Carl Svanstrom

I've bought an sold many properties, and Carl is by far the most professional, tenacious, organized, informed, smart, detail-oriented and just plain KIND realtor I've ever worked with. I really can't say enough great things about him. I HIGHLY recommend you use him him!

Carl is an amazing agent. He is truly looking out for your best interests. He was kind and patient with our needs and wants. We had a very narrow area we were looking in with very specific needs with regards to a new house. We spent 6 months waiting for the right house and went to countless showings. He never pressured us to hurry up and pick a house that was less than perfect. He was always telling us not to settle, just be patient and the right house will come up. He was right. We were able to find the exact right fit for us right in our budget. Carl was also very kind with our children. We brought them with us on our showings and he made a point to include them in the activities. Carl is able to really connect and negotiate with sellers and their agents. He was able to help us secure two houses for reasonable prices, with minimal back and forth and without us having to offer much or any above the asking prices. The first house we had under contract, there ended up being several structural issues that were not disclosed, but were found upon inspection. Carl was able to get the contract negated and our earnest money returned quickly so we could continue searching for homes. Carl also sold our house with ease. He gave us suggestions on what to do and what not to do in order to get our house ready for sale. He was able to identify and use the pulse of our neighborhood to highlight our home, looking at the nearby schools, parks and other nearby perks. Within four days of putting our house on the market we had several offers, all of which were above the asking price. The selling process went smoothly. We were very satisfied with the experience we had with Carl. I would and have recommended him to everyone looking for an agent.

Carl is an extremely patient and hard working professional. He listens very carefully to your needs and wants. He was able to help us sell our home while we were away on a week long vacation. Before we got home, we had a contract to sell in hand. He was always available for any concern or question. He helped us to strategize in order to sell our home for a great price based on the condition of the home and the area the home was located. We had some challenges with our situation and he navigated the challenges masterfully. I would highly recommend Carl to any seller. He excels at communication with the other parties involved to make a deal that makes sense go to completion. Our house was sold as is, with known differed maintenance issues known and priced accordingly. He communicated well with the buying party to minimize what we had to do in order to close the sale based on how we priced the house and the requests of the buyers. Carl was extremely patient in helping us to find our new home. We warned him the process could take time as we didn't know what we really wanted. He listened to what we wanted and needed and then helped us to work out what we truly needed in a new home. We ended up with a perfect home in our perfect location. The area we bought in does not have houses go up for sale very often. He was able to move quickly and communicate with the sellers very effectively such that we got the home with minimal negotiation at a reasonable price.
