Carolan sold our home in Tesoro. We worked with her for almost a year and developed a strategy for sale since our timeline was so long and had a specific move date in mind. Obviously selling a home in 2023 has its share of challenges and Carolan met them head on. She identified a time period when inventory was low and demand was high and setup walkthroughs for a lot clients and brokers. We had many offers and ended up selling above list. She was very helpful in negotiations and was always available for a quick text or call. The video overviews for each step were super helpful. The pictures looked spectacular so her connection with the photo guy was great.

If we can give Carolan more stars, we definitely would. One of the best in SCV! She found us the perfect home. She worked really hard to make this process as smooth as possible. You definitely want to have her on your side. When I say she absolutely loves what she does it’s because she shows it in more ways than one. We can’t thank you enough for all that you did for us. She is definitely part of our family now!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Carolan as my real estate agent in Santa Clarita, and I cannot say enough great things about my experience. Carolan went above and beyond in a highly competitive market with very low inventory, all while providing invaluable advice and guidance throughout the entire process.

From the very beginning, Carolan was attentive, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market. She showed me multiple listings that met my criteria and was always available to answer any questions I had. She also provided me with great advice on how to craft a winning offer in a highly competitive market, which ultimately helped me get my offer accepted.

Throughout the entire process, Carolan was a true professional and a pleasure to work with. She was always available when I needed her and kept me informed every step of the way. She also went out of her way to ensure that everything went smoothly and that all of my needs were met.

Overall, I highly recommend Carolan as a real estate agent if you're looking to purchase a home, especially in the Santa Clarita area. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to help you find your dream home, provide great advice and guidance, and make the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible, then Carolan is the perfect choice for you!

Carolan is simply amazing, she truly is. I instantly felt comfortable with her as she is specially gifted with the ability to connect with people. Buying a home can be very challenging and at times overwhelming but she made the entire process not seem that way. She breaks everything down and is organized in a way that would impress anyone. Everything always seemed in perfect balance. She made very efficient use of time yet still managed to make everything specially tailored towards you. She is very patient, listens to your needs all the while steering you in a direction that helps in the confusion of a difficult process. She puts her own personal touch on everything in such a unique dynamic way. Leaving you feeling special, like so much time was taken to understand your needs. Carolan is a wonderful realtor, because at the core of who she is, lies a wonderful person which gets reflected in all she does.

I started looking for homes during the summer. I didn’t have an agent yet and left my information with agents as I met them at open houses. Carolan was the only agent to reach out to me. And I’m glad she did!

Throughout the entire process of looking at homes she was very thorough. She showed me any houses I requested and those she thought would also meet my needs.

Once we found a home, she kept me informed and didn’t let anything lapse. We were able to move through escrow quickly and easily without any issue.

Carolan is an agent who will listen and tailor your home search to your specific requests. She always told what she thought and not just what she thought I wanted to hear. I would highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable about the SCV area and is a true professional in her field.

We truly don't believe 5 stars is enough to describe how amazing Carolan is. As first time home buyers, Carolan made the process as smooth as possible, always willing to describe every step of the way and answer any questions we had. She is incredibly hard working, very responsive, and made us feel like a priority. We are so grateful to have had Carolan by our side and have nothing but great things to say! If you're in need of an agent, Carolan is definitely your gal!

Above and beyond!
Carolan was great, easy to talk to and had very effective communication. Being new buyers, we started this whole process when we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Carolan was quick to answer any questions and walk us through every step of the way. When looking through houses her next home team and her put together a book of all the pros and cons of each house with a list of all the pricing and even nice restaurants and stores around. Then after made an offer she created a time line and constantly kept track of all the escrow documents, all the inspections we got done and all the repairs after the inspection. Overall made it a great experience. If you are looking for a real estate agent that will move heaven and earth for you, then look no further Carolan is your agent.

Carolan is everything you hope to have in a realtor and more! The passion she has for her clients finding their dream home, getting the best possible offer accepted and going beyond what her usual duties are is something that is rare to find in a realtor. She was there every step of the way and answered every question I had no matter how many times I asked it. Her kindness, enthusiasm and knowledge was exactly what I need during the whole process. Finding a house, writing an offer and going through escrow is overwhelming but she makes it less overwhelming and just an overall great experience. She really goes to battle for her clients and makes every moment enjoyable and so special! To Carolan, you aren’t just buying a house, you’re buying a home and that’s what makes her perfect for the job. Carolan is truly the best at what she does and choosing her to represent me was the best decision I made!

Carolan definitely made this processes a breeze. It took me over 8 months to find my home, Carolan definitely lead me in the right direction if you are in the market and come across Next Home don’t turn it down they treat you like family each and every one of them. So look no further then.

Betsy and I could not have been happier with Carolan and her ability to get this sale complete. She was on top of all deliverables, kept us updated daily on whatever was going on and of course found a great buyer for a property we cherished deeply. The whole process was rather seamless with little or no problems along the way including and leading up to closing day. She negotiated in good faith and used her expertise to get us and the buyer what we wanted in the end. Well done Carolan. Aron, Betsy, Melia and Savannah.

Carolan IS AMAZING. She sold our home for us in the Mariposa Townhomes and if you know anything about that. It is no easy feat. They are going through a litigation process and there are basically no lenders out there that will finance because of a building lawsuit...we thought we were stuck and I was a wreck because of it. Carolan literally saved us and helped get us out of CA. Not only did she do research and worked sooo hard to get us closed but she also got us top dollar. Our home is the highest selling in the community. THANK YOU CAROLAN for your hard work, dedication, knowledge, hustle and support. Love you!

Carolan is an amazing real estate agent, I purchased my first home from her and the entire process was seamless. She goes above and beyond to ensure that her clients are happy and have all their questions answered, one thing about her that I thought stood out is that she keeps her clients ahead of the game and provides detailed descriptions of what is included in every step of the way. She doesn't want her clients to pick just any home, she wants the home to pick them and for them to fall in love. I would definitely recommend Carolan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! Thank you Carolan! You're amazing!

I could not be happier that we went with Carolan for the purchase of our first home. Working with her was nothing short of amazing! The entire process was absolutely seamless and pleasant. She is incredibly knowledgeable and was very thorough in her explanations for every step along the way. She exceeds all expectations in ensuring her clients are happy, constantly in the loop and are ahead of the game. She has a very pressure-free and friendly approach. I would 10000% recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home, you won't regret it. Thank you so much Carolan, you're one hell of a real estate agent!!

Carolan is very considerate and patient and takes her time to understand the requirements. She had us to ease as we searched through for the right match. I highly recommend Carolan for a satisfying home purchase experience.

Carolan was vital to our home purchase. Although our offer wasn’t the highest priced, Carolan found out exactly what terms the seller wanted and helped us craft an amazing offer. We are so happy to have worked with Carolan!

Carolan was so amazing from start to finish of our first home buying process! She worked so hard to help us buy our home. She is so knowledgeable and answered every single question we had during the process with a smile on her face! We appreciate her so much. We cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work, and we couldn’t be happier with our home! ??

Carolan went above and beyond to make sure my fiancée and I buying experience was as easy as possible! She got our offer accepted and we weren’t even the highest offer! I believe in this crazy market your realtor makes or breaks your buying experience and Carolan is the right girl for the job! Thank you again for everything!! She deserves more than 5 stars!!!!

Carolan Galizia is AWESOME!!! We weren't sure at first whether to hire her because of her young age and our perception of her inexperience. That changed quickly. Her professionalism, energy, positive attitude, and RESPONSIVENESS won us over. She was ALWAYS available day or night by text or in person. Great problem solver, solid negotiator. Very detail oriented, well spoken and kind. Explained everything to us, step by step what to expect. Also, held our hands during the selling process. Oh, and did we mention, our house was sold for $25k over asking price within 5 days. All cash and 21 day escrow.
Thank you, Carolan:

Carolan is just about the sweetest and most caring person I've ever worked with. She was so positive and hardworking for me with every step in the process of buying my first home! Carolan was always there for me to look at any issue with a positive outlook and fixed anything she could. Throughout every Zillow home I would find, she helped me narrow in my price range, location, and taste to create so many great showings, which led me to my perfect first home! Forever grateful for her time with me on this process.
