ReviewI have had the pleasure of working with Kara as my real estate agent for many years, and I must say that her service has been consistently amazing. She has been wonderful every step of the way, from explaining things thoroughly, answering all my questions and even providing me with anticipatory insights. Kara is an incredibly patient, genuine, understanding, honest, trustworthy, and well-connected agent, and she has always been available for showings. Her organizational skills are top-notch, and her communication skills are exceptional. Even after I completed the purchase, Kara went the extra mile to provide me with recommendations for repairing my purchases. Overall, I highly recommend Kara to anyone looking for a real estate agent who will go above and beyond to make the experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.

ReviewKara was very resourceful and helped us all along the way. First it was a comprehensive house search which lasted from October into January. She pointed out houses for sale in areas we could afford and would want to live in. She reviewed and shared feedback with us as to the desirability of each candidate. When we found the house we wanted, she coached us as to negotiating with the seller. She kept on feeding us alternatives while the process continued just in case it fell through. She was very helpful in negotiating a purchase and in providing vendors for a comprehensive house inspection so we wouldn't get blindsided. She also provided lists of contractors who would be available to make repairs as needed. She was an excellent communicator throughout the whole process, and responded to our many texts, requests, and questions. She always acted in a professional manner. She answered our questions and inquiries even after the sale closed which we found admirable. She is a good caring human being and somebody a buyer/seller can rely on.

ReviewWe were very fortunate to end up with Kara as our realtor as she guided us through the home buying process from beginning all the way to getting our keys! As first time home buyers, we were very cautious of every step since we didnt know what we didnt know! Kara is very professional, extremely knowledgeable about every area & aspect of the process, and a master negotiator! Kara was able to skillfully receive, on our behalf, sellers credits towards our costs for closing, repairs, & solar! We didnt know if Kara was working with other clients because she made us feel that her focus, time & energy was solely on us! Kara took the time to educate us & made us feel comfortable & confident about any decision we needed to make every step of the way. Kara goes above & beyond for her clients aEUR" including finding aEURoecreativeaEUR? ways to get inside a house so her clients could view it! We didnt think owning the house we ended up with could be a possibility for our family, but Kara made it into a reality & we are forever grateful! I will be recommending Kara to any & every person looking for a realtor you can trust & depend on.

ReviewKara was excellent and exceptional. She was creative and guided my wife and I through what was a very complicated process as we were moving across country with a house we were selling in California. She was our eyes and ears as we were in South Carolina during the home sale. She went above and beyond to make this transition seem less. I would recommend her with five stars out of five. She is the best.

ReviewAll I truly believe that this woman is a true teasure in Real Estate. She had made me feel like family, before even considering her as my realtor, she was in the trenches showing me house after house until I could not take it anymore and had to have on my team permantly. Other realtor just was providing lip service, calling me and texting, wanting me to sign a contrat with them before even showing me a place. That is not the personal touch Kara provided. She is amazing and fought for everything she could think of and didn't stop there. One of a kind, A great Pit-bull in battle. I highly recommend her and I plan on using her in my future purchase as long as she can pass the states' boards wherever I plan to buy again. Do not pass her by.

ReviewKara is the most professional kind and honest realtor that i have met. She was so professional that the seller i was buying from worked with me instead of another buyer because they also felt comfortable with her knowledge and efficiency. I met Kara 3 years ago when i was going to buy. I decided not to but when I contacted her again i was able to find a house in my first weekend looking abd was able to start the process within a week. I am grateful to her. she is highly recommended.

Review5 STARS for Kara. We had the pleasure of working with her 2 years ago with the purchase of our first home. We decided at the end of 2021 that even though we loved our house it was time to upgrade to something a little bigger. We immediately called Kara and she got to work right away! We needed the proceeds of the sale to buy a new home and Kara explained to us all our options and we proceeded with listing our home. We were able to sell our house for 45k over ask and even got the buyers to take over our solar loan! Then we had to find a new house. We found our dream home a couple weeks later and got our offer accepted even though it was contingent on selling! Wow! We followed Karas advice and got exactly what we wanted and more. Kara is always attentive, responsive, explains what is happening, friendly and she knows what she is doing. We are very lucky to have found her.10/10 recommend to anyone who needs/wants an agent who will go above and beyond for their clients.

ReviewI knew Kara from her very informative YouTube channel and in the beginning I realized that how professional and supportive she is. I had a wonderful working experience with her and after two weeks searching homes, I got my lovely house. This could not have happened without Kara as a highly-experienced realtor considering the current housing market and its uncertainties. I strongly recommend everyone who needs any assistance related to real estate matters to contact Kara.

ReviewWhere do we begin. Selling your house can be a scary and challenging time. There were so many details to think about and our home was owned by 2 trusts. After interviewing several real estate agents we chose Kara, because she was professional, knowledgeable, attentive and caring. Her team of people, including the title company, escrow company, painter, termite repair, plumber, electrical, staging, etc. were excellent, very helpful and competitively priced. Kara advised that we do some cosmetic upgrades and staging, and in the end, it was very good advice. She organized and scheduled all the work very efficiently (she even ordered all the appliances and arranged for them to be installed). She was always in contact with us to discuss details. With every issue that came up she had an answer. In the end, we were able to sell our home for much more than we ever thought.There are a million real estate agentsaEUR|..only one Kara Courtney!B Wilson and S & D JohnsonOceanside, Ca

Kara is incredibly knowledgeable about the home buying process, and truly cares about the needs of her buyers. She is incredibly responsive, and is always willing to go the extra mile - whether that be last minute showings or answering additional questions. We are so thrilled to be in our new home, and will without a doubt be using Kara for any future home buying/selling needs and will be recommending her to anyone that will listen! ?? Thanks, Kara!!

She was always available for help when needed and was prompt in responding to questions and meeting deadlines during the buying and selling process.

ReviewWe had a amazing experience with Kara! Kara works hard for her clients and she also knows her stuff! Karas marketing ability is such an asset when selling a home. She had great ideas on how to maximize the sale of our house and she was a solid resource of help throughout the whole process. We got many offers on our house that were much higher than our asking price and we ended up accepting a cash offer that was way higher than anything we imagined we could get. We highly recommend Kara to everyone looking to buy or sell!!!

ReviewWe are 1st time home buyers. All of our friends told us how stressful home buying can be. But not if you work with Kara! She walked us step-by-step through the process and never became frustrated with my million questions. She scheduled as many viewings in a day as we wanted, pointed out perks/flaws of each property and how it could affect the selling value in the future. All in all, it was just a great experience and we would recommend her to everyone!

ReviewHow Covid-19 and quarantine was going to hit the housing market was anyone's guess, and having to sell a home during this time made us feel like we were destined for disappointment. In steps Kara, with her positive attitude, and incredible business strategy, she made us feel confident about moving forward. We set a timeline to ready the house, and to our delight - Kara worked her pre-marketing super powers, and brought us an offer a full 13 days prior to original launch date, and for $25k OVER our intended asking price!! Not only that, but we were able to close in less than 3 weeks. It was a quite a whirlwind, and we were fortunate to have Kara by our side navigating us through everything - efficiently, professionally, and knowledgeably. Thank you Kara for a incredible job well done!

She is very knowledgeable in the real estate market and knows how to maximize sales potential with the use of contemporary marketing tools (she got use more than we expected). From showing the homes potential through staging and virtual tour with viewing the home as if you're walking through it was awesome! Selling a home from out of state is a huge challenge in itself, Kara made it as effortless as possible by doing more than was expected and in such a timely manor. Her willingness and execution to get the property ready to sell for the maximum price was spot on. She backs up her words with action! I highly recommend Kara for your real estate needs whether selling or buying as she will work tirelessly for you! Thanks Kara!Janet G

ReviewKaras Five Star Service First, let me say that Kara is our daughter-in-law, so you might think that makes my review biased. It doesnt. Over more than three decades now, Ive had hundreds of employees and done hundreds of deals. Kara is the single exception to my rule not to hire relatives. Why an exception for Kara? Its simple - exceptional service and exceptional performance. Its a lot of pressure to work for any in-laws and we are no exception - we have high expectations. In less than 24 hours of receiving our text about wanting to sell our home, Kara had a portfolio of comps to set our expectations to something reasonable and yet hopeful. Kara had recommendations for staging and storing clutter so we could present well and get the most for our home. She had a videographer do a drone fly-through for marketing. Within a week we had an open house and sold our home within 15 days of being on the market - at more than a full-price offer. She exceeded our expectations. How did she do it? She listened. She understood our goals. She created a plan and she executed the plan - with us. We were partners. Her education in communications and her experience in marketing were invaluable. Over the years, we had watched Kara build her business, build her team, and engage with customers. We knew about her energy. We knew about her commitment to people - colleagues and customers alike. I would encourage anyone even considering selling their home or buying a home to meet with Kara. Let her listen to you. Let her understand your goals. Let her exceed your expectations. She did it for us - she can do it for you.

ReviewI have never written a review, but just had to give Kara Courtney a Shout Out - Kara is the absolute best. After buying and selling 7 homes over the years, I contemplated relocating from out of state to Oceanside where I had vacationed but knew no one. While searching for a local realtor, I was sooo fortunate to happen upon Kara - what a joy she was to work with!! She shared her extensive knowledge of the area; worked long and hard to find the perfect home for me while my out of state house sold; was always patient, responsive, professional, empathetic and extremely knowledgable of the California real estate processes. Her excellent negotiating allowed me to achieve my wonderful new home!! I would recommend Kara whole-heartedly to any potential buyer or seller.

ReviewKara is fabulous!! When I first met her I mentioned I wasn't in any hurry to buy, that I wanted to take my time . Well, that very weekend I went to an open house on my own and when I saw it I just knew it was the place for me. I called Kara and she immediately was 'on it'! She worked up the proposal, submitted it the next day and the following my offer was accepted! I hadn't bought a home in over 30 years and was sure it was going to be difficult, time consuming and drawn out. It wasn't! Kara explained everything and walked me through each step thoroughly. The Lender she recommended also was just as thorough and considerate. It was all so very easy for me, which I was and am still very grateful, as this was a huge change for me. I'll have to say, though, that the most difficult part of the whole process was picking out my flooring :) Thank you Kara!!

ReviewKara is quite simply amazing! She is very enthusiastic, organized, detailed and responsive. She is extremely knowledgeable both about the ins and outs of helping you buy or sell your home, as well as the local communities and neighborhoods. In my personal experience with Kara she went above and beyond what I ever could have asked for. She helped us navigate a potentially disastrous Escrow process with contingencies intact, and then to close on a home that we love! We have recommended Kara to several other friends who have had similarly wonderful experiences!

She worked very well with her opposite realtors, always representing our interests extremely well. Her personal style is direct, respectful and sincere. Very close attention to detail and thoroughness. Good rapport with the other entities involved in the process. Good counsel on staging and other matters helpful in selling our home and making arrangements for our move in to the new home. Quick to size up a situation. Quick responsiveness. Excellent communicator. Excellent feel for the market and understanding our needs. Would recommend her a thousand times over.SincerfelyTom Mauro

ReviewI relocated to San Diego County from the Houston area in late 2019. I found Kara through my property search on Zillow. Wow, what a gift Kara turned out to be. I reached out to her with blind trust, not knowing Kara from Adam. Kara quickly responded to me within minutes. And within a few short days, Kara put me onto the property which is now my home. And I love it. Kara handled everything with the utmost professional touch. She made the transition of me relocating 1500 miles away to my new home an absolute breeze. Everything Kara did was well thought out and executed perfectly. The closing was seamless. And I could not have been more pleased. I have worked with dozens of realtors over many years. No one in real estate anywhere can outperform Kara Courtney. Kara is aEURoethe top.aEUR? I hope and pray that you turn to Kara for all of your real estate needs. Kara will serve you with precision. And you will be overjoyed with the outcome. ~David S. Bonsall, Ca.

ReviewKara did an amazing job helping us find our dream home. She was there every step of the way helping us find the exact home we wanted, to hammering out the small details with the builders and the loan managers and underwriters. She was especially helpful on the final walk through pointing out things that needed to be fixed or taken care of before we moved in, things that we would have never thought to point out or weren't sure if we could voice up she got taken care of. She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and I strongly recommend her and her team!

ReviewWOW, Kara was amazing. She sent me three houses online and the home I was not even looking for popped out at me and I knew I had to have it. Kara used a great plan in negotiating my price, since there were multiple cash offers and I wanted that house more than anything. Kara has a great personality, she is superb to work with, there were NO surprises, and she is helping me find the right people to fix the minor things that need tweaking for me.I think Kara would be a definite asset if you are searching for a quality realtor who knows what she is doing!

Kara not only helped to guide us to the perfect home, but made the entire process a breeze. She absolutely knows her stuff, and is professional, honest and reliable to boot. We used her referrals for a lender and home insurance and both turned out to be great. She even adorned our new home with a wreath (made of hops for our beer loving family!) and hand delivered Halloween treats and Thanksgiving pie. We can't say enough about our awesome experience!

ReviewKara Courtney, Real Estate Consultant with Windermere Homes and Estates in Carlsbad, California is the most incredible agent I have ever had the opportunity to have represent my interests. Since arriving in California almost 20 years ago, we have purchased and sold 8 properties. The best experience has been the most recent using Kara! Of course, like most good Real Estate agents she is knowledgeable, diligent, responsive and full of integrity. Many things set Kara apart from my previous agents. First, she really listened to our needs and wants and gave us honest, expert advice. Secondly, she marketed my property in creative ways that insured maximum exposure on all social networking and real estate sites. She hired the best photographer and videographer. Besides the best possible pictures, she had a drone video of our home and area of town and even 3-D walkthrough video. Kara was willing to hold as many open houses as we desired (we had over 80!) and encouraged us throughout the process, giving us weekly updates and feedback on the open houses. She was totally invested in helping us get what WE wanted which wasnt a Quick sale, but top dollar no matter how long it took . She never lost interest or focus and was always reachable. Finally, when it comes to follow-up and negotiations, Kara is the best. I can not recommend Kara highly enough and know you will be thrilled with her level of service, especially if you have bought or sold properties through any other realtor.

Kara has been a close personal friend for years. Her warmth, kindness and humble spirit are undeniable, and these qualities make her the ideal Real Estate Professional. Contrary to the typical Realtor stereotype, Kara is honest, patient, not intimidating, respectful, and very considerate. She prioritizes her clients interests above her own and goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are happy! Kara holds herself to the highest standards of professionalism, and she would utilize her dedication, determination and strong work ethic to best accommodate your needs. Kara chose to leave a successful Marketing career in the corporate world to pursue her dream of serving her community as a Real Estate Professional. Do not let the notion that she hasnt been in the Real Estate business for decades deter you from working with her! She has a comprehensive and thorough understanding of the entire home buying process and is knowledgeable about the homes in North County. Additionally, Kara is already well-respected in the Real Estate industry and has amassed a trustworthy network of industry professionals. Kara is extremely passionate and enthusiastic about what she does, and I assure you that you will not be disappointed if you give her the honor of working with you! Personally, Kara has helped my husband and I explore our options with purchasing a rental property. She knows that we may never actually move forward with an opportunity, but she has always been happy and eager to address our questions/concerns and is never pushy. We know the information and advice she provides to us is current, honest and accurate, and having that kind of peace of mind is priceless. It is clear that her top priority is making sure we feel cared for and that we are educated, so that we can make an informed decision if the time comes. I cannot emphasize enough how much I would recommend Kara to work with you too!!

I am a retired military man on a limited income and had thought my chances of buying a home were next to impossible. However, a close friend and fellow veteran introduced me to Kara Courtney and, through her hard work, true dedication, and perseverance, I am about to close on a dream come true: my first ever home! Kara has amazed me all along by keeping me aware of every option and minute detail involved and she is personally responsible for making sure the mortgage lender, seller, agents, and all involved were all singing from the same sheet of very complicated music. I am without words to express my gratitude to this wonderful and dedicated professional and feel humbled that she gave me such incredible service through it all. Kara is the maestro who conducted the orchestra to a grand finale and I am so very deeply grateful! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

ReviewI wish it were possible to give 10 stars!! Kara has been our agent for buying and selling a home, and she is truly exceptional!!!Kara genuinely cares for her clients and did everything she could to find a perfect home for us. She shared with us that when she is working on a deal, she thinks of our money as her money and will go above and beyond to secure the best possible contract for her clients (even if that means less money in her pocket when the deal closes). She worked tirelessly to communicate with the other realtor and with us. She maintains poise, professionalism and always exercises patience. I know she has many other clients and commitments, but she treated us like we were her priority, and I'm sure that all of her clients feel the same way!!In regards to selling our home, Kara's warmth, tenacity and professionalism truly set her apart from other realtors. She goes above and beyond to keep the process moving forward, and her thorough knowledge of the whole home buying process kept us at ease. She made what would normally be a very stressful, chaotic process actually enjoyable!! I wouldn't hesitate to work with Kara again, and I HIGHLY recommend her if you are considering buying or selling your home.

ReviewI am a retired military man on a limited income and had thought my chances of buying a home were next to impossible. However, a close friend and fellow veteran introduced me to Kara Courtney and, through her hard work, true dedication, and perseverance, I am about to close on a dream come true: my first ever home! Kara has amazed me all along by keeping me aware of every option and minute detail involved and she is personally responsible for making sure the mortgage lender, seller, agents, and all involved were all singing from the same sheet of very complicated music. I am without words to express my gratitude to this wonderful and dedicated professional and feel humbled that she gave me such incredible service through it all. Kara is the maestro who conducted the orchestra to a grand finale and I am so very deeply grateful! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
