Carolan was incredible.From the day she first came out I knew she was the real estate agent for us.She was very confident the house would sell quickly.Always got back immediately if we had a question,she would have the answer she is very knowledgeable of the real estate world.Told us what needed to be done to make it sell and of course she was right,she sold our house in less than 3 days.I give her a high praise and fully recommend her to be the agent to sell your house.Thank you very much Carolan for your hard work.

The lovely Miss Carolan McDermott has been a solid anchor of encouragement and work power through our home buying process. At times it got stressful for us, the buyers, and every turn Carolan was uplifting keeping us surefooted and confident that everything issue and detail was going to be resolved in time. Carolan never flinched, she was on point and focused which allowed us to cruise through the process just waiting for the necessary time to pass in order for all parties to complete their jobs. Our home buying process was not typical, and that was not enough to catch Carolan off guard. We are so thankful for her representing us through escrow and today! We are receiving our keys and now settled homeowners. Thank You Carolan! :)

I had the pleasure of having Carolan as my realtor. She helped my husband and I purchase our first home. Carolan took so much of her time to understand what we wanted in our first home, she did research on so many different properties
and she offered insightful advice. With all of her knowledge, she really helped us make an informed decision. Carolan was always quick to respond to my questions or was willing to find out if she didn’t know the answer. She was able to negotiating and work with us to secure our home at a great price that we could afford. I’m so grateful for her dedication and professionalism, and I would definitely work with her again in the future for our second home. I can’t recommend her enough! She is the BEST!

I cannot recommend Carolan enough! She’s been with us for the last 4 years on this crazy home search/journey, and I am so grateful for all of her help and knowledge along the way. Once we found the one, she made the entire process so simple and easy, I highly recommend Carolan as a realtor to anyone who is in search of their forever home!

When my husband and I decided it was time to put our house on the market and relocate, we had no idea where to start. We reached out to Carolan and she guided us each step of the way and had the answers to all our questions. She did everything in her power to make sure we found a buyer for our home and got our offer accepted on our new home. She is knowledgeable, reliable, and overall so amazing to work with! She is truly best! We couldn’t recommend her enough.

We listed our five-acre horse ranch in rural Acton with Carolan during a time with high interest rates and a slow market. Carolan was a consummate professional from day one. She produced what I think an award-winning video. She advised us on small improvements we could make to the home to help market it. When the ranch sold it was a long escrow which is where Carolan especially excelled. She was unbelievably patient during a long and difficult escrow that tested everyone's sanity. We would highly recommend Carolan to anyone seeking a hardworking and trustworthy agent.

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: Jeff Pohlman & Diane Cezon

Carolan was awesome!! It was stressful to try and buy a home in such a crazy market, but she was a true fighter when we were up against several different offers. She even got our offer accepted when we weren't even the highest one. Her responsiveness was especially appreciated throughout the entire escrow period. We were also given a break down of what would happen next and what all of our options were with every next step. She was trustworthy and made sure we were taken care of. I will refer her to all my friends and family.

The process of buying a house is stressful and time consuming, yet Carolan made our house hunting experience worthwhile. Although my boyfriend and I decided to not buy due to our future plans, we HIGHLY recommend Carolan when YOU do. Despite the worries that arise when buying a home, Carolan is sure to provide you with the guidance and knowledge to ensure you are making the best decision! Her dedication and passion for finding the perfect home is visible and valuable. So, when it’s your time to buy, it’s time to call Carolan!

My wife and I had an excellent experience with Carolan when purchasing an investment property. She is very knowledgeable, responsive, and she will do whatever it takes to please her clients. She fully understands the current real estate market, but never pressures you to make a decision. We have found Carolan to be very honest as well. The process of buying a home or investment property can be stressful, but Carolan always kept us informed and a "step ahead of the game". One of the most important qualities that Carolan has is her people skills. She understands how to deal with difficult people and difficult situations. We will definitely be seeking her assistance for future investments.

Being a first time home buyer, we were overwhelmed and stressed with trying to find the perfect house. Once we got in contact with Carolan, the stress went away. She was professional, helpful, and always prompt with responding to questions or concerns no matter the time of day. We could not be any happier with the overall experience she provided! We can not thank her enough, and would recommend her to all our friends and family!

Where to begin?! From the moment we met Carolan, her energy and enthusiasm drew us to her. We happened to meet her by chance and we are so thankful for that! She was so easy to work with, was encouraging but not pushy, and her personal touch with everything set her apart. Carolan was extremely supportive throughout the home buying process, always communicated exactly what was going on, and made sure we understood what was happening at any given time. Her follow up was impressive, even with the smallest details. We always knew we could reach out to Carolan about anything and she would have a solution or redirect us to the correct contact. I don’t know how she does it, but she treats you like you are the only buyer she is working with and is so dedicated! Even after we closed on the home, she checked in with us regularly to ensure that we settled in okay and that any outstanding issues had been addressed. We will recommend Carolan to anyone buying a home in the area. Thanks so much, Carolan, for everything!

Carolan, went above and beyond when it came to finding the best first home for my daughter and I. With the crazy market right now, and all the bidding wars we were up against, she was did everything she could for me to stand out and get my offer accepted on the first home I offered on. I highly recommend her to my friends, family, and anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsive, and professional to find and secure the perfect home for themselves and or families. I was nervous going into the escrow process as my daughters dad had a horrible experience (with someone else/different company) and I felt very lucky to have had such a great and smooth experience in escrow!!

Six months ago my fiancé and I began to look at houses when we decided to message Carolan and start our house hunting process. Little did we know, we knew nothing about the steps to buying a home, let alone putting an offer on a home. From the moment we met Carolan she was extremely patient with us and determined to find our perfect home while also teaching us how to be a first time home buyer. Carolan is a very honest realtor and will go the extra mile to get your dream home. This market is crazy but she made our whole escrow process a breeze. Any questions we had Carolan answered promptly. We viewed several homes in the last 6 months and she showed up every time patiently and ready to find the perfect one for us. She is very knowledgeable about real estate and this market. We are very pleased with everything she’s done for us and we can guarantee that she will forever be our go to Relator. Even after escrow is over, she continues to check up on us and ask if we have any questions about the house. Thank you so much Carolan for being the kindest, motivated, and professional realtor!!

Carolan and her assistant Amanda are the best in the business!! They are the hardest working people I know. They made the experience of buying my new home a great one!

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!
