Carole Downing

When we listed our home with Carole Downing, we did not know what to expect. It turns out that she was not only friendly, easy to work with, and accessible, she was smart, professional, and a step ahead of everyone else. Her experience, knowledge of the law, and proactive nature made the selling of our home much easier for us.

Carole is a motivated, proactive, and knowledgeable realtor to whom I enthusiastically give my highest recommendation, period. And here's why: During the search phase Carole's market knowledge and helpful suggestions and (even more importantly) disqualifications helped me efficiently narrow down the type of home and location I would be most happy with. Her patience enabled me to wait through the "almosts" for...the perfect one. Then BAM! The negotiation was crisp and professional with Carole's extensive experience. She gave me confidence I was not overbidding, leveraging the market understanding that came from the search phase. Carole partnered by offering her perspective on price, terms, and strategy, yet allowed me to be in the driver's seat on the items that were most important to me. Carole was super transparent and fair, which drove the deal to... ...the closing phase, where Carole REALLY stood out. Her detail orientation, extensive professional network of contacts, proactivity, responsiveness, and follow through allowed us to close on an aggressive timeline while I was overseas...executing no less than TEN (10) unique inspections and remedies. Yes, it was a complicated home, and I can't imagine tackling it again without Carole's help. Thanks, Carole!!! :-)

We recently had the pleasure of working with Carole on the sale of my home in Carlsbad CA, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the very beginning, she demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the local market, guiding us through every step of the process with ease and professionalism. Carole was always available to answer our questions, no matter how big or small, and provided clear and thoughtful advice that helped us make informed decisions. What really stood out was her commitment to ensuring I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire transaction. Thanks to Caroles hard work and dedication, everything went smoothly, and I am thrilled with the outcome. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and personable real estate agent in San Diego.

Carole is super awesome!!! We bought and sold our beach condo with her in Oceanside and couldnt be happier. Shes soooooo knowledgeable in all the aspects and details of real estate!!! She explained everything really well and I knew any docs that came from her were perfect as shes super meticulous and on your side. I wouldnt want her to be on the other side of sale ??. She was able to negotiate almost everything we wanted and sometimes more than expected!!! Weve known her for more than 10 years and have been enjoying her handwritten cards for all holidays, gifts and personal brownie deliveries for Xmas!!! So happy to have her in our lives!!!

Reliable, precise and professional services, Carole helped us 2.5y ago moving in from Bay Area to Oceanside. Now we're back using her expertise selling the house for a second time. She is on top of things, make the process run smooth and without surprises. Highly recommended!

Wow!!! Carole was absolutely the best! We have bought and sold a number of houses. She was far and away the most amazing person. Carole set us up with a plan to put the house on the market, set up the photography, placed the home on the market and closed the deal in a few days. She was able to get us substantially over the asking price and closing was a breeze. No issues whatsoever. We couldn't be happier with her and would use her again in a minute. I recommend Carole without reservation. If you want a hassle-free sale of your home, reach out to her.

Carole was awesome. She was completely prepared and organized for everything we saw when we bought our home. She drove us all over North County looking at dozens of properties until we found the perfect one. I would recommend her to anyone starting their home buying journey!
