We have live in St. Augustine for many years. Buy and sale properties every few years, but we have found Mrs. Brown always keep us inform on anything that benefits us. That's why we came back to her again and again.
There aren’t enough accolades to describe the professional experience and work ethic of Carolyn Brown. She has worked with us through 3 difficult transactions.….two sales and one purchase. In 2019 when it was a buyers market she was able to sell our high end beach house in 30 days after it had languished on the market for 6 months with another realtor. Her marketing skills with storyboard renovation options and advanced technology solutions like Matterport visual walk throughs and geofencing targeted marketing made a huge difference in finding the right buyer for that property. In 2021 we found a property we wanted in this extremely competitive sellers market and turned to Cal once again to help us win the bidding war on this home that fit all our criteria for our forever retirement retreat on the river. The house came up for sale on a Friday and Cal made sure we had crafted a winning bid by Saturday morning even though she was travelling through airports on vacation. She then helped us sell another property very quickly and with MANY challenges from a demanding buyer in order for us to avoid financing the new property, saving us a significant amount of finance and loan charges. We had near simultaneous closings which were extremely difficult. She and her team followed up on every detail to ensure we had no major roadblocks to closing. It truly was miraculous that we were able to pull this off. The knowledge and attention to detail cannot be overstated because I KNOW most realtors are not this experienced. We are seasoned investors who have purchased and sold 25+ homes in this area over the past 30 years and Carolyn is by far the most experienced agent we have ever encountered in this very crowded market of realtors. If you want the best possible chance of buying in this competitive market or selling for top dollar you need the best professional representation this area has to offer….Carolyn Brown is the one!
Carolyn Brown has helped my parents buy and sell 3 homes in the St. Augustine area. She goes above and beyond for her clients and overachieves every step of the way. I highly recommend Carolyn if you’re looking to buy or sell in St. Augustine! Thank you Carolyn for your dedication, wisdom, & helping my parents dreams come true!
Carolyn helped me sell my house. So attentive to my concerns, and clearly, the best interest at heart for me, to get the most out of the sale. She paid attention to the numbers around the area in real estate market, advised and adjusted everything to suit me better. In the end, Carolyn knew what I was hoping to achieve from some of the proceeds from the sale....support the women from my village in Kenya, with a sewing school. She gave me a brand new sewing machine!! I'll be forever grateful, to one of our coffee customers, my cheerleader, my neighbor, and ultimately, my friend!
Cal did a great job with us by letting us know the market conditions, what homes met our needs and where they are. Add to that, a very prompt and communicative agent who truly served us with her questions to all involved, not just the sellers agent. After the contract, she was dynamic and involved in moving the process along smoothly as well as helping link us up with invaluable resources to make our house ours.
Cal is knowledgeable, professional and helpful. She gets the job done!
Cal was top notch from the very beginning when she responded to my initial inquiry on her day off all the way through assisting us with references and contacts to help us move to St Augustine from out of town. Consider her a valuable asset and friend to me and my wife!
Car is awesome! We looked at homes both in- person and remotely from Texas for probably a year until we found the right one. She never gave up on us. She is smart, fun and very easy to work with.
I must first state that Carolyn (Cal) was truly professional throughout the entire process. We felt very comfortable with her from our initial phone interactions through to the closing. Cal has a calm demeanor, which we feel is important as home shopping and buying can be an emotional roller coaster. Although she presents in a calm manner, she was a strong, and professional advocate for us when it came to writing the contract, and the subsequent negotiations. She and her team were all very easy to work with. She really listened to what we needed, wanted and most importantly to the price we wanted to pay. She showed us homes in the St. Augustine and Palm Coast area. We were out of state home hunters, and when we flew in, we had limited time. Cal and Luis worked with us to show us as many homes as possible that fit our criteria. Luis took the time to get to know us and what was important to us has homebuyers. We did not know the market, but Cal did and was able to help us determine if a property was listed at a fair market price. After we left on a Sunday, a new listing came onto the market the following Tuesday, Luis called us with what seemed like the perfect home for us. We flew back down on Wednesday, as houses are selling so quickly, and I am happy to say I am writing this review from our lovely home in Palm Coast, Florida. Both my husband and I highly recommend Carolyn, Luis and the rest of her team. We have referred her to some friends who had very specific criteria for the home and location they were looking for, and she was able to also help them find their dream home in the Palm Coast area.
My husband and I have worked with Cal on three different real estate transactions and can speak to our experiences with her as both buyers and sellers. Cal is truly the consummate professional. She excels with providing a tailored and highly personalized experience for her clients and genuinely listens and strives to meet her clients expectations and goals. She is exceptionally talented at marketing and generously pours energy and creativity into crafting beautiful materials to sell her properties. She is also dedicated to providing a high level of service for every client; you will feel like you are her only client! Whether your budget is high or low, and regardless of whether you are local or not, Cal will give you the same level of care and attention. Cal also excels at networking and has surrounded herself with a team of dedicated professionals who make every step of your transaction effortless. On top of the that, Cal maintains her calm, warm and positive attitude at every turn and is a diplomatic and earnest advocate for her clients. If that’s not enough, Cal is a topnotch tour guide and can provide local insight into what the area has to offer. She truly loves this community and is an indispensable asset to the local real estate market.
Carolyn did a fantastic job selling my income property and finding me another investment property in record time. She always made me feel I was the only customer she had. Her Steely Determination, Ability to Negotiate, Integrity, Dedication, Enthusiasm, and keen eye make her the best real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend her.
We are beyond blessed and grateful to have had Cal’s help with finding our home. After one day of viewing homes, we immediately found the one we wanted. Though it had multiple offers on it (and one coming in as we left) Cal guided us to secure our dream house immediately and our offer was accepted the same day. She is so pleasant to work with, the seller and the seller’s realtor had nothing but amazing things to say about her. I truly believe it was her kind, faithful and committed personality that aided us in being the family selected for the home. If you are considering working with Cal, come ready to be lifelong friends with her. She truly is a gem. We love you Cal!
