“Kari always replied to our communications immediately, day or night, which makes a huge difference when buying a home in Southern California. Her timeliness and perseverance are what found us our new home and her knowledge and organization helped to seal the deal.”
To Whom It May Concern:
Kari Carson caught our attention at an open house when she mentioned that she was a buyer’s agent. She seemed genuine, and we connected with her right away. At the time we were not seriously considering a home purchase so we got her card and moved on. Over the next couple of months, after many more open houses and many agents who wanted to take us on as clients, Kari hadn’t escaped our minds. No other agent we met made quite the same impression on us. Instead, we experienced everything from aggressive pursuit, to condescending attitudes, to lack of sufficient knowledge to tardiness and even some laziness.
We did meet some good agents along the way, but once again, Kari outshined them all. Kari is both easy-going and down-to-earth which made us feel very comfortable. We initiated contact with Kari (who immediately remembered us) and we never looked back. In our first meeting she had thorough, intelligent and honest answers to all of our questions. She enthusiastically pursued our highly specific needs, even though our case seemed a bit hopeless in the current market. Kari always replied to our communications immediately, day or night, which makes a huge difference when buying a home in Southern California. Her timeliness and perseverance are what found us our new home and her knowledge and organization helped to seal the deal. Because she kept us up to date on the latest market changes we found a house that we loved and she got us a showing the same day it went on the market. That allowed us to make the first offer and ultimately win the house.
Knowing that Kari was kind and calm, we were also very surprised and impressed by her candid exchanges with the sellers. She was not fazed by making demands that she thought fair or suggesting courses of action that seemed confrontational, always keeping our best interests in mind. She was able to handle any situation with grace.
Also, Kari’s connections in escrow were stellar. We had initially planned not to use any professionals suggested by our agent because we were worried that ulterior motives (such as pushing the sale through) would take precedence over doing a thorough investigation of the home. That was not the case here. Because Kari was so honest and trustworthy we felt comfortable choosing from her top suggestions. We found out through research that all were highly rated and we had good experiences with each one.
Kari is an agent that we will eagerly recommend to anyone looking to buy a home. She is smart, reliable, honest, organized, timely, capable, and a delight to work with. She was a pleasure from start to finish. If not for her, we would be in a different home and our lives would probably not be quite as awesome.
Sincerely,
Brett and Trina Jacobsen
