Bloom,-Todd

Todd Bloom has become one of only 60 REALTORS® in San Diego County who have received San Diego Magazine’s Five Star: Best in Client Satisfaction Real Estate Agents Award for eight consecutive years.

“I’m very grateful and proud that my clients took the time to voice their approval about the level of support and service I provide,” said Bloom.

The Five Star Award is a result of a survey of more than 31,000 recent homebuyers, subscribers, and industry experts. Respondents rated their agent on factors including customer service, communication, marketing, integrity, negotiation, and overall satisfaction.

“If the Five Star Award had been in existence for more than eight years, Todd would certainly have won more than eight of them by now,” said Nicki Marcellino, San Diego Regional Vice President of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. “He is known for his attention to detail and tenacious work ethic, which allows him to provide his clients with optimal results.”
