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.

Carina is an expert in her field. Very easy to work with. She isprompt in her responses and she does what she says she will do. I cannot recommend Carina enough.

Carina was simply the best agent I have ever had. She really listened to our needs and wants and tailored the viewings to meet homes that met these items. Most importantly she was very flexible. We needed to change the schedule due to a visit with a guidance counselor, and Carina was able to adjust to it. Additionally post contract Carina kept us up to date on what was happening with inspections, appraisals and other items. If you are buying a home in Albuquerque you can depend on Carina getting you your dream home.

She was so helpful with providing home reviews, walk-throughs, and helping me understand all the little details that go into buying a home. As a first time home buyer, having Carina there to explain and assist me in every step was key to me buying my home. Her negotiation skills allowed me to walk into my home basically turn key and her market knowledge allowed me to instantly know when I found the right home. Her professionalism was astounding, she would respond within a day and quickly provide feedback that I relied on. Carina is your girl if you want a smooth and trustworthy transaction.

Do not waste your time with other realtors! She is by far the most knowledgeable and trustworthy realtor I have ever worked with!

I recently sold my first home with Carina. I was, of course, unfamiliar with a lot of how things worked on the selling side. We also already had our new place out-of-state lined up, so it ended up that I was on the other side of the country for nearly all of the process. Carina was incredibly helpful with the listing process and negotiations, as well as handling the buyer's appraisal, inspection, etc. She really went above and beyond in prepping the house for showing, as well as handling inspection issues and lining up the tradespeople and contractors needed to satisfy the buyer and their lender. She communicated constantly and I never felt out of the loop despite being so far away. I couldn't be happier with the service she provided and the outcome of the sale, and you'll be happy with her, too.

Carina made our experience very easy and pleasant. She alway went above and beyond and strived for perfection!

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.
