"Iris is an outstanding real estate agent and a pleasure to work with. She was amazing during the entire process of listing and selling our rental condo in the UTC area of San Diego. She went above and beyond from the start preparing the unit for showings, and managing the entire process, from new carpet, cleaning, and even purchasing towels, soap dishes, etc. so the property would show well. She was excellent during the negotiation process and was extremely knowledgeable and professional. A few years later, we decided to upgrade another investment condo to a larger unit and once again she not only went above and beyond with the sale, but found us the new condo with dedication and determination by writing letters to all the building owners and was able to convince an owner to sell us their unit, that was not currently listed. It was a 1031 exchange, which complicates the transaction but once again everything went smooth. We referred Iris to our close friends that sold and purchased a new house and they had the same excellent experience with her. So much that when it was time for their parents to move to an assisted living home, Iris sold that home for them as well. She has also helped us with property management issues. We highly recommend Iris for all your real estate buying, selling, and managing."

"This was our first time working with Iris and let me tell you, we are so happy that we did! We had a complicated closing for a multitude of reasons. Iris’ experience and constant communication made this what easily could have been a nightmare into an experience we can look back on fondly. We would definitely work with her again and recommend her to everyone we know! Oh and an added perk, she is great with kids! Our daughter is in love with her :)"

"We purchased two and sold two houses with Iris and she is simply the best agent with whom we’ve ever worked. Her knowledge is unmatched and her ethics are unquestioned. Highly recommend using Iris."


- Ken Wahlster

"I had the pleasure to work with Iris for both the purchase of a new home and the subsequent sale of my prior home. She was fantastic to work with on both deals and really knew how to manage both sides of a transaction, which really needs separate approaches. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable of the market and was able to negotiate much more beyond just a price discussion. Lastly, she is so friendly and helpful professionally and personally and is just a genuinely good person. Iris will definitely be my go-to realtor for all future transactions and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. "

what to do to help write the best offer. Tenacious, tireless, and understanding… she
was in my corner of the whole way. I would recommend Iris to anyone looking Buy a
home in San Diego!"

"Working with Iris was the best experience I have had in a long time, she
understands the market in Solana Beach and was with us every step of the way. I
would work with her again in a heartbeat, if you do, you won't be disappointed."

- Kay Pinder

"Iris is a wonderful human being as well as a terrific realtor. We had agreed to buy a house she had listed contingent on her selling ours. Iris listed our home and had 3 offers to present to us within a couple of days after her first open house. We then could not bring ourselves to leave the house we had been in for 42 years. This represented a prospective big financial loss to Iris, but she could not have been more gracious. The deal fell through, of course. Iris understood immediately and accepted without question our position. She has since become a friend. If we should ever change our minds and decide to sell we will definitely ask Iris to be our realtor."

"Everything happens for a reason and I feel very fortunate that events and people were brought together at the most opportune moments. I happened to meet Iris Hirsch through happenstance. I am an interior designer for window treatments and I happened to meet a very pleasant woman one weekend. We built great rapport and during our consult, her sister called her and I'll never forget how well she spoke of me to her sibling, encouraging her to meet me and have me assist her as well with custom treatments. As it was a pleasure accomodating my client, I found Iris (the sister on the phone) to be an amazing person right off the bat. Working as an in-home consultant as well as business-to-business fulfills me with so many opportunities to grow and learn as a person as well as a career-oriented business woman just by opportunities such as meeting other people. Iris taught me so much as an entrepreneur that day as well as plenty of strategies to cope with the stresses of life. During our consult, I mentioned to her I was interested in purchasing a home, as I learned that she was a realtor. My husband and I have no regrets in making the decision of having her represent us. Iris Hirsch is one of the most protective, supportive, and encouraging people I have ever known. She fights for you. She defends you. And she protects you. She finds ways to make something work for you, even when it appears almost impossible. If something doesn't work, she finds out why. If something fails, her heart genuinely hurts. She emotionally intertwines with her clients and she does more than everything in her power to make things happen positively. Each client is a friend. Each client is family. She's honest, she admits her faults, she shines with her strengths, such as negotiation and making things happen or move along. She gives one thousand percent, she puts her heart out on the line, and works harder than most people I know. We didn't get the first two houses we placed offers on. But it's ok. The third one was the charm and we absolutely love it! Our destination of this home was meant to be. And Iris made this VERY stressful journey a bit more at ease, all due to her support. We came from circumstances where there were a million and one reasons for "challenges". Sometimes I find it crazy STILL that we are even at this place in our lives right now - HOMEOWNERS. But Iris made it happen. I truly believe that in my heart, she is the reason why. Today Iris is no longer our realtor. She's so much more. She's our dear friend and we'll always feel fortunate she's in our lives and the impact she's made. Thanks Iris!"

"We have worked with Iris buying and selling a couple of homes now. Every time we have done a transaction it has been very smooth and she was always on our side. 

If you are looking for a home I can say, Iris is one of the best and you will be in great hands."

- M. White

"Iris is an amazing realtor and coach. I've had the honor to be coaching with her for past 6 months and it's been so refreshing to work closely with an experienced realtor. Iris not only is a seasoned agent who's been through the ups and downs of many different cycles, but she also has the creative edge amongst her competitors. These days, realtors can seem like they all do the same things to market your property, however Iris and her team truly pushes the envelope with their attention to details. I highly recommend Iris to your realtor and/or coach if you're looking for someone who's truly commit to your success and makes the experience absolutely seamless and unforgettable!"

- A. Von Detten

"Iris Knows the Market!!   She is very responsive and gives Concierge Service her and her teams attentions to detail was second to none.   

I would highly recommend Iris!!"

- G. Cerullo

"We have owned California real estate investments since 1986 and experienced mixed results with various agents over the years for our sales and purchases. That changed in 2004 when we met Iris, who was amazing when we contracted her to sell one of our properties. Her commitment to the sale was unlike any other agent as she went above and beyond our expectations with every phase of the process: and selling faster and at higher amount than other agents suggested. Starting with a compressive marketing plan, taking full responsibility for everything from cleaning to staging in the beginning, demonstrating excellent negotiation skills during the offers phase, and commitment and dedication to the inspection and closing phases, where most agents tend to lose focus and prioritize there next opportunity. Since that first sale, we have worked with Iris on several other purchases and sales with great success and our proud to refer Iris to our friends and family, all who have had similar success stories in working with Iris. In addition to working with Iris during sales and purchases, she is always available for help with all property related issues, such as leases and property maintenance issues; which is a huge benefit for us."

- Van and Michiko

"It would be our great pleasure to recommend Iris Hirsh, to anyone in need of a great realtor. She was very attentive and accommodating in regards to our needs as a growing family. She gave us a variety of homes to consider as we were not entirely sure of what we were truly looking for, as first time home buyers. It helped that she was very knowledgeable in the business. She provided us with a wealth of information on the home buying process from the very beginning.  It helped that she had us meet with her prior to physically looking at homes, to review all the documents that would need to be signed, the timelines and key points that we would have gone into blindly otherwise.  When we found what we were looking for (just two weeks in), she worked her negotiating magic and ensured that our offer was competitive and within our budget. We were very impressed with her professionalism throughout the entire process, as she was checking in with us regularly through escrow. We felt as though we had a friend to call whenever there was an issue or if we just needed suggestions on something. She has checked on us here and there just to see how things are going with the house and the family. If and when we choose to move on to a new home, Iris will be our first call."
