Expert Negotiation, Exceptional Results: How The Svelling Group Helped a University City Buyer Save Thousands

When buying a home in San Diego’s competitive market, experience and negotiation skill make all the difference. One University City homebuyer found that difference — and more — when he worked with Zachary and Rochelle Svelling of The Svelling Group by Fathom Realty.

Zachary and Rochelle are a five-star team. I have known Zachary for over a decade. He is by far the most knowledgeable real estate agent I have ever met.

This client’s words perfectly capture what The Svelling Group is known for: professionalism, integrity, and exceptional results for buyers across San Diego County.

Knowledge That Creates Confidence

Buying a home — especially in sought-after neighborhoods like University City — requires sharp market insight and strong representation. With over a decade of experience helping clients navigate complex real estate transactions, Zachary and Rochelle bring a level of knowledge and strategy that sets them apart.

For this client, who was using a VA loan, Zachary’s expertise made every step of the process clear and stress-free.

Zachary helped me with my VA offer and the inspections. He also helped me understand all the electronic paperwork, so I knew what to expect.

That commitment to education and clarity is at the heart of The Svelling Group’s white-glove service philosophy. Zachary and Rochelle believe in empowering clients through information — explaining the “why” behind each step so buyers can move forward with confidence.

Fierce Negotiation That Delivers

In San Diego’s competitive housing market, saving money on a home isn’t easy — but with the right negotiator in your corner, it’s possible. For this University City buyer, Zachary and Rochelle’s strategic negotiation skills paid off in a big way.

They analyzed comparable sales, evaluated the property’s true market value, and identified opportunities to strengthen their client’s offer without overpaying. Their attention to detail and persistence resulted in significant savings off the original asking price — a win that made the purchase even more rewarding.

Behind the scenes, Zachary negotiated firmly but fairly, building rapport with the listing agent while protecting his client’s best interests every step of the way. It’s the kind of balance that defines The Svelling Group’s reputation — tough negotiators who still make every transaction smooth and cooperative.

Guiding Every Step of the Journey

Buying a home can be one of the most emotional and detailed processes in life. That’s why The Svelling Group takes a hands-on approach from start to finish — guiding clients through financing, inspections, contingencies, and closing with patience and precision.

He also helped me understand all the electronic paperwork, so I knew what to expect. Everything he did was positive and made the entire process a memorable one.

For this buyer, that support turned what could have been a complicated VA transaction into a straightforward and enjoyable experience. Zachary’s ability to simplify complex details and anticipate potential roadblocks kept everything on track — and made the process feel effortless.

Trust Built Over Time

This success story also speaks to something deeper: trust.

I have known Zachary for over a decade. He is by far the most knowledgeable real estate agent I have ever met.

That long-standing relationship underscores the consistency and reliability The Svelling Group has built their reputation on. Whether it’s first-time buyers, military families, or seasoned investors, their clients know they can count on honesty, integrity, and results — every time.
