Golden Hill · 2026 · Bought a home + Sold a home

We worked with McT Real Estate this year to both sell our old home and purchase our new one, both in the Golden Hill neighborhood. Chaz helped us buy our home, and Z handled the sale of our former home. They were both fantastic! They worked quickly and were personal and professional. They love central San Diego, and that came through with their knowledge of the local neighborhood and the market. They promptly responded to all of our questions and addressed our concerns with helpful input or information. We felt well taken care of during the entire process, and if we ever buy or sell again in San Diego, we would go with them. Thank you, McT Real Estate Group!

University Heights · Sold home (repeat client, 12+ years) · Verified on Google + website

I’m giving this 5-star review for Z. McT and the McT Real Estate Group for selling my University Heights home in San Diego. I first met Z. McT and her partner, Mary, when they sold my home in North Park years ago, and it was such a great experience that I didn’t hesitate to work with Z again when buying my next home in University Heights. Twelve years later, when it came time to sell that home, I naturally reached out to Z once more, and I’m so glad I did! Z is incredibly professional, warm, and calming, which was exactly what I needed during the stressful process of selling a home I had lived in for over a decade.

San Diego · Sold investment property (out-of-state seller) · Verified on Zillow + FastExpert

We decided to sell our investment property in San Diego and called the McT Real Estate Group, who have sold homes in nearby areas for many years and have a great reputation. From day one, Z took charge, walked the property, made recommendations, coordinated their handyman for a quick touch-up, had the home professionally cleaned, painted, and staged. They created a marketing video and targeted both local buyers and out-of-state buyers looking to relocate to San Diego. We received several offers, selected the best one, and closed escrow 32 days later. As out-of-state sellers, we really appreciated her professionalism and constant communication throughout the process. We would absolutely recommend Z. McT and the McT Real Estate Group to anyone looking to sell an investment property in San Diego.

North Park · Bought a home + Sold a condo

We recently worked with the McT Real Estate Group to both purchase a new home and sell our condo, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. Chaz helped us find our new home, while Z handled the sale of our condo, and both were exceptional. Chaz was incredibly patient and never pushy. He was also really great during the inspection process, making it smooth and stress-free. Selling a condo comes with its own set of challenges, especially dealing with HOA documents and other complexities. Z went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled efficiently, allowing us to close the deal successfully. Their knowledge and expertise were evident every step of the way. We would definitely work with them again and highly recommend the McT Real Estate Group. If you’re looking to buy or sell in the North Park, University Heights, Hillcrest, City Heights, or Normal Heights areas, they should be your first call.

North Park · Sold a home (repeat client) · Verified on website

This is my second time using the McT team. Both times I sold my house within a week and for the asking price. They made the process very streamlined and communicated well to ensure a speedy escrow. Could not recommend them enough to sell in North Park since they know the area well.

San Diego · Sold a home · Verified on Zillow + FastExpert

Z and Chaz at McT Real Estate Group were fantastic, and we used them for the sale of our home. They are easy to talk to, they explain the entire process in the beginning, and keep you updated throughout the process. They have many years of experience, which was reflected in their work and advice. We look forward to using them again for the purchase of our home in the near future.

Lemon Grove · Sold a home (unexpected sale) · Verified on Zillow + FastExpert

Z and her team were extremely helpful to us when we unexpectedly had to sell our home in Lemon Grove. They made a difficult process much easier. Z was available when we needed her and gave us good advice on getting our place fixed up for sale. Her team helped us complete that process. She speedily negotiated a good sale and helped us handle the many details that arose. She is experienced and professional, and also personable. It was a pleasure to work with her!

University Heights · Buyer’s agent on opposite side of transaction · Verified on Google

I’m giving Z. McT and the McT Real Estate Group a 5-star review as the listing agent on a recent sale in University Heights, San Diego. I represented the buyers in this transaction, and from start to finish, Z made the entire process smooth, professional, and successful. Z came prepared with a clear pricing strategy backed by deep knowledge of the University Heights and North Park markets. She presented all offers professionally, responded quickly to feedback, and kept communication open even during the most intense negotiations.

As the buyer’s representative in a recent North Park transaction, I had the pleasure of working with Z. McT-Contreras, who represented the sellers. From start to finish, the transaction was incredibly smooth thanks to Z.’s professionalism, responsiveness, and collaborative approach. Our communication throughout the process was excellent. Z. was always available, transparent, and proactive, which helped ensure that every step moved forward efficiently. As a North Park realtor, she clearly knows the local market well and brought that expertise to the table.

Sold a home (under contract in ~1 week) · Verified on Google + Zillow

The McT Real Estate Group was recommended to my husband and me. We couldn’t have been more pleased. Z listened to our goals, created a clear strategy, and guided us through every step of selling our home. Within about a week, we were under contract. We just closed while other units in our complex are sitting on the market. Z treated us as family by answering all of our questions and concerns immediately after contacting her. If you need a knowledgeable, trusted San Diego realtor for any San Diego real estate needs, we highly recommend Z and the McT Real Estate Group.

Past client – verified on Zillow

We love working with Mary and Z! We bought two houses with them and just recently sold one. Z McT-Contreras handled the sale of our home in North Park with great professionalism. It was a rental that needed extensive work prior to sale – Zee had professional service providers available and was able to coordinate all of the necessary work and get started while we were out of town. She kept us updated of all the progress and market conditions. She was always available to answer our questions. The house looked great! Our sale was in a challenging market period, but Z and Mary navigated us through it and helped us overcome several challenges along the way. Zee is so easy to work with and will always give you an honest appraisal of the current market and how your home fits in it. I really loved working with Mary and Z and will do so for our next real estate transaction!

Z and Mary are wonderful. They are diligent, responsible, conscientious, and mindful of their clients’ needs. They found the best buyer for our home and negotiated a deal that served everyone’s interests. Even more, they are kind and wonderful people, and they always did the utmost to answer our questions. I recommend them highly, and I look forward to doing business with them again in the future. Although Five is the highest grade, they deserve a Ten!

We bought a duplex in South Park a couple of years ago, and Mary McTernan and Z McT Contreras represented us in the purchase. They did such a phenomenal job that it was a no-brainer who we would list the property with when we sold. We originally started talking to them in August about selling, and they gave us such great advice on the little things that we needed to do to sell. We did everything on their list, which fortunately was not too much, and it turned out so beautiful.

We had absolutely no idea how much those little things would help sell the property, but when we received 8 offers and the final one was $100,000.00 over asking, it was no wonder how much the little things helped. The entire process from listing the property to the close of escrow was absolutely the smoothest, most hassle-free transaction. They truly are the best at what they do, and we highly recommend them if you’re looking to sell or buy! Christy and Jim

We had every intention of meeting with several realtors when we decided to sell our San Diego home, but once we met with Mary and Z., we knew we had found the team that would do right by us and help us sell our property efficiently. They have deep knowledge of older homes (like ours was!) and of the neighborhood we were looking to move out of, and their communication was spot-on. With any issues big or small, they were on hand to help us out with a text or quick phone call to keep our sale on track. They’re also extremely kind individuals…and they’re dog people! Our pup definitely appreciated working with a pair that didn’t mind an active personality. 🙂 We’d highly recommend Mary and Z for your next home sale!

Honestly, words cannot express how fortunate we were to work with such an amazing team. When we decided to sell our rental property in North Park, the only call we placed was to Mary McT. Having lived in North Park since 2005, we were well aware of Mary McT and her impressive reputation. We contacted Mary and Z in late Oct 2020 for a consultation. Within a few days, Mary and Z had toured our property, and we had a plan of action to get the house ready to list.

Mary and Z have an incredible team of professionals that listened to all of our concerns and were available 24/7. Even on Thanksgiving Day, a team was at our house cleaning, staging, and taking pictures- complete dedication. We listed the property in the first week of Dec, had a full price offer in 2 days, and closed in 21 days… on Christmas Eve! Their network of highly qualified and hard-working professionals ensured the process went as smoothly as possible. We put our trust in Mary and her team because we did not live on-site at the property, and our property was cared for each day as if it were their own. We had very high expectations before contacting Mary and Z, and all of our expectations were surpassed. Mary and Z are honest, fair, excellent in communication, confident, and true professionals. In our experience, it’s refreshing to find a real estate team that has their ethics. They had our best interests every step of the way. If we ever need to buy or sell again, Mary and Z will be our first call!

Firstly, for people who only read the beginning of things, Mary and Z are the best! They will make selling your property as stress-free as possible. They are expert in the SD Metro(North Park, South Park etc) areas. Moreover, they are the nicest people you would ever want to meet. My story started when I retired in 2018. They gave me great advice (staging, improvements, etc.). However, I wasn’t ready then. When I was ready, I called them. They helped me get the property ready for sale and guided me through the whole process. I was in good hands! Got a great price in a short time, and I’m completely satisfied. You will be too if you utilize their knowledge and professionalism. Mary and Z know real estate, and they’re kind and considerate people!

 worked with McT Real Estate Group to sell our house in North Park. Mary, Z, and their entire team were amazing and exceeded my expectations in every way. The house had been lived in for a decade and needed some work prior to listing. The McT Real Estate group helped us decide what we should do to maximize our chances of a quick sale at the best possible price. Once we handed over the keys, they did all the work. They coordinated all the contractors necessary to do the work, staged, marketed, and put the house on the market in under 3 weeks. We listed the house and received multiple offers in the first week. We closed with one over our asking price, higher than other realtors we interviewed had estimated. I could not be happier and will use them in the future.

When my husband and I were thinking about selling our home (of 30 years) in North Park, we knew the process of selling could be challenging – emotionally and physically. It was important to us to find realtors who understood the local market, the neighborhood, and us. From the moment we met Mary and Z from the McT Real Estate group, we knew we had found the right realtors. As highly respected realtors in our neighborhood for many years, Mary and Z’s reputations precede them.

During our initial meeting, they answered our many questions, offered excellent advice, and gave us a very realistic idea of what to expect during the process of selling our home. They took time to get to know us and even our pets, which I particularly appreciated. By the end of our meeting, we felt very comfortable and confident putting our home sale in their good hands. When we had the house ready to put on the market, Mary and Z stepped in and took care of every aspect of our home sale.

From marketing to showing to selling to closing, the entire process was incredibly well organized and just as they had explained. Our home sold quickly and for our asking price. My husband and I are so grateful to Mary, Z, and the McT Real Estate Group for handling our home sale with such integrity, professionalism, and genuine care. We can’t wait to work with them again and definitely recommend them to anyone needing the best realtors in San Diego!

After our home was on the market for over 100 days without an offer, we fortunately made the switch to McT. Mary and Z assisted us in making our home more marketable by suggesting some cosmetic changes, and we had an offer within a week of relisting! We ran into some title issues during the sales process, and Mary and Z were instrumental in bringing in the proper people to assist. We also used McT for the purchase of our new home, which had multiple offers. Even though we were not the highest offer, we are confident that their interactions with the listing agent gave us an advantage. Can’t say enough about how great our experience was from beginning to end!
