Our stupid mortgage company made things very difficult at closing. Cal and Luis were exceptionally helpful at smoothing out the bumps in the road and providing lots of advice on the many decisions that needed to be made.
Working with Cal and Luis on the purchase of our first home was an outstanding experience from start to finish. They were knowledgeable, responsive, respectful, and answered all of our questions throughout the entire process. We never felt pressured to make a decision that wasn't right for us. Their professionalism and attention to detail gave us confidence every step of the way. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Communication was always open and they are very comfortable to work with. They had great knowledge of what we were looking for, and dug even deeper. They had no problem negotiating a better deal for us with ease. Their professionalism shines in their knowledge, communication, appearance, and personality.
Lewis was recommended by a family member who used him. He did not disappoint. I gave him my criteria and he only showed me listings that fit what I was looking for. His communication response time was fast and he was very knowledgeable of the area. We definitely recommend him and would use him again.
Luis and Cal worked with us both. They met us at the home for the initial visit after already working with us on finding a lender. They asked questions that we would not have ever thought of. They were easily available both through email, text or by phone. They got to know us as a couple, which meant a lot to us. Every step of the way, they were there with us. We are very grateful and love our new home!
As a mortgage lender, I work with a lot of realtors—and I can confidently say that working with The Cal Brown Group was an exceptional experience. They provide top-tier service by demonstrating professionalism, clear communication, a deep understanding of the real estate process from start to finish and superior knowledge of St. Augustine and the surrounding area. What truly sets Cal and her team apart is how much they genuinely care. They even took the time to provide advice to my son when choosing his high school classes, which had absolutely nothing to do with the transaction—but everything to do with the kind of people they are. That level of care and connection is rare, and it meant a lot to my family. I’d gladly recommend Cal and her team to any buyer or seller—and I look forward to working with them again
Selling properties in the $1.5m+ luxury market is different. It requires a combination of attention to detail, willingness to go the extra mile and an intuition about what it will take. The buyers are far more sophisticated and demanding. Cal and Lu bring different skills and experience that combine to form an impressive mix of data-driven decision making combined with the deft touch needed to make a property look stellar as well as deal with highly selective possible buyers. They are also extremely agile. They managed to oversee the sale of our house in record time. From the first verbal interest, to the money landing in our account: 5 Days. Unbelievable. They moved heaven and earth to make a deal happen when faced with a buyer popped up who was in a hurry. They are fun to work with, are highly trustworthy and care more about their client than their commission. If somebody needs to sell a luxury property, they are the perfect option.
We had an amazing experience selling our home with Cal and Luis. They made a naturally stressful situation feel completely manageable and seamless. Thanks to their expert advice on pricing, marketing, and handling offers, our house sold fast and for a great price. The Cal Brown Group is dedicated, professional, and incredibly sharp—we highly recommend them! We only wish we could have taken them with us for our next house, but a sudden job relocation right after the sale meant God had other plans for our next chapter. They made our move so much easier.
Cal was always responsive, Proactive, supportive, great communicator! Five star treatment all around. I had an unusual historic property which comes with a whole different set of criteria when selling and Cal handled it meticulously. It was a seven figure listing and she was present at every showing, provided great and helpful insight with each perspective buyer… As well as offers and assisted in a solid negotiation and closing. Her materials are impeccable and indicative of a luxury listing. The premiums that she gives her clients even after the sale demonstrates that she’s a class act. If ever I should have another property in the area, I would most definitely enlist her services again.
They're market knowledge and professionalism was above and beyond our expectations. We were very particular on what we were looking for and they were able to meet our needs by showing us multiple homes for what we were looking for. Great job 👍
We were searching for our house for three months, and looked at probably hundreds of properties in all kinds of areas. Cal and Luis were unfailingly patient and worked with us in looking at several very unique historic properties. Ultimately, we chose a more contemporary home with a very tight deadline - Cal made sure our offer was competitive and we got the house! We couldn’t be more grateful for their help at every step and can’t recommend them enough.
Cal was wonderful in helping us sell our condo in FL. We reside in CO and we needed help selling our short term rental along the A1A. She was extremely responsive to ALL of our needs. We listed with Cal and within 1 weekend, our condo was under contract. She went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy. I highly recommend her. When we buy again in FL, we will be calling Cal.
