it to close escrow. You find out real quickly how critical it is to have an ethical and competent team when things don't go right, and watching this team in action working on our behalf made all the difference to get us across the finish line. Highly recommend them!"

Hands down, Jake and Kelly were the best that I've ever used. They sold our home for more money than we dreamed and negotiated a purchase price on our new home for $50,000 under market. They are the best, bar none."

They take the time to really get to know you and understand your needs. They truly treated me like family throughout the entire process. I’m so grateful I found this team. They’re simply masters at what they do, and they’re also just great people. Kelly and Jake, thank you both so much."

"From start to finish, they provided an exceptional level of service and expertise that made the entire process stress-free and successful. First, they took the time to listen to my needs and understand what I was looking for in a property.

When it came time to sell my land, they went above and beyond to market it effectively and negotiate a great deal. They were always available to answer my questions and address any concerns I had, and they kept me informed every step of the way.
