My wife and I have just recently completed a sale in Denver and a purchase in Oceanside…read moresimultaneously. What could have been a harrowing experience was made much less stressful due to the advice, attention and expertise of these two experienced realtors. I can't say enough good things about Bianca and Sarah, their attention to detail, communication skills, knowledge of the market, trends and processes (different from Denver market), their network of awesome professionals to connect us (and who supported us throughout our sale), and finally the giving of their time while we were looking for homes in the area and while we were back in Denver shopping online, asking questions or just stressing about something --they made everything so easy! They were on top of everything, including working directly with our Denver realtor and title company to coordinate a smooth transition. In all reality, our Oceanside purchase went MUCH smoother than our Denver sale. These women are on their game 100% of the time. 5 stars isn't a high enough rating, in my opinion, for the services and help that they provided to us -- professionally and on a personal level, as well. We will use them for our next home purchase/sale for sure, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in the San Diego area and beyond!

Bianca you are the best agent we've worked with. Thank you so much!

Our home was listed with another broker who didn't know the area well. It stayed on market for over…read more100 days, with very few visits, and it never sold. We ended up calling Karen as we knew that she was the La Jolla expert and wanted to get her professional advice to re-list and sell our home. I'm glad we made this decision because 17 days later we received an offer and went under contract. We appreciated the attentiveness, well-thought out strategies and great communication throughout this entire transaction from beginning to end. If you need an experienced agent to sell your home, Karen is the agent to call!

Absolutely the Realtor You Want in Your Corner!…read more Working with Amy Saffmlar at Coldwell Banker West was like having a real estate fairy godmother--except instead of a wand, she wielded market knowledge, contract expertise, and a pleasantly persistent attitude that kept us on track (even when we got distracted by listings with wildly impractical spiral staircases). Amy was thorough to the point of wizardry, answering every question before we even knew we had it. She double-checked the fine print, negotiated like a pro, and somehow managed to make the whole home-buying process feel almost stress-free. And let's be honest--that's a minor miracle. Her persistence was the perfect balance of "We've got your back" and "Hey, let's not let this dream house slip away because you're overthinking the paint color." We never felt pressured, just well-guided--like having a friend who really knows what they're doing (and isn't afraid to tell us when we're being ridiculous). If you want an agent who's smart, dedicated, and just the right amount of relentless, Amy is your person. We'd buy another house just to work with her again--but we think she'd tell us that's a terrible financial decision. Thanks, Amy--you made this whole thing way easier than we expected!

We can't say enough about how amazing First Team was and how thankful we are for all their help. -Kimmy & Dan Conley (Polly too)

Please contact me before thinking about doing business with Carol L Morrow. She was our buyer agent…read morefor a new purchase in 2019 and did a decent job. In 2021, we decided to sell the house and purchase a new home. We agreed with Carol to a 4.5% total commission plus another .5% reduction because we were getting offers slightly below list price on our house. I didn't get the extra .5% commission in writing, and she didn't honor it. This cost us over $3,000. For the purchase of our new home, we decided to use Carol as well. She worked hard to find us a house in this hot market, and she agreed to give us $3,000 in general credit because the sellers agreed to only a $1,500 credit. We have this in writing. A few days before closing, there was a leak in the roof, and the seller agreed to give us an additional $18,730 credit towards closing costs. Because of this credit, Carol voided the $3,000 credit that she owed us from Compass. She informed us, while we were on our way to signing the closing docs, that there is a federal limit on credits ($19,630.18) that can be applied to closing costs. We are owed a total of $23,230 in credits. Also, the cost of the roof repair included an additional $2,125, which we had to pay out of pocket. This should have been the sellers' responsibility. Also, she recommended us to a terrible lender, Randy Nathan, from Guaranteed Rate. He gave us a ton of misinformation and confused us to no end. We have sent a payment demand letter to Carol, and we will be suing her (and Guaranteed Rate) next. We are owed well over $8K. Please contact me at 2.4.0.4.7.6.8.5.2.7 before using her as an agent. You can easily find me on LinkedIn as well.

No words can describe Carol and give her justice!…read more Carol was my realtor from July 2014 to late October 2014 when I closed on my first home!!! Before Carol I went through 4 Realtors within 2 years and my life was miserable and stressful to say the least. They all were fired because they couldn't meet my time schedule and wanted me to settle on price/location/amenities/etc. I had to to keep upping my price because the market kept going up while I was shopping for a home. Long story short, Carol was patient, understood the difference between my needs and wants, was sensitive to my family situation, made me feel like I was her only client (even though I knew she had other clients we had to deconflict with) but most importantly she stuck to her guns and fought for what was right. I won't give away her secrets...just know she's that GREAT and if you're not on her team, BEWARE! Carol was there for me throughout the entire time from the day we met, throughout the entire process once my offer was accepted and continues to be there for me since I've closed on my home. Carol is a people person and takes the time to get to know you and all those involved in your home buying process professionally and personally as it helps her to understand how she can better serve you to get you into the home you want. Carol never once asked me to settle and furthermore ensured I didn't settle when times got tough. Due to my hectic schedule, Carol made herself available when my schedule was free whether it be early in the morning, late at night or when I had a quick break. Carol was always honest and upfront with me. We had an open kimono relationship which is why she found my home. Granted there were times she would have to bring me back to reality on price/location/amenities which I respected her for that. When it's all said and done, I keep Carol's number in both my phones and DEFINITELY RECOMMEND her to family and friends. You won't be disappointed. Thank you again Carol...my mother and family love the home!!!
