W ith over 70 years collective experience and 1000+ properties sold, HaroDunlap knows San Diego real estate. From the luxury estates of Mission Hills to high-end Downtown

condos, townhomes and investment properties throughout San Diego, HaroDunlap has been the REALTOR® of choice for San Diego residents for over 35 years.

Jane Haro, HaroDunlap’s anchor, has single-handedly sold more homes in the Metro area than any other single agent over the course of her career. She freely shares her expertise and knowledge with her colleagues, which became even more evident when her son, Paul Haro, joined her over 10 years ago – creating a flourishing real estate partnership. When Tom Dunlap joined forces with Jane and Paul, the HaroDunlap Team became an instant sensation. Tom’s passion for Real Estate and his negotiation proficiency is apparent to all who know him. But, many do not know that this passion lured him away from a successful career as a litigation attorney. Tom credits his immediate success in Real Estate, after leaving his practice, to his fondness for working with people and his dedication to helping clients accomplish their goals.

Tom Dunlap and Jane Haro are a super star Real

Estate team in San Diego. Their level of experience

and knowledge exceeds their competitors in a

variety of different real estate transactions.”

The RexandScot team have built a successful business by always guiding their clients to make

decisions that are in their best interest, whether or not it ultimately leads to a sale. Although

it takes more time to build a business that way, they feel the quality of the client

relationships and the resulting repeated referral business down the line makes it absolutely

worth it.

“Both Scot and Rex are experts in their field and

are professional, responsive, and courteous

throughout the entire process.”

D rew Auker is known for his devotion to his client’s needs. In each transaction he focuses on one thing: relationships. In fact, Drew has coined the motto: “Relationships first, then

real estate.” The foundation of Drew’s business success comes from the fact that he focuses his attention on taking care of people.

Whether or not they are ultimately going to purchase or sell a home takes the back seat in Drew’s business model—he is more focused on how he can guide his clients into making a smart business decision that suits their individual needs. “The people in my life see how I operate,” states Drew. "And as a result, they actually look for opportunities to refer me business. It’s a beautiful thing.” While his home base is in his beloved community of North Park, Drew is enthusiastic about helping buyers and sellers all throughout the county.

“Drew pays a lot of attention to detail and

really works to get his clients the best deal

possible. I would highly recommend him “
