Fantastic experience: Best team to work with in selling your property
Fantastic experience: Excellent, friendly service. Efficient and extremely helpful. The selling process moved along quickly and seamlessly. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I found Abel Contreras and his team very helpful and easy to work with. I discussed my needs with Mr. Contreras and he worked with me to help me realize my goals in selling the property. I would highly recommend this realtor to anyone buying or selling real estate.
Fantastic experience: Great people and great service
Thank you! It was truly a pleasure working with you and your mom throughout the process. We’re grateful for the trust you placed in us to help sell her home, and we wish you both all the very best moving forward!
Fantastic experience: Selling a house is a complicated process, and having someone who really knows the market and can navigate the procedures makes a huge difference. Abel Contreras clearly knows the local real estate market, and is thoroughly professional in his approach. And his team, especially Nicole Nilsson, made the process so much easier than it would have been without them. They get the job done.
Fantastic experience: Working with Abel, Tiffany, and Nicole at Invest SLO Real Estate has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. Abel is an exceptional realtor knowledgeable, professional, and deeply committed to finding the right fit for his clients. He makes every step of the process feel seamless and stress-free. Tiffany, the transaction coordinator, is incredibly organized and detail-oriented. She keeps everything on track and communicates clearly, making sure no step is ever missed. And Nicole is the glue that holds it all together. She helps facilitate the entire process with such grace and efficiency always proactive, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything runs smoothly. Together, they make an incredible team that truly cares about their clients. If you’re looking for a real estate group that combines expertise, integrity, and genuine care, Invest SLO Real Estate is the one to trust.
Negative experience: I just recieved a cold call from this company from a person named Ben. He asked me if I would like to take a look at a property in SLO. I stated to him that I do not invest in that area. he asked me where I invest and I told him where(3 hr away from the SLO area). I instructed him on our strict buying criteria and he complimented our company on our strategic purchasing requirements. He then sends us this "deal". Wow what a non deal it is. 1st their CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) uses properties that area a 25min drive time away from the subject property. The subject property in their "opinion" is valued(after repairs) $150k over the market in the area(we use a 5 mile raduis) for this type of property. They used the whole city. Real estate is 100% location based. People buy properties based on the location and what ammenties are in the area. I dont know what they thought they would sell my company but I told Ben on the phone I didnt want our time wasted as we get bad deals across our desk all the time. Just another realtor selling bad deals to investors. Learn to be honest not only with your retail clients but with your investor clients. An educated investor will figure your bad deals out in less than 5 minutes. Thanks for wasting my time.
Fantastic experience: This group was very professional and friendly. They expertly helped me sell my home which was in need of updating for more than my asking price. I recommend this group highly

Fantastic experience: I just want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all the hard work and dedication. Throughout the selling invest slo realitys agents coordinate this process, with professionalism and patience and expertise made to enter process and experience smooth and stress-free.

We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! Whether you’re looking to buy or sell a home in San Luis Obispo or Santa Barbara Counties, or just need expert real estate advice, we're always happy to help. Thanks again for putting your trust in us!
Fantastic experience: Hannah and the team at InvestSLO were amazing to work with! They helped my wife and I purchase our first home. Couldn’t have done it without them! They are professional, fast, thorough, responsive, and kind! They crush every detail of the process and made it special. 10/10 recommend!
Connor, thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure helping you and your wife purchase your first home here in beautiful San Luis Obispo. We know how exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) the home-buying process can be, and we’re so glad we could make it a great experience for you two. If you ever need anything or know someone looking to buy or sell a home in SLO County, we’d love to help. We wish you many happy memories in your new home!
Fantastic experience: This was the first time for me being on the sellers side. And my experience may be kind of unique. But I did not want to sell my house whatsoever. And unfortunately Hannah got put into a very uncomfortable position between me and my husband. Throughout this process I felt like Hannah always had my back. She empathized when I would let her know my heartbreak of letting my home go. It hasn't been easy. Hannah and her team acted with grace and kindness with me and was always offering help. I recommend Hannah highly. I don't think I could've gone through this trying time with anyone else.
Laura, thank you for allowing us the privilege to sell your home. It meant so much to us to be able to support you during this transition, and we’re truly grateful for the trust you placed in us. At Invest SLO, we believe that real estate is more than just business—it’s about showing up and supporting the wonderful people of the Central Coast, no matter the circumstance. If you ever need anything in the future, we’re always here for you.
Negative experience: I would give 0 stars if I could. Invest SLO has managed to hire Hannah and CJ who dont understand pop culture. As people who are supposed to have their pulse on what's relevant.....it sure does not show. Maybe try staying in your lane and stick to real estate when you maintain public profiles. I will never use this business for my real estate needs due to their actions.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Chelsea to my family or friends to represent them. She helped me purchase a home in Lompoc, CA. She is trustworthy, transparent, goes to bat for her clients and overall made the buying experience smooth with no hassle. If you are in the market to buy or sell. I would highly recommend you reach out! Thanks again Chelsea!

If you or anyone you know is looking to buy or sell in the area, we’d love to help. Keep in touch!
Fantastic experience: The Invest SLO Team was excellent throughout the entire buying process. My wife and I just bought our first home on land and their team helped answer SO many questions and was very helpful on items we didn't even think about. We kept asking questions and they were very prompt in their responses and never made us feel like we were bothering them which we greatly appreciated. I 10/10 would recommend working with them!

Fantastic experience: I have worked with this team a ton as one of their vendors and they make every job so smooth and easy. I also had the privilege of listing my home with Hannah and CJ and they are incredible realtors! The service, communication, and everything in between is unmatched. I highly recommend InvestSLO for any buying or selling real estate needs!

Fantastic experience: The team at SLO was great. They were knowledgeable in every stage and phase of our sell. Once we put the listing live we had several viable offers. We accepted an offer only about 9 days in. Kudos to Nicole, Hannah and Able, also their support staff who made things happen in the background.

Fantastic experience: Chelsea King was simply outstanding from start to finish. Couldn't be happier with her efforts. She found me just the right home and the perfect location. She was always responsive and timely with her responses. Extremely knowledgeable about the Central Coast and very helpful with any related questions I had. I would highly recommend her!! A+++ Jim Osborne

Chelsea’s responsiveness and expertise in the San Luis Obispo County real estate market are what make her such a valuable part of our team.

Fantastic experience: I had a really complicated transaction that needed to be completed quickly. I work full-time and needed a full service office that could handle everything. It was a rental that was occupied, and it was a 1031 exchange. Abel and his team took care of everything. The house sold quickly, for top dollar. I have some great friends that are agents and brokers, but I wanted somebody that had experience with this type of transaction. Well done CJ, Nicole, Abel and the InvestSLO team.
Fantastic experience: WOW. What a great team to work with both buying and selling. Top notch team. Highly recommend. Beyond all expectations!!!
Fantastic experience: Would give more stars if I could, Abel and his team are very professional. You can tell right away that these veteran agents know what they're doing. Great communication, very knowledgeable, reliable, and fast. We listed our house and 6 days later accepted an offer, they explained every step and were always ready with answers for any of our questions (even after business hours). Your home is in good hands if you choose this amazing team all the way to close.
Fantastic experience: I recently worked with Chelsea and her team, they were above and beyond professional, they helped pack, set up my home for sale, get me into my dream home unexpectedly quickly and were always available and accommodating even with my work schedule. The absolute best I’ve worked with, strongly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I am extremely grateful for the time, effort, and overall service Chelsea provided buying my very first home in SLO.

She remembered so many details about us and our wants in a home, and really showed she cared. Thank you Chelsea!
Fantastic experience: We had an incredible experience with Hannah Kraft and Abel Contreras selling our property. The house was listed on a Saturday and was sold eight days later for $60,000 over asking price. Their expertise in pricing, presenting offers and negotiating on our behalf was fantastic. They also helped us close in 20 days. Hannah kept us informed every step of the way. She was always available when we needed her. She also helped us arrange for an estate sale firm to liquidate our property. I can recommend her unequivocally if you need an exceptional realtor team. Abel Contreras and Hannah Kraft are your team.
Paul, thank you for the review and trusting us with the sale of your parent's home! Hannah and Abel were happy to help you sell your home for top dollar!
Fantastic experience: Invest SLO is "THE" team! They truly understand that a home purchase is an important decision and do everything in their power to bring all information to the buyer/seller without pressure. It was so refreshing to know it wasn't just about closing the deal, but about it being the right deal. For a young bunch they clearly know how to offer the best old fashioned customer service!
Tina, it was an absolute pleasure working with you the last 12 months! Chelsea and Abel couldn't ask for better clients!
Fantastic experience: We were very pleased with Brian and Hannah’s service selling our manufactured home in Morro Bay.

They are a great team and we would highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: It has been a fantastic experience working with Chelsea and the Invest SLO team. Chelsea's responsiveness and general knowledge of the ever changing market and area are top notch. If you're looking for an A+ realtor, she's very highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Out of all the realtors I've had the pleasure in doing business with, this has been by far, the most professional. Chelsea handle all my business before, during, and after. She was truly working on my behalf with my interest in mind and the availability on her part was just incredible. You're are not just getting her but you are getting a great team that stands behind her as well. I say this because in my situation I had an issue where I needed legal advice and she was able to reach out to her resources and handled it in the most professional way. This young team have my respect and full recomendation.
Fantastic experience: I have been in the industry for 20+ years so I have worked with 100's of agents and agencies. I have closed a few transactions with Brian Leypon and Hannah Kraft at Invest SLO and I say with full confidence they are some of the best. Super efficient and professional, as well as friendly and easy to work with. I strongly recommend Brian, Hannah and their team at Invest SLO.
Fantastic experience: I definitely recommend using Brian as your real estate agent. The knowledge he has made buying a home a smooth and easy process even when we competed with multiple offers. And his assistant Hannah was such a joy and there every step of the way when we had questions. 10/10 recommended
Fantastic experience: My experience with kwCENTRAL COAST Realtors was excellent and quite different compared other realtors used in the past. Low key, knowledgeable, trustworthy and aggressive in their sales process which resulted in almost an immediate sale of my home. I was fortunate to have the team of Brian and Hanna - try them, you will be glad you did! Allan MacKinnon
Fantastic experience: Chelsea and Hannah are quite a team. Smart, professional, energetic, and knowledgeable about the Central Coast. A pleasure to work with!!

Working with Chelsea and her assistant, Hannah, was a delight and an experience we will always remember and cherish.
Fantastic experience: Recently I bought my house with Jordan, I have never met someone who knows the market more than him.

Their knowledge and kindness in getting job done made it earlier for us . A special shout out to Chelsea for coordinating the entire process, very helpful also Hannah for her help. Thank You. Eric Petersen
Fantastic experience: Excellent company, and fantastic people to deal with.
Fantastic experience: Awesome real estate brokers and agents. I highly recommend these fine folks. They were awesome to have on our side.
Fantastic experience: I have worked with Abel’s team since the end of January/beginning of February. My house was on the market for maybe 10 days and we had multiple offers. I didn’t make it the easiest and asked them to work around my schedule (so I could get the pups out of the house for showings) and they were SO accommodating. Chelsea is who I worked with for a majority of this transaction and I could not be happier with the communication and Chelsea’s dedication to her client. She truly is the best. If I do end up looking for a house, I know who I am calling!
Fantastic experience: Chelsea has been great throughout the buying process. Always available and with up to date information! Communication has been A+++.
Fantastic experience: Jordan did everything he could to get our deal done, my wife and I are very appreciative of him and all his work as our agent. Chelsea, is a true pleasure to work with from start to finish. She goes above and beyond to make the home buying experience as easy as possible. She definitely is someone you want on your side because she will always negotiate and fight for your best interest! We are very grateful for this power duo and look forward to the next deal with them.
Fantastic experience: Enjoyed working with Abel and Chelsea. Good team. They work hard for you, keep you well informed during the process and make sure both parties are happy. Would definitely work with them again.
Fantastic experience: Abel Contreras and Chelsea King were an in unstoppable force in the sale of the family home. Chelsea kept us informed and focused each step of the way. She guided us, arranged resources and showed up to help from staging to final clean up. Abel was on top the sale process, heading off any problems during the short escrow.
Fantastic experience: Abel Contreras and Chelsea King helped me sell my investment property in Nipomo. They are the most professional and organized real estate team out here in the central coast. They helped us find and organized getting handymen and cleaners. Anything that was an issue Abel And Chelsea we’re on it. We couldn’t have asked for a better team. Thank you Invest SLO.
Fantastic experience: Working with Abel and his team was a great experience. They are knowledgeable, organized and communicated very well throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend them to everyone!
Negative experience: *disclaimer* this is not about Jordan Jackson's specific business, but since he did advertise openly that he was a real estate agent to us, I thought others interested in knowing his general character should have this info. It's a small town, connetions and respect matter. Jordan reached out to us to look at our home for personal rent. All of that was very respectful. However, said he would be present for a walk through at a certain time and place...no showed with no prior notice, and didn't respond when asked if he was coming after being over 30 min late. Perhaps he forgot, perhaps an emergency, I'd like to give hime the benefit of the doubt, but felt it poor form for a "professional" whose baseline task is communication and arriving when he says he will. Would not be enthusiastic to work with him if this is how he managed his client interactions.
Soq, we want to apologize on behalf of Jordan's behavior. We are terribly sorry you had an experience like this with one of our agents. We completely agree that respect, communication, and being impeccable with your word is everything in business and in personal affairs. In no way do we condone this type of behavior. Please understand this does not represent who we are a business. As a small business, we ask you from the bottom of our hearts to take this review down. We are working so hard to grow and this one bad review really diminishes our credibility.
Fantastic experience: Jordan Jackson is incredibly professional and is an outstanding agent. Anytime I have a question, he has the answer. He is always looking out for your best interest. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Chelsea assistant to Abel Contreas. I really can't say enough about them . T They made our selling process. Less stressful. If you want to sell or buy a ho.e. I would highly recommend d Investslo. You will not be disappointed.
