About
I am the founder of Achievers Realty, based in Rancho Santa Fe, San Diego. I am a 28-year real estate industry veteran with trusted real estate expertise into the San Diego market. In the last three years, Achievers Realty closed an impressive $40 million dollars in real estate transactions. My brokerage focuses on my core real estate principles in helping clients achieve their home and investment goals.

I specialize in residential real estate, investments, land sales, commercial real estate, short sales, foreclosures, multi-family residential real estate, 1031s and equity exchanges. As a former engineer, I also have a highly quantitative mind and will happily break out spreadsheets with clients and discuss pros and cons.

One of my greatest skills lies in being a seasoned negotiator; getting the best deal and service terms possible for my clients in light of challenges buyers and sellers face. I have successfully maintained a 2% sales price advantage over the marketplace.

Ratings & Reviews

Allan Gaia Candelore

Achievers has helped our group purchase and sell several properties in San Diego County over the last eighteen years. Their professionalism and attentiveness has always helped us feel confident in how things were advised as well as handled. The Real Estate market is dynamic and has specific details and nuances that are not obvious to all who participate.
I am in Real Estate and Family Law myself, however, time has proven just how important it is to leverage an experienced professional's time and expertise.
As they say, hire and invest in competent people, so you can focus on what you do best!
Cheers and Thanks!

Betsy is a realtor who you can trust she guided us with the process made sure we were well aware of the steps and what was going on. We viewed a few homes and as new home buyers she made us watch out for issues with the house and showed us the best deal on the market. Every suggestion she made was true and one can really trust her guidance as her recommendations are factual and does put her customer first.

Working with Betsy and her team to sell my mother's home was a genuinely positive experience. I am located in Oklahoma, so my knowledge of the housing market did not apply directly to the San Diego area. That's where Betsy's expertise and professionalism came in. Betsy was thurough, methodical, and proactive. Talking with her among other realtors in the area, it was cut and clear that Betsy did real homework on the market where the other realtors did not. She was there to meet our needs with researched answers to our questions, and following that she went above and beyond to assist us throughout the selling process, taking charge and making it as simple as possible. The home staging was well planned and came at NO additional cost! That came as a huge surprise and was unlike the competing realtors. Also, what may be most important is she was never difficult to contact and always willing to help.

Betsy and her team at Achiever’s Realty was a great help in buying our new house and selling our old. She was there in each step of the way. She explained and guided us in the selling and buying process. She exceeded our expectation, specially when we needed to sell our old house ASAP so that we wont be paying double mortgage. We highly recommend her and her team. Thanks a lot Betsy for all your assistance day or night.

Evelyn Godlevski

This is my third time working with Betsy and I will always go to her when looking to buy or sale a home. We went from a city home to a country home which was a very different process. She went above and beyond to help make sure we understood everything related to the property. Betsy is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and helpful. We absolutely love her and cannot thank her enough!

Betsy and her team at Achievers Realty are genuinely incredible. Achievers Realty has the most thorough and knowledgeable real estate and property management individuals I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Betsy herself is a fabulous communicator and an incredibly resourceful individual. Her understanding of the market and willingness to go to great lengths to buy and sell the perfect home for her clients is unparalleled. In addition, she has incredible financial knowledge and does a fabulous job of looking out for her clients, both fiscally and personally. As a new homeowner, I felt the process was exceptionally well managed, transparent and that there was a thorough explanation for me to understand each component of the process. I highly recommend Betsy and her team at Achievers Realty to everyone in the San Diego area. Thanks so much, Betsy & team!

Catherine Nordhagen

As first time homebuyers, it was so comforting to have Betsy on our side. She truly knows her craft and guided us through every step of the home buying process. Betsy always made us feel that we were her number one priority. We'll definitely be using Betsy and Achievers Realty for our next home purchase!

Betsy helped my husband and I buy our first home 10 years ago and she was the first call we made when we were thinking about buying a new property (vacant land this time, to build a home). She is is extremely knowledgeable about real estate and about everything from financing options to the planning and building process. Both times that we've worked with Betsy, I've gotten the feeling that she really cares about her clients, and I've felt very comfortable knowing that she is the one representing us in negotiations. Betsy asks great questions to make sure she knows exactly what we need and what we're looking for in a property, and she's also not afraid to tell us when she thinks we're going in a direction that won't be beneficial for us in the long run (again proving she actually cares about us and doesn't just want to make the sale and move on). Soon, we'll be listing our current home for sale, and there's no one I'd rather work with on that process.

I was introduced to Betsy Heller of Achievers Realty, Inc. who came highly recommended from a friend because of her resourcefulness and subject matter expertise in the real estate market. She did such an amazing job with selling his home, she exceeded his expectations. We went in knowing if we have any questions or doubts when purchasing real estate Betsy will place our best interest first. Betsy took the time to educate and guide us with well communicated explanations of each step of the process in buying our home. We went on to getting a great deal on the purchase of our property in National City. Betsy followed up with us throughout the years with informative seminars and webinars. I highly recommend Achievers because Betsy takes the time to know her customer and their needs. She is never hard to get a hold of and is proactive in the best interest of the customer.

Betsy could win the honor of top-tier property manager state-wide if there's a championship. Betsy had been my property manager for rental affairs since 2018, and in August 2021 acted as the seller's broker to sell my property. I will need to review her works separately as they are equally outstanding. During the 3 years acting as a property manager, she succeeded in ensuring that each month's rent is paid on time, and she did well in minimizing the maintenance expenses. Since 2018, there were like 2 or 3 groups of tenants that had rented the place. For each tenant, she rigorously conducted interviews and select those with the most appropriate background. It may be for this reason that none of the rental payments got missed or reduced, even during the very period of COVID. This is an achievement rather than just duty, in my opinion.

Eva Giuseppini

I can't say enough about Betsy and her team. We were lucky enough to be connected with Betsy by a good friend who'd recently worked with her. We had been searching for a new home for literally years. With the market being as crazy as it has been since the start of the pandemic we felt fatigued and uncertain. Betsy was the answer. She is so incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate, from construction to financing, and everything between. Touring homes with her was refreshing and reassuring because she was always interactive and vocal, pointing out details and describing potential options/changes. It was always clear that she was thinking about and advocating for us and what we needed in a home. She is honest and and tough, but ever so compassionate and dedicated to her clients. She guided us through the offer, acceptance, and escrow process with grace, patience, and so, so much warmth. I can't recommend her enough.

Anton Boikov

I had the pleasure of working with Betsy from Achievers Realty, Inc., and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Betsy has extensive knowledge of the local market and demonstrated expertise in finding properties that matched our needs. Her guidance was instrumental in helping us find our home.
Throughout the process, Betsy maintained open and clear communication. She promptly responded to our queries, provided regular updates, and kept us informed every step of the way. We felt well-informed and supported throughout the entire process. Betsy showcased impressive negotiation skills. She skillfully advocated for our interests, ensuring we secured the best possible deal. Her expertise and guidance made a significant difference in the outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Betsy for anyone in need of a reliable and dedicated real estate agent. She made our home buying journey enjoyable and stress-free. Thank you for your exceptional service!

Brian Newmark

To say that Betsy is good at her job would be a massive understatement. She is divine! Betsy turned this overall stressful process of trying to buy our first home into a valuable learning experience & ultimately got us into a home that we love. She took everything we wanted into account when searching and gave us honest feedback. We appreciate Betsy so much! The ONLY bad part about this is that we won’t get to hang out & talk to Betsy every weekend…we’ll miss her!
