Vast Knowledge

“Katy Kingery and Ron Greenwald are two people who truly care! They are the most generous with their vast knowledge in not only real estate, but all the facets connected!

Absolutely Recommended

“When you hire Ron Greenwald and Katy Kingery of the Greenwald Realty Team to list and sell your home, you are getting two incredibly valuable resources for the price of one. Katy and Ron complement each other and represent an extremely professional, knowledgeable, experienced, patient and caring team. They do everything in their power to sell your home quickly at the best price while trying to simplify the process and reduce stress as much as possible from an experience that can be overwhelming, especially for elderly people. You feel like you have two great friends and partners to counsel and help you every step of the way. Their responsiveness and kindness is hard to believe. Would I recommend them? Absolutely.”

Made my life easier

“My mother had lived in her Fallbrook home for half a century. As Successor Trustee for her estate after she recently passed away, I consulted with a fiduciary, who provided a short list of recommended Realtors; among them, Greenwald Realty Team. I chose Ron Greenwald, owner of GRT, because I determined they would be the best fit, based on the size, price, and location of the property. They were. The process went very well. In preparing the property for an “as is” sale, GRT facilitated several key aspects, including carpet cleaning, tree trimming, and termite inspection/repairs. The 1970s-era home, which sits on a large lot, sold very quickly and at a good price, thanks in part to Ron’s astute pricing strategy and negotiating skills. Ron knew the ins and outs of a trust, and understood the process well. I appreciated everything he did to make my life easier. The entire team did a good job from start to finish.”

High Level of Integrity

“After working with Ron Greenwald and Greenwald Realty Team on several transactions, I can say with confidence that they are the best agent/broker I have ever used. As a CLPF, my duty as Trustee is to act in the best interest of the Trust and beneficiaries. Ron and his team do the same. They exhibit a high level of integrity and are conscientious and tenacious. I cannot say enough about their professionalism and industry knowledge. Recently, I was responsible for selling a trust property that was built in the early 1900s and suffered from years of deferred maintenance. Working amid COVID restrictions, Ron and his team successfully resolved all the issues, conducted research to assess fair market value, and coordinated several offers within a very short time period; all while providing me with constant communications and support. To top it off, Ron negotiated effectively with the opposing broker to garner an offer that was almost double the listing price!”
