We met Andrea by chance while my husband and I were out for a run in our dream neighborhood. Because of her kind and genuine demeanor, we instantly had a connection. 7 months later when we felt ready to buy a home, Andrea came to mind because she put in the effort to keep in touch with us through her newsletters and phone calls that were always very insightful so we felt very comfortable in trusting her guidance to buy our first home. The whole process from touring homes to putting our offer and going through contingencies, Andrea was so supportive, prepared, and hard working. She always had our best interest in mind and advocated for us every step of the way. She kept the messy paperwork and negotiations behind the scenes and informed us of important updates promptly keeping us in the loop. She worked tirelessly with our lenders during our 21 day escrow to make it all happen! Even after we got our keys, shes continued to offer help and resources for our move and renovations. She still answers our questions promptly; she is such a joy to work with! We would absolutely recommend her to our friends and family because she is a trustworthy expert that helped us turn our first home dream into a reality.

Carole is a motivated, proactive, and knowledgeable realtor to whom I enthusiastically give my highest recommendation, period. And here's why: During the search phase Carole's market knowledge and helpful suggestions and (even more importantly) disqualifications helped me efficiently narrow down the type of home and location I would be most happy with. Her patience enabled me to wait through the "almosts" for...the perfect one. Then BAM! The negotiation was crisp and professional with Carole's extensive experience. She gave me confidence I was not overbidding, leveraging the market understanding that came from the search phase. Carole partnered by offering her perspective on price, terms, and strategy, yet allowed me to be in the driver's seat on the items that were most important to me. Carole was super transparent and fair, which drove the deal to... ...the closing phase, where Carole REALLY stood out. Her detail orientation, extensive professional network of contacts, proactivity, responsiveness, and follow through allowed us to close on an aggressive timeline while I was overseas...executing no less than TEN (10) unique inspections and remedies. Yes, it was a complicated home, and I can't imagine tackling it again without Carole's help. Thanks, Carole!!! :-)

Our experience with Joel as our agent went beyond our expectations! We had such a wonderful time working with him. He was there for us at the drop of a hat, went WAY above and beyond to educate us and CONSTANTLY brainstorm with us to figure out the right decision for our family. He is patient, incredibly intelligent, always allowing for question after question. He would meet us any time and take many-a-call handling our decision making process with care and empowering us with knowledge. Every step of the way Joel was there for us. Joel took such a load off of us in making this huge decision knowing we could completely trust his opinions and advice. After the purchase (of which he guided us beautifully through a very complicated and mind bending process) Joel continued to be there for us with things like meeting someone at the house to open the door for them to get in and do some handy work. I honestly feel like we could call Joel any time, any day and ask for his support. He did not just close on the house and walk away. He continues to be there for us and we know we can lean on him for anything. He has solid, trustworthy connections and relationships with honest and talented people that adds another incredibly valuable layer to Joel. He has connected us with people of the same high integrity to work on the home moving forward. Joel will be the only person we ever use for real-estate. We consider him a close friend

I worked with Carole to sell my home in Oceanside, CA. Even though I had already moved to Florida, Carole went above and beyond to put me in the best position to get my home on the market to sell. She listened to my questions, was responsive to my concerns, and communicated very well throughout the entire process. Her professionalism and experience with real estate in the greater San Diego area came in handy when making repairs to the home to ensure I received the best return on my investment. I appreciate the work she did throughout the entire process. If you need a realtor who puts the client and client experience first, look no further than Carole. Thanks Carole!

Working with Carole was a very satisfying experience. She is very knowledgeable about the North San Diego County market and did a great job with showing us houses that matched what we were looking for. She was very patient (we had a few stop and starts to looking) and professional. Once we decided on a house that we loved, Carole did a great job in negotiating a good deal for us. She also guided us through the buying process to completion. We would highly recommend Carole to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in North County.
