Nuvilla Real Estate

John is top notch. My wife and I are first time home buyers and John has been amazing in helping us through this crazy process.

I have been thinking about buying a home in the westhills area and contacted Nuvilla real estate through a friend. So glad I did both Cleve and John were so helpful with inventory and even let me know I could contact them anytime if I had any questions. They walk me through the process step by step, definitley recommend them if your in the market for buying or selling your home.

I started looking to buy a home and got in touch with John Cilch. He introduced me to Cleve, we put in an offer, and a way we went. They provide excellent service and prompt responses to any and all questions. I could tell that they were extremely knowledgeable in their industry and fought to get what my wife and I expected out of the deal. If I could do it again, I wouldn’t change using these guys. Thanks John and Cleve!

When I was thinking about selling our rental condo in La Mesa, I checked out the real estate sites and was contacted soon after by Cleve Shirley, who offered an evaluation with no obligation. Because I hadn’t really decided to sell at that point six months ago, I was as clear as possible that this might be a waste of his time, but he good-​naturedly shrugged that off as «just part of the job.» There was never any pressure at all as he sent us information about comparable sales, just helpful, friendly support in case we did decide to sell.
When I eventuallly decided to sell, Cleve convinced me to spend some money to update the flooring, paint, etc. Because there are no guarantees that making the investment would really help to sell, and because I live too far away from La Mesa to personally supervise and inspect the work, I was reluctant at first. Well, following his expert advice is one of the best moves I ever made. He handled everything, including arranging for the contractor (the outstanding Derrick Thomas) and clean-​up.
I would have been happy closing at the number we had in mind originally, but Cleve convinced me to list at a higher range due to the upgrades. We did, and the condo sold during an open house before it could be listed on the MLS – at more than 10% above the number I expected. There is a lot of paperwork, but Cleve got us through it with a minimum of fuss. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Cleve worked with us for almost 5 years in our quest for a new home… if that doesn’t speak to his patience, I don’t know what does. He was never pushy and very knowledgeable of all of the areas of San Diego that we were looking in. Cleve made the entire process seem easy and straight forward and at no point did we feel uncomfortable or rushed. I highly recommend Cleve Shirley as an agent to help you find a new home.

We highly recommend Cleve for buying/​selling. He recently helped us with selling our home, and not only did he make the process seamless and less stressful, he got us a great offer! We will definitely be back when we are ready to buy our replacement home. Great, knowledgeable, and friendly service!

Excellent customer service, very reliable and knowledgeable! You will not be disappointed with this wonderful real estate team.

I’ve been looking for a house for the last couple of years and Cleve has been a great help. He really knows his stuff and has not made me feel pressured to put in offers when I haven’t been ready unlike other agents that I have worked with. When we do put in an offer he is amazing at negotiating for me. His genuine concern to help me find what I want and can afford is very refreshing. I would highly recommend him whether you are purchasing or selling a home.

I am convinced that buying and selling a home is one of the most complicated processes known to mankind
I have been though a few sales and buys in my time but nothing compares to how Cleve managed our business. I set the bar pretty high and he had no trouble meeting and surpassing our expectations at every turn. Every time we move the rules and laws change, depending on what city and town, and its a maze of changing laws and bank rules, so the timing and communication has to be perfect.
Not to mention negotiating for the best prices!
Timely information, regular contact, easy to reach out to, no limit to the silly questions and always great advice, Cleve was there for us at every step of the process, making sure we were up to speed and understood what was happening.
A great experience from a great person. He is our ONLY Realtor.

We transacted with Nuvilla last year for a first time home purchase. We’d been on the sidelines for years analyzing various areas and worked with Cleve during this period. Cleve never applied any pressure, remained consultative throughout the process and never became frustrated with our changing desires. I’m a San Diego native and Cleve is too which I found invaluable when stuck an endless internal debate about where to buy (he provided clarity). Furthermore, my parents required help/​coaching selling their home of 26 years and downsizing to a more suitable property. Cleve handled both transactions and they couldn’t have been more pleased. They’ve mentioned several times Cleve is such a «Nice young Man!»

I am an honest person so I want to begin this review by saying that I work as a buyers agent for Cleve Shirley at Nuvilla Real Estate. Cleve at Nuvilla was born and raised in San Diego and knows San Diego Real Estate better than most brokers who moved here from somewhere else. If you are looking to buy, sell, or rent any type of Real Estate consider Cleve Shirley at Nuvilla Real Estate to help you accomplish your Real Estate goals. His wife Jacalyn Shirley is an expert Short Sale negotiator and has helped many people as well. If you are under water on your mortgage (meaning you owe more on your property than the property is worth) than consider Jacalyn Shirley to help you get above water. I truly believe in both of these individuals and can tell you with all honesty that they actually will care about you and not just about your $$$$ which is very hard to find these days. Another advantage to working with these individuals is that they are not big greedy corporations but small family run businesses.
