Swell Property Inc.

Experiencia fantástica: Michele Larkin was a super hard working, patient, and smart agent. I was so impressed with her communication skills and always felt in the loop and heard. She worked with our changing schedule and updates to the type and size of property we were looking for. She’s the best agent for first time home buyers! In addition to all of the qualities you would expect in an amazing agent—patient, smart, understanding, and always available—Michele also has a great way of walking into a space and making everyone her friend which really takes the pressure off during open houses and private showings. Michele made the process of looking for and buying a house so smooth, even though we were more than two hours away from the properties we were looking at, and we are so grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: Swell lives up to their name and beyond! From my first interaction with Tyler to discuss property management, I knew I was with the right company. A meeting and tour of the home were arranged immediately, where I was also able to meet Dana. From then, anything that was needed to rent the house was handled! From market research and comps, photos, advertising, vetting tenants, interfacing with the HOA, and fielding myriad questions from an anxious homeowner, Tyler has absolutely excelled. He continues to be communicative, informative, available and a really nice human! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Swell to anyone seeking their services.

Experiencia fantástica: Great company to work with one leasing a property. I would definitely lease with them in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been working with Swell Property Management since 2019, and they've been fantastic. Dana and Tyler are responsive, professional and great to work with. Highly recommend them for property management services.

Experiencia fantástica: We had a great experience working with Kevin Osborn from Swell Property as my Mom's Realtor. Downsizing and selling a longtime home can be emotional and overwhelming, but Kevin handled everything with patience and professionalism. From the very beginning, he took the time to explain each step clearly, making sure my mom felt comfortable with every decision. Kevin understood that this was a major life transition and approached things that way with my Mom. He went above and beyond to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, coordinating details and keeping us informed every step of the way. Thanks to Kevin's expertise, my Mom's home sold quickly and at a great price. More importantly, she felt supported and cared for throughout the entire journey. I would definitely recommend Kevin to anyone, especially families helping senior loved ones navigate the sale of a home.

Experiencia fantástica: I am over 80 years of age, and my realtor, Kevin Osborn, was instrumental in helping me downsize from a 2500 sq. ft. home to one of 1200 sq. ft. in just 6 weeks. In the downsize process, Kevin had tremendous resources for consignment, donation and out right sale of my belongings. More importantly, Kevin approached the process with patience, kindness, understanding and, at times, humor as well. Kevin’s knowledge of the market was thorough, and his resources for staging and marketing my home led to a smooth transition into my new home. Ultimately, Kevin expertly negotiated with 3 interested buyers, which ensured that I received the maximum value for my home. I wholeheartedly recommend my realtor, Kevin Osborn at Swell Property, for he handled every step of my move with compassion, professionalism and integrity, thus making a difficult process feel manageable and positive. Thank you, Kevin! Lynn

Experiencia fantástica: Dana Clymer is our property manager for a rental home in Encinitas. She has been extremely professional right from the start of the process. She really understands the marketplace, provides the council we need, and gets great results quickly. Dana shows a level of care as if it were her own home. We know we’ve selected the best property manager and highly recommend her.

Experiencia fantástica: Dana and Tyler have spoiled me! They professionally handle ALL the details while keeping me regularly up to date. I don’t have to give my property a second thought! Swell properties is better than swell…they are AWESOME!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had a wonderful experience working with Swell Properties. Dana, the property manager, is extremely detail-oriented and always ensures the rentals are in top-notch condition. It’s clear she truly cares about the homes she manages and the people she works with. She is professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about maintaining the quality and condition of your property, I highly recommend working with Dana at Swell Properties.

Experiencia fantástica: Dana and her assistant, Tyler, have done a phenomenal job for us regarding the entire process of readying our two properties to put on the rental market. Finding comps, doing professional photos, advertising, and finding and vetting the perfect tenants are all in their wheelhouse. They also take care of all aspects of the lease procedures including move-in and move-out operations. We are pleased with their professionalism and accountability and look forward to working with them again.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve used Swell Property now multiple times for my real estate transactions and could not recommend them more. Working with Ben and Kevin during a challenging market was a great decision. From the beginning, they were honest, strategic, and incredibly knowledgeable about how to position my property to stand out despite tough market conditions. They provided clear guidance, communicated proactively, and were very professional. In the end, we successfully sold my home and I truly believe it wouldn’t have happened without their expertise and dedication. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell—especially if you are navigating a competitive or uncertain market conditions.

Experiencia fantástica: I stayed for almost 3 months I have been doing this for over 10 years at various locations on ocean front walk This was the best ever and the weather was great to complement the great place

Experiencia fantástica: Swell properties did not disappoint. 1305 Neptune Ave is within a short walking distance to watch the sunset and surfers, restaurants and coffee shops as well as a bakery. Encinitas is a safe wonderful coastal town ,home of Moonlight Beach. The apartment is spacious and well stocked. I give it a fabulous thumbs up. A. Johnson 2026

Experiencia fantástica: David Volt at Swell properties suggested a location in Encinitas CA for a vacation rental. We couldn’t have been happier. David was always available when we had questions and always polite and professional. Would recommend David at Swell properties for anyone looking for a vacation rental. William Johnson

Experiencia fantástica: KC is hands down the best realtor we could have asked for. We bought our house about four months ago and I will only recommend him to anyone buying in the area. Before we even started seriously looking, he spent an entire weekend just driving us around different neighborhoods so we could get a feel for what we actually liked. He never once tried to rush us or push us into something. He always made sure we understood the pros and cons of every neighborhood and every house. When we toured homes, he looked at everything through the lens of an inspector. Because of his experience with flipping houses and construction, he caught things we never would have noticed and gave us incredibly valuable insight. He also had great recommendations and a strong network of inspectors and vendors. We had countless phone calls where he talked me through decisions, and I never felt pressured. If anything, he encouraged us to wait until we truly found the right house, even if that meant it took longer for him to close a deal. That meant a lot to us. He was part realtor, part life coach during this process. We were buying from hours away and were brand new to the area, and he went above and beyond — going to open houses for us and sending super detailed video tours with really helpful commentary. He also made house tours fun and easy, which helped so much during what can be a stressful process. Even after closing, he helped coordinate work on the house and helped get everything move-in ready before we got to town. We love our new home and neighborhood, and truly couldn’t have been happier with our experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Dana was absolutely amazing! There were a few challenges along the way and you could not have scripted a better response to them. Her display of care and efficiency should be modeled. We are very grateful to have had th opportunity to work with her.

Experiencia negativa: We stayed at one of Swell’s “luxury” rentals and it was in very poor condition. Moldy and dirty patio furniture, filthy BBQ, broken amenities (pool table netting, TVs, sports equipment), mold in the shower, mouse traps in a kitchen drawer, and a rusted table that stained our clothing. The property manager called once after checkout, said he’d follow up, then stopped responding. This was not close to the standard advertised or what we paid for. Very disappointing experience.

Experiencia fantástica: David with vacation rentals is outstanding! He went above and beyond what I would have expected. I would highly recommend working with him!

Experiencia fantástica: I've worked with Dana many times. Always courteous and professional. Highly recommend working with Swell because.....they're Swell!

Experiencia fantástica: I hired Swell property management to rent one of my units Near the beach in Encinitas. Allow me to share that this company puts their heart into their work with vast experience renting & leasing Rental properties. I have owned North County Beach properties for almost 30 years and without a doubt, Swell property management has done the best job of all. Dana Clymer Is in charge of the property management division of this company, and I can’t say enough good things about her! From start to finish, she was professional, courteous and results oriented. I highly recommend Dana and the team at Swell property management and real estate, for your property needs!

Experiencia negativa: They don't treat prospective renters very well.

Experiencia fantástica: We’ve bought and sold properties over the past 10 years through Swell Property and have had a wonderful experience. This company is invested in the community and you feel like you are part of their “Swell” family when working with them. I would recommend any Swell agent! .

Experiencia fantástica: Justin Kurtz helped me sell a house and buy a new one. I absolutely loved working with him! His expert knowledge in construction made me feel very safe and supported in my choices. Justin worked tirelessly on both deals and I wouldn't have wanted to do this with anyone else. Buying and selling a home is such a big event and he made the whole process so much easier. Love his enthusiasm and professional knowledge. Thank you Justin!

Experiencia fantástica: Justin’s extensive construction background combined with his passion & expert knowledge of the real estate market proved invaluable during our buying & selling experience. He saved us from making some expensive mistakes as well as guided us to towards successful deals. We highly recommend Justin’s insight for both buying & selling.

Experiencia fantástica: We have work with Swell multiple times. We come back to them because they are very good at what they do. Explaining, educating, searching and really doing their job. They take it personal and go above and beyond to make the best financial deal for you. Also they make sure you don’t make bad investments or risky decisions. As oppose to other real estate brokers, they work for you. Our agent is Justin Kurtz. He is a class action and represents all of the above.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent place to for all your Real Estate needs> Professional and respectful with terrific communication skills

Experiencia fantástica: Hi, My daughter and I met Justin and his partner at an open house and we immediately formed a bond and business relationship. My daughter and her husband decided that Justin and Peter were the correct partners to help them purchase a home. Justin and Peter guided my daughter and her husband throughout the whole process of purchasing a new home and the negotiations that go along with it. Justin is still available with any post move questioning. If you are thinking of purchasing a new home use this team.

Experiencia fantástica: Kudos to David Miller and his team at Swell Properties. As a client and a person who worked for years in the North County real estate community, I’m impressed by the personalized care and excellent customer service offered by David and his group. In a business where customer service is paramount, the complete client care, from sale to purchase to property management, Swell Properties is the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Chris Demolski helped us find the perfect home and navigated us through a successful purchase and close of escrow. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, he knows the market well and is always available for questions

Experiencia fantástica: I worked with Swell agent, Danny Gibbel, and it was an excellent experience. Danny was extremely knowledgable, accommodating, and diligent. It was a pleasure to work with him. In a competitive market, Swell helped me find my dream property and the closing process was fast and easy. I will definitely be working with Danny and Swell for any future property needs I may have.

Experiencia fantástica: The Swell team is top notch across the board. Anyone with a real estate need in the area should ABSOLUTELY make a point to touch base with Swell and give them an opportunity. Our family has been so pleased to work with them.

Experiencia fantástica: Danny at Swell Property is the best! Found the perfect home, he was very organized and responsive. Will definitely work with him again in the future!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience working with Danny to find our dream home

Experiencia fantástica: The team at Swell is everything we were looking for in terms of professionalism and expertise in the North County San Diego market. We relied heavily on David Miller and Ben Hamady for the both the purchase of our new home in Leucadia as well as the sale of our old home in Cardiff. Our expectations were exceeded in both transactions. Swell’s guidance through difficult market conditions as well as their connections to everyone living in it were invaluable. Can’t say enough. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: We love Swell! They are so friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We had a A1 experience finding our rental Thank you Swell!

Experiencia fantástica: I used Danny Gibbel to buy my house in Encinitas right near Moonlight beach. Best decision of my life.

Experiencia fantástica: If you like to support local businesses, Swell Property should be your first stop for any real estate needs. David Miller and his team of agents know the market well, but they are also super cool to work with, which makes it fun. They sold my friends house in less than 2 weeks!

Experiencia fantástica: Chris was awesome to work with. He helped us get the property ready for sale & got it sold quickly. I would definitely work with Chris again in the future!

Experiencia fantástica: We’re so grateful to be working with Chris with Swell Property to find our first home! He’s been available to us at all hours and encourages us to continue the search even when there aren’t plentiful on the market. He is professional and knowledgeable and we are grateful to have him on our team during this process!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Chris Demolski was the best decision when looking at real estate properties to buy our first home. He was determined to find the best fit neighborhood for us (e.g., walking distance to parks, coffee shops, grocery stores, etc) as that was our biggest priority. Chris is professional and understands how personal buying a home is! We would work with him again and again as well as recommend him to anyone we know looking to buy/ sell property.

Experiencia fantástica: We are so thankful for working with Chris and his team. Chris is knowledgeable, loyal, listens, and is always available for any questions that we have. They are professional and friendly. We will ask for Chris’ assistance on our next transactions.

Together we found the perfect place (complete with a doggie door). I would highly recommend this professional and efficient team for anyone looking to buy or rent in the Carlsbad/Encinitas area. Thanks again.

Experiencia fantástica: The Swell property management team, especially Dana, provide top notch communication! I feel confident referring all of my clients to Swell for all of their property management needs.

Experiencia fantástica: I have used Swell property for several years for the Management of my beachfront units. Dana consistently provides excellent results, timely reporting and most importantly- long term, well qualified tenants.

Experiencia fantástica: Dana Clymer is an awesome property manager at Swell property. She is professional, responsive and patient. I appreciate the ease of communication as she follows up or takes the proactive approach when dealing with any issues. I've worked with several property managers in OC and SD, Dana is one of the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Very helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: I don't even know where to begin with how incredible Tim Shepstone has been through our first home buying experience! A mutual friend referred him to my husband and I, and when they raved about him we figured we were in good hands- but my goodness, we have been in the BEST hands. We started the conversation virtually before we moved down to San Diego, then met in-person (socially distant- he was always very safe with mask, etc.) and started the process of looking for our home. I could make this review extremely long because of my highest regard for Tim, but I will try and stick to the main points. While searching for a home and us all sending links back and forth he was always very honest- never fluffing anything up, but always straight. Even when we would be over the moon about a house, he would always give pros and cons and recommend seeing it in person- and sometimes telling us it might not be worth it because of x, y, or z. We trusted him 100% through the entire process- even when we were anxious about certain lender or offer situations, he always remained steady and calm guiding us through to the other side. He told us we were put through the wringer more than most normal home buying situations (nothing ever his fault) and because buying a home is rarely stress-free, there is no one we could ever recommend more than Tim to guide you through. Oh, did I mention he also has an incredible eye for design and what I would consider expert knowledge for renovations since he does full rebuilds himself?! This guy seriously knows it all! He met us at our now home in Leucadia and gave us layout concept ideas, best fix ideas, and quality suggestions that we have been SO grateful for! He even walked us through our inspection report and we felt so much better knowing what was a major issue and what was just the age of our home- anything he didn't 100% know he would refer us to who would. Lastly and most importantly, he found us our beautiful first home west of the 5 in LEUCADIA for a great price during a crazy covid market! We can walk to the beach in 10 minutes and like he told us when we were first looking at this house, "I would be super surprised if you don't absolutely love where you live when you walk around your neighborhood"....well, our hearts are practically pumping out of our chest we love it so much! We have begun renovating and decorating and making it our home sweet home, and we couldn't be more grateful for Tim. From initial contact, to searching, making offers, buying, closing, and even incredible support and communication afterwards- he's your guy. If anyone deserves a glowing 5-star review and your business and trust, it's him.

Experiencia fantástica: I recently worked with KC and the Swell team on my home purchase in North County San Diego and couldn’t have been happier with my experience. The entire Swell team was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole process fun! Their local knowledge was impressive and I could tell they take pride in their community. I would highly recommend Swell Property to anyone looking for a team knowledgeable about all the ins and outs of North County and that has their client’s best interest in mind.

Experiencia fantástica: David Miller and the Swell Property team provide a professional & solid real estate experience both from the seller perspective as well as the buyer. If you’re seeking to sell your home or to purchase your next home, I encourage you to contact David. My experience was beyond swell . . .

Experiencia fantástica: We had the pleasure of working with Alissa while looking for a home in the Temecula area. She was incredibly patient with us being very picky and always went the extra mile for us, including into some remote locations off the beaten path! Very friendly and caring with our kiddos as well even though they were a bit of a disaster at times! We would highly recommend Alissa and the team at Swell, it was a wonderful experience. We will definitely use them for any future needs!

Experiencia fantástica: Props to the amazing team at Swell. Their local contacts and market knowledge were instrumental in making our dream home purchase a reality. They helped us navigate through some complex issues and saved us from some costly mis steps. It felt really good to have Swell’s curated network of experts at our disposal every step of the way. We were very impressed with Swell’s services and highly recommend them!

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I worked with Alissa McQuestion who was nothing short of amazing,driven and patient. Looking for our first home to buy and unsure in what exact areas we could afford was no easy task. There were alot of week days and weekends spent driving around looking at so many house in so many locations. I truly couldn't believe how dedicated and selfless Alissa was with her time and research in helping us find our first home. After alot of work, and looking at alot of homes we found a place! Alissa helped us find a home we only dreamped we could have later on in our lives. We are so grateful to Alissa and all of her tremendous amount of time and effort. We have lived for 7 happy years now in a wonderful place she helped us find and that we are proud to call home.We absolutely will be using Alissa again in our future and highly recommend her.

Experiencia fantástica: We have use Swell property for both of our home purchases and can’t recommend them enough. Alissa was our realtor on both. Alissa and The whole Swell team were so professional and understanding.

Experiencia fantástica: We're long-time Encinitas residents and have used now used Swell Property to sell a house, buy house, and to find & rent us a house when we were in-between. I've recommended Swell to a number of my friends, so thought it appropriate to leave a review here as well. Swell has an extremely strong knowledge of the local market and the ability to expertly guide you through whatever situation you might encounter. I've been really impressed with everyone on the team that I've interacted with; our agent team (Tim and Allison Shepstone) the owner (Erik), and our Property Manager (David).

Experiencia fantástica: We have had such a great experience with David Miller and the Swell team for almost 20 years! We have done 6 transactions with David... selling property, buying a main residence and buying rental properties and we have had them do the process of finding tenants for us. I can't say enough nice things about Swell. You will be satisfied with their knowledge and experience and response.

Experiencia negativa: They dont post all the property on line

Experiencia negativa: The conduct of this company was so unprofessional I actually checked their licenses. They checked out, but I would still warn against doing business with Swell Property. They wasted an incredible amount of my time and would not respond to simple questions about the property without me giving my application with the fee, my social security number, and all. My friend had a similar experience. I don't understand why they'd behave this way because I was willing and able to make the deal. Beware..

Experiencia fantástica: SWELL Property is a unique, one-of-a-kind real estate experience. Sure, they offer real estate listings that appear in multiple places, but it's the attention to detail, the exceptional customer service, and the friendly, knowledgeable team that makes the difference. Their website is hip (although it wasn't fully functioning the other day when I was doing a search), but again, it's the knowledge of the area that makes for a great experience. Lastly, the people are what make the magic. Ask for Eric or David and know they’ll treat you well, because their knowledge & experience are top notch!

Experiencia fantástica: I have used Swell for multiple purchases and property sales. Swell helped my family get a record price per foot in my neighborhood in Encinitas at the time and exceeded expectations. I have recommended them to family and friends to see the same results. Catch the Swell wave now.

Experiencia negativa: Wouldn't recommend. Not accommodating. Push to get responses but not timely in providing response.
