Based on our outstanding experience selling our home in Carlsbad, we would highly recommend Frani Foltz to anyone in the area looking to buy or sell! Frani was extremely professional and had an exemplary understanding of the market in the local area. She developed the perfect game plan to sell our home, executed the associated campaign flawlessly, and always kept abreast of what was happening every step of the way. Frani also negotiated superbly and we ended up selling our for well above above our expectations. Great job, Frani

I was so grateful to be introduced to Kara by my Aunt Bette, who enjoyed a very successful career in real estate, and chose Kara to partner with, as she was nearing retirement. That was the highest recommendation for a real estate professional anyone could've given me. Since that time, Kara has represented my wife and I on a number of transactions. We have purchased, sold and leased property with one thing in common, Kara was on our team. She has rolled up her sleeves and worked long hours to clean, perform preliminary inspections, stage and have properties professionally photographed prior to listing for lease or sale. Her network of industry professionals to assist her in promoting properties are amazing. Even in the challenging times we faced this past year, the professional photography and virtual videos she organized, made the properties safely accessible to potential tenants and buyers.
Have you ever heard the expression, "if you want to get something done, give it to a busy person"? Kara is that person! She works tirelessly and diligently for her clients' best interests. She is also a tremendous resource! When we were recently presented with an opportunity to purchase a vacation rental, we immediately called Kara, who promptly ran the comps for the property we wanted to purchase as well as those properties which needed to be sold to make the deal happen. We decided that using Harcourts Live Auction was a unique method to drive traffic to the homes which needed to be sold, and we received multiple "auction ending" offers! We even set a new sales record in the Faire Harbour community! Which by the way, was "fair" as it is an amazing property! With her guidance and support, our dream property is now ours' to use, rent and share with family and friends.
Even after the transactions were completed, Kara remains a huge advocate and resource. In fact, I think iPhone needs a "Kara" app, where we can each benefit from her wealth of information, right at our fingertip

SHE WAS REFERRED TO US BY OUR FRIENDS.
We spent a lot of time looking online for a home before we met Danielle. She was referred to us by our friends. We already knew what a wonderful job she had done helping them. We were surprised how quickly our purchase went. The market in Orange County is fast paced and intense. We were very thankful to have Danielle help us negotiate and prepare us for every step.”

MICHAEL MANFREDI, Harcourts Realtor, proved to be the best real estate contact we have ever made. He goes the extra mile for you for sure. He is excellent at his craft. Michael creates a timeline of events for your project and keeps to the schedule. You’ll always know what happens next, which puts your mind at ease. Michael’s team of experts from coordinator to escrow were efficient and friendly.
For these reasons we have chosen to use him several times over the years. We have had an “auction” sale, followed by purchase of a new home and sale of a parents older home. Price range makes no difference to Michael, his efforts are always his very best no matter what. Each time his understanding helped direct us successfully to our goal. He is a good listener and guides you through all the steps to accomplish the best outcome using excellent advertising and staging. He also prequalifies potential buyers to bring in strong offers which saves everyone’s time.
Communication with Michael puts your mind at ease as he’s always available to answer your questions and concerns by call or text. Additionally, his vast knowledge of lending and mortgages benefits you as the buyer or seller.
We recently needed to settle an estate with a full house of furniture and full garage etc. We didn’t know where to start. Michael was helpful to get us in touch with contacts for an estate sale, a contact for clearing-out the remainder of items plus a cleaning crew to get the house prepared for sale. Michael quickly got us on the right path followed by photos and an open house. He worked in the background to accomplish all flawlessly and had strong offers right away ready to present.
Harcourts is local and also has a world-wide presence by online auction. Whether the online auction is best suited for your property or traditional sale, Harcourts has proven to us to be successful at selling our home, or help find a new home. We have had both scenarios and each went better and faster than expected. We feel that’s primarily due to Michael’s willingness to show the property in its best light and bring in the right buyers for the home. When searching for a new home you can trust his opinion about choosing the right location and paying the right price.
Michael has shown he is an expert in his field. We have felt completely supported by Michael through three different transactions. He’s a great agent to partner with. He communicates with you and has a great personality with a sense of humor. He’s easy to do business with. We highly recommend him for anyone seeking a smooth, seamless sale or purchase completed on time with every detail covered. Thank you Michael.

Jim was such a pleasure to work with! Not only is he hard working, experienced and knowledgeable about real estate, but he is very competent, clear, articulate, and driven. These attributes alone make him the perfect salesman, but he is also a kind, persevering, sincere, dignified human being with integrity. There are endless complimentary adjectives to use to describe him!

"I would definitely recommend Frani as she is the consummate realtor who delivers results! My wife and I were new to the Carlsbad area and were looking for a rental home and Frani was not only patient with us, but she was extremely attentive, knew every aspect of the area, and offered sound advice throughout the entire process. As a result, we ended up purchasing a new home rather than renting. She came to our initial meeting with very helpful information and explained her process in a way that definitely showed her expertise and treated us as if we were her only client. We couldn’t be happier with both our investment and with the service we received from Frani as she made buying our new home a fantastic experience.

Mr. Manfredi is above and beyond what I have experienced with realtors during my life time. I have a close friend that is a realtor but I chose Mike instead because of what Mike showed me by doing more research and actually helping with painting, yard work and doing whatever was necessary to make it a smooth transition during the process. He went above and beyond many times. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know.

My wife and I have used Dusty for multiple transactions over the years and he has always been great to work with. He understands the market and has always had our best interests at heart. He listened to our requests and followed through with them without trying to change our minds to make a quick sale. He is always responsive and takes the time to walk you through the entire purchase process, I would recommend Dusty to my family and friends.

Jocelyn was an absolutely amazing realtor! My husband and I chose Jocelyn to help sell our home. From our first conversation until closing, she was our advocate. Jocelyn was constantly researching and analyzing the properties that were on the market so that we wouldn’t have any missteps when we listed our property. My husband and I were blown away by the many hours that Jocelyn poured into this research. Jocelyn provided us with professional and detailed proposals which included: Market analysis, pricing strategy, and a projected calendar of sale. Jocelyn’s listing tools are above and beyond anything we saw on Zillow or Redfin. Her listing tools for our home included: Professional photos, 3-D Virtual Tour, AND a very professional and beautifully created video tour! Jocelyn was there to advise and help us with her resources to prepare our home to go on the market. Once listed, her Open Houses were professionally executed with beautiful staging and informative handouts. There were literally crowds in our home! We sold our home after the first open house with a 14-day escrow which closed on time! Jocelyn stayed on top of every aspect of the transaction by maintaining excellent communication with us. If you are fortunate enough to have found Jocelyn to either buy or sell your home, it is a gift. I do not believe that it is possible for any realtor to do more, or to be more passionate that Jocelyn, and we give her our highest recommendation!

Our realtor, Justin, was absolutely fantastic in every way.
As first-time homebuyers, he made us feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations and never made us feel like a burden, despite our frequent questions. He was always upfront with us and very clearly had our best interests at heart at all times.
Despite a shortage of available houses, Justin was always optimistic and assured us he would find us the perfect home. And, within a couple of short weeks, he was right. His expertise was invaluable, and we would not have succeeded without him. We would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy a home.

In buying a house, the key is getting a good Realtor and Rafael is the best person for the job. He is very reliable, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable of the industry. He will help you from start through finish — no pressure. We liked working with him because he did not only help us purchase our dream home while working within our budget, he also taught us lot in the process. He gave us access to his trade tools which made it easier for us in searching for the home we liked. I highly recommend Rafael.
