Testimonials

I have nothing but good things to say about Carol Lexa! She is an intelligent, sensitive, and well-connected professional who helped my husband and me obtain our dream property in Sebastopol. We had a specific wish list for our new home: land for a substantial garden, a view, and an affordable house that could be remodeled to suit our style. Carol’s knowledge of rural property was invaluable to us since we’ve lived for eighteen years in urban San Francisco. With her counsel and connections, we were ready to act quickly when a suitable property was identified. Others have commented on Carol Lexa’s generosity in providing references to local service providers. This was extremely helpful since we were inexperienced in dealing with septic systems, wells, and other country features. Carol was beside us every step of the way, even accompanying us to the Sonoma Permits Bureau. When a gas plumbing issue was revealed on the eve of escrow, she stayed late with us at the property, contacted the seller"s agent, negotiated payment for the repair, and contacted providers. We could easily have been stuck with the cost of that work, but not with Carol in our corner! Carol Lexa is a fine professional and a lovely person. I recommend her unreservedly!

Carol was absolutely incredible to work with. My partner and I were novices when it came to house hunting, but we felt safe and taken care of with her. She is honest, has so much integrity, and is incredibly knowledgeable, so I knew she would guide us in the right direction. She was able to answer any and all questions we had, and gave us sound advice when it came to making hard decisions. We couldn't be more grateful for her knowledge and support through an otherwise challenging and confusing time. We are in our dream home now and it wouldn't have been possible without her!

Carol is a top-of-the-line real estate broker we feel very fortunate to have found. At every step of the way in the sale of our home, from the initial consultation to a post-closing wrap-up, Carol was thoroughly professional an astute listener and strategist, a highly reliable and ethical partner, and a seasoned expert who delivered us straight to the goal post. She’s a delight to work with and is just the sort of professional you’d want to guide you on your real estate journey.

Carol helped us find our home in the country by spending time to understand exactly what we wanted, from location and acreage to architecture, condition, and price. She went well beyond just asking; she carefully noted our reactions to houses we viewed until she knew what we like. She worked tirelessly to screen homes that did not fit our needs, saving us significant time and effort by showing us the houses that fit best. Throughout the process, she listened carefully, followed through on commitments, and maintained timely communication, both live and electronic. Like a good waiter, she was present but not intrusive. The purchase and subsequent sale of our old house went very smoothly. She is very organized, proactive, and made us feel as if we were her only clients. We have recommended Carol to our friends and family.

We chose Carol Lexa to be our Realtor® because she found a home for my parents in Windsor and they had an extremely positive experience. Carol was absolutely fantastic! She is professional and detail-oriented. She is a wealth of knowledge regarding real estate laws and she makes the paperwork process as streamlined as possible. She is a wonderful communicator and works extremely hard to find the perfect home! We moved to Sonoma County from Chicago, Illinois and we had very specific requirements for a home. Carol has lived in Sonoma County for many years so she is very knowledgeable when it comes to communities and neighborhoods. She was able to narrow down the list of potential homes so we didn’t waste time seeing places that didn’t fit our needs. She was a pleasure to ride around with we enjoyed visiting with her on our drives around town! When it came time to make an offer on our home, Carol went out of her way to tell the sellers our story. The sellers later said that when it came down to deciding whom to sell to, they enjoyed hearing about our lives and they wanted us to enjoy their home the way they did. We love our new home and we miss visiting with Carol on a daily basis! We highly recommend Carol to help you find your next home.

When we relocated from the East Bay to Santa Rosa last year, Carol Lexa was our lifesaver. Former city dwellers, with two children under three years of age, and limited means we were very hesitant about the move to what we considered either the “suburbs” or the “country”. Over several month periods, Carol patiently worked with us, taking us to see only those homes that met our specifications, exposing us to neighborhoods that would suit all our needs, suggesting pre-schools and school districts that we should consider, and many other resources. When we finally did settle on a home, we had a great sense of the Sonoma County market, and with Carol’s guidance got a great value. We couldn’t be more pleased with our new home or with our experience with Carol. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the area.
