As an attorney representing executors and families in the settlement of estates, and, occasionally, as the executor himself, I am pleased to recommend Carolann Clynes with the highest praise. Her judgment and experience in advising executors as to the marketing of real property held in an estate and in formulating and implementing strategies is invaluable. She understands the unique responsibilities placed on fiduciaries and the sensitivities of families and beneficiaries. Moreover, her coordination of skilled persons in dealing with inspection issues, utilities, moving, and sales of tangible personal property help to make the task of the executor and estate attorney much easier.
With more than 30 years of sales experience in real estate, I was confident that my real estate transaction would go smoothly when I decided to choose Carolann Clynes as my realtor. As a long-time resident of Summit, New Jersey, she has in-depth knowledge of the town and the lifestyle it has to offer. Carolann is dedicated to her clients and offers advice through every step of the home selling process. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Summit, NJ and the surrounding areas!
Moving from Europe to Summit, NJ should have been extremely stressful, but CAROLANN CLYNES provided all of the help we needed - from finding the perfect neighborhood to locating a great house. Her professionalism and industry prowess made all of the difference in our search. We had no time to waste so she made sure the homes we viewed matched our specifications and taste. Carolann's knowledge of the local real estate market is unsurpassed so we were able to make a competitive offer and close the deal quickly. Even after we moved in, she continued to provide relocation support and advice as she is a long-established and well respected member of the community and knows the area like the back of her hand!
We worked with Carolann for an extended period of time due to market conditions. In this overall challenging environment, we were very fortunate to have such a professional on our side when we were selling and also when we were buying. Carolann guided us through every step of the way with her experience and elegance. She is a really classy individual, and a great professional who understands the market, the towns, the system and the psychology involved in real estate transactions. She was always patient, analytical and creative. In today's market, you definitely need someone with Carolann's experience and class to help any current or future homeowner maneuver the market.
…pricing strategy was excellent.
We felt Carolann was the consummate professional. She patiently explained the process in terms we could understand. At each decision level she explained our choices and what benefits or failings each choice would bring. Her community contacts help us fix & prepare our home for sale in record time.
I cannot adequately explain how happy I was with her service. She is without a doubt the most educated, knowledgeable & professional real estate agent I have ever dealt with and this was my third home!
Carolann is the quintessential full-service real estate agent. She is highly reliable, trustworthy, and hands on, bringing to you her decades of experience in the business, in addition to her vast rolodex of skilled contractors in many fields. Most importantly, Carolann acts thoughtfully and with your best interest at heart.
I cannot say enough good things about Carolann (and her team at Christie’s).
Excellent knowledge of local market opportunities and pricing. Quickly responds to inquiries and is resourceful in locating professionals to help resolve any issues. During a lengthy escrow requirement stuck with me and the project yo get the requirement resolved despite months of waiting for the contractor. Would recommend Carolann to anyone buying or selling property in the surrounding area.
Carolann was professional and sensitive to my needs to sell my mother's house after my mom passed away. Carolann has expert knowledge and a professional network to help with every step of the way. Carolann helped me: put together an estate sale, clean, repair, maintain, donate items, understand each step of the sale process, assist with paperwork, negotiate, and so much more! Carolann made everything so easy for me, which is a blessing, especially since I live in California and was not able to be nearby. I highly recommend Carolann to anyone buying or selling a home.
Thank you for the countless things you did to help ensure the sale of my Aunt’s home. I have great respect and appreciation for all you do and how you do it. You are a gift to me and I treasure your friendship. Enjoy this gift and have fun.
