"Shawna and Ted and their team are fabulous to work with and I highly recommend them! We have bought and sold with them because of their high level of expertise as realtors and in the Southern California market, as well as taking the best care of their clients and their financial interests. You won’t find a better team to buy or sell your property!"

"My wife and I are very grateful for Ted and Shawna. I met Ted at an open house in 2017. He was so likeable that I asked him to help my wife and I get into a home. They helped us purchase a beautiful home in Carlsbad at an incredibly affordable price. Four years later they helped us to sell our home for a large profit. Ted and Shawna did a great job representing our interests as our agents, but they also did so much more. For example, when our washing machine broke down and the Home Warranty Company wasn't fixing it, I called Shawna and she contacted them. The next day they sent a repairman to our home and he fixed the washing machine. When we sold our home and weren't able to get moved out by the closing date, Shawna called the buyer and negotiated an extra week for us to get moved out at no charge. Ted and Shawna even came over and helped us move out. We've grown to trust Ted and Shawna over two real estate transactions. They are extremely honest, competent, and sincere. We are looking forward to working with them for our next real estate purchase or sale."

"Ted and Shawna make a great team together. While Shawna is super knowledgable about the contracts and paperwork in general, Ted is extremely helpful in understanding our needs (they represented us as buyers) and he made himself available whenever we needed him especially for touring homes. Despite both of our busy schedules, Ted and Shawna were always there for us and they didn't mind hopping on a quick call to answer any questions. After putting a few very strong offers, we were able to win on one of the homes we wanted! I would definitely recommend Ted and Shawna to my friends and family."

"Team Shawna went above and beyond selling my elderly aunts home . They cleaned her home and put her things in storage for me. Important papers and her computer they sent by UPS. They even went to skilled nursing home to bring her clothes! Since I am on the east coast and a pandemic was looming I wasn't traveling. They handled everything for me like if I was doing it myself! I highly recommend Shawna Ford Real Estate!"

"Ted did everything possible to assist us in finding just the right house for our family. We were working on a tight timeframe in a very competitive market here in San Diego County. He showed us homes that met our exact search criteria which saved valuable time and stress. He represented us all the way to closing, even in times of near total frustration due to last minute developments. He never gave up on us and continued our search without reserve. We could not have done it without Ted's commitment and support. Thanks Ted, we love our new home!"

"I had an exceptionally positive home purchasing experience with Ted. He is very professional, and having grown up in Southern California, has an in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market. I found Ted to be proactive in his approach and responsive to my real estate questions and needs. The home buying and selling process is seldom effortless and without challenges, but Ted really impressed me with his ability to overcome and resolve whatever obstacles we encountered. I would work with Ted again, and have no hesitation in recommending him as an agent."

"These people are great. selling a house from 1400 miles away can be a big hassle. But all of the headaches that came up they took care of right away and made it easy."
