My goal is to make the process of buying, selling, or owning a home efficient, enjoyable and rewarding for you.  See what my clients and peers have said about my real estate services...

Bob W. –I recently had occasion to work with Del Hickman in a real estate deal.  Although I was a seller and Del was a buyer’s agent, we worked in a most amicable environment.  Del is one of the most professional, capable, and effective agents I have ever known.  He is extremely personable and a very effective agent.  He put together an offer for a client that was an absolute gem.  My one regret is that I didn’t know him when I was seeking an agent to sell my house.  I recommend Del to anyone looking to buy or sell a piece of real estate.  He will do an excellent job for anyone who chooses him.

Mark K. –I want to express my complete satisfaction with Del Hickman helping me buy a beautiful lake front lot for me to build my new home on.  Del took an incredible amount of time to survey and review a significant number of properties with me in a very objective manner.  His insight and comments helped me in making an offer on the perfect lot and purchasing it for $50,000 less than the asking price.  I highly recommend Del as a definite ‘customer service’ oriented Realtor with high ethics and integrity.  Without a doubt, one of the best! 

Carol B. – My house sold in 8 days at full price!  What else needs to be said!  Solid advice from listing to closing!  I’m very happy! 

A. J. R.– I want to express my deep appreciation for all the hard work you put forth on my behalf in buying my new home.  Your efforts were outstanding and certainly can be called ‘above and beyond the call of duty’.  You were truly a Godsend!  We encountered many obstacles; from finding the perfect property to securing a VA loan to negotiating with the seller to closing the transaction on time but you never gave up and provided me with exceptional customer service.  You made many trips to see me and made sure I understood everything that was happening.  I know that during the six months of working together that you really love taking care of people in a very professional manner.  We looked at many houses, short sales, bank owned, foreclosures, REO’s and by owner.  We hit hurdle after hurdle.  We made offer after offer.  In the end, I am the proud owner of a beautiful home, in a very nice area because I chose you to help and represent me!  Thank you so much. 

Saj & Anu V. – We want to express our pleasure with real estate agent Del Hickman, who represented us in our recent purchase of a single-family home.  As daunting as house hunting can be, working with Del made it a very easy and painless experience.  Del guided us through the entire process, from loan prequalification to searching for houses to making the offer and closing the deal.  He was very patient with us throughout our search and took us to see a multitude of houses all over San Diego.  He did not pressure us in any way to look beyond the parameters we set.  We were very impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and honesty.  We trusted him as we would our own family member.  We really appreciated how comfortable he made us feel.  It is with absolute pleasure that we recommend Del Hickman to anyone wanting to buy real estate in California.  You’ll be in the safest hands with Del! 

Phil & Marie W. -I would like to thank Del Hickman for his outstanding service as a Real Estate agent. My wife and I were first time home buyers and new to a lot of details of house buying. Del will be honest and upfront with you about all costs and go out of his way to make sure he is available at times which are convenient for you. Del showed us many different houses, was patient and did not try to force us into any sales. He let us make the final choice and was very supportive through the whole process. Even through some complications in our final closing he was persistent to make calls and make sure the deal went through. Del has had a wide variety of experience in many different markets and is friendly yet firm when working with other agents. I would recommend Del as an agent to anyone looking to buy a house. They will have an agent who is dependable, experienced and has a good character. Marie and I are both really happy with our condo that we have purchased and got it at a great price as well. 

Christie S. - I was just up at my new house, cleaning and organizing, getting ready to move in! What a busy and exciting time this is for the boys and I!! It's truly our dream come true. Whenever someone asks about our new house, the main descriptor I use is "thrilled".  This never would have happened for us without you! When I think of all the miles of driving you did, the offers you put in, and your patience through it all, I am beyond thankful. You really went above and far beyond the call of duty. Even when things looked bleak (and that was more than a few times), you hung in there and never gave up hope. We were so blessed to have you on our team! I am absolutely sure that without you, we would not be preparing for this move today.  Thank you so much for every detail! 

Carolyn R. - I do want to compliment you in that in all of the years I have been an agent (both in California and Arizona), I have never had an agent act as professional and courteous as you.  Thank you for being such a positive credit to our industry.

Craig & Zannette F. - Recently Del Hickman helped my wife and I, who live in Virginia, find a home in the San Diego area.  I originally considered using a Redfin realtor to save up to $7500 in fees.  I'm certainly glad that I used a 'full service' broker and more specifically Del Hickman.  The amount of communication and paperwork that Del coordinated was massive.  There's no way a discount broker would have done that.  Instead to save that money my wife and I would have had to assume many of those duties and we just weren't ready or trained to do that.  Thanks Del for saving us many hours of frustration and possible costly errors.
