Selling a home after decades of memories can be one of life’s most emotional transitions — especially when challenges arise along the way. For one Rancho San Diego family, the process was filled with unexpected hurdles, but with Zachary and Rochelle Svelling of The Svelling Group by Fathom Realty, those challenges were met with calm, confidence, and extraordinary care.
“Zachary and his team went above and beyond to help my parents with the sale of their home. He was very patient and stayed calm and cool with all the hiccups that occurred in the sale of their old house and the purchasing of their new one.”
From the first walkthrough to the final signing, The Svelling Group turned what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and successful transition — all while securing top dollar for the sellers.
Guiding a Family Through a Major Life Change
After 28 years in their family home, the sellers were ready for their next chapter. But with decades of memories — and the complexity of buying and selling simultaneously — the process required not just skill, but compassion and patience.
Zachary and Rochelle took time to walk the family through every detail, ensuring they understood each step of the selling and buying process. They handled the marketing, open houses, negotiations, and escrow coordination with precision — while providing steady reassurance during moments of uncertainty.
“He knew everything that needed to be done from the initial walk-through and listing to the open houses, choosing a buyer, negotiating an amazing deal, and finally the signing.”
That comprehensive approach is what defines The Svelling Group’s white-glove service — full-service representation with heart, strategy, and expert communication.
Handling Every Hiccup with Calm Confidence
Even the smoothest real estate transactions can come with challenges, and this one had its share. From inspection issues to unexpected city complications, Zachary handled each obstacle with grace and determination.
“He even went out of his way to get the city to fix a problem they caused and were refusing to repair — I have never seen an agent do more to get a seller top dollar for their property.”
That kind of advocacy is what makes The Svelling Group stand out. Zachary didn’t just negotiate with buyers — he went directly to the city to ensure his clients weren’t left with an unfair burden. His problem-solving skills and persistence saved the family time, money, and stress, ensuring their home sold for its full value.
It’s this level of tenacity and care that has earned Zachary and Rochelle their reputation as Rancho San Diego’s most trusted real estate professionals.
Navigating a Sale During Unprecedented Times
Selling a home during a pandemic presented unique challenges — safety protocols, market volatility, and logistical hurdles. But The Svelling Group’s adaptability and resourcefulness ensured that everything moved forward seamlessly.
Zachary and Rochelle’s tech-savvy marketing — including professional photography, digital advertising, and virtual tours — attracted multiple buyers while keeping everyone safe. Their clear communication and coordination with all parties helped the sale close smoothly despite the uncertainty of the times.
“If he can get my parents through a sale in the middle of a pandemic — he can help anyone, and he can help you too!”

Zachary and Rochelle don’t just sell homes — they guide families through major life transitions. For this family, that meant having someone who listened, cared, and truly went above and beyond.
“My parents had lived in their home for 28 years, and Zachary held their hands through every step of the way. Without him, I know they wouldn’t have been successful.”
