Carol and her team was our listing agent for the sale of our home recently… and she was simply the best. She was referred to us by a website/online service, which generally requires interviewing multiple realtors as part of the process. We were very impressed by her professionalism and her approaches to home sales after talking with her. In fact, we were so impressed that we cancelled appointments with others. As it turns out, Carol was simply the best! Her staging work was so good… with only small changes to the house, we did not know some of the rooms can looks so beautiful, we fell in love with the house again! My wife took so many pictures and had a good time “bragged” about these to her friends on social media. Carol also has a vast network of able contractors/teams, from handyman to roofers, that made the house preparation/marketing went quickly and smoothly. In addition, a great team was there to provide us with their advise every step of the way, making the house sale process to us a lot easier, feeling more comfortable and less stressful. With Carol’s extensive knowledge of real estate market and network of agents in our neighborhood, the sale and offering process seemed so “easier” for us, but we do appreciate that it was because of her hard work and years of relationship building and time-tested/proven strategies with successful results. In a word, we are so happy that Carol was our listing agent, and we recommend her to anyone without hesitation. Thank you so much, Carol !!! - Maggie and James Chou
Carol Sawdey was our real estate agent in the recent sale of our home in San Ramon, California. She was very professional. This was the best move and sale that we have ever had. It was worry-free and very smooth. I highly recommend Carol and her team for your real estate needs.
Carol is simply FANTASTIC! After interviewing other Bay Area Brokers, Carol stood out from the rest! While the other Brokers told us what we should do to increase the value, Carol told us what she would do and did it! She had a vision, made suggestions, obtained quotes, scheduled contractors, confirmed appointments, supervised the projects and ensured quality work! Her Staging Skills belong on HGTV! She is extremely professional, transparent, honest, organized and calming! Making the decision to sell my home of 20 years comes with mixed emotions. Carol understood and respected the sentiment and represented my best interest! Carol did all of this for me after I had already relocated to another state! Carol and Team, thank you again for your expertise, partnership and friendship! I wont hesitate referring Family or Friends in the future!
My wife and I feel very fortunate to have found Carol for our first home purchase. Shes responsive, caring, very giving, and is a professional; helped us make our dream come true in one of the most competitive markets that exists. Carol was able to build a relationship with the listing agent, and landed us a deal within 22 total offers on the property. I would look no further for your real estate representation! Her husband Greg is also very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. THANK YOU!!!
Carol Sawdey was a huge asset in selling my moms house. She provided great insight into the Bay Area real estate market and has strong relationships with the other professionals and service providers involved in preparing homes for sale. Id definitely work with Carol again!
Carol Sawdey is incredibly kind, honest, efficient, and hard working. I call her Mama Carol because of her protective nature with her clients complemented by a personal investment in seeing her clients wishes through. I am a first time home buyer and home owner. As you might imagine, the process can be daunting. My partner and I had previously been connected with another agent at Berkshire Hathaway. The experience wasnt the most positive, and it made us suspect to not only finding a dream home in the competitive Bay Area but in working with agents altogether. I had anticipated real estate agents to be a bit cheeky and pushy, all with the end of goal of closing a sale. When we were reassigned to Carol, it was a breath of fresh air. She was so incredibly warm on the phone and immediately worked to advocate for our needs from talking to our bankers to weekly check-ins. In total, Carol took us to tour over 30 homes, even amid a global pandemic. She was patient with us throughout the process. When we finally found *the* home - and yes, there is such a feeling of certainty when you see the home meant for you, she worked quickly to make us the most competitive buyer and to secure a deal. We wouldnt have been able to buy our home without her personal connections, glowing personality, and dedication. Carol is like family to me now. Im so lucky we had the chance to work with her and I continue to recommend her to my network. She has since secured dream homes for me and my friends. If you find yourself with the opportunity to work with Carol, do not hesitate.
Carol is amazing!!!!!! If you’re looking to buy a home, especially in the east bay tri-valley area (dublin/Livermore/San Ramon/Pleasanton) you need Carol. She’s incredible at what she does; she knows the area, she knows all the agents, she has the inside scoop and she will use her network to get you into your next new home!We were looking for a home for 10 months with another agent and after 17 rejected offers we switched agents - We found Carol! She helped us get the FIRST home we put an offer for. Within 3 weeks of searching! I wish we found her sooner!Not only is she amazing at her job but she’s also a great pleasure to work with, she has a wonderful personality, she’s open, down to earth, very sweet with a kind heart. Cannot say enough great things about her.
We just had our house sold in San Ramon and couldn’t be happier with Carol and the whole process. I basically just dropped everything to her one day before we moved out of state and she took care of the rest for me. The deal she secured for us very well exceeded our expectations. I referred Carol to a family friend who has a very similar situation as mine by simply saying that Carol is the only one I’d feel completely at ease leaving my house behind. I feel I can say the same to anyone who needs a realtor in this area.
We enjoyed working with Carol and Greg during our home selling process and would recommend them to other clients without hesitation.From day one, they were responsible, knowledgeable, courteous and well organized. They came prepared for our first meeting (during our agent selection) with comparable listings, local market information and helpful home selling tips in a well organized and attractive format. From that point on they helped us stage and source all of the assistance we needed to prepare our home, and continued to communicate with us on a daily basis to keep us abreast of changing conditions and potential showings.The end result was dozens of showings starting on day one of our listing, with our home in contract at asking price within 7 days And closed within a month.It’s important to note that we listed our home at the beginning of the pandemic. This proved to be a tricky time all around from staging, photographing and showing the home, but Carol and Greg stayed on top of the continuously changing regulatory environment and kept our home on the leading edge of spring listings. Most importantly, they ensured that all PPE rules were followed during our showings which helped keep our family safe.Thank you both for your hard work and for helping us stay ahead of the busy spring listing season during these trying times!
Weve lived in San Ramon for 20+ years and love the town. Our family made a decision to move to Reno for many reasons. We found our dream home in Reno and now needed to sell our home in San Ramon. Boom the Covid hits right when we put our house on the market. When it usually takes a weekend to sale a San Ramon home now with the virus it was hard to get buyers to even look at our home. After a few tense weeks Carol found us a buyer. She really pulled a rabbit out of a hat. The sign of a great realtor is to get the job done when times are tough.
Carol communicated well from the start, was always on time for appointments and displayed her professionalism and experience throughout.
Carol and Greg are absolutely amazing at what they do. Their many years of experience make working with them a breeze . I highly recommend their service to anyone in the San Ramona valley area
