Carina is truly delightful to work with. She's knowledgeable, patient, and extremely competent all wrapped in endless compassion. She helped us find our perfect home and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
I was living in Arizona, trying to purchase a home for my stepson in Albuquerque. My laughter, living in Montana, was assisting me in finding a realtor. We selected Carina because of her reputation. Carina not only had to deal with my son, but for purposes of financing etc., had to deal with me, Sarah and my mortgage company. Carina juggled the search for a home with my son, keeping my daughter and I informed, and ultimately coordinating with the escrow, mortgage and insurance companies. Carina not only found a home that fit my son’s criteria, but also fit my financial criteria. Upon finding a house she scheduled all the inspections personally. Attending all of them. Upon their completion she used her exceptional knowledge and negotiating skills to get a reduction in price based upon the inspection reports. Everything was accomplished in barely over a month’s time. Anyone who is in need of a realtor in the Albuquerque area could not do better than hiring Carina Cozby. Her knowledge of the real estate market and the real estate business was exceptional. Her energy, her communication skills, her caring personality and her unfailing dedication to her clients was greatly appreciated by my family. To put it as simply as possible, which I have done personally, she is a Pro!
We were interested in moving to Albuquerque from several states away - and the idea of purchasing a home was a bit daunting. Carina made the entire process easier. She kept us informed, educated, and updated at every step. When we were ready to look at homes, she dedicated hours of time to helping us find the perfect one while we were in town. And, when it was time to negotiate terms and finalize the sale, her extensive knowledge and experience came in handy. She even referred us to some good external resources that no doubt will become essential as we move and settle in.
When you need to sell your home that you have lived in for 32 years it will be wrought with emotions that cloud the process of how to go about this feat. Carina steps in to give a positive and realistic view of your home followed with market analysis to understand the current market. Carina is present 100% of the time. Carina is very organized and leads you through the selling process, removing your emotions to realize the goal of letting go to an awesome buyer who will love your home as much as you do. What you can expect from Carina: *Weekly Monday morning reports with a detailed description of the action on your home for the last week. *You think you will need more attention than a weekly report? No worries because Carina is available by text or phone number even though she has dozens or more clients that she cares for. Yes, 'cares for'. Being a realtor is not just a job for Carina, but a vocation to use her talents to help others in perhaps one of the most challenging experiences. *When your house sells in a very short timeline, Carina is there to lead you on to the next steps once again receiving emails guiding you on. *When the inspector finds shortcomings in your home (gasp), Carina calmly gets bids from contractors to 'fix' those items so buyer and seller are happy. The choice of how much to 'fix' is ours of course, but the guidance of Carina is invaluable and in our case followed. *You can expect for Carina to help you in the final negotiations to make the sell of your home a reality. Carina knows the current market, the feel of the community, the current financial world that all effect the price of your home. This is invaluable as your strive to put a price on your home and adjust it as it remains on the market. She strives for your home to be competitive in the housing market. Having Carina be our selling broker for our house was the wisest decision letting a professional represent and help us.
Carina is the best. She has helped me with 3 separate moves and she was fantastic each time! Carina was helping many other families at the same time she was helping me and I thought I was her only client. She made me feel so taken care of. She stayed in constant communication and answered every little question I had without making me feel bad for asking. I can not recommend Carina enough.
Carina knows how to find perfect comparable homes and how to stage and have the house photographed for maximum impact. She was a blessing with abundant knowledge and patience with our questions. Could not have found a better agent or person to be our guide during this emotional time. Thank you, Carina!
Carina did an excellent job helping us submit a winning offer and complete the closing process. She was very responsive, even right after we took a few months off house hunting and contacted her out of the blue. She broke down the closing process into manageable steps. Thanks, Carina!
Amazingly knowledgeable. Very focused on helping her clients. And one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
Carina was easy to work with because of how realistic she kept the experience for me. She was straight forward and I was never confused about steps of the process. She also kept me accountable for not settling on my first home, consistently reminding me that "I can make this work" is not how to make the biggest financial decision of my life. When we found "the one," we literally ran to our respective cars and jumped into action to make an offer. Now I'm moving into my first home, and it's absolutely a dream come true. Dreams can be a reality, if you have the right person leading you there with a level head and realistic goals - Carina provided just that.
Carina has helped me buy and sell three homes, and I couldn't be more grateful. She works tirelessly for her clients, making what can be a stressful process seamless and easy. Carina is honest, professional, and always puts her clients first. Thank you, Carina, for everything you do – keep being amazing!
We've had Carina twice as our agent; once as a buyer and once as a seller. She is incredibly knowledgable, empathetic, and effective. This sale was a challenging one due to a few external events, but Carina handled it well.
Carina is the most organized, informed, professional, seasoned real estate agent anyone could ever ask for. I never dreamed selling a home would be so easy. Thank you for your amazing kind and knowledgeable service.
