Your Real Estate Concierge in San Diego

"Luke and house333 made being a first-time home-buyer feel both easy and fun. He and his team were able to answer all of our questions quickly and professionally while navigating a fairly competitive market, and we never felt like there was any doubt that the home we found would be one we could consider a forever home. Not only were we able to find the perfect home in the area we were hoping to move to, but we ended up doing so while coming in under budget thanks to Luke's expertise. Would recommend him to anyone looking to either buy or sell a home in the San Diego area, whether it's your first home or a process you've been through dozens of times."

"I can’t recommend the team of Luke and Todd enough! They helped us purchase our first home in a crazy competitive market. Luke was so patient in helping us find our home and his breadth of knowledge is truly one of a kind in a realtor. He knows the market and I’m not exaggerating at all when I say his negotiation skills seriously can’t be beat. He helped save us quite a bit when negotiating our final offer and he will get the best outcome for you no matter what. Plus, once you do get into your home, he knows all the things about renovations / home improvement and his help in that area is just such an added bonus and hard to find in a realtor. I trust Luke completely and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a realtor who is not only a truly wonderful human being but will also deliver the best results for you no matter what. Thank you so much Luke and Todd!"

"Luke is friendly, approachable, and endlessly helpful during the home buying process. He’s always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that his clients end up in a place they love that fits all of their needs and most of their wants. As a first-time homebuyer, I felt as though I was in excellent hands. Luke made what should have been an anxiety-inducing process much more manageable than I was expecting. Thanks in large part to Luke, we ended up in a place that we love that was under our budget."

"Luke and his team made the daunting process of buying a home in the San Diego area smooth and easy. They walked us through each step of the process so we felt comfortable with what we were doing, and they genuinely cared that we were happy and helping us make decisions that were right for us. There were multiple offers on the house that we wanted to buy and Luke really went to bat for us to make sure we had a competitive offer that ended up being accepted. The inspection process also went super well and the team made sure that we were always involved and aware of each item on the inspection report. When closing came around we were able to go in with confidence and no hiccups which was absolutely amazing. I will always remember getting the keys to our first home and how easy house333 made it seem. My husband and I will always recommend Luke to anyone who is looking because him and his team really do seem like the best."

"Luke & Todd helped my husband and I purchase our home back in February 2013, and since then we have stayed in touch! We highly recommend both and our truly thankful for their expertise, negotiation skills and overall passion for helping us, as we were first time home-buyers and were full of questions. We really appreciated both of their patience with us, and making our experience one of a kind. Once we are ready to buy our next home, we know we will be coming back to both Luke & Todd. They are a team we can trust!"

"We worked with Luke on the purchase of our first home. He was extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we were interested in and gave us his honest opinion about the potential of each property we viewed. I felt like he really understood our taste and what we were looking for. He was extremely responsive, dedicated to his job, and a pleasure to interact with. He made the whole process feel very manageable for a first-timer!"

"I was lucky enough to work with Luke as my buying agent when searching for my first home purchase in San Diego. The San Diego market can be extremely competitive for a buyer in my price range and I found this out first hand. Luke was a steady source of knowledge, confidence and an outstanding negotiator. He made himself available whenever I had questions or wanted to view a home. When it came to making an offer he always had creative suggestions to help my offer look more enticing. After numerous bidding wars I finally secured an amazing new home that needed just a little work. Luke and Todd were kind enough to put me in touch with the contractor they utilize for their personal projects along with an amazing painter. They really did help provide the full package deal! Luke and Todd were consistent through the closing of my home and made sure to check in after the sale was complete as well! Since my purchase my in-laws and 2 family friends have utilized Luke and Todd as their selling agents if that give you any idea as to how happy everyone has been with them."

"My husband and I were originally working with a different realtor and have given up on the home buying process. We were actually out looking for a house to rent when we met Todd. He told us about their business and encouraged us to call Luke to set up an appointment. We met with Luke that day, he was extremely attentive to listening what we wanted in a home and neighborhood. We saw houses later that day and the next that matched what we were looking for. We absolutely loved how aggressive Luke was at getting us into the market, we previously had a hard time being competitive when houses were only up for 2-4 days. We found our house a day after we met Luke and even if we didn’t, I know we would have found it with house333 at a later date. Luke and Todd know this business, their clients and how competitive the market is and they are dedicated to getting you into homes you want to see quickly. Luke sat down with us, went over interest rates and how that would affect the mortgage and how were were going to strategize during negotiation. This is huge for first time home buyers! He was not afraid to negotiate and made us extremely comfortable in submitting an offer. house333 worked with us on every detail and every concern we had through the entire process; we were always a priority and I know if I needed any advice now, they would be more than willing to offer it! We could not have purchased such a great house in a great neighborhood without Luke and Todd, they are incredible!"

"Working with House 333 on our home purchase was the best decision we could have made. As first time home buyers in 2010, we were very inexperienced and needed a lot of guidance during the process. I was amazed at the diligence of our agent Luke as he continued to pursue new options and find us the best home for our budget. From sending emails in the middle of the night to showing us over a dozen houses on our first trip out, he really made sure he worked for us like we were his only client. First time home buyers can be a little all over the place, but his patience and understanding of the market was incredible. He was able to help us through the entire process showing us into our new home in only a matter of weeks. Four years later, we are looking to upgrade and Luke and Todd are on top of everything once again. Luke has already found us a bevy or properties that fit our needs and as we look towards the future of a larger home, we are excited once again to be working with the team at house333. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new home. You will feel like a VIP client!"

"We have worked with Todd and Luke for years now, and every experience has been outstanding. As young first time home buyers, coming from out of state they made sure we knew all about the areas we wanted to look for a home, and were great in teaching us about real estate and the home buying process. They made sure we understood every aspect throughout the process and were always listening to our wants and needs to find the best home for us and our future. Later when we chose to sell, they were there again making sure we knew exactly what to do and how to get what we wanted out of the process. Even in between they have been great in sending us referrals for people to help with home improvement projects. They are always available when we reach out with any questions, and make sure we are always taken care of in any way they can. They are very professional, and made us comfortable throughout each interaction. They have really been there for us in a time of need professional or otherwise."

"It was our first time buying a home and I was very nervous because I hate committing to such a big investment. We had some family and friends who do real estate, show us a few places, but they seemed to want to do the least work and expect the most pay. We magically got a referral from a coworker who just bought a home and introduced us to Luke and Todd. They are the most honest and hardworking people ever. They listen to what you want and they make sure they deliver no matter what! They were never pushy, always patient. They helped us purchase our dream home at a good price! Even after purchasing our home, our relationship did not end. If there was a problem or if I had a question, they were always happy to help without hesitation. I've never thought I'd own a home, but they helped make it happen. Thank you. I highly recommend them! I refer them to all my family and friends when they are home shopping!"

"As first-time home buyers my wife & I are forever grateful to Luke and Todd at House333. Coming off a rocky home hunt in San Francisco, we shifted our sights to San Diego. From the moment we were introduced to Luke, it was a white glove experience rooted in trust. Luke is an expert in the San Diego real estate market and gave us the lowdown on every neighborhood we were interested in. From our first consultation, we could tell he wasn't like other agents simply trying to make a commission, he was different. Highly personable & educational having our best interests in mind. He is a successful real estate investor and not just an agent. We viewed him as more of a real estate life coach. We developed the attributes of our ideal home and Luke setup a custom home search for us. Not just MLS search but a fully branded portal for us to review homes and specify our interest levels. Luke invested his entire day touring properties with us and ensuring we had VIP access at every location. After identifying a property Luke provided guidance and strategy at every turn. Literally 24/7 communication helping us negotiate the most favorable terms. The process was intense but effortless at the same time. Luke was transparent in his communication with the seller's agent and ultimately got us the deal we wanted. Luke stayed involved throughout escrow and introduced us to Todd (house333's office manager). Together they helped us navigate every step from inspection, financing, home renovations, etc. Luke and Todd made this a human experience and not just a transaction. I wouldn't be surprised to see them as stars of their own HGTV show! We cannot THANK them enough and extend our praise & gratitude publicly!"

"I have worked with Luke as a first time home buyer, and first time home seller as well. Luke took his time to make sure I was educated on the process, and I always felt like he had my best interest in mind. After my experience with buying my first home, when I was going to sell that home there was no question in my mind I would use Luke. Not only is he approachable, responsive, and friendly—I always felt like he genuinely cared for me. He also always made sure I got the most for my money! He even got the solar panels on my first home paid for by the seller! I would recommend him to any of my friends or family."

"We first met Luke Kensen in 2021 while we were looking without representation to buy a home in San Diego. We happened to look at one of his listings, and were very impressed with his knowledge of real estate, easy manner, and professionalism. While we didn’t buy that home, we requested that he represent us in our search as buyers. Luke is patient, good at listening to his clients, and good at asking questions. We found Luke also helpful in picturing houses as they could be with some additional work, rather than only as is, and characterizing the resources required to make such a revision. Luke has a great eye for space! Luke showed up promptly to appointments, and helped use our time well. After viewing several houses with him, we found a home we wanted to buy. Luke advised us on how to make our offer the strongest. In addition, he has experience with dealing with many brokers in the area, and is able to leverage that knowledge for his clients. He was able to craft for us a fair offer, and negotiate its acceptance in the current challenging market for buyers. Luke works with Todd Worthington, who is exceptional in staying on top of and carrying out all the correspondence and transactions necessary for closing the deal. We highly recommend both Luke Kensen and house333 to anyone who is interested in real estate representation."

"Working with house333 and Luke was an absolutely dream. We both bought and sold our home in California with Luke and the entire process was easy and Luke made sure that all of our questions/concerns throughout were always answered promptly and personally. Real estate agents transact all the time but for the buyer/seller it is a huge life moment and Luke always made sure we knew that we were important to him and house333 as people and not just dollar signs. That praise also extends to the entire house333 staff, everyone was warm and welcoming and always ready to jump on a call to quickly get something answered or solved. Selling with house333 was particularly exciting because of their marketing and personal touches which allowed us to get top dollar for our home. We can't recommend Luke and house333 enough!"

"I have had the pleasure of working with Luke Kensen and house333 for a over a decade now and can honestly say, Luke takes the profession of being a realtor to a level far beyond any other agent I have ever worked with. The level of professionalism Luke portrays on every transaction exemplifies his ethics and strife to perform his job at a level above the rest. I’m a fond believer communication is the first and foremost key to a successful real estate transaction. Come morning, noon or night, you will always be able to count on Luke for answers to your questions at a moments notice. Whether you are buying/selling your first home or a seasoned professional, Luke will use his unsurpassed knowledge of the market to guide you through the transaction every step of the way!"

"Luke is an incredible agent and human being. We had previously rented through Todd who is also a phenomenal resource. During our search, Luke was the best communicator, full of knowledge and wisdom, and understood our needs as locals and parents of young children. His wonderful sense of humor helped on the wildest of days in this competitive market. We trust him and know he is so well respected in the community which goes a long way when working with other agents and homeowners. It's easy to say we love Luke and Todd professionally and personally. We highly recommend the house333 team to everyone looking to find the perfect home."

"Luke not only sold my home for top dollar, he also sold it furnished. At the time, we set the high price PSF in the neighborhood. Luke published the home as the center pages of a high end real estate magazine and we had an offer quickly. My experience with Luke Kensen was 5 star."

"Luke and Todd are hands down the best real estate agents in San Diego. Luke came highly recommended from a friend of ours, and when it was time for my family to sell our first home and buy our second, Luke and Todd were a god-send! First of all, the hard work and dedication they put into taking care of their clients is remarkable. I would often receive emails from Luke at the all ends of the night as he would be burning the midnight oil working for us. Secondly, their level of professionalism and expertise is unmatched. The listing they made for our house was beautiful beyond belief (I still go back and look at the listing, it was a work of ar). With their team, they were able to sell our house well over asking price. And when it came down to the purchase of our new house, Luke worked out a steal! As a matter of fact, during the closing process…the appraiser was blown away by the price we actually paid. He couldn’t believe we got it for as low as we did. In the end, Luke and Todd will take care of your every need during your home purchase. They really care about the clients, and it shows. As long as we live in San Diego, we will use house333 for any real estate sale or purchase."

"Have worked with Luke on several deals now, Luke is tremendous in every way, always quickly responsive, very knowledgeable about real estate, investments, economy, and so many other things. He made a point to take our circumstances and goals in mind and I would recommend him and his team to anyone who is looking into real estate. Luke makes sure to find the right home for YOU and is about relationships not transactions."

"house333 is phenomenal — I was referred to them by a friend and could not be happier with my experience thus far. Luke and Todd are not only experts at what they do, they offer a level of service, convenience, and trust that is top tier and unbeatable. Owning property can be stressful at times and House333 goes above and beyond to ensure both parties are highly enthusiastic (tenants and owners). Transactions are quick and seamless, saving everyone time and money. I couldn’t be more impressed or pleased with House333 — I’ve already passed the recommendation onto the rest of my friends and family."

"When we had contemplated about buying a home in San Diego, we met up with a couple of realtors who didn’t have our interest in mind and concentrated more on a sale. Upon meeting up with Luke Kensen/house 333 we got exactly what we needed. Luke found us the perfect house in the area of our choice. From searching through inventory, meeting with us at homes to view, through the uncomplicated close of escrow, and the expertise in his field to answer “honestly” with all our questions and concerns we had about each property is exactly what we found with Luke. We could not have found a better Realtor with more energy in a day to help not just us but other clients as well and still staying focused with our needs. Most importantly, more than just finding us a house, Luke found us a HOME."

"Luke is truly the most amazing realtor I have ever met! I wish I had met him when I first moved to San Diego, when I was looking for my own place. When I first moved to San Diego 5-6 years ago, I went through 3 realtors. From my experience, most realtors are not looking out for their clients' best interest, even though that is what they're supposed to do. Instead they're looking out for their own best interest: making a quick commission. All those 3 realtors did the same thing: every place they showed us, they immediately said "ready to make an offer?" — as if I were buying a shirt that, if I didn't like it very much later, I could just buy another one. As if I weren't about to buy the most expensive purchase of my life! The first time we met Luke, we asked him to show us an apartment because we were looking for an investment property. After he showed us the place, he had no comments about the apartment, but he told us that if we wanted to see other places where he knew would be much better investments, he'd gladly take us around. He asked us if we had time then, and he took us to North Park, and he drove us up and down the streets of North Park, and told us that was the area to invest in. He didn't show us any specific places to sell us. I could then tell how much he loved what he did! He told me he wanted to help me buy a place that would be good for me, so if I ever wanted to live there, I would love it, and it would make me money. He patiently showed us lots of places for over a year, and he never complained that he had showed us too many places and I should just hurry up and make an offer. Instead, many of the places we saw, he told us "I can find you a better house." I have NEVER seen a realtor say that! He is the most honest, scrupulous, amazing realtor I have ever met! He truly looks out for the best interest of his clients. He treated us like we were his family. He did find me an amazing house, which he also helped remodel. I mean, how many realtors do that for their clients? He has amazing sense of design. He can see a gem hidden in rubble. He's truly amazing! Now I need to talk about the second half of this incredible partnership: Todd. Todd is the yin to Luke's yang. Luke is fast, super energetic, always on the go. Todd is calm, meticulous, methodical, detail oriented. He makes sure that all the horrendous paperwork and deadlines are on time. He's also a property manager, and he manages my property, and he takes such good care of it. He's found really great tenants. He's on top of all the maintenance issues. And he keeps me posted of what's going on with the property and the tenants, without me having to do anything. He's amazing! And he's such a great dad too! I truly don't know how they do all that they do! I just can't say enough good things about them. I can only say I was very lucky to have met them, and to have them as my realtors!"

"A friend recommended Luke to me and I am so, so happy to have Luke as my realtor. Luke is not only a realtor who will answer your calls (or call you back), & text message you etc. He is also a designer who has that eye for interiors & exteriors. Luke & company, helped me buy my property & Luke gave me the confidence in helping to renovate it. He has contractors, architects, floor people, etc & other contacts in the industry. He provided me with a contractor with who renovated my entire house (gutted it completely). He has an architect who did my design and then we took it from there. You will not easily find this in other realtors. (At least, I have not come across it). Luke gave me the confidence I needed to get started on what appeared to be an overwhelming task and it is because of him, that I have the wonderful house that I have today. He is incredibly dedicated but will not suffocate you. He will provide you with whatever amount of guidance you need, whether it be a lot or a little (for those who don’t require a lot of hand holding."

"Luke and Todd make quite a team. Over time I've purchased many homes in varying states and never had I dealt with such highly knowledgeable and professional team. Luke and Todd "heard" our wish list and managed to find us the perfect home for our budget and family needs. Luke was able to negotiate an incredible transaction at a highly competitive market in San Diego. Speaks to his expertise, negotiating skills, and investment knowledge. After Luke "closed" the deal for us Todd took over to make the rest happen. From coordinating inspections, keeping paperwork on time, to assisting in aligning me with the perfect mortgage partner. A truly 5 star real estate team. Would not consider anyone else but the house333 team for any of my real estate needs in the SoCal market."

"Finally, an agent and his team worth a review. I am not an easy customer! If I send a text, I expect an immediate response. An email? I'll give you half a day. If you're not up to the challenge, don't bother. Also, I need to see as many properties as possible in a short amount of time. We visited more than a dozen condos the first weekend, the same the second weekend. We bought a house instead of a condo because Luke thought: why not! We got a great deal on the house, and could not be happier. Luke responded to all my texts, email, and phone calls in a supersonic time without an ounce of annoyment (that I could detect). He has excellent social skills to meet his customer's needs. If his personality does not fit with your style, no worries, he will step aside and ask for a member of his team to take over while he is in charge of quality control. The best of the best!"

"Luke made my husband and I feel like family from the first day we met him. He genuinely wanted us to end up in the right home for our growing family. He was super patient, never making us feel rushed during any part of the process. He was honest about homes he did not think were right for us which is a rare quality in an agent. Luke went over and beyond when it came to the negotiation of our home and ended up working so hard to get us a great deal. We love our home so much and our neighborhood — we would not be here without his guidance. We will continue to recommend House333 to all."

"I bought a condo with Luke as my agent. Luke came highly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. He is outstanding in all regards. We saw probably around 40 showings and he was always patient with me. Most importantly, he was someone I could trust. He was never pushy with any sale but always offered valuable advice. Luke's negotiation skill also came in very handy. He and his team are extremely responsive. I would use Luke again without hesitation."

"Luke and Todd came highly recommended to us from friends and we couldn't have been in better hands. They are true professionals and know the Southern California real estate market extremely well. What sets them apart is how much about their clients and their ability to understand and address any concerns they may have. Luke responds at ALL hours, Todd was here for us if Luke was out of town, and together their knowledge and guidance got us through a very tough purchase process. Go with house333 and know that these guys will help you through it all. HIGHLY recommend!"

"If you want to buy a home, Luke is awesome! He is knowledgeable, he understands the process, zoning, coding, laws, he knows how to read the seller and he takes a very personal approach to guiding the buyer through the process."

"We would not be living in our beautiful home without Luke, Todd, and the house333 team. We started the search at the peak of the market and as novices to the San Diego housing market, we often felt like we were in over our heads. That being said, we were serious about buying and ready to put in the time and energy. We started off looking at condos and single unit homes but ended up buying a multi-unit property. In the end, we couldn’t be happier with our choice and the negotiation process. In a fast-paced and often stressful environment, Luke and Todd were always one step ahead of us, making sure we had access to new listings, competitive offers, and most importantly, the imagination and experience to help us see how we could make a property our own. They were never pushy, always generous with their time and advice, and honest. As a new home owner and landlord, it is comforting to know that their door is always open and I can call or text whenever I have a question or need a recommendation. house333 is truly a full-service, boutique agency that always has your back."

"We had the pleasure to work with Luke this past year and are now living in our beautiful new home. Luke is clearly “top notch” when it comes to understanding the market, the ins and outs of making appropriately timed and priced offers, and negotiating with the sellers. But much more important to us, was that Luke clearly cared about finding us the right home. He walked us through a slow and, at times, somewhat painful short sale process that took nearly 8 months. Luke was genuinely giddy at the deal we were getting and encouraged us to stick it out for the long hall. When we closed he let us use his contractors (he also flips homes so he has a great sense of home potential and how much it would cost to fix up / upgrade a home if you want to go that route) and even helped us pick out our new paint colors! We recommend Luke and his team without reservation."

"I have bought and sold several properties in my life, but working with house333 last summer to sell our house was the best decision we could have made! Luke, Todd and their team guided us through the most efficient and successful home sale process I have ever experiences. Our house not only sold in record time, but also above asking price thanks to their knowledge of the market, their strategy and great negotiation skills! The house333 team was always ahead of the process during the escrow period, which made the entire transaction much easier to deal with. I highly recommend house333 to represent you whether you are selling or buying…!"

"Luke is an amazing realtor who helped me sell my condo in the Southbay, which he completely took all the stress of selling a home away. He is very reliable and always is in touch"
