Carrie Monroe – Lyon Real Estate

Yes, I’m very happy with Carrie’s diligence and advice in helping me find my perfect Sacramento home. This was my 4^th home purchase (in my lifetime) and I was pretty picky. Once Carrie understood (rather quickly) what I was looking for she became even pickier than me in helping me weed through alot of possible homes in my price range. Honestly, she saw bad things that I didn’t catch and talked me out of more homes than she recommended. She knew what wasn’t going to meet my long-​term needs better than I did, ha. Eventually, after quite a long and voluminous search we found the perfect home at the right price. Also, I was impressed with Carrie’s follow through and commitment all the way through the closing and taking over the keys and even helping me with some light repair work long after the commission had been earned. I think Carrie loves what she does, she knows the Sacramento real estate market very well and she truly cares about every client that she takes on. I would and will work with her again without hesitation… Thank you so much, Carrie!

I had the experience to work with Carrie on the sale of my home and one word to describe my experience is «Perseverance»
Carrie was faced with a very challenging short sale with a home that was beat up from the renter, needed some pretty significant re-​modeling, had a mortgage with Fanny Mae (which is the most challenging lender to work with on a short sale), the home had renters that wouldn’t move out — pay rent — or cooperate with the selling efforts, a housing market that was experiencing unprecedented challenges working with greedy investors with very unforgiving purchasing practices dropping out of deals last minute while not putting down a deposit, and tremendous up and down swings in the market value of the property — BUT… Carrie stuck with it and battled through all of the challenges even when I lost my patience and ability to deal with the compounded financial challenges that I had experienced with VERY BAD RENTERS.
In the midst of me losing my hope; Carrie took the reins and management of everything — she told me to sit back and let her take care of it… And she did.
The sale wouldn’t have taken place if I had a different Realitor.
I owe Carrie much more than the very minimal $$ she could have made in commissions on the sale of the home and at the very least to show my appreciation is to recommend her services.

Carrie was amazing in helping me purchase my first home, I know very little about real estate and she made everything so easy for me. She was very proactive with my lender which was a huge help. Any questions I had she was available anytime, by phone, text, or email. Highly recommended!

Carrie was our realtor when we had to do a short sale on our house. She and her team worked tirelessly to make sure house got sold. When it seemed like all hope was lost and we wouldn’t be to get our short sale through, she made it happen. She worked with the bank and HUD to make sure we sold our house. I highly recommend her if you need to do a short sale or if your looking for a realtor who’ll have your back. The industry needs more people like her.
