Our goal is to make the process of buying, selling, or owning a home efficient, enjoyable and rewarding for you. See what our clients have said about our real estate services...
We had tried to sell our home several times before we signed with Jim and Kristine and were unsuccessful every time. But thanks to Jim and Kristine's expertise and familiarity with the housing market in our area, they were able to list our home at a fair market value and sell it within weeks.
They negotiated the deal smoothly and professionally, personally overseeing many details that we might have been overwhelmed by if not for their careful attention. The best part is they found us the home of our dreams, a home we would have otherwise not looked at if it had not been for their prodding. They listened carefully to our "wish list" and searched diligently until they found a home matching all our desires.
Jim and Kristine are professional, honest and kind. They care about their clients and that came through in all the many, little extra things they went out of their way to do for us. I would heartily recommend them to anyone.

Over the past 15 years we have purchased and sold property in the States of Washington, California and Illinois. Of all the realtors we have worked with none have compared to Jim and Kristine Carollo. Jim and Kristine provided outstanding personal service in a professional manner. From the initial visit listing our property to the final closing transaction Jim and Kristine responded to every circumstance, question and request promptly and with integrity. We were impressed with the premium package Jim and Kristine put together to market our house and we were pleased with how Jim and Kristine followed up with every prospect that toured our home. Jim and Kristine will be our first choice the next time we need a personal Real Estate Advisor and we would strongly recommend Jim and Kristine as your personal Real Estate Advisor.

I just wanted to take the time to say "thank you". You have been instrumental in making this transition smooth for us. Moving/ buying a home is something that we have never experienced, you became a safe place to fall. I loved and appreciated the way you took your knowledge of the homes and the area and applied it to my family needs and concerns. Also, with the whirlwind of overwhelming emotions; from moving out of my childhood home and the shock factor of my aunt passing away, when I became less of the perfect customer, you never broke stride. Your compassion was unmatched; you picked up all the pieces when I started to crumble. You quickly became part of the family.
People need more than someone to open the doors to houses for them. I truly believe that you were put in my path for a reason, I could have not asked for anything more. You are a blessing to us. Please feel fee to use us as a reference for future clients and if you ever need anything, let us know.....

A friend recommended Jim and Kristine Carollo to us when we were looking for a new place. Jim worked as hard as we did through the whole process to find something just right. It was always easy to get a hold of him when we needed, and we appreciated his experience as he assisted us in negotiating and finding a great attorney and home inspector.
When it came time to sell our old place, we contacted Jim and Kristine again. Kristine has a gift for pointing out fixes and decor changes that can add value and that made our place sell more quickly. We had a good contract within days after we followed her recommendations while our neighbor’s homes continued to sit on the market. Jim and Kristine's integrity, work ethic, pleasant demeanor, and skills are the reasons why we have recommended them to our friends who are selling or looking for a home.

I think you guys should market to first time home buyers, because you were wonderful with me!! I came into buying my first home with absolutely no idea what I was doing, and you provided me with invaluable resources, advice, and most of all, support! You turned a potentially scary and nerve-wrecking experience into a fun one with an amazing outcome...a home I love!! And most of all, you took me out to ice-cream.

The prospect of working with a pushy realtor was always something I dreaded until I met Jim and Kristine. Working with them from the beginning was a comfortable and hassle-free experience. Not only are they patient, honest and helpful, they listen to your needs.

I've known Jim for several years, so when the time came to buy our first home, Jim was the natural choice. He is a very trustworthy and dedicated individual. He always took the time to answer any question and would go out of his way to accommodate us. We bought a house in a location which Jim did not specialize in, but he took the time to research the area and we ended up with a nice house in a great location.
Thanks again Jim,

Thanks for all the work you did to sell our home. Amanda and I appreciated your constant follow up to all our questions and phone calls during the entire process. Your professionalism, friendliness, and follow up made the process painless and easier than expected. Please pass on our names and number to any potential customers looking for a real estate professional, as I would gladly provide a stellar reference.
