From my very first communication with Elaine Carlson, I knew I was working with a knowledgeable realtor. Elaine professionally evaluated the property I was selling, helped me set a price I was happy with and that was competitive for selling quickly, helped me stage the property, and was always available and responsive to my questions and concerns during the very stressful process of selling real estate! With Elaine guiding me I felt I was in very competent hands throughout the process. You want Elaine Carlson as your partner in any real estate transaction!

Elaine is just the best. Very professional, very detail oriented, very personable. My house sold in less than a week, for a price above what I was asking!

From our very first conversation to now, two months after closing, Elaine has taken care of every detail to ensure a smooth house hunting, purchase, and closing process. When issues outside of our control arose, Elaine went above and beyond to mitigate them and to ensure we were able to close and move into our home within our timeline. We relocated from out of state and so Elaine was our 'boots on the ground' when we couldn't be there and communicated with us so that we didn't miss anything. We are grateful for her knowledge and experience, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a home in Palos Verdes.

I have used Elaine Carlson as my real estate agent twice. Choosing her has been one of the best business decisions I have made. Elaine is professional, knowledgable, hard working, detail oriented, friendly, and an expert in her field. Elaine goes above and beyond as an agent to make sure her clients are well represented and get the best outcome possible. I highly recommend her for all your real estate needs. You will not find better.

Please don't waste you time trying to interview and select a better real estate agent than Elaine Carlson, unless the agent happens to be your mother! Please read my wife's review about Elaine, because, as a doctor of education, she's more comprehensive with details. As a former school principal for 34 years, I tend to shoot from the hip using three (3) "c" words to describe Elaine: competent, conscientious, and caring. What else can you ask for in today's market? However, since we have worked with Elaine for a few years buying and selling our homes, I must throw in a fourth word I highly value when I worked with students, teachers and parents: Elaine is ethical. My wife's review: Elaine Murphy Carlson is by far the best realtor! Over the years we have purchased and sold multiple homes. The last two homes with the help of Elaine were the best experience and outcome. She handles all the intricacies of both home sales and purchases with expertise. Her advice about sales price and purchase offers resulted in a top dollar sale and a below market purchase. Elaine is the consummate professional - knowledgeable, thorough, responsive, and sharper than the competition!
