We had an excellent experience working with Tim and team as our buyers agent. Tim helped us get the home we wanted in a multiple-offers situation and orchestrated a seamless closing. Everyone on his team is knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly responsive. We will definitely be recommending them to friends and family and would love to work with them again on future transactions.

We needed to relocate from OC to North County for work reasons, but were also looking for our next home to serve as our dream retirement home. The type of property we were looking for was in short supply and high demand. We were in many ways financially outgunned by the other buyers. Ultimately, we were able to get the house we wanted at a fair price and Charlie was instrumental in getting us there for a number of reasons: 1. Responsiveness: He was always available when we needed him. Paperwork was turned around quickly even outside of regular 9-5 hours. When we needed to be first at a property, he was there. He never left us hanging. 2. Process expertise: Charlie is a great communicator and always kept us informed as to what to expect in the process. There were no surprises. He also has solid relationships to help with all the other aspects of buying such as mortgages, inspectors, etc. 3. Negotiation skills: Because we were outgunned, we needed to try less conventional strategies to get an accepted offer. Charlie is good thinking outside of the box and it took responsiveness, quick thinking, and an aggressive strategy to close our deal. Charlie is also very personable and knowledgeable about the region. I highly recommend him.

Charlie Cairncross is the real deal - an expert and professional in his field. I had the pleasure of working with Charlie to sell my home in Carlsbad, which he and his team did in just a couple of days of putting it on the market. After putting my house on the market and pulling it off, my partner and I decided to look for a new agent. We had agents calling us, texting us day and night trying to get our listing after we pulled it. Charlie's voicemail stood out. Why? First, his results. He is a top agent in the area and has sold a significant number of homes. But why? Because he is knowledgeable, professional and genuine. Selling and buying homes can be stressful. Charlie is trustworthy and you know he is looking out for your best interest. He did such an amazing job selling my home that I choose to work with him to find me a new home as well. After the seamless experience working with him in selling my home, I knew he was my guy. Charlie takes the time to understand his clients needs and is committed to delivering on that. He doesn't wait for homes to come on the market, this guy is persistent (in a good way). He printed out a map of the area I want to buy in and is proactively calling homeowners to gage their interest in selling their homes. If I see a house driving around that I like, he will pick up the phone and call the owners. He is on my team. I can't recommend Charlie enough. You will be in good hands if you get the pleasure of working with him.
