If you're looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly invested in her clients, I can't recommend Jenna Thompson and the Cary Anderson Team enough. Jenna first helped us purchase our Oak Harbor home in 2023 as we were moving to Whidbey Island. Because we were relocating from out of state, we bought our home without ever seeing it in person. Jenna walked us through multiple FaceTime showings, answered every question, and provided thoughtful insights that helped us feel confident in our decision. She made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. We absolutely loved our home and our time on Whidbey Island, so when it came time for our military move and selling our home, there was never a question about who we'd call. It felt right to work with Jenna again and have the experience come full circle. Throughout the entire buying and selling process, Jenna and the Cary Anderson Team took the time to understand what was most important to us. They communicated clearly, guided us through each step, and were always available when we needed advice or reassurance. Their deep knowledge of the local market, strong relationships within the community, and understanding of the unique challenges military families face made an incredible difference. We've recommended Jenna to friends and fellow military families many times by word of mouth, and we're happy to put it in writing too. If you're buying or selling a home on Whidbey Island, you'll be in excellent hands with Jenna and the Cary Anderson Team.
We just completed our third transaction with Cary Anderson, and once again, she exceeded every expectation. Whether buying or selling, Cary has proven to be an invaluable asset. She continues to go above and beyond the call of duty, helping us navigate the market's complexities with ease. Cary is incredibly knowledgeable and market-savvy; her valuations are consistently spot-on, which gave us total confidence in our pricing strategy. What we appreciate most is how seamlessly she handles the entire process, from the initial listing through the final negotiations and closing. If you are looking for an agent who truly knows the Anacortes and Whidbey Island markets and puts her clients first. We cannot recommend The Cary Anderson Team highly enough!
Cary was my agent for my recent purchase of a home on Whidbey Island. She was incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and helpful through the entire process. As as inexperienced home buyer, I really appreciated her willingness to explain clearly what each step involved, what various forms meant, and what to expect next. She provided excellent advice during sometimes difficult negotiations, and everything worked out extremely well in the end: I got a good deal on the house of my dreams. She seems to know everyone on the island: the best inspectors, tradespeople, and local amenities. She is a lovely person and truly a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!
The very BEST!!! Cary has been exceptionally patient, understanding, and never gave up on my long and distant home search! Her knowledge of the local market was invaluable! A step ahead providing video tours, getting all the extra details, even garage measurements for my out of state (from Hawaii!) move! Always professional, communicates honestly, and extremely helpful in local resources and contractors to make this home ours.
We've just completed our third home purchase with Cary Anderson and The Cary Anderson Team, and once again, she was outstanding. Cary's expertise and knowledge shone through from the initial offer to closing. She consistently went above and beyond, keeping us well-informed every step of the way and greatly reducing the stress and anxiety that often come with buying a home. We highly recommend Cary and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a Skagit or Island County home. They truly make the experience seamless and worry-free!
Cary and her team have helped us with both buying and selling homes in the Island County area. She has been excellent in every way, to include: video tours from across the country; walking us through the first-time-home-buyer steps; connecting us with great local contractors for repairs; and even connecting with us after the sale with gifts. She is and has been above and beyond.
We have used Cary for transactions in both Anacortes and Langley. She and her team are professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile. On the first transaction, she worked with us while we were out of state and helped us find a great neighborhood (and lovely neighbors!), which was just right for us in the middle of a market where houses were going on and off the market in 24 hours. We've kept in touch, and now she has helped us find the perfect home for our folks. 100% recommended and amazing realtor. Not affiliated in any way - just HUGE FANS!
We have been working with Cary for about a year trying to sell my house. She is always reachable or quickly responds to schedule a later call. Over this time frame, she has become like family and if I ever buy or sell a home again in the area, she would be my first choice. She is not afraid to say what needs to be said and she can be tactful about how the information is passed. 100% professional and emulates what a realtor should be.
Cary was extremely attentive to my needs in purchasing a home over a 1000 miles from my previous home. She was so timely with what needed to be signed or needed my immediate attention. Finding a home was a pleasant experience. Cary was never pushy and allowed sufficient time to make major decisions. She was always pleasant and never felt like she was pressured to do what was demanded of her at a given time. She worked well with my daughter who lives in the area. I certainly recommend her as a realtor. Her consideration, discretion, patience, and knowledge was more than helpful in finding the best home and purchasing within the means available. Many thanks to Cary for a job well done. Lorna Hansen P.S. The welcoming gift and toast to me in my new home was so much appreciated
Cary Anderson and her team were efficient, effective and always professional. My home had a 30 days closing timeline and Cary's team made that process so smooth. We had a few bumps but she managed them well and kept me in the loop the entire way. She reviewed all the housing documentation and then gave me her opinion. Advised me on what to negotiate for seller's contribution/concessions. I would definitely work with her team again if I bought another home or recommend her to friends and family.
Cary Anderson and her team are totally on the ball. Cary is very knowledgeable about the market and construction. She kept us updated throughout the purchase process for our new home in Anacortes, WA. Highly recommend using Cary as your realtor!
Cary was fabulous to work with ! Patient , kind and intuitive in guiding prospective buyer. Cary probably showed us 40-50 homes. She was fun to work with but also very professional. We are new to the PNW & Whidbey so Carys knowledge of the Island was priceless. We found a home we love ??
Cary helped us in buying our house in 2020. She was wonderful then and the process was so smooth that we came back to her to sell it this year. She was constantly in communication with us every step of the way and worked with whatever issue came up. I will recommend her to anyone I know looking for or wanting to sell their house.
We had an exceptional experience purchasing property with Cary Anderson as our real estate agent. We've moved multiple times over the years and she is one of the most helpful and professional realtors we've worked with. She walked us through each step of the buying process, communicated well, helped us secure documents from the seller to make an informed decision before making our offer, and went the extra mile in all areas of our buying experience. We highly recommend hiring Cary Anderson for any real estate needs.
Adella Carey spent a year looking for the right home for us. She is a patient, kind person and really took the time to help me find an excellent home. I couldn't be happier with her service, advice, and recommendations. ??
We moved from NC to WA state and began working with Adella Cary from the Cary Anderson Team. It took us 6 months to find a place we would call our own and during that time, Adella was always at our side; answering our many questions and setting up viewings of various properties. When we had specific questions about a property, if Adella didn't have an immediate answer, she would do the research and promptly get the information to us. She was knowledgeable, courteous and on numerous occasions, altered her own schedule to accomidate our schedule restrictions. It is evident that she cares for her clients that she is working with! One time when Adella was not available (she was out of town), she quickly hooked us up with the Cary Anderson team who promply helped us with our requests to see additional properties. Let's face it, it is stressful looking for a new property, but if you'd like a great hassle-free real estate buying experience, I highly recommend Adella Cary!
We'll start by mentioning that we are first-time home buyers and fit that description to the tee. We discovered quickly that we did not have all of the answers; however, Cary answered all of our questions and if she didn't know the answer, she would always promptly come back with an answer/solution. Cary's team was professional and provided all the support we needed through the home-buying process. We had a tight closing window during the holidays and Cary spent time on her family vacation helping us through an appraisal hiccup. Without her help, we would have not closed on time. She knew all the ins and outs of the VA Loan and the details that entailed. She was easy to work with and did not ever rush us in the process of buying our first home. Overall, Cary is a knowledgeable, kind-hearted realtor whom we recommend to anyone looking in the Whidbey Island area!
We are happy to join this group rating Adella Carey as a aEURoe5-StaraEUR? Professional! Assisting us in buying a home from out of state, she immediately gained our confidence. Her counsel has been invaluable as she not only thoroughly understands the market, but she has an impressive knowledge of neighborhoods and home construction. A remarkably talented and responsive professional, we will continue to seek her out and will highly recommend her to everyone we encounter. Steve & Lisa
Cary Anderson was highly recommended by an agent here in the SF Bay Area. So impressive that her reputation as an excellent agent reached so far. From day one of our contact with her, and all the way through to giving us the keys to our new home in Washington, she did so much more for us than we expected. Because we live 800+ miles away, we relied on her to handle everything; ie. She did excellent walk through videos of several properties for us, got information about the well agreement, arranged and attended inspections, talked with county officials to get answers to our questions, and responded to our emails and texts quickly. She kept us on track and on schedule throughout the escrow process. We would definitely work with her for any future real estate needs. AWESOME describes her knowledge, work ethics, professionalism and personality. Thank you Cary!
Cary did a excellent job throughout the whole process. She was always available to answer questions or look at property around our busy schedule. She would never tried to push a properly on us but was very knowledgeable with the questions we had on each individual property. After we found the one we liked she was very knowledgeable about the next steps and what needed to be gone. We met many realtors during different open houses and we felt she was far superior to the others. Both my wife and I would highly recommend her
If you are looking to buy or sell the Cary Anderson Team is the one you for. We just bought our first home and Cary explained the whole process and worked hard to get the perfect home within our budget. She and her team were exceptional.
Cary and her team are without a doubt 5.0 stars!! Cary was our listing agent for the sale of rental property in Shelter Bay, La Conner WA. We had offers in hand within 48 hours of listing. She was fantastic from start to finish. We will be reaching out to Cary and her team when we return to the PNW.
The best you can ask for . She does not disappoint. From buying my property to selling it, she has been outstanding to work with. Her ability to make a property shine for a sell and her market awareness made my home the most appealing for buyers to look at and not be intimidated by the price. Her attention to every little detail in the process of selling, that most realtors dont concern themselves with, allowed for a return on my home that Exceeded my expectations. Shes been a fantastic realtor that I would love to work with again some day.
I have had the pleasure of working with Cary and her team on two different occasions. I would personally not consider working with any other agent if I were buying or selling in this area. Cary worked carefully with my wife and I to determine an appropriate list price for our home. She held an open house and reviewed bids with us, helping us to understand the pros and cons for each bid (going well beyond looking simply at the offer amount). I believe she helped us maximize the value in our home while minimizing the risk of having difficulties after going under contract. She was always a phone call or text away when we needed her. She promptly answered our questions and tended to our concerns. The sale of our home was painless and made easy, because she was on a step ahead during the entire process and had a full understanding of the intricacies involved. Cary has my highest possible recommendation!
Cary is the BEST. Let me first say that I am a first time home buyer moving from California. My son connected me to Cary based on the positive reviews and experience she had in Washington. After finding my perfect home and getting our offer accepted strategically, she guided me at every step; her knowledge, professionalism, communication, and creativity are standout qualities. This is my first time working with a Realtor but i can't imagine anyone better than Cary in terms of service! So many logistical things have to go right in order for a home to close (competing offers, Lender, appraiser, home inspection, home insurance, etc) and she was calm and organized and I can finally say I am a home owner thanks to Cary. If you're looking for a Realtor, she's your gal!
Cary is one of the best realtors Ive had! Her attention to detail far exceeds every realtor Ive previously had. In fact, I didnt know what I was missing until I had Cary as my realtor. This is my 10th house sale. Cary also helped me find the house I'm selling. This is especially important in the exceptionally tight market on Whidbey Island.
Throughout the process of selling my home Cary was there, she explained the process, what she thought the market was doing (and she was right), she helped us come up with the price, marketed it and helped through the closing process, which with our house involved buyers who backed out and issue with the house that needed to be fixed. I would recommend Cary and her team to anyone whether you are buying or selling
Cary was fantastic. She took care of literally everything. All I had to do was sign the appropriate documentation. She was incredibly responsive to my questions. In fact, she was proactive to the point that I had very few questions to ask. Her staging and photography were superb and displayed my property in its best light. The photos looked as though they were taken from Architectural Digest or some other high end real estate magazine. More importantly, she moved fast. From the time the property was empty (it was a rental) to the time that the pictures were ready was less than four days. Between phone calls, text messages, and the online portal she provided, I was able to see the entire process (which as a first time seller was a bit of an eye opener). I was never left wondering what was happening or where we were at in the process. When we did have to sign documents, she patiently explained all of the terms and what they meant in layman's terms. I am happy to give Cary my strongest recommendation. I'm already planning on using her services again.
If theres a best out there, this man is better! I cant imagine anyone be as loyal and committed as this man. Even when all hope is lost, he will always be by your side to find the perfect home for you. 10000% recommend to everyone everywhere.
Adella Carey is AMAZING! I am so thankful and blessed we got paired. She was so attentive to my wishes and wants. She went above and beyond what I expected. I purchased from another state and had a short window of time on the Island for viewing. She did virtual walkthroughs that were very thorough. She made me a priority the entire time I was there. We sealed the deal with zero flaws. Definitely recommend to anyone in the market!!
Adella Carey, the all-star to my home buying team. Her work ethic and drive to assist me with the entirety of the process made the experience a blast and the knowledge and care she took for me as a client was superb. I could not have asked for a better realtor. I highly recommend choosing her to represent you. I spoke with multiple realtors before her, neither were as responsive and dedicated to helping and providing information for me as a first time home buyer as she was. I will definitely be working with her in the future!! Hats off to you!
Cary is a wonderful person and an expert in her field. A dedicated professional through and through. We found Cary to be very knowledgeable in all aspects of island real estate. If you are looking for someone who listens, is patient, and keeps you focused on your needs, when it comes to finding your dream home, Cary is the Real Estate Agent you want on your team. It has been 5 months since we purchased our home in Oak Harbor and Carey still stays in contact and offers assistance with any questions we may have. We are truly grateful to her for all she has done to make our home buying experience less stressful.
Cary did an exceptional job in making sure everything was handled accordingly and on time. She helped with all the paperwork as well as getting me in the new home in a timely manner. Thank you Cary!
We met Cary through our agent in San Diego who was able to do some research and find her, and wow are we glad that she did. Cary was very professional and listened to our requests. We appreciate an agent who is communicative and supportive every step of the process. In fact, we had such a great experience with Cary as our Washington agent that we recommended her to a close friend who is now working with her in the process of purchasing a home in Washington.
I'm in the military stationed in Hawaii and I needed to sell my house that I owned in Washington state. I wasn't really even sure where to start and if I could even do the process remotely. Also, my house had some big issues that needed to be taken care of before it could be sold. I had friends recommend me talk to Cary and after getting off the phone with her, my uneasiness went away as she assured me this was something she could assist me with. Cary took care of everything to include changing the locks, cleaning out the house, replacing the carpet, hiring contractors, and finding buyers. Along each step of the way she kept me informed at all times. She's good at communicating and I'm thankful for all her help in finally getting my house sold. She is a great realtor!
Cary was amazing and so helpful! She helped us get exactly what we wanted and was very knowledgeable about the area. We had a house that we liked online and we were not able to get it. Cary helped us find similar alternatives and ended up helping us get our perfect home.
I had just moved to Washington from San Diego, and barely knew my way around. I'm a first time, single, 22 year old homebuyer. Cary was an immense help, constantly sharing her knowledge of the area and the housing market. She always got back with a quick response and if something needed to be done or there was a bump in the road she promptly jumped to correct it. All with a smile. Very pleased with my first experience and with Cary!
Cary was awesome! She was available, responsive, knowledgeable, friendly and just overall easy to work with. This was our first home on Whidbey and she had a wealth of knowledge and resources about the local market. We would use her again in a heart beat and recommend her to our friends and family!!
It was our first time buying a house, and even though we had a little background knowledge from the research we had done Cary made it about as easy as it could be for us. Her knowledge of the area and her willingness to sit down with us and explain step by step was just awesome. And probably with an unknown amount of sacrifice to her personal life, she always kept in constant contact with us to let us know when things were happening and to answer our every little question. Even though we were living in a different state at the time of our home purchase, I am not sure how the process could have been any easier thanks to Cary and also the awesome group of people over at Alaska mortgage.
Cary was amazing all along the way for me. I was purchasing land from out of state, and she knows how to keep the ball rolling to get you exactly what you need. I would definitely recommend her and I wouldn't use anyone else in the future because she made sure that I can build my dream home on my dream property! She won't forget about you after you finish your sale or purchase either. She's a great resource for what is on and off the island that you could possibly need when moving here for the first time. Cary is a 5+ star realtor and as a person too!
Cary helped my wife and I find the perfect home to raise our family in. The process took over 8 months of looking at a slew of houses and two homes that didn't fair well during the inspection that my family had to back out of, throughout the entire process Cary did not give up. She only wanted us to buy a home that we would be 100% happy with. That just happened this past week. She was with us for every single step of the process and was there to answer any question we had morning or night. She has my families highest recommendation possible. If you want to buy a home and are unsure of the process you can put your worries away with Cary.
Cary was so professional and helped us so much throughout the whole buying process. She went above and beyond for us and I would recommend her to my family and friends
Cary was our listing agent. She helped us with every step from the beginning to the end. I had a zillion questions throughout the process...she answered my questions quickly and accurately and never made me feel silly for asking. Selling our house was emotional...she was kind and understanding. Cary is AMAZING!
Cary was amazing. She went above and beyond our expectations. She was kind and quick to answer any questions we had. And trust me, I had many being a first time buyer. I dont think I could have asked for more in a real estate agent.
Cary is our (buyers) agent on a current land purchase. She has proven to be an excellent agent and I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase property on Whidbey Island. She is very knowledgeable about the area and always does her research to give her clients the most accurate and complete information. She is a very meticulous person and always goes the extra mile.
Very helpful and professional! Availability of information were efficiently provided through the use of email, voice and text communications. Primarily most of the transactions were done through this media.
We worked with Cary over the phone as we were moving from out of state. She was always available to answer any of our questions. She sent us you tube videos of possible houses that were thorough and honest. She found us a cute home which is perfect for us and our needs as a newly retired couple.
Trying to sell our house was taking it's toll on us as we live across the country- about 3,000 miles away. The honesty and integrity she uses is refreshing. Cary took a highly stressful situation and made it easy to handle.
Cary was very knowledgeable in all aspects when it came to buying our first home. We felt like we could trust her and that our big endeavor, buying a house, was in good hands. She was very informative in the process we went through and was able to direct us in the right direction with other things that went into buying a house. She was very quick to respond, answering any questions we had at anytime of the day and if it was something she wasn't completely sure on, she researched it, again responding very quickly. I would definitely recommend her to anybody who is looking to buy a home with someone who is kind-hearted, informative, responsive and trust-worthy.
We made Cary's life very difficult. We viewed over 30 homes for sale in the Oak Harbor and Anacortes area. She never pressured us to buy a home that was anything short of perfect for us. Her advice was sincere and her patience second to none. In today's local market responsiveness is imperitive, as many homes sell just hours after being listed. Cary was always just a phone call away and quick to get our inquiries and offers to the sellers. If you are interested in purchasing a home in the local area, we recommend that you choose Cary to be your agent!
