Laszlo Betyar

From my school years, one lesson actually stuck: About land, Will Rogers once said "... there was only so much of it and no more, and they wasn't making any more..." Taking that to heart, I bought a new home just after turning 20 years old.

I started in real estate as a contractor doing remodeling, then custom home development and selling homes. My real estate background highlights include:

Construction since 1975: remodeling, pools, waterscapes, hot tubs, hardscape, tennis courts, additions, landscape
Developer since 1985 in new construction custom homes and residential lots.
California licensed general contractor through the early 1990s.
Investor and developer in a dozen-plus properties since 2000 in San Diego County.
Getting a kick out of designing and developing tennis courts and fantasy backyards with swimming pools, waterfalls, and natural rock hardscapes.

I bring a technical, analytical approach to our business, with emphasis in market analysis, marketing, construction, negotiation, contracts and applying leading-edge technology. I enjoyed working with my late wife, Cheryl Betyar (a real dynamo in San Diego real estate), and now working with my sons.

When we get involved in a property, whether selling or buying, I develop goals and strategies, pursuing each transaction with the same enthusiasm and dedication as I have for the past 31 years of business. I am truly motivated to do the best we can and to represent our clients with the utmost integrity and service.

I am competitive by nature, and really enjoy "winning" for my clients. That means making them as happy as possible with their new home, and striking the best deal we can for their benefit.

Since 1997, I have been an active member of the Betyar Real Estate team. As I saw my mother, Cheryl Betyar, advance in professional real estate and become president of the San Diego Association of REALTORS®, I was convinced through my experiences with open houses, sales transactions, marketing and promoting our business that this was my definitive career choice.

I graduated with a BA from the University of California, Riverside Business School, studying real estate and finance. Also, my employment in the construction business has given me insight in understanding costs, quality, and ultimately, the appraisal process.

With the value of real estate rising to new heights, I see a new face for real estate agents. A higher standard for professionalism is emerging; not with part-time or second-career workers, but led by formally trained, college-educated professionals improving the standard and reputation for the industry. The stakes have become too high to be anything less than excellent.

I am committed to handling your property and requirements with superior attention to detail, dogged follow-up and a specialized turn-key approach in order to assist you in all aspects of your real estate needs. I value my relationships with my clients, and remain eager to meet their needs. I’m not in this for the short-term. Integrity, reliability and my drive to succeed for my clients puts us in the position to quite possibly be the only real estate professionals you may ever need.
