Experiencia fantástica: Thanks to Joey Bergandi, we were shown that we can afford to be homeowners and be in a town where we didn't have to compromise.

Through his negotiating skills, knowledge for the market, persistency and reassurance, we got what is now home. Thanks Joey

Experiencia fantástica: We had the pleasure of working with Craig and he made the impossible possible! We had to quickly relocate because of work and Craig helped us every step of the way in our transition of selling our house.

He over communicates and truly makes sure you are comfortable with everything involved with the process. My first home buying experience was beyond smooth because of Joey.

Experiencia fantástica: As first time home buyers, we had no idea what we were doing or what we were walking into. Joey made the home buying process so simple and was available for any type of questions we had. He was honest and definitely didn't have that "salesman" demeanor that some realtors do. He kept us up to date with every step of the way, alleviating any anxious feeling about the home buying process. He also fought for us to get a great deal on our home and kept it real with us the entire time. 1 million/10 stars if it were possible!

Experiencia fantástica: Joey is awesome! This man will work endlessly to help you find a place to call home. He is always looking for places to fit your needs. Joey will work day and night to find you a home. I’ve never met someone with such determination and knowledge of the market.

Experiencia fantástica: Joey was wonderful to work with! As first time home buyers, he guided us through the home buying process seamlessly and was a wealth of knowledge. He was always available to answer our questions and clearly communicated all updates and next steps. Thanks to Joey, we purchased our dream starter home and got 100% of our closing costs covered. We would definitely recommend Joey to anyone looking to buy a home!

Experiencia fantástica: Joey is an excellent, and very knowledgeable realtor. My wife and I were able to ask him questions whenever we were unsure during the home buying process. I would give him more stars if google let me! 100% would recommend to anyone serious about buying.

Experiencia fantástica: Nothing but great things to say about Joey. Made the selling process of my home a walk in the park.

Experiencia fantástica: I am a Realtor from the San Francisco Bay Area. I recently referred a client to Joey for their first home purchase at Solana Beach, and I'm thoroughly impressed. Throughout the process, there were tricky moments and uncertainties, but Joey expertly guided my client, providing all necessary information and support. From navigating HOA complexities to securing loan approval, Joey displayed unwavering dedication and professionalism. His proactive communication ensured my client was informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Joey for his outstanding service and expertise in real estate transactions. Looking forward to future collaborations!

Experiencia fantástica: Kelly Cobb from the Velocity Realty group helped my wife and I buy our first home. She was amazing! Always responsive to our questions and concerns, helped us narrow down what we really wanted in a home, and walked us step by step through the whole home buying process. She got us our dream home within a month of looking in a very tough market. We have now been in the home for two months and could not be happier. I highly recommend Kelly if you are looking for a home in the San Diego area.

Experiencia fantástica: I had prior real estate agents who did not have my best interest. I went with Joey and was so thankful I did. Joey was such a huge help and was so attentive throughout the process of looking for a home. He was honest and made sure I was looking at the best options for me. Joey fought for me time after time and was a great person to have in my corner throughout the home buying process. I can’t thank him enough and am so excited to start this next journey as a homeowner. If you aren’t going with Joey, you’re wrong. You will not be disappointed Updating this review two years later because Joey and his team STILL do not miss. I purchased a home through Joey and his business two years ago. It was my first home and although buying a home especially for the first time, can seem like a lot and be stressful, Joey made the process so smooth for me. I really enjoyed working with him and so, when I wanted to sell my house two years later, I knew the only person to call was Joey. Joey got right to work by reaching out and ended up finding an off-market buyer for me. The house needed some renovating and Joey found someone who had his own ideas that he wanted to put to vision in the house. It worked out perfectly for all involved and again, the process was so smooth. Joey absolutely crushed it once again and I will forever be a client with him and Velocity. I said it once before but I’ll say it again, if you aren’t going with Joey when buying and/or selling, you’re wrong.

Experiencia fantástica: Navigating the market right now is insane, but Joey successfully helped me beat out multiple offers without stretching the bank. His advice along the way is invaluable, and his long term vision is exactly what a buyer needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely amazing! Joey is incredibly knowledgeable and always there to help when you have questions or concerns. Perfect fit if you are looking for someone who knows the industry and also has your back. So much love for Joey and his team, and all their hard work to make our dream a reality. The expertise of this crew made it a seamless process. We can’t thank you enough for all you and your team did for us!

Experiencia fantástica: So thankful for Joey and his team! They made buying our first home so quick and easy! He answered our hundreds of questions along the way and really educated us through the home buying process! Thank you for helping us make this house a home!

Experiencia fantástica: As a first time home buyer, I could not have asked for a better realtor than Joey Bergandi. Joey is a master of his craft and it truly shows when working with him. I was recommended Joey from a mutual friend who also purchased their first town house and now I will only ever recommend Joey for anyone looking to buy or sell properties. Joey was always available and one text or phone call away. When first meeting with Joey, he will set up an in person meeting where he goes over all of your specific needs so the home buying process is tailored to you. Afterwards, Joey goes to work in searching for properties both on and off the market. Joeys reputation and connections in the industry make his services far superior than anyone else’s. When it comes to negotiations, Joey is not afraid to ask for the world and makes sure his clients are satisfied with what they are purchasing. As a first time home buyer, Joey went above and beyond the typical job description of a realtor. Joey made the process of buying a home so easy and streamline that I would equate it to as simple as signing up for a gym membership. I could not have asked for better service or a better realtor. With Joey, you definitely don’t feel like just another customer but rather a family member he truly cares about. I can see why Joey is one of the leading people in his industry and it was truly an honor to work with someone like him. If you’re a first time home buyer like me or just looking to buy or sell more property, Joey is the best out there and you would be doing yourself a disservice by going with anyone else.

Experiencia fantástica: Joey was awesome. Recommended to me from a previous client of his and he did not disappoint. He was professional, knowledgeable and made the entire process a breeze. Super communicative and helpful. Could not recommend more!!

Experiencia fantástica: I remember hitting up Joey in 2020 when I was inquiring about the home buying process. Although I was not ready at the time, Joey was patient and answered all the questions. Fast forward to end of summer this year, I hit up Joey because I felt like I was ready to buy. At first, I didn’t know what to expect. Joey was there with me, answering all my questions and translating all the real estate lingo discussed between the real estate nerds to plain English. With his help, and his knowledge about patterns and trends, I was able to score on a new build in the area I was interested in. I got my dream home for a deal nobody could beat (really). I appreciate Joey for all his help, and I highly highly recommend doing business with him! 11/10 rating. Good job man!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great realtors, good communicators, kept me informed along the way. I definitely recommend them highly!!

Experiencia fantástica: Joey did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our home. His expertise was instrumental in determining a competitive purchase price. He was friendly, responsive, and very involved in all steps of the home purchasing process.

Experiencia fantástica: Joey and his team are amazing to work with! They make buying and selling a home seamless! Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Responsive, personable, communicative, dependable, knowledgeable — all qualities you are looking for in a realtor… and Joey exceeds in all areas! I am a first time homebuyer and we hit a few hurdles (on the loan side) but Joey was positive, uplifting and ALWAYS had my back. He felt like a friend! When searching for a property he always kept my best interest in mind considering all factors including location, safety, return on investment, literally everything. As expected, I was really nervous about the whole process but Joey explained everything in ways that I understand as someone with no experience. Additionally, he was able to negotiate a seller credit AND when it was all set and done, I closed with equity on my property. I HIGHLY recommend using Joey for your next home!

Experiencia fantástica: Deciding to buy a condo was a great decision, but working with Velocity Realty was an even better one. As a first-time homeowner, I was concerned I would be lost in the process, bogged down with real estate jargon, and taken advantage of by sellers. However working with Joey and his team made the process easy and stress free. Joey was communicative, always explaining things and quickly relaying important information to me. Joey was punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and an overall great guy. He diligently worked behind the scenes to get me what I wanted, and most importantly, he was honest which allowed me to make better choices. I will be recommending Velocity Realty to my friends and family so their home buying and/or selling process will be as enjoyable as mine :)

Experiencia fantástica: Joey is an outstanding real estate agent. He is professional, personable, a creative marketer and an excellent communicator. He expertly guides the seller through all the steps of the home sale process with the utmost attention to all details. Joey made the entire home selling process worry free for both my wife and myself.

Experiencia fantástica: Joey was great to work with and I highly recommend him as an agent.

Experiencia fantástica: Joey and Drew provided phenomenal support and guidance to my husband and I when we were buying our first home. They were in constant communication and let us know where we were at in every step of the process. We wouldn’t have been able to beat 15 other offers to stay in our neighborhood without Joey and Drew! We highly recommend them and Velocity Realty if you’re looking to buy or sell a home.

Experiencia fantástica: Recently used Joey as my realtor and I can't recommend him enough! Supportive and very responsive with any questions I had along the home buying process. As a first time home buyer it can be daunting but with Joey's help it was a smooth process. Joey found me exactly what I asked for and I couldn't be happier.

Experiencia fantástica: Joey is the most professional and best real estate agent I’ve ever worked with. We had to compete against multiple offers and Joey made it happen. Not only did he communicate extremely well, but he and his partners did a wonderful job setting expectations on what’s to come and navigated through some complex negotiations brilliantly. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Experiencia fantástica: Joey made my first home buying experience a BREEZE! He is very communicative and prompt to answer any questions. If it wasn't for Joey and his knowledge, I'd still be renting a small room. THANK YOU JOEY for making my home buying dreams come true. 5 STARS!

Experiencia fantástica: Joey and Drew were absolutely amazing! So professional so much knowledge and so eager to help their clients. They took their marketing skills to the next level and brought in strong buyers. Our house sold for $70,000 above asking and of course we couldn’t be more happy. We even closed early. They listened to our needs, they listened to our concerns, and were there for us through the entire process. In fact they even helped my husband move some furniture. That’s above and beyond! If I’m ever in the need for a new home in California there is no doubt that I will contact Joey and Drew again. I will definitely recommend velocity to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Experiencia fantástica: I am a first time home buyer. Joey and his team were extremely helpful, even during this scary market! They made it easy for me, took all the stress out of the process, and constantly kept in communication with me . If I buy a house again I will definitely be going with Velocity Realty! Made our dreams come true, Thank You!

Experiencia fantástica: Thanks to Joey my Family and I get to spend our Christmas as Homeowners! Joey was such a pleasure to work with, was always available day and night to answer questions. Our first home buying experience couldn’t have been easier or better!

Experiencia fantástica: I am not one to write reviews but this definitely deserves my time and effort. I first met Joey back in 2017/2018 when I first started looking to buy a home again. I was scared and unsure if buying a house was the right choice or even a smart move. Joey reassured me that it was. It wasn’t until 2019 that Joey helped me find that perfect home for my new chapter in life. Fast forward to 2021. During this pandemic and during the height of the housing market, Joey constantly stayed in touch with me, seeing how my family was and educated me on the housing situation. When I bought my first house with Joey, I made it clear that this place was only temporary and he fully understand. So when it came time to upgrade, Joey was there, not just as a realtor but as that older brother who will always look out for you. I never thought that with this insane housing market would I have sold one house and get into another. It was stressful for me but with Joey by my side I wasn’t worried one bit. Joey was always in communication with me, he would explain the process step by step so that I would have a clear picture and understanding of the process. At no time did I ever feel as if I was just a client with Joey. As a veteran, Joey is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to veterans using their VA. I can’t say enough about Joey and his professionalism as a realtor and as a person. If you are in the market to sell your home or buy a new home, you won’t go wrong with Velocity realty and especially Joey.

Experiencia fantástica: Truly a great realtor who cares about doing the right thing. Joey is an asset to any team acquiring real estate. We were glad that we had him on our team! He is smart, responsive and dedicated to his professional goals. Working with Joey was easy because his guidance was excellent.

Experiencia fantástica: Joey helped us both buy and sell when we were ready to move back east. My hopes were high and he always met my expectations. He is responsive, honest and super knowledgeable. A true pleasure to work to work with!

Experiencia fantástica: No one is better than joey at explaining step by step the real estate process. He is never too busy to answer any of my questions. Don’t let him being young fool you, he can handle any real estate problem that comes up. He is one of the best to work with in San Diego County.

Experiencia fantástica: Joey is dedicated when it comes to working hard for his clients. He worked constantly on finding a home for me for well over a year, and didn't stop until he found a home that fit all of my needs. Joey is a professional that will work hard to get you the best deal on the best terms available. I look forward to seeing the great success coming his way at Velocity Realty.

Experiencia fantástica: Joey is very knowleadgeable, down to earth, and very straightforward. He was consistantly giving us updates and great advice along the way. Would definitely use again in the future.

His negotiation skills got us the house at the right price, and navigated the escrow process seamlessly. We couldn't have had a better experience with Joey and his team. Look no further for your next realtor!
