"Dear Carly,
Stacey and I wanted to take a moment to write to you and tell you how grateful we are for the job you did selling our house last month. We still can?t believe you got us two offers on the first day it was listed and the fact that you put it under contract that same day for full price was amazing.
We?ve been in our new home for a month now and when I tell people about our success in selling our old one they can hardly believe it, especially considering current conditions in the housing market. I really think that your professional, high-energy approach from beginning to end was the biggest contributor to our success. While you were focused on the business at hand, you also made the process fun and a positive experience. For Stacey especially, your help in preparing the house for showing made a big difference. The fact that you offered and then brought your own staging materials and decorations was a first for me. As you know, I?m a home builder and work with lots of realtors and have never seen that level of service.
I also really appreciated the way you dealt with me on determining our sales price. The other three realtors we interviewed for the job all tried to talk me into a lower price during the initial meeting. I guess they figured it would make it easier for them to make the sale. You were the only one who listened to my reasoning on why I thought the house was worth what I said it was and then agreed with me that we could get the number we wanted. I?m sure at times you get clients who are unreasonable in their price expectations and you have to convince them to go lower in order to even make the sale happen, but the fact that you didn?t reflexively try to talk us lower was one of the reasons I felt so comfortable giving you the listing.
In addition to all of the above, you were a strong negotiator and expertly managed our competing offers. I do a lot of negotiations in my line of work and am usually not comfortable having someone else negotiate for me. But your professionalism put me at ease and after I saw you at work, I was more than satisfied that you would handle it well. You also nicely managed the post-contract interactions with the buyers. They were difficult on more than one inspection issue, but you saw us through that process with minimal pain.
When we hired you I jokingly told you that I expected you to sell our house in two weeks and instead of laughing me off, you simply got it done. For that Stacey and I are extremely grateful. I will recommend you to any of my old neighbors when they are ready to sell their homes and would be happy to take any reference calls from prospective sellers you might have. Just have them call me directly at 720-206-5884.
We hope all is well with you and your family and we?ll give you a call the next time we?re in your neighborhood. Thanks again for a job well done.

"As a former FSBO seller count me as one of those who thought the career of Realtor (especially a listing agent) was going the way of the Travel Agent, with the web you had so many more options to make it easy to sell your own home. We had successfully listed the house in the Denver MLS, prepared flyers, a web site, and a justification for our price. While we put the house on the market briefly, we just didn't get the traffic that we needed or wanted. Feedback was limited, but the main thing was we just weren't selling the house.... then we met Carly.
Upon our first meeting, it was clear that she was in her element. Even though I had won major awards for sales in software, selling a home opened up issues that Carly had mastered. I took notes and listened to her suggestions. Then took action to complete those items myself all the while receiving marketing info, notes, cards, etc. from Carly on a regular basis. One thing was for certain, she was very persistent. Finally we realized that nobody penetrates the MLS and gains the trust of buyer's agents like a realtor, so we interviewed several agents to list our updated home. I worked them all to see who would give up what. Though she wasn't the cheapest we chose Carly for her ability to deliver a sale, and that she did! We listed just before Easter Sunday and within 4 days of our listing had received a full price offer! That in a market when nothing else was selling Carly had done a wonderful job of pre-marketing for us, which made the job easy once we had actually made it available for showings. During the process she was patient through the issues that had us pulling out our hair. What a sales professional and friend we gained with Carly, she's not your average agent, trust me we've seen too many of those! I hope you'll consider her when you really want to sell your home, she's the best and will get the job done.

"Carly recently helped me purchase my house and served as my Realtor. She did a great and wonderful job for me. Without her, I would not be able to buy this house. I cannot fully express the satisfaction I have with Carly Mayer and her exceptional service. Now I am happily settled into my new home, and I want to say a huge thank you to Carly, who provided effective services, and made my dream come true.

"Just wanted to thank you for helping us find our new home! You really helped to make the process as smooth as possible. We really appreciated your honest advice and your willingness to see so many houses in one day. Your energy was instrumental in keeping us focused with so many houses to look at. Your organizational skills were key in making the closing process as painless as possible and also helped keep the other Realtor in check! Also, thanks for researching the neighborhood to help us get the best price for our house. We look forward to working with you again and seeing you at our housewarming party! Look for an invite in April! " back to top

"Thank you so much for all that you did for us in helping us sell our home so quickly. You were so special when you held a open house for us when we tried to "sell by owner" so it was just a given to hire you when we tried for four months to sell by ourselves with no luck. After listing with you it sold in three weeks with out having to discount the price, which is amazing in this market.Thanks again, Carly!" back to top

"I wanted to thank you so very much for presenting your exceptional marketing plan for my home at 1895 South Niagara Way. I truly appreciate the time and effort that goes into the presentation and the training you have as a special professional. I truly saw "the cream rise to the top!" You truly are a credit to your profession." back to top

"Dear Carly,
I just wanted to send a brief letter of appreciation to my new found Realtor!! After trusting a friend˙s advice, which led me to you, I'd have to say I couldn't be more pleased and actually amazed at how quickly you helped us sell our home. On the market for what? 4 days, if that?? Not to mention the $8k we received above our asking price?? That speaks for itself!! Thanks again, Carly, for all your hard work. I am sure we'll be working together again in the near future!!!

"Dear Carly,
We wanted to thank you for making our family's house search and move a pleasant one. You were very helpful and timely in directing us to areas we'd be interested in after listening closely to our needs. We are now very pleased with a neighborhood and home that has surpassed our expectations. The feel of the neighborhood pool reminds my children of the Field Club they knew in Connecticut, and still has them thinking they are on vacation! It was a pleasure working with you both.

Julie and Tom Zimmermann, New Superior Residents
"My husband and I searched for a home for over 8 months with another real estate agent and viewed over 90 homes. We happened to meet Carly at an open house one Sunday. She had such a great personality and amazing energy that we decided to switch real estate agents. It was the best decision we made in our home hunting! Carly listened to what we were looking for and was able to help us find the perfect home in less than a month. Her dedication level is remarkable. We recommend Carly to all of our friends and would recommend her to anyone looking for a new or selling their current home." back to top
Denise and Michael McCarthy, Superior Residents
"Thanks for all of the terrific things you did for us while selling our house. From a great marketing plan, pricing correctly, getting the word out, working with the relocation company, providing vendor names, arranging for inspections, etc. ? you did everything you could to make our lives easier. And even though our extensive landscaping may have made our home more difficult to sell, you did it in a mere three weeks! Throughout it all, you were professional, courteous and always upbeat! It was a great pleasure working with you, and you definitely get results." back to top

"Carly is a creative, energetic, and results-oriented agent. She brings a unique degree of professionalism, marketing strategy, energy, and good-old get-it-done diligence that produced excellent results for my home sale." back to top
Brent Adams, Agency Manager at COUNTRY Insurance & Financial Services
"I have used other Realtors in the past, but none of them provided the quality of service that Carly did. From our initial meeting through the home closing, she delivered every step of the way. Carly˙s hard work and professional marketing plan resulted in a full-price offer on our home in less than 2 weeks. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate." back to top
Werner Mezgolits, Boulder Home Owner
"Dear Carly!
This is to thank you for the exceptional job you did selling our Boulder property. You were instrumental that the house sold in a very short time and at a price completely satisfactory to us. Your constant attention and advice from the beginning of the process to the end left us comfortable and at ease, knowing that every detail was taken care of.
I know that your job was made more difficult by the fact that we three co-owners of the house were widely dispersed among three very different locations, with me not even being in the country. This circumstance makes your performance even more remarkable. You can rest assured that you will be our broker when we buy or sell our next house." back to top

"Hi Carly,
I just wanted to write a note thanking you for everything you did for me in my home buying process. Carly, you were great to deal with initially, but really stepped up for me through the whole offer / closing. You made it a virtually painless process for me. Really, you pulled off a minor miracle, so again, thanks. You were professional, friendly, and easy to work with. You came through when it was important, and made it look easy. All I had to do was show up and sign. Thanks!" back to top
Jennifer McDowell, Attorney at Law, Welborn Sullivan Meck & Tooley, P.C.
"I highly recommend that anyone looking for a Realtor hire Carly Mayer. She is extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the real estate business from contracts to the current market. My husband and I are both professionals who had very little time to deal with the task of trying to sell our home. Carly handled everything professionally and even went the extra mile to meet contractors and repairmen. We always felt comfortable letting Carly handle various problems (something that is not easy for two detail oriented a-types). Finally, in my business (I am an attorney), a person's reputation is very important. I am grateful that I hired a real estate agent who understood that her actions affected not only the sale of my home but my reputation as a professional and acted accordingly." back to top
Brian Noel, VP North American Sales, Xtera Communi
"I hired Carly after listing my house with another Realtor for over four months.
Like most people I decided to go the cheap route and found a Realtor willing to list my house for 4.8%. Needless to say, it didn't pay off. After reducing the price three times and not getting any offers, I finally turned to Carly for help.
Carly immediately came through the house with numerous suggestions for how to make it more appealing and staged my house to look like a model home. In fact , I came back from a business trip and didn't even recognize my own home. I am pleased to say it worked. Immediately I had more buyers coming through my home and had it sold in 2 weeks.
Carly's professionalism is second to none. She is very dedicated, detailed oriented, responsive and most importantly, passionate about selling homes.
After moving 13 times, I can honestly say Carly is the best Realtor I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with." back to top
