"I was three months behind on my mortgage and had received a Notice of Default. I thought I was out of options. Mewawa Group stepped in immediately, negotiated a full deficiency waiver with my lender, and we closed in 11 days. They saved my credit and gave me a clean start."
"They were honest that listing was the better move for my home. No pressure to take the cash offer. It sold above asking in 19 days. I've never worked with an agent who put my interests that clearly above their own commission."
"I got PCS orders and my home was underwater. As a fellow veteran, they understood immediately. They handled everything with my lender in 52 days, got my deficiency waived, and I was able to report on time. Incredible team."

Founded by Jeffrey Vidal — U.S. Coast Guard veteran, licensed CA agent (DRE #01821172), and San Diego's trusted short sale and cash buyer specialist.
Before entering real estate, our founder served in the U.S. Coast Guard — an experience that shaped everything about how Mewawa Group operates. In the Coast Guard, there's no room for half-truths or hidden agendas. You do the job right, or people get hurt. That same standard now applies to every homeowner we work with.
After serving, our founder built a real estate career across some of San Diego's most respected brokerages, earned an MBA in Marketing, and earned his place at Big Block Realty — one of San Diego's most innovative independent brokerages. Over 100 transactions later, the mission hasn't changed: give people honest options and let them choose.
Mewawa Group was born from a real frustration. Too many homeowners in tough situations — facing foreclosure, going through divorce, dealing with inherited properties — were being steered toward whatever option paid their agent the most. We refuse to operate that way.
Today, Mewawa Group is one of the only San Diego companies that can genuinely offer you both paths: a direct cash purchase with no fees, or a full-service listing to maximize your price. We show you real numbers for both — side by side — and let you decide. No pressure. No hidden agenda.
Fee transparency commitment: When we act as your listing agent, standard commission applies and will be fully disclosed in writing before you sign anything. When we purchase your home directly, there is no commission charged to you. CA DRE #01821172 · Affiliated with Big Block Realty.
We tell you what's true, not what's convenient. If listing your home makes more financial sense, we'll say so — even if it means less money for us.
Every client has a specific situation and a specific goal. We build a plan around what you actually need — not a one-size-fits-all pitch.
Foreclosure, inherited home, divorce, short sale — we treat every situation with the same urgency and respect. No situation is too messy.
Free, honest advice — no pressure, no obligation. Call (619) 734-7306 anytime.
Veteran-owned short sale specialist. We negotiate directly with your lender, protect your credit, and guide you to a clean exit — at no out-of-pocket cost to you.
⏰ Received a Notice of Default? Time is critical. Call (619) 734-7306 right now — we can often still help even after foreclosure has started.

A short sale happens when a homeowner sells their property for less than the outstanding mortgage balance — with the lender's approval. It is one of the most powerful tools for San Diego homeowners who are underwater, behind on payments, or facing foreclosure.
Unlike foreclosure — which devastates your credit for up to 7 years — a short sale typically resolves in 30–90 days and impacts your credit for just 2–4 years.
Mewawa Group is a licensed California short sale specialist (DRE #01821172), affiliated with Big Block Realty, with direct lender relationships across all major California mortgage servicers.
| Factor | Short Sale | Foreclosure |
|---|---|---|
| Credit impact | 2–4 years | 5–7 years |
| Buy again (FHA) | 2–3 years | 5–7 years |
| Deficiency balance | Often waived | May still owe |
| VA loan recovery | Faster | Much longer |
| Your out-of-pocket cost | $0 | Legal fees + more |
