Carina made our house purchase a positive experience from the very beginning. My spouse and I are first time homeowners and had no idea about the process of buying a home. A few months before we met her for a house hunting trip, she sent us information about the process and then spent at least an hour on two different phone calls going through it with us and patiently and thoroughly answering all our questions. Between the initial call and the house hunting trip, she sent us listings according to our price range, desired locations, and housing requirements. As the trip got closer, she organized our top choices and scheduled walk throughs and even printed the listings for us. During the trip, she picked us up and drove us to the homes so we could focus on looking around and taking in the neighborhoods. She thoroughly understands the housing market in Albuquerque and answered all our questions about different neighborhoods and home styles. As she listened to our comments about the homes we visited, she intuited what we really wanted even before we could express it and pivoted quickly, guiding us to the right neighborhoods with homes we were excited about. On our second day of visits we found the right house, the next morning she had helped us submit an offer, and the morning after that it was accepted! After the house was under contract, Carina kept us on track to meet all of the deadlines. Her weekly progress updates were so helpful! She worked with the lender to make sure they had what they needed, she recommended solid home inspectors with great customer service, and she proactively reviewed inspection reports and made recommendations on how to respond to them. Even after the closing, she stopped by the house each week to check on the property until we arrived in Albuquerque a few weeks later. Buying a home was daunting, but Carina had our backs and helped us feel satisfied with the decisions we made and the home we bought.
