"He has helped me sell two homes in San Diego, one within 24 hours of being listed!"

The Don Pelletier Group isn’t just a group of agents to assist in selling your current property in San Diego County, they are much more. I have known Don since 1969, that is 56 years of service I have personally received from Don and his company. He has helped me sell two homes in San Diego, one within 24 hours of being listed! Now here is a little secret, he has helped me find realtors across the states to buy and sell property with the same high caliber of professional knowledge of that area that Don has of the San Diego County area. The states he assisted me in are Washington, Louisiana, Idaho, and Virginia. Guess you would say Don Pelletier is my realtor for life. Thank you, Don, for all you have done for me in the past and will continue to help me with in the future.

"From my very first interaction while I was in the Philippines, Don's confidence and expertise shone through."

SEAMLESS SALE WHILE I WAS ABROAD…COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!”I can't express how grateful I am for the seamless home-selling experience I had while abroad. Working with Don Pelletier from The Don Pelletier Group was an exceptional experience. As a long-standing family friend in our neighborhood with a stellar reputation, it was an easy decision to reach out to him when it was time to sell my home. From my very first interaction while I was in the Philippines, Don's confidence and expertise shone through. He provided a comprehensive market analysis of my neighborhood, which helped me establish a well-informed pricing strategy and set realistic expectations right from the start. What truly sets Don apart is his exceptional communication skills. He kept me informed at every stage, promptly addressing all my questions and turning what could have been a daunting process into a smooth and stress-free journey. His marketing strategy was nothing short of excellent, featuring professional photography and targeted campaigns that attracted multiple strong offers. Don's impressive negotiation skills resulted in a final sale price that was highly satisfactory, especially given my urgent timeframe. When a minor issue arose during the inspection, Don's calm and solution-oriented approach ensured that it was swiftly resolved, paving the way for a smooth closing process. Despite being halfway across the globe, I never felt disconnected; Don's proactive management of every detail made me feel like his top priority, even though I knew he was handling other clients too. I wholeheartedly endorse Don Pelletier to anyone looking to sell their home. His professionalism, deep market knowledge, and genuine care for his clients are truly unparalleled. Thank you, Don, for everything!

Don and Gerri and their team went the extra mile to help us get a record-breaking price for our home. Don personally gave us suggestions regarding everything we needed to do to make our house show like the gem we new it could be, as well as things that we didn't need to do! Overall a stellar experience!

- Robert M.

"Luckily for me, I followed my friend's advice and called Don"

When I decided to start looking for my new home, I was wondering if I really needed the services of a real estate agent or if I could just do it all by myself. After all, these days, the Internet gives everybody access to loads of information about the housing market. A friend of mine told me ‘There’s a lot more to a house purchase than an address and a price! Give a call to Don Pelletier.’ Luckily for me, I did follow my friend’s advice and several months later I am a very happy homeowner. Don made this possible for me thanks to his many years of experience, knowledge, broad view of the market, and impressive care for his customers.

– Andrea G.

"Don, we want to tell you how much we appreciate working with you."

Don, we want to tell you how much we appreciate working with you. The reason we chose you to sell our property and also help us buy a replacement is that we knew we could take your advice. Knowing you for the past 29 years has convinced us that your advice is based on experience, honesty, and integrity. We couldn’t ask for more than that.

- Jim & Marge G.

"Don made our home purchase process seamless and stress-free."

My husband and I were extremely pleased that Don Pelletier was our real estate agent in San Diego. When we moved from the Bay Area to San Diego, Don, his wife Gerri, and the team did a fantastic job for our home purchase experience. They were extremely knowledgeable in the San Diego area and able to find properties based on our specific criteria. Don and his team responded to our numerous questions and inquiries via email and phone right away. We were able to close on our home sale in the Bay Area and home purchase in San Diego that were days apart, and Don, as our buying agent, did a great job coordinating with our selling agent to make this happen for us.

Don made sure that the property was inspected properly and that all the small repairs were completed by the sellers before we moved in. Don also provided a list of experts in the areas of taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and contractors. Don made our home purchase process seamless and stress-free. We are grateful for Don and his team!! They are the best real estate team in San Diego!

- Bhavna R.

"It was like working with family."

We didn't really know where to start, so we turned to Don. He helped us put together a competitive offer and a package that the seller would actually agree to. Afterward, the process was very streamlined. Don's team is on top of everything and kept us updated. You felt like they had your back especially being first-time home buyers. Don and Gerri and the whole team educated us throughout the whole process.

- Laurie & Joey

"We were selling in a tough market, but he came through with a buyer."

Don Pelletier has been a friend of the family for over 40 years, so when we needed a real estate expert, he was the only one we wanted to represent us. Our particular transaction had a lot of challenges, which Don took on headfirst. He gave us expert advice and counseling. We were selling in a tough market, but he came through with a buyer and completed the sale in a short time. He put our interests as his top priority. We highly recommend the Don Pelletier Group for all of your real estate needs. Thank you!

"Nearly went into foreclosure, and Don saved the day."

 Don was a marvelous realtor. He was so nice and worked very hard on my sale. Nearly went into foreclosure, and Don saved the day and the property sold in great time due to his diligence. I recommend him highly. He’s very knowledgeable in real estate sales.

- Kim B.

"Happy ending for everyone."

 A polished personal service from beginning to end. The Team was quick to respond to our requests and find solutions to our obstacles. Great communication. The result was an extremely quick sale, and all the processing went through escrow exactly on schedule. Buyer was in house before Christmas, as requested. Happy ending for everyone.

- Dani S.

"You will not regret going with Don."

 I am so thankful I found Don. He was referred to me by 2 people, who did not know each other. Don was very communicative, knows the business, and a great negotiator. He was able to get me above asking price, during a price war, and knew exactly what to do. You will not regret going with Don.

- Sandy S.

"Don was fantastic to partner with in selling our home."

Don was fantastic to partner with in selling our home. Realistic, experienced, and someone to go with for an honest conversation and a positive outcome.

- George D.

"Don and his team showed their value once the offer was accepted by walking us through the escrow process every step of the way."

We were referred to Don by a trusted professional, and since we were first-time homeowners, we had a lot of questions and uncertainty about the housing market and the process of purchasing a condo.  Don did a great job of explaining to us how the process worked, his opinion on the current condition of the housing market, and what types of opportunities there were for us as first-time homeowners.  Don was very patient with us as we went through the process of identifying what type of condo, location, and price we were both comfortable with.  After seeing many homes over 6 months, Don stuck with us and finally found the right one for us!  First, Don did a market analysis to ensure we were making the right offer and not overpaying.  After receiving the market analysis and getting guidance from Don, we decided to pull the trigger and make an offer.  Don and his team quickly swooped into action and had an offer out to the seller within 24 hours – and the seller accepted!  Don and his team showed their value once the offer was accepted by walking us through the escrow process every step of the way.  They did a great job of moving things along quickly, as our goal was to close as fast as possible.  I am happy to say the condo we purchased appraised for $20,000 more than we paid for it!  In our opinion, this validates Don’s experience and negotiating skills as a business professional and realtor.  All in all, Don and his team did a great job in explaining the process to us, making the transaction smooth, and getting us into the condo we wanted for the price range we were comfortable with.

- Bill Corder & Brandy Clements

"What really stood out was Don’s deep knowledge of the current market. Especially in a time when things felt so uncertain."

I just wanted to share what a great experience my wife and I had working with Don Pelletier to sell our home. From the very beginning, Don was incredibly attentive and made us feel like we were his only clients. He was always available, always checking in, and made sure we understood every step of the process. That kind of communication made a huge difference — we always felt informed and supported.

What really stood out was Don’s deep knowledge of the current market. Especially in a time when things feel so uncertain, he was able to explain everything clearly and give us the information we needed to make the right decisions. It made the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming.

Selling a home can be stressful, but Don made it easy. He was on top of everything and truly went above and beyond for us!.

If you’re thinking of buying or selling, I can’t recommend Don enough. He’s professional, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about his clients. We’re so glad we worked with him.

Look no further than Don Pelletier for a reliable, honest, and hard-working Real Estate Agent. He and his group recently handled the sale of our home in California with massive online advertising, tough negotiations, and thorough communication. Don handled issues that we would have no clue on what to do. He has a stable of skilled handymen and contractors that swiftly dealt with much-needed repairs in our home, at a fair cost. Don and his team were always friendly, polite, and respectful in our dealings, with instant responses to all of our questions and inquiries.

- Tom R.

 

"I found him to be easy to work with and very knowledgeable."

I recently worked with Don on the sale of three properties after my mother died. I found him to be easy to work with and very knowledgeable, not only regarding the value of the real estate, but also how to market it and why certain offers were not as good as they looked. Don has many contacts and arranged some upgrades we needed to make. He says his favorite part is the negotiations, and with one property, he did manage to create a bidding war.

- Denise T.

"Don's market knowledge allowed us to price the home well above our expectations."

 I would like to recap how enjoyable it was working with you on my home sale. Your market knowledge allowed us to price the home well above my expectations, and your preparation before listing allowed it to be presented in a very professional manner, yielding a sale in two days at the top of the range! Additionally, you kept me informed daily through the close of escrow and always returned my calls promptly.

- Jim F.


"A seamless and smooth experience all the way through."

 Don has been a realtor in the San Diego area for many decades. We didn’t have a moment’s hesitation in selecting him to represent us. A seamless and smooth experience all the way through. He guided us through the entire process and made suggestions that would only benefit us. Our highest recommendation. 

- Mike & Cathy H.

"An absolute pleasure from start to finish."

 Thank you, Don, for your professionalism in handling the sale of our home. By selling our house in three days, you took all the stress away…something much needed with a newborn! It was an absolute pleasure dealing with you from start to finish, particularly given your attention to detail, honesty regarding all matters, and negotiating skills. We can honestly say that working with you was like having a friend to help us sell our home.

– Shelly M.

"All of the advice received had my and my family’s best interests in mind."

Thank you, Don/Gerri, for selling my home! I did not think my home would sell easily, but Don/Gerri surprised me, getting an offer locked in within 4 days of listing and a super easy 30-day escrow whilst guiding me through the whole process. All of the advice received had my and my family’s best interests in mind. I am insanely appreciative of the level of service I received. I will be requesting Don and Gerri’s expert services for all future real estate transactions and recommending them to anyone/everyone interested in buying or selling a home.

- Bryan M.

"Don is your person. I would again and again recommend him; he works very hard for his clients, and in the end, you will have gained a friend, too."

We had a great experience using Don Pelletier for our realtor when we recently sold our home. I did a lot of research ahead of time to know what I was looking for in a realtor to represent us and Don fit the bill to a T. We had a very unexpected bump in the road a week prior to close... not anything to do on our end.. but it was a bit unsettling to say the least, but Don was right on top of things and had us back under contract within 24 hours.. so our move was only delayed by under 2 weeks. I found Don very communicative, kind, knowledgeable, honest, ethical, and easy to work with. His long expertise in the field definitely showed and made a big difference for us. If you are looking for someone who is easy to work with, will take your requests into consideration, and who knows the ropes very well... Don is your person. I would again and again recommend him; he works very hard for his clients, and in the end, you will have gained a friend, too. bonus!!

- Miriam J.

"They took care of everything."

On behalf of Greg and me, I would like to send our sincere thanks to you. Living in Hawaii and trying to sell a house in San Diego is not possible without help from someone. I can’t tell you how impressed we were with your attention to detail, your outstanding customer service, and your hard work towards a successful sale. I guess the amazing part is I know we were not your most profitable customer! I wish we were still in San Diego to be able to utilize your services again. If we have any Navy friends transferring to San Diego, you can be sure we will recommend you to them. If we can ever be a contact for a recommendation, please contact us. We wish you and your staff all the success in the ever-changing real estate world. Additional thanks to Gerri for her outstanding support on your behalf. Again, we are extremely grateful for your tremendous work, your tremendous time, and effort devoted to us. If you are ever in Hawaii, please stop by and visit. Aloha!

- Colleen K. T.

"I found him to be thorough, well-prepared, and extremely pleasant to work with..."

As a result of my professional involvement in complicated legal transactions, I have had the privilege of becoming well-acquainted with Mr. Don Pelletier. Mr. Pelletier was not only of tremendous assistance to me, but I also found him to be thorough, well-prepared, and extremely pleasant to work with in situations that required immediate attention. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Pelletier and can do so with confidence that he will continue to maintain the fine qualities that I observed.

"They know their business—from pricing, marketing, negotiating, and timely follow-through."

Most people can say they have a friend who is a realtor. But we can say we have a realtor who became our friend— over 30 years ago! Don Pelletier is a man of integrity and grace. He works tirelessly for his clients and is extremely professional and knowledgeable about all things real estate. Don and Gerri walked us through our third transaction recently and got us top dollar for our home. They know their business—from pricing, marketing, negotiating, timely follow-through, and walking their clients through the land mines of escrow with assurance and confidence. Without reservation, we highly recommend the Don Pelletier Group for all of your residential and investment real estate needs. They are the BEST!!!

- Alan & Gail W.

"I would highly recommend Don and his Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

Don and his team were very helpful during all stages of our house sale. He visited our home early to advise on staging and worked with us closely throughout. Our sale was a bit difficult and stressful because the buyers on the first offer backed out after a few days, but then came back after a week or so. And then the escrow was delayed due to the buyers changing lenders very late in the process. Don and his team stayed close to us with multiple text messages, emails, and phone calls. They gave us good advice to help us through all stages. I would highly recommend Don and his Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. They are hardworking and very honest.

– Charlie & Glynn B.

"Don took action to ensure my property sold quickly."

I want to thank Don, Gerri, and the team for really taking care of me in selling my property. They kept me updated, followed up with me often, and gave great advice. Living across the country, I wanted to make sure my realtor was patient with my questions and was empathetic to me learning this process. Most importantly, Don took action to ensure my property sold quickly. I would certainly recommend Don and his team to anyone looking to list their home for sale in San Diego Co.

- Adreana B.

"We will always be grateful to Don for all of his help and can’t recommend him strongly enough."

Absolutely the best realtor we have ever worked with. My wife and I have sold houses in five states, and the three we bought/sold with Don and his team were the easiest. Others talk about being customer-focused, but talk is cheap. Don was there from the beginning to the end of the sale and beyond. We are still in touch 10 years after we moved away from California. If not for my relocation, Don would be the first number I would call if I were selling or buying a property.

Our first transaction (sale) was a challenging one, and Don got it done fast and for our asking price. The second (purchase) was also a challenge. The sellers were difficult to deal with, but Don and his team were able to navigate this difficult situation, and we got our dream house.

Sadly, after three years, my job was relocated, and once again, Don came through. Our house sold in record time and at top dollar. That profit has come in handy in retirement.

We will always be grateful to Don for all of his help and can’t recommend him strongly enough. He is easy to work with, cares about his clients, and will get you top dollar.

– Dave S.
