This post is way overdue. Alanna and her team are utterly amazing. We’re a military family that was stationed in Rhode Island with orders to San Diego. We had lived in San Diego previously and knew what we were up against- expensive rents, insane mortgages, disappointing inventory….to name a few. When preparing to move back to San Diego (we had a 15 month old and one on the way ) we reached out to Alanna and she made us feel like buying was not out of our reach! Her and her team worked around the clock for us, providing extremely thorough virtual walk throughs (based on our circumstance we were unable to take trips back to San Diego to view homes) and the best advice possible when it came to securing the best rate and loan. We ending up buying our home in Talmadge with Alanna SIGHT UNSEEN and could not have been happier. She knows what she’s talking about with VA loans, thanks to her we were able to use our VA loan AND receive a refund of our fee. I could not recommend Alanna and her team more. We have been in our beautiful home for over a year now and we could not be more ecstatic. She is the best of the best and unmatched when it comes to military specialists.

Where do I begin?! From the beginning, I was meet with nothing but amazing conversation and GREATLY appreciated help, through the entire process! I was using a different website prior to working with Alanna, then from the first day working with her, I received in an email a link to a website that was customized to me and what I was looking for in a home. This made the process so much easier. Her team is amazing and as a first time buyer, I had a lot of questions. At all times of the day and they didn’t mind answering any questions I had, regardless of how simple it may have been. With Covid ruining our year, it added extra hurdles. None that Alanna couldn’t face head on. She took every place I wanted to view and set up times to go and view them for me and we virtually toured the properties. As many as I wanted, she was willing to go and show them to me. Because of her career and compassion, I was able to find the home that fits be perfectly! Alanna, you and your team have my highest recommendation and I suggest you to anyone inquiring about the process. Though lengthy, you all make it easy and the end (closing) makes it all worth it. Thank you again for everything!

Alanna is simply amazing. We both bought our condo and sold our condo with her. I didn’t even think about using someone else when we decided to sell. Alanna is more than a realtor, she literally became our friend because she is so caring and motivating. My husband introduced the idea of buying a place and I thought it wasn’t possible. Due to her extensive knowledge and skill with veterans we were in a place in less than 6 months during a crazy market time. We got our condo because she goes above and beyond. There were already two offers and the competition came down to things other than the numbers. She helped us to to stand out. Then when it came to selling our condo we made A LOT of money due to her advice on how to use the market to our advantage. We needed our tenants to to get out early, no problem Alanna handled that. Every other hiccup and snafoo no worries Alanna handled it. You honestly couldn’t be in better hands with her. If only she was in Florida when we bought here. We missed her during that process.

Alanna was great to deal with! My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Alanna as both sellers and buyers. We listed our first home on a Fri/Sat/Sun and with 40+ showings we finalized an offer on Monday for well over our asking price! Not even a month had gone by and Alanna helped my wife and I land our dream home(With an amazing view of Coronado, the ocean, and the sunset)! Although we didn't have the highest offer on the table, Alanna made sure the seller and seller's agent knew that we had the strongest! Unlike other realtors out there, working with Alanna, you can rest assured that she has the client's best interest in mind. She helped keep our emotions in check when things seemed stressful and she just overall made the process painless for us. Alanna and her team made the entire selling and buying process a breeze for us and my wife and I would never hesitate to recommend Alanna to any of our family and friends!

By the time we found Alanna we were basically over the whole buying process. We had a realtor that just wasn’t hitting the mark when Alanna was suggested to us, we thought what the hell, and that was a very good decision. Alanna and her team worked tirelessly, sending us direct listings, and a constant stream of new properties on our online portal. Also she’s just super fun, so it feels more like a field trip. Multiple times she would shove as many properties into one visit to keep up with my annoying schedule. Finally we found THE place and even better, we got an offer approved. The lender we originally chose gave us a fair but high interest rate. Alanna basically said nah we can do better and got us a way way lower rate. Escrow was flawless and fast even with the lender swap out it was right on time. So thankful we found Alanna!

For as long as I’ve known her (and even before I knew her personally), she has been my go-to resource for all things real estate! She is one of the most educated and ethical practitioners of her trade and can speak with eloquence and conviction about the nuances of her industry. Her thorough knowledge bank is a fail-safe in an otherwise intimidating process! I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention that her clients remain in touch long after business is done! Those relationships are a testament to her professional conduct and genuine love for serving those around her in whatever capacity is asked of her. There is no shortage of enthusiasm, passion, and wins when it comes to Alanna and her handpicked team of rock stars

It's so nice to work with Alanna! She is very inspiring and gives the team excellent motivation on a daily basis. She always makes us feel appreciated and important despite her busy schedule. Alanna is such a good boss and a great friend. The positive affirmations she gives makes us feel good about our task. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you. You are the best boss I ever had in my entire life.You really care about the wellfare of your team. You don't just have a beautiful face but a kind soul. You are confidently beautiful with a heart. I admire your dedication and believe you have a bright future ahead of you.Just keep making positive impact on other people's lives.❤️

#1 Military Friendly Realtor in San Diego! I've worked with Alanna both as a buyer and as a seller, and she has continued to impress me every step of the way. From educating me as a first time buyer, to absolutely going above and beyond as a listing agent, I cannot recommend her enough. Super knowledgeable all things VA and San Diego market trends - it's all about who you know, and Alanna won't steer you wrong. We also worked with Ana Freitas during our recent home sale, and she absolutely crushed helping us get the repairs we needed done and getting the home staged and ready to list. Alanna is busy because she's the best, and she's quickly building a highly effective team around her!

Buying my first home sight unseen from across the country with a VA loan in this market seemed impossible, but Alanna and her team blew me away with how hard they worked and how dedicated they were to my finding the home of my dreams. She was available for video walkthroughs, to talk me down when I was getting frustrated with the process, and gave me so much solid advice and so many resources that I was 100% confident in her every step of the way. And now I’m in the perfect home that I got for **asking price** which is unheard of in this current San Diego market!! If you’re looking for a home and you want someone who will go the extra mile for you, then Alanna is the one for you!!

It was such a pleasure to have Alanna as our real estate agent. As a first time home buyer the process can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming, but she made it a smooth and fun experience throughout the entire process. She never left any questions unanswered, always responded promptly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had all options and information at hand so we could make the right decision in purchasing our first home. She was always upbeat and it’s very clear how much she cares and her strong desire to help her clients find the perfect home. She comes highly recommended and anyone looking for a home would be extremely fortunate to have her as their agent.

Alanna and Acacia were absolutely phenomenal though out the entire process. As a first time home buyer, the prospect of buying a home remotely was definitely intimidating. However, this team is clearly so passionate about what they do and they will help you navigate the process to eventually get the place you want! They had my full confidence touring homes in my absence and they gave me a ton of great advice/guidance when putting down offers. I ultimately ended up getting the perfect condo thanks to their help. Highly recommend this team— you’re in great hands with them!

Alanna is amazing! She is so knowledgeable of the San Diego area housing market and is so easy to get along with! She is also able to draw from an inside perspective on the nuances of military lifestyle which is so helpful. My house buying process was so incredibly smooth! Alanna was able to beat out another bid while keeping the price in a range I felt comfortable with. She was always easy to get a hold of and responded right away! Alanna will be my go to realtor when I buy again in San Diego! I will refer her to any friends buying in the area. 10/10 recommend!

Alanna is the best VA agent in the business. Her knowledge of the VA loan, the home buying process and the San Diego market is unmatched. I have had the opportunity to work with many of the real estate agents in San Diego and Alanna stands head above the competition, whether its going the extra mile for our VA clients who are PCS'ing or winning massive credits to the buyer to lower their overall costs, she is relentless at helping her clients succeed. Alanna is the only agent I refer my family and friends too!

Alanna and Acacia are the best realtors ever! Despite temporarily living across the country, they helped us find find a home even during this year's crazy market. Any showing that I wanted to see they made sure it happened. They are very flexible and punctual people to work with. Also, it's evident that they are very knowledgeable about the SD area and can really guide you in the home buying process. Without a doubt you'll be in great hands with Alanna and Acacia. Highly recommend! 10/10.

There are no words how much I am pleased to have done business with Alanna Strei Realty Group. From beginning to end, the service that we received in the process of selling our home was phenomenal. Alanna and her staff kept us informed during the entire process and if we had any issues or concerns, there was no hesitation in obtaining the answers we were seeking. We will definitely be doing business with Alanna Strei Realty Group in the future for our next home purchase!

Alanna is always the best for helping military buyers and sellers. As a military veteran, she understands the specific needs members have for families on active duty in San Diego. Whether you’re looking for space, community, entertainment, or just good San Diego advice, Alanna is the realtor for you. I’ve known Alanna for over 20 years as we did NROTC together here in San Diego, and she’s a most trusted friend, a veteran, and a great agent.

Alanna was incredibly helpful throughout the entire purchasing process. Couldn’t have asked for anyone else. She definitely puts in the work to find you what you’re looking for. She’s 100% honest with the showings, I promise she won’t sugarcoat anything. Loved that. Especially because we were not in the area when we were looking for a home. She has the best team on her side that will help in the process to purchase. 10/10, no doubt.

Alanna and her team were absolutely great with helping us find a new home. We are active duty military coming in from outside the area, and Alanna took the time to ensure we had all the information we needed, from virtual tours of homes, as well her industry expertise to helping us find the best house for us. Highly recommended for those in the military and/or coming from outside the area. Thanks to your team for a job well done!

Alanna is absolutely amazing. We were recommended to her by a friend and she exceeded out expectations. She's exactly what you would want in a realtor. We were buying and she helped us get the perfect place in the crazy SD market. Very highly recommended!! She was very knowledgeable on the VA loan and knew exactly how to make it work for us Alanna and Acacia are an excellent team and will gladly work with them them again soon!

Several years ago we purchased a property in Virginia. We used a realtor associated with the property who basically did nothing (due to illness). Alanna ended up putting the whole transaction/deal together on behalf of the local realtor, following VA law (while in CA). It was a very stressful situation caused by the seller’s intransigence. We really wanted the property and Alanna made it happen. Most highly recommended!!

Alanna, is the number 1 real estate agent in San Diego. After meeting her and speaking to her about my real estate needs I know why. She is incredibly smart and knows the market well. She has her clients best interest in mind at all times and continues to do everything she can to earn her clients trust and business. Her focus is military and VA however she was willing to help me through my home buying process.

I bought my house while I was in the East Coast at school and Alanna FaceTimed me at each property and when I visited for a weekend she coordinated about a dozen showings before my arrival in 4 different areas so that I could understand the layout of San Diego. 12/10 service and honestly no one better! Perfect for first time buyers and even better for those using the VA loan. Choose her now!!!

Working with Alanna and Tyler Perez was amazing! They helped me purchase my first condo and I cannot imagine working with anyone else. Tyler was there for me the entire time, was quick to respond to all of my questions and concerns. Both Tyler and Alanna are super knowledgeable and having been doing this for a long time. The two of them make a great team and I highly recommend them.

Always a pleasure engaging with Alanna and her team. They are thorough and meticulous, enthusiastic and genuine. Their client appreciation events are celebratory in nature and a joy to attend. Her Mother’s Day event this past weekend included mothers, kids, families, and friends, made obvious by the comfortably cohesive network of past clients and their loved ones.

As first time home buyers this process can be daunting but Alanna and her team walked us through everything with ease. She was there to promptly answer any question or concern we might have had and we especially appreciated her knowledge of all things VA loan related. Highly recommend Alanna for all your home buying/ selling needs - she was a gem to work with!

Alanna is one of a kind! She is an excellent resource for all of your real estate related questions and by far the most experienced VA and military Realtor I know. Would recommend to anyone looking to purchase their first home in San Diego - She is knowledgeable, helpful, and hands on every step of the process. I had a great experience!

I have been coming to Alanna for all of my real estate needs for YEARS. As a veteran, I appreciate her expertise in answering some of the complicated end-to-end challenges I experienced closing on my home. I HIGHLY recommend her and her team to veteran buyers and everyone else! Thank you, Alanna!

The Mother’s Day event at Petco Park was awesome! And Ana was very friendly and engaging. I felt very welcomed and happy to make connections with present and past clients.

Alanna is absolutely phenomenal at what she does! I cannot recommend her highly enough and I honestly believe we wouldn’t have gotten our house if it weren’t for her.

Alanna is top notch and really cares about priorities. I was definitely an annoying client and she was very patient with me and was the best problem solver.

Alanna and her team are simply the best. She is quick to respond and puts you first. She is a fun and cheerful person but works hard to get things done ✅
