David was very quick to show us property as soon as we arrived in San Diego. We are new to the San Diego area and he didn't waste any time showing us new properties. When we arrived in San Diego David responded quickly to all our texts and calls. Thank you for all your help David.

We've done business with Cardenas & Co in the past and we wouldn't consider using anyone else.

The realtor I worked with was Ricardo Velarde. I had an amazing experience with Ricardo. He was professional, yet made me feel comfortable enough to express my real and sincere feelings on the houses we viewed. He always kept in mind my circumstances, budget, likes/dislikes, and family when showing me properties. Always ready to answer all my questions/concerns. I appreciate how he was always available for showings even if last minute. I’m extremely grateful to have worked with Ricardo on my home purchase during this very competitive housing market. Overall he is a very pleasant and caring realtor/person that I would highly recommend. You’ll be hearing from me when I decide to sell in the future

When we decided to sell our home, Angela was our first call. She gave us a great rundown of the process of selling our home and what steps we needed to take. She made the selling process extremely easy and stress-free. She updated us when we received offers, steps in accepting offers, and steps in completing the sell of our home. She made the process seamless.

It came down to who made me feel most comfortable and who listened to what I wanted as the seller. The third factor was familiarity with the area and what was realistic not just big asking prices. The David and his team set good timelines and strictly adhered to them. They ensured to meet all my needs as a seller and get me the best offer. A David, his wife Angela and entire team are great people that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to sell their home. They even helped me find/buy my new home in Texas!

Mr. David Cardenas is an excellent source when it comes finding a house in Southern California. His team and office staff were extremely quick responding, prompt and professional to work with, and they were able to provide us with a custom and time sensitive service pertaining to locating and buying a property we desired. Thank you again!

Perfect experience!

Sophia Koob was our agent and did an amazing job. David was there to make sure everything went perfect. We love our new home and would use David and Sophia again for future sales and purchases.

I put my complete trust in Century 21 Award! The process of buying my home was amazing. With the market being so tough right now, my agent Sophia Koob had perseverance like you would not believe. She worked hard as our advocate and got us a great deal on a great home. Getting documents to us in a timely manner was a plus. David and Sophia worked together as a team and got it done!

Amazing experience with Century 21 Award!

David’s team was amazing! Sophia Koob was my agent. Working with her and David Cardenas was a breeze. Sophia was very informative had great communication skills. I knew what was happening in detail every step of the way. Both of them were on point every step of the way and very informative, having documents ready in a timely manner. Even when there were uncontrollable hiccups, she stepped up and got it done. I felt comfortable talking to her and knowing that everything was in good hands all around :) I would recommend Sophia and David again to friends and family for sure!

Thank you for everything! The final sale ended up great:)

Sophia K was phenomenal. I’ve never worked with such a knowledgeable, kind and thorough agent. We felt so comfortable and at ease the entire sale. She goes above and beyond for her clients and really truly becomes a new friend. She is our forever agent and we absolutely adore her and look forward to working with her in the future and sharing her expertise to our family and friends. If you’re looking to list, we HIGHLY recommend Sophia Koob and her team. It really was amazing to see her and her team kill it!
