How do I choose a real estate agent in North Park?
Pick the agent who is most active in North Park right now, then check their reviews and last North Park deal yourself. A big sales total tells you less than you'd think. Ask how many homes they toured last year and whether they bring you properties or wait for the MLS. I'm Jared Harman, a North Park REALTOR®.

Why isn't sales volume the best way to pick an agent?
Because it measures the past. Sales count and volume are easy to quote and easy to compare, but they don't tell you whether that agent was inside a North Park house last week.
The number that matters is activity. How often are they on caravan, the weekly window when agents walk through what just hit the market? Are they hearing about coming-soon homes before everyone else? Are they researching the neighborhood themselves, or reading it off a report?
Activity is hard to see from the outside, which is exactly why you should ask.
What number should I ask every agent for?
How many homes they personally toured last year. Mine was more than 800 in 2025.
That one usually surprises people. It also means I've often already walked the homes a client sends me before they send them.
How do I check an agent's reviews and track record in North Park?
Before you call anyone, look them up on the California DRE public license lookup. You want an active license and the name of the broker they work under. Mine is DRE 02193879, with MatchPoint at eXp Realty of California, Inc.
Then read their Google reviews. Skip past the star rating and look for a review that describes something the agent actually did. I have 46 Google reviews, all five stars, and you can read every one word for word.
When you do talk, ask about their last North Park deal and see how specific the answer gets. Mine was a listing on Burlingame in June 2026. Before it hit the market, three interested parties reached out to me through my social network.
Why does an agent's audience matter in North Park?
Because buyers have to hear about a home before they can want it. About 250,000 local people see my content every month. Ask another agent what their number is.
What question do almost no buyers ask?
Who is going to find the listings. A lot of buyers end up doing the searching themselves and forwarding links to their agent. It should run the other way.
Your agent should be out looking for homes that fit you, including ones that haven't hit the MLS yet. Ask how they do that, and listen for a real answer.
For me, part of the answer is First Look, my weekly list of hand-picked San Diego listings, including coming-soon homes I can share early, with permission from the listing agent.
What else should I ask an agent in North Park?
Will they personally attend your showings? I attend showings personally. On the rare occasion I cannot, it is someone I have trained myself.
How much have they negotiated back for clients? For me, about $990,000 in credits and price reductions in the 12 months through September 2026.
Can you leave if it isn't working? With me, yes. My agreements include the No Handcuffs Guarantee. Cancel any time, no penalty.
What do people who have worked with me say?
"Jared is honestly the best realtor I've worked with. He really knows the market." Alex G., Google review, December 2025.
"He made the entire process seem easy, even when it wasn't." Denver W., Google review, October 2025.
"I run into him quite a bit in field as he is always hustling, looking for the best opportunities for his clients." Darryl C., a fellow agent, Google review, November 2025.
"He worked fast but didn't rush the process." Isabel M., Google review, October 2025.
Do these questions work outside North Park?
Yes. They work the same in Normal Heights, South Park, Bankers Hill or anywhere else. Swap in the neighborhood name and ask them anyway.
