Clients, friends, and family. One evening of cocktails and good company. The Foley Group hosted a client appreciation night for Coronado and Imperial Beach homeowners, and the room said everything about how this team does business.
The joke of the night: we will take everyone to Italy next year. The real message is simpler. You are appreciated, and your referrals and trust are the reason this business grows.
Most agents disappear after closing. The Foley Group does the opposite. Past buyers, sellers, military families, and neighbors in Coronado, CA and Imperial Beach, CA showed up because the relationship did not end at the keys.
That matters when you are choosing who to hire. Real estate in Coronado moves on relationships: lenders who answer the phone, inspectors who show up, and an agent who still takes your call two years after closing. Every person in that room is proof of how the process works when it is done right.
A big thank you goes to Ashley Ortega with CMG Mortgage Coronado. She is a long-time trusted lending partner of ours and lends in all 50 states, which is a huge advantage for military clients PCSing into San Diego from anywhere. When you work with The Foley Group or any of our referral partners, you are in the hands of a true professional.
The night also doubled as a debut. Sydney, our newest agent, joined the team after four years in real estate. She is intelligent, tenacious, and gritty, which is exactly what buyers and sellers in Imperial Beach and Coronado need when offers get competitive. Follow her on Instagram at @syddsellssd.
Coronado, CA gives you the island lifestyle: walkable village streets, the beach at your back door, and bay views that look like the photo from this event, a San Diego skyline glowing at sunset. Imperial Beach, CA offers a more relaxed beach-town pace with a price point that surprises people who assumed coastal San Diego was out of reach.
Both neighborhoods sit close to Naval Base Coronado, Naval Base San Diego, and the rest of the South Bay military community. Both reward buyers who work with an agent who knows the blocks, the HOAs, and the lenders. That local knowledge is what the evening was really celebrating.
