Finding the perfect home isn’t always as simple as checking the MLS. Sometimes, the right property isn’t even listed — and that’s when you need a team that’s willing to go the extra mile.
For one Deerhorn Valley family, their dream home wasn’t on the market. But thanks to Zachary and Rochelle Svelling of The Svelling Group by Fathom Realty, they found it anyway.
“We had the pleasure of meeting Zachary and Rochelle when they were representing a property we went to look at. We were impressed with their follow-through. We’ve never seen another realty team work as hard to meet the needs of their clients. They have now become forever friends.”
This story perfectly captures what makes The Svelling Group stand out — their relentless dedication to their clients, their deep local connections, and their genuine care that often turns transactions into lifelong friendships.
From a Chance Meeting to a Dream Home
The journey began when the buyers met Zachary and Rochelle at an open house. While that home wasn’t the right fit, something else clicked — trust.
The couple was impressed by Zachary and Rochelle’s professionalism, local knowledge, and follow-through. They quickly realized they’d found more than just Realtors — they’d found advocates who would stop at nothing to help them achieve their dream.
When it became clear that the right home wasn’t available on the open market, The Svelling Group got creative.
Finding a Home That Checked Every Box — Even Off Market
Deerhorn Valley is one of Jamul’s most sought-after communities, known for its open space, scenic mountain views, and peaceful lifestyle. But inventory can be limited, with homes rarely coming up for sale.
That didn’t stop The Svelling Group. Zachary and Rochelle personally reached out to homeowners throughout the Deerhorn Valley area, identifying off-market opportunities that matched their clients’ wish list.
They scoured the neighborhood, made phone calls, and leveraged their network of local relationships to uncover a hidden gem — the perfect home that wasn’t even listed for sale.
Their hard work paid off. The buyers fell in love with the property, and Zachary and Rochelle successfully negotiated a private sale that made everyone happy.
Hard Work That Sets Them Apart
The Svelling Group is known across Jamul and East County San Diego for their proactive, boots-on-the-ground approach to real estate.
While other agents wait for listings to appear, Zachary and Rochelle create opportunities. They’re experts at finding off-market properties, building trust with homeowners, and connecting buyers to the right home — even when it takes extra legwork.
“We’ve never seen another realty team work as hard to meet the needs of their clients.”
That kind of dedication doesn’t just produce results — it builds relationships.
Turning Clients into Friends
Real estate may start as business, but for The Svelling Group, it often becomes something more. Their care, communication, and genuine interest in their clients’ happiness create connections that last long after closing.
“They have now become forever friends.”
For Zachary and Rochelle, that’s what it’s all about. They don’t measure success by the number of homes sold, but by the relationships built and the lives improved through their work.
