Over the years, Zachary and Rochelle Svelling of The Svelling Group by Fathom Realty have built a reputation as the go-to real estate team for Jamul, Rancho San Diego, La Mesa, Spring Valley, Chula Vista, Crest, Deerhorn Valley, Alpine, University City, and beyond.
Their clients consistently use the same words to describe their experience:
Professional. Compassionate. Knowledgeable. Tenacious. Trustworthy.
From first-time sellers to seasoned investors, from local families to out-of-state owners, the Svellings have helped people across San Diego County achieve one thing in common — real estate success with heart.
Here’s what clients say, in their own words — and what their experiences reveal about the services that set The Svelling Group apart.
🌿 White-Glove Service That Handles Everything, Start to Finish
Clients repeatedly praise Zachary and Rochelle for their “above and beyond” approach — a phrase that appears in nearly every review. Whether it’s preparing a home for market, coordinating repairs, or managing escrow while clients live across the country, The Svelling Group takes care of every detail.
Out-of-state sellers in Jamul and Rancho San Diego shared how stress-free the process felt thanks to The Svellings’ hands-on communication, vendor coordination, and proactive updates. One seller wrote, “They took a lot of the weight off my shoulders and really went above and beyond to make the entire process feel like a breeze.”
Their concierge-style listing management means no surprises — just steady progress toward closing day.
📈 Marketing That Makes Homes Stand Out — and Sell Fast
The Svelling Group is known for their high-impact, multi-media marketing that consistently delivers results where other agents fall short.
Sellers in Jamul, Crest, and Rancho San Diego described professional photography, aerial drone footage, cinematic video tours, and strong digital exposure across multiple platforms. When paired with their local expertise and strategic pricing, that marketing consistently drives multiple offers — and top-dollar sales.
In Crest, their first-time sellers saw 14 offers in one weekend and a $101,000 over-asking sale price. Another seller who’d struggled with expired listings wrote, “Zachary and Rochelle sold our property where other agents failed to do so.”
Every listing receives premium treatment, no matter the price point — because every client deserves a best-in-class presentation.
🏡 Deep Local Expertise in Jamul and East County
Having grown up and built their business in Jamul, Zachary and Rochelle know the East County market inside and out — from Deerhorn Valley and Lawson Valley to Hidden Trails, Rancho Jamul Estates, and Steele Canyon.
That local insight allows them to price accurately, market strategically, and connect buyers with the unique lifestyle these areas offer — acreage, views, privacy, and community.
Clients consistently say their neighborhood knowledge and community relationships are what make the difference. “They knew exactly how to position our property and got it sold quickly after others couldn’t.”
Whether selling a rural estate or buying a custom home with acreage, clients trust The Svelling Group’s boots-on-the-ground expertise.
💬 Clear, Patient Communication — Every Step of the Way
From first-time sellers to senior clients, The Svellings are praised for their patience, clarity, and responsiveness.
One seller noted, “They were patient with seniors, multi-media savvy, and explained every detail clearly.” Another added, “We had so many questions and they provided the answers we needed.”
Their communication style blends professionalism with warmth — keeping clients informed, confident, and comfortable through every stage of buying or selling.
🤝 Results That Speak for Themselves
Across all reviews, one theme stands above the rest: results.
In Crest, 14 offers and $101,000 over asking in the first weekend.
In Jamul, multiple homes sold after other agents had failed.
In Rancho San Diego, families moving out of state closed smoothly and stress-free.

🕊 Compassion During Life’s Biggest Transitions
Many reviews came from clients selling after the loss of a parent or relocating for family — emotionally charged experiences that require not only real estate skill but empathy.
Clients expressed deep gratitude for the Svellings’ kindness and care:
“They helped me sell my home after my mother passed away and made the process so comforting and professional.”
“They treated our family with respect and patience, and we felt cared for every step of the way.”
