EXCELLENT Based on 38 reviews Posted on susanaacevedo560Verified Doug was the seller's agent when we bought our home in San Diego so when we were ready to sell that home we did not hesitate to call him. He was professional, easy to communicate with, flexible, reliable, approachable, personable, creative and a great listener. He knows the PQ neighborhood so well and his personal approach in the process of selling our home was financially profitable for us. I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home in North County.Posted on BarbaraWesterveltVerified We met Doug several times during our daily walks when he had other listings in the neighborhood. He was always very personable and professional. When we decided to sell our home we knew we wanted to work with Doug and I am so glad we did. Doug knew exactly how to present our home and we received an offer within a few hours of it being listed. I cannot praise Doug enough for his service and attention to detail. If you are looking for the best realtor out there – it is Doug Lechner.Posted on jdkoundanyaVerified Doug is a very calm, efficient, precise, kind, quick and helpful!

He provided excellent advice, was professional and kind and communicated with us every step of the way. The process went very smoothly especially since we had so many moving parts. We will use Doug for all of our real estate needs and recommend him to our friends and family.Posted on trevor r conleyVerified Doug was a great agent for us. When we first met, he was very accommodating to meet after work hours of myself and fiance. We had a nice meeting and he went to work right away with setting up a portal with our wants in our first home. He was always available when we had something to see and was very quick to set up showings for houses we were interested in. We were even able to get a last minute showing at a 7pm on a Sunday, which was very nice of him to go look at something so late in the evening. Eventually, once we put in an offer on a house (multiple offers of course in the market we were purchasing in), Doug was able to meet us to walk through the house again and helped up look around closely at the house for negotiating credits and what we should come back to the table with. We ended up getting the house and couldn't be happier with Doug's services. We will definitely be recommending him to any friends and family who are looking to buy or sell!Posted on Ravindra LoteVerified It was a pleasure working with Doug. He is a experienced, responsive, and most importantly sincere. My wife and I recently bought our first home with the help of Doug. We asked a number of questions to Doug during this time. He always provided honest advice which helped us to navigate through the maze of home buying process. He also helped us settle down in our new home. I would highly recommend Doug to anyone.Posted on mdattebury5Verified We used Doug to sell our house, and he made the process as easy as possible, and sold it in less than a week! He's very knowledgeable about the market in the area.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Lily BirminghamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doug Lechner was my realtor to sell a 4-bedroom house and to buy a 2-bedroom condo. Everything was smooth and professionally executed. Even in a buyers market, I got through listing, selling, buying and moving in one month. Doug proposed the approach, he suggested items to improve my 42 year-old house for the market and he was right on. I was out of town a lot, and he stepped in to take care of things. Once the house was ready, we discussed the price for the competitive market. It was fast once the house was listed. As soon as we got a good contract for the house, making an offer for the condo was easy. Digital signatures made everything efficient nowadays. Whenever I had questions, Doug was helpful. He arranged for me to stay in the house for two days after settlement, so I could finalize the condo purchase and move the next day. All my friends are surprised at how fast the process I went through.Posted on Nestor LopezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
