Lenna is wonderful at what she does! She found us the perfect, off-market home, during a time when there was very low inventory in the neighborhood we wanted to move to. She was easy to work with and fun to spend time with!

Lenna was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our Del Mar home purchase. She was knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and always had our family’s best interests in mind. Even when unexpected challenges arose, she remained calm, professional, and solution-oriented. What impressed us most was her ability to build trust and bring everyone together through a complex family decision. We always felt informed, supported, and confident because of her guidance. We are grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend Lenna to anyone looking for a thoughtful and exceptional real estate professional.

We used Aumann realtors to sell our home in San Marcos. Their photography is exceptional. Their marketing is top-notch. Their motivation to make a deal is unparalleled. We sold our home at asking price during a challenging market and a tenuous escrow. Would definitely recommend.

Rob, Ty, and Joy at LUXURYSOCALREALTY were amazing. We’ve known them as neighbors for years and we were confident they would be the right team to be our La Jolla realtor and La Jolla listing agents to help us sell our condo. They performed with the utmost professionalism and walked us through every phase of the process. Prior to listing, they brought a buyer to us with an offer that we quickly accepted and we closed in three weeks. We couldn’t be more pleased. This is an exceedingly strong team that we highly recommend to anyone looking for assistance in buying or selling a home in the Southern California market.

We were searching Google for a San Diego real estate agent to sell our luxury home and found Rob and Ty Aumann. The reviews were favorable and led us to inviting him to our home to discuss their approach to marketing. We liked all that was shared in terms of their strategy, pricing and most importantly, their focus in delivering on our particular needs. We had an open house kick off weekend which drew tremendous interest and within days, secured five offers. They explained each offer and shared their perspective. We selected the offer that best met our needs and situation. Three weeks later we seamlessly closed on our home and purchased another as we were relocating. If you want true professionals that will respect you and your home as well as be there every step along the way, we highly recommend contacting Team Aumann at Luxury SoCal Realty.

Best San Diego Realtor! My husband and I can not speak highly enough about our experience with Rob Aumann. Travelling from across the country we had so much to learn about southern California and San Diego in particular. Rob has a wealth of knowlege regarding all the neighborhoods, beaches, schools, restaurants and even which gyms are the best. Rob was very attentive to our particular needs and our wish list for our future home. He was so patient with all of our questions and concerns, and very responsive no matter when we reached out to him. We toured many homes, each of which Rob was able to discuss pros and cons of each property and we never felt rushed or pressured at all. Rob really goes above and beyond to make his clients happy and we are so fortunate to have found such a professional, hard worker realtor who keeps his clients updated thoughout the entire buying process. Even after we closed on our amazing property in La Jolla, Rob reached out to us to make sure we had everything we needed. Rob Aumann is your man if you want the best San Diego realtor around!

Working with the Rob was an exceptional experience from start to finish. As an attorney, I was particular as to who could be trusted with a significant deal. It’s known, but La Jolla’s real estate market is highly competitive, and having a knowledgeable, trusted advisor made all the difference. Rob brought a deep understanding of the neighborhoods, schools districts, and property values, which gave me confidence in every step of the process. What impressed me most was the personalized approach. Rather than showing dozens of listings at random, every property was carefully chosen to fit my needs. Each tour came with valuable insight into the community, schools, and long-term investment potential. I always felt guided, never pressured, and knew I was in capable hands. When it came time to submit an offer, Rob and his team showed exceptional negotiation skills. I felt heard. They were strategic, professional, and determined to secure the best possible outcome. Even after closing, Rob continued to be a resource, offering trusted referrals and advice. If you want a San Diego asset who combines expertise with genuine care, I cannot recommend anyone higher. Truly the top San Diego Realtor in La Jolla.

Before I met Jamal five years ago, I was quite skeptical of realtors in general. But Jamal completely changed my perspective. Not only did I purchase two properties with him (four doors total), but I also built a genuine friendship and lasting connection. Being a great realtor isn’t just about finding you a house you like—it’s about guiding you to make the right decision. Jamal never pushes properties just to close a deal. In fact, there were times when I was ready to make an offer, and he advised me against it. Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful for his honesty and foresight. He’s patient, deeply knowledgeable about the market, and has strong connections—not only among other realtors but also with professionals who support you after you’ve purchased a home. He’s creative, detail-oriented, and—something that’s very important to me—always on top of everything. Jamal consistently makes you his top priority. I consider myself lucky to have crossed paths with him.

Lenna was absolutely excellent. This is the second time we have utilized her expertise in finding a residence in San Diego. We are victims of the Eaton fire in Pasadena and loss everything. We temporary relocated with our son who Lenna secured a lovely townhouse a few years earlier. She had to deal with clients who were obviously experiencing tremendous stress trying to locate a second forever home. She expertly handled everything including contributing funds to help us temporarily. Trust her, we have twice and will continue to do so.

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Robert and Joy approximately one year ago. Since that time we have closed on two transactions spearheaded by both of them. We have found them to be knowledgable, determined, tireless, and will clearly go the distance for their client. They are well respected within the brokerage community and that respect helped us in securing both residences. We strongly recommend both Robert and Joy.

I hired Robert & Joy Aumann to manage two trust sales for me. They were referred to me by a top agent in my community who knew they had the expertise to handle these transactions. Rob & Joy are both great communicators who were quickly responsive. I appreciated the depth of knowledge they have about the San Diego market & their ability to bring in qualified buyers. Both houses sold quickly after receiving multiple offers. Each transaction went smoothly thanks to their expert advice. Were I to do business in San Diego again, Rob & Joy would be my go-to agents.

We are glad to have worked with the Rob & Joy Aumann team. They took care of hiring professional inspection, mitigation, painting, and staging of the condo immediately right after the tenant left. Rob had been very accessible and immediately answered emails and texts within minutes. We accepted an offer in 15 days and closed 32 days after it was listed. This was not stressful since everything was done by Rob and his team while we lived in TX and never set foot in La Jolla. We'll contact their team again if we ever decide to go back to San Diego.

We were searching for a realtor in the PB area of San Diego. We’re based in Northern California so it wasn’t easy for us to get out to the SoCal area to look at prospective properties. After a quick search online, we found Rob and Joy at Luxury SoCal Realty in La Jolla. Rob and team quickly found several properties in the area within our budgeted price range. They made the whole process easy, smooth, and painless. Rob visited several properties that we were interested in and did a live video tour giving us his insights on each property we considered. Once we chose the property, Rob quickly put an offer together below asking based on what he believed the market dictated. After a bit of negotiation, our offer was accepted below their initial asking price. We bought our unit sight unseen. During the closing process, we had a chance to visit the property. Rob had an interior decorator and contractor ready at our unit to discuss our remodel plans. His network of connections are vast and we were happy to leverage it. Post sales, Rob continues to support our remodeling efforts making himself available to provide the keys and access to our unit when needed as well as follow up with our contractors.

We just closed escrow on a condo in La Jolla with the help of a really great real estate team - Rob and Joy. We met them through a mailing where they had sold a condo like the one we were selling. We interviewed several listing agents from four different brokerages and chose Rob and Joy because they were prepared and had a marketing plan. We were not disappointed. Every step of the selling process was done professionally and on time. They did what they said they would do and our condo sold quickly. We could not be more happy with our home selling experience. We highly recommend Rob and Joy and their team at LUXURYSOCALREALTY.

I recently had the opportunity to work directly with Compass La Jolla agents Rob and Joy Aumann. As top realtors in San Diego they got an amazing $175,000 over list price on a property before it was Active on MLS. It's apparent that a seller marketing plan to list property with all of the right components, staging, advertising, marketing, and membership to the La Jolla brokers association REBA is imperative to success in a changing market

To whom it may concern, In reference to Anne Virjee and her many talents I know not where to begin. She represented us and handled the sale of my home in Carlsbad this year. And in a crazy, ever evolving market she got us top dollar, multiple offers and a very thorough and smooth transaction. She is ethical, knowledgeable, a creative thinker and a savvy negotiator. Feel assured you're being represented by an experienced professional with years of expertise under her belt. I trusted her to work in our best interests and she came through in spades. Not to mention she is a lovely and generous lady with a great attitude and demeanor. In this uncertain real estate market you can feel certain that Anne Virjee will get the job done! Yvette Valencia

I received a card in the mail for Rob & Joy saying they were Real Estate Agents and if I was interested in selling a property they could do it. I called Rob and spoke with him at the time I was unable to meet him to show the property so my son met with him. After that he phoned me and we talked about the property and what he could do to help us sell it. Though we never met I had a very good feeling and good vibes so my husband and I decided to give him a shot. At the same time we were in the process of buying another home out of state which buying and selling at the same time was very stressful. Rob & Joy were amazing they were in daily contact with us made some selling options of staging our home which we agreed to within one day Yes! one day our home sold. Everything went smoothly they kept us well informed. Rob met with a handyman and saw to a repair being I was out of town. They were professional and communication was amazing. I would highly recommend them. I wish them the best of luck.

And, probably most importantly, she and her team make it happen, they get you in a home, which in this current housing climate, is truly a miracle.

if you ever need an agent who is professional, knowledgeable, respectful, attentive to detail, diligent, resourceful, reliable, very accessible and listens to all of your concerns and requests, then Dana DeCore at Compass is the person for you. Real estate transactions are stressful times and are never easy nor convenient. Something always comes up that poses as a potential problem or obstacle at some point during the process. I must say that this time around, Dana's attention to detail and proactive management made this go through seamlessly. Her suggestions and guidance along the way whether big or small, made all the difference on how this played out. She is the consummate professional! We were quite fortunate to meet Dana and we will definitely reach out to her on our next transaction. Thanks so much Dana!

To say we got lucky finding Dana DeCore is an understatement. After a referral to Rob and Joy, Dana was recommended to help us find our home and little did we know how lucky we were! Buying a home in a ‘normal’ real estate market is stressful, let alone buying a home during the crazy, post-COVID real estate market. Dana navigated it like a pro, making sure we were knowledgeable about all the in and outs, taking time to answer all of our questions. Day or night, Dana was always a text away and it was super comforting to know she was available. Dana quickly become a reliant, stable guide, consistently on our side, yet gently pushing when we needed a little motivation in the fast paced real estate market. We highly recommend the experienced and professional team at Compass, especially Dana for all the hard work she put into finding our home.

We would highly recommend Joy and Rob Aumann. After interviewing multiple realtors, some of which were very qualified, we met with Joy and Rob. It was at this juncture, the decision became easy. From the initial meeting there was no question Joy and Rob have the knowledge, are experienced professionals in their industry, and have the right recipe to deliver as promised. We are thankful to have chosen both of them and are very appreciative they agreed to work with us. Joy and Rob worked very well together creating a strong team. They have a dynamic synergy and work well off one another, complimenting each other’s strengths. They have a clear concept how to market a property, execute a marketing campaign, and deliver concrete results. There is no question that any real estate transaction presents its own unique challenges. Joy and Rob were always there, and able to overcome those challenges. Joy and Rob work well under pressure and time constraints; and do so without pause. They are able to accommodate unique or unusual requests a seller may have and are able to create a win for both buyer and seller. Joy and Rob are both very responsive to all forms of communication and timely relay all necessary details to the Seller. They are able to keep the transaction on track and move the ball forward without feeling pressured. We always felt that selling our home of 20 years and the related details were just as important to Joy and Rob as they were to us. We believe that Joy and Rob will provide the same level of professionalism and attention to detail, regardless of the transaction size or asset type. Joy and Rob come highly recommended and we would select them again for either side of the transaction.

We cannot say enough about the incredible dynamic duo of Joy Bender and Rob Aumann at LuxurySoCalRealty. We first began working with Joy and Rob in 2017 when they represented us on buying a condo in La Jolla. Because of their tenacity, we had almost no negotiation and bought the full oceanview, three-bedroom condo with a large deck for an incredibly reasonable price. You know you have a great real estate agent when the seller's agent (a well-known La Jolla name in real estate) takes the time to pull you aside and tell you that your agent is fantastic. Yes, that happened. Fast forward to 2021. We have three big boys and needed a little more space and were ready to commit to an actual home. The challenge to this is that we were living full-time in Austin. As places came on the market, Joy and Rob would rush over to FaceTime a tour for us. When we had questions later, they would be FaceTiming us from the property again in under an hour, even when we were texting at 7am. Soon, we found the place. However, there were already 7 offers on it. Thanks to that tenacity and deep knowledge of real estate strategy, we ended up ultimately getting the house over 13 final offers! And guess what--our offer was not even the highest bid, but Joy and Rob had put together the best offer using other tactics. Now we are in a dream home. And the condo? Joy and Rob sold it for 11% over asking in three days!

It was a positive experience despite a very trying escrow, I'd highly recommend Joy!

Dana was a pleasure to have as our Real Estate agent. As first-time home buyers, we interviewed several agents as we wanted to ensure we were working with someone knowledgeable and professional. Her expertise on the local market and attention to detail were second to none. Dana was in constant communication with us, letting us know what to expect during each stage of the home buying process. She was attentive to our needs and budget requirements and recommended a lender to compare to our original choice. Her quick responses to questions helped things move along efficiently and smooth. We would highly recommend Danna and her team to any first-time home buyers as they helped to make what would have been a nerve-wracking experience a memorable and positive one.

Working with the team at Luxury So Cal RE has been extremely effective. Rob and Joy have represented us on two sales and the results were stellar. Incredibly tuned in to the market on pricing, staging and guiding us during the negotiation phase all the way to close. They are OUR realtors. Not making moves w/out them.

What an experience working with Rob and Joy! We’d been stalking the higher end of the La Jolla real estate market for about a year, so we had a decent idea of what we were looking for. Still - we were buying into a very competitive market. Yet these two consistently got us into pocket listings, dutifully accompanied us to the many “probably not but we should look anyway” showings, and gave us expert guidance on the unique drivers - and detractors - of value on the luxury homes we were seeing. Not once did they try to push us or make us feel uncomfortable. Not once did we feel like it was a transactional relationship with them - entirely the opposite: we felt like they cared for our home purchase as they would for their best friends. When we did land on our eventual purchase, it was the day it hit the market. We were one of multiple offers, but with Rob and Joy’s guidance, ours was the winner. But that was just the start - thanks to their process and their network of vendors, we were able to negotiate a price discount. They were also instrumental in managing the relationship between the mortgage broker and seller’s agent - the process took quite a bit longer than expected because of our complicated financial/business structure, and we are 100% certain that the seller’s agent would have pushed the seller to walk away too soon, without Rob and Joy’s efforts on our behalf. All’s well that ends well, though, and everyone was thrilled the day the deal closed. We can’t imagine a better San Diego realtor. And while we don’t typically write online reviews, it’d be criminal not to do so for these two! They work insanely hard for their clients, and we feel very lucky to have found them.

Joy and her team are as good as it gets. I am a Montecito agent of 20 years and have worked with Joy and her team on a referral basis for one of my most highly valued clients. They hit it out of the park for them (Buyer representative); identifying and gelling an incredibly rare property in a highly competitive Seller's market. I give them my highest endorsement. Thank you Joy!

Joy and Rob were the best! They helped us buy our dream house. They were both available for every question, every walkthrough. Joy was awesome at getting answers for every question and concern. She definitely makes sure you’re getting what you want and deserve when you’re house hunting. I would HIGHLY recommend their services. Not to mention she’s a great negotiator and saved us a bunch of money. 🥰

I have had the opportunity to meet many of the top real estate agents in San Diego but no one stood out the way Rob & Joy did! They are knowledgeable, humble and great to work with. Furthermore, they are communicative and ensure that you find your best fit home! I knew they would take care of me after experiencing their passion and integrity first hand. I would have given more than 5 stars if that was an option. They go above and beyond to cater to all your needs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Joy and Rob are amazing! I've been looking for a home in La Jolla after living in North San Diego for quite some time. From start to finish they made me feel extremely at ease and answered every single one of my questions. They really do go above and beyond for their clients. Prior to this I have interviewed and spoken with several different realtors and real estate agents in San Diego, but none of them made me feel as comfortable as Joy and Rob did. Fantastic Work. If you're looking to buy or sell a home in San Diego you absolutely must speak with them first.

Fantastic start to finish. Joy and Rob showed us a wide range of homes and areas to find the perfect fit. In a very competitive price range, they fought for us to get the house we wanted. We were able to rely on their years of experience to spot issues and opportunities (just watch Joy's inspection of the windows for proof) that allowed us to confidently make the right decision. Because we were out of the country up until closing, Joy and Rob went above and beyond to handle issues, large and small, to get across the finish line. We love our home and would not be here without them.

I recently used Joy to represent me in a out of state real estate transaction. Although, I’m a Realtor in Las Vegas, I was unsure of how things went in Cali. Joy did an amazing job guiding me through the process and even going above and beyond in several circumstances. She always had my best interest at heart and was prompt getting back to me with any questions that came up. I have a very high standard for Realtors and she truly amazed me with her professionalism. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.

My mom and I were searching for a Compass real estate San Diego team to align with and collaborate for our listing marketing. As a top REALTOR® San Diego, Aumann Bender & Associates was a good culture fit for us. We are also thrilled to be the San Diego real estate agents with the Compass Private Client Network. Most importantly the real estate marketing with a focus on digital exposure was what really attracted us to partner with Joy and Rob.

We worked with Joy Bender to stage one of their listings for sale. The experience of working with Joy and Rob is refreshing. The Aumann Bender team is committed to very high standards of professionalism for their clients. As part of the real estate industry having worked with many buyers, sellers, real estate agents, I was impressed to see their unique marketing and action plan to help sell their listed homes. One of their many tactics I personally experienced was a very successful and well planned open house party with the ingredients of reach, quality and appeal for the specific buyer demographic. Great marketing, food truck, neighborhood out reach, personal attention to detail all came together in a single initiative. As part of the open house I could see potential buyers walk-in impressed. The Aumann Bender team are definitely among some of the finest San Diego real estate agent teams in the industry.
