Carol is a true professional. I used her to buy my condo in 2006 and she is now helping me to sell it. She is just as professional now as she was then. She cares about finding you the right place and takes the time to find that place you will want to call home!
Carol was great. I can't say enough good things about her. If you are looking for a real estate agent, you won't find anyone better than Carol Stanford. She helped me through a short sale, she was able to work with both lenders and get them to agree to the price. She is extremely helpful, returns calls promptly and always and always explains the process.
The absolute right and the best agent in all of San Diego! As first-time homebuyers, Carol took the time to answer all of our questions no matter how minute they may have seemed. Showed concern and care and walked us through the whole process. Even though due to military orders, my wife was stationed in Washington state and I was in San Diego awaiting her arrival, Carol made it simple to sign and complete all the docs necessary. Expert on the VA loan process, highly recommended for all military. Communicates well with sellers, sellers agents, mortgage brokers, and escrow. Carol will get the deal done!
Carol helped us find the perfect home. We looked for a couple of years and she was consistently and energetically available with creative and resourceful ideas on how we might approach our purchase. Carol is up to date on trends and current practices of lenders when dealing with a multiple loan short sale, which our purchase was. She is very competent and honest and also important, Carol has a sense of humor and an inviting disposition, which made all the hours looking at and comparing real estate a pleasure. She has extended her expertise in other areas of real estate and helped friends when they were just getting introduced to the market. I would be happy to work with her again and recommend her most highly.
My wife and I met Carol through one of her sales listings. That particular listing was already in escrow, but Carol offered to help us find another property. Over the course of about six months, Carol showed us many different properties (often on a Saturday or a Sunday afternoon). Her knowledge of the Coronado real estate market was invaluable to us in making the decision to place offers on 3 of the properties. In the end, we were finally able to buy what we think is the right place for us at the right price. I especially appreciated Carol's willingness to go over all of the paperwork with us, her recommendations on what to include in our offer and her suggestions when we received counteroffers. Once we went into escrow things moved along very quickly, but, Carol kept on top of everything and did whatever needed to be done so we could close on schedule. Carol is a true professional and m…

Carol is the absolute best. She went above and beyond to help us buy, rent, and sell our property. I would recommend her to anyone who needs real estate services in San Diego. She helped us right from the moment we met, just hours after moving to SD. She helped us find a condo. We later relied on her expertise and guidance to help us rent our condo. This year we decided to sell, and after getting great advice from Carol on remodels and staging, our condo sold in less than a week at full asking price!
Carol is extremely helpful she responds as soon as you contact her. She is very friendly and sweet. Carol is one of the best agents I have worked with. She was able to find me a perfect home.
Carol was extremely helpful with finding me the condo I was looking for she made time to show me the apartment and was very responsive and took her time to fit the viewing during my schedule also she planned the future for what was going to happen after I signed. It was a very easy and smooth process.
Carol did a fantastic job helping me find and move into a condo in the Bankers Hill area of San Diego. She helped make the entire sales process run smoothly and we closed escrow in a very short amount of time. Her contacts were well-sourced and helpful. She also helped me enormously when it came to dealing with the homeowners association. In addition, her extensive knowledge allowed me to line up reliable contractors to perform upgrades on my new property. I highly recommend her,
My partner and I were very skeptical on the idea of buying a house until we met Carol. Carol answered all our questions with honesty and confidence. Carol made this life decision of buying a house a fun and easy one. She is a book of knowledge and is very dedicated to her clients. Carol was always very responsive and was incredibly thorough in her work. She made the complexity of buying a house a very good experience and I recommend her to all who are seeking to buy or sell their home. She is incredibly detail-oriented and helped us navigate the complex process of buying a home with ease. We knew we were in good hands the minute we met her. She is a skilled negotiator who knows when to push and when to hold back resulting in a great deal on a home in a hot market.
Carol aims to please. She is extremely knowledgeable about the downtown area and the climate of the market. I trusted her instantly, she is quite warm and engaging and truly wants to know her customers and what will make them happy. She sold my condo and kept in regular contact with me regarding potential buyers; it is very evident that she seeks to make both the buyer and seller confident in and happy with their transaction. Thank you, Carol!
Carol helped me tremendously in the sale of my condo in East Village. Prior to listing the property she was instrumental in finding contractors to perform upgrades to the site. She also took great care and showed excellent taste in staging my property and guiding me through the sales process. Once a buyer was found, she handled virtually all of the work necessary to get the property through escrow. Whenever I called with a question she was there to answer it promptly. I am a very busy professional and really don't have the patience necessary for a complicated sale but Carol assumed so many responsibilities and performed them so well. She's an all-around pro!
We just relocated from the Midwest. We worked with Carol in our recent purchase of a condo in the Marina District at downtown San Diego. Carol was recommended to us by my brother-in-law. She delivered in every respect. Being a lifelong resident of the area, she is extremely knowledgeable about the SD real estate market. She was great in guiding us through every step of our entire home-hunting and purchasing experience evaluating our options, negotiating with the seller, and then helping us when we first moved in before any of our furniture arrived. Carol is a highly competent consummate professional with a personal touch and a big heart. We couldn't have found a better agent.
It was the year 2020 (a difficult year for almost everyone around the globe) when we (me, my husband, and our 2 dogs) moved to San Diego from DC. We wanted to take our time to buy our home. It was challenging to find a furnished rental that would allow two demanding dogs and, we were in the midst of Covid. Carol went out of her way to find us a reliable rental place until we found a house to purchase. This gave us the comfort and cushion of time to find the right permanent home for us. Buying a house under Carol's guidance was such a great experience! Throughout the whole process, she was very patient with us (we are a very picky couple) and found us a home that met our needs and wants. She brings a wealth of knowledge on the subject and is magical when it comes to making a solid deal.
Carol was our son's real estate agent when he bought a house in San Diego and he recommended Carol to us. We were interested in retiring to San Diego but were only here for short visits. Carol worked with us for over two years and was dedicated to showing us different options each time we visited. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate market in many parts of San Diego. She never put any pressure on us to buy and when we found the house we wanted, she was extremely professional in working with us to negotiate the price and throughout the closing process. Plus after buying our house, we have relied on Carol for recommendations of professionals for home improvements. Our son recently hired Carol to sell his house, and she did an amazing job with that as well. Carol is great to work with! I highly recommend her.
Carol was extremely helpful she was able to find me the perfect home. She is very responsive even when she is busy. Carol was super sweet and kind. I took her advice and applied it with zero doubt. She is one of the best realtor agents I worked with.
We've worked with Carol on three real estate transactions over the past two years and can't recommend her enough. Our journey began unexpectedly when our original agent had a family emergency. Carol seamlessly stepped in, showing us numerous townhomes in just two days. She secured our first home with skillful negotiation, even though our offer wasn't the highest. For our second purchase, Carol brilliantly outmaneuvered multiple offers. Her innovative approach to property swapping saved us considerable financial stress. Carol's professionalism, intuition, and tenacity are unparalleled. We completely trust her expertise and wouldn't hesitate to engage her services again.
If you are in search of a real estate agent who can exceed your home search needs in every imaginable way, then look no further; Carol Stanford is the agent you have been looking for. Three years ago, I connected with Carol while I was still living in the Midwest and approaching a relocation to San Diego. Carol was gracious enough to assist me long distance in first securing a rental property what a time saver this was, not to mention the limitations that had to be managed during the height of a pandemic. She orientated to the many unique and diverse communities of San Diego and balanced each with my personal preferences. We toured many properties through FaceTime until I found a gem in Bankers Hill. Carol took it a step further by working with the rental agent and negotiated everything on my behalf, greatly relieving the stress during a cross-country move and change in jobs. After settl…

She orientated to the many unique and diverse communities of San Diego and balanced each with my personal preferences. We toured many properties through FaceTime until I found a gem in Bankers Hill. Carol took it a step further by working with the rental agent and negotiated everything on my behalf, greatly relieving the stress during a cross-country move and change in jobs. After settling in, Carol worked with me, on my timeline, slowly inching me toward a home purchase. This would mean looking at numerous properties over the past TWO years and orienting me to communities I knew little about along the way. I might add, Carol’s in-depth knowledge of every square mile of San Diego was so valuable (added bonus: she requires no street map and carries excellent recommendations for best food places, best contractors, best electricians, best shortcuts, best loan originator, best car washes, best you name it!) When it came time to sell my Midwest home so I could purchase in San Diego, Carol went above and beyond by offering input and knowledge to ensure I maximized the sale of my own place. When we eventually came across the perfect property, in the neighborhood I ideally wanted, which also had limited listings, Carol jumped on it, sealed the deal, and made the entire process go effortlessly. Honestly, we owe a great deal to Carol for all she has done and the time and dedication she places on others' personal happiness. When I look out at the amazing sunsets across the beautiful canyon views, I have Carol to thank. Carol is more than a realtor, she is an invaluable professional and resource and more importantly, a dear friend!
Working with Carol to sell my home in the APEX community was an outstanding experience, deserving of more than just five stars. I had to leave for Thailand before the listing even went on the MLS, but Carol made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Carol didn't just manage the sale; she took complete charge of renovating my backyard, transforming it into a beautiful Zen-like garden. Her oversight of the contractors was impeccable, ensuring everything was done to the highest standard. Despite a 15-hour time difference, Carol was always accessible, keeping me informed and involved through phone, email, and text. Her dedication to staying connected across time zones was remarkable and greatly appreciated. One of the most significant aspects of Carol’s service was her foresight in handling the escrow process.

Her dedication to staying connected across time zones was remarkable and greatly appreciated. One of the most significant aspects of Carol’s service was her foresight in handling the escrow process. Knowing I would be abroad, she arranged for me to sign the grant deed in advance, a move that simplified the transaction and avoided the lengthy process of dealing with consular appointments. The result was a successful sale, with the buyers purchasing the house including all the furnishings – a testament to Carol's skill in negotiation and understanding of the market in APEX. I wholeheartedly recommend Carol to anyone looking to sell their property. Her professionalism, market savvy, and commitment to her clients' needs goes above and beyond the typical realtor's call of duty. If you're selling in APEX, or anywhere in San Diego, you want Carol by your side.
