We cannot begin to describe the exceptional service and care we received from the Carl Hawthorne…read moreteam in selling our home!  Each and every one of them were professional, kind, prompt, and helpful.  As a result, we had multiple showings on our home within a few hours of listing, and three offers within a day--two of them above list price!  We accepted one of those, and are under contract to be closing in a few weeks.   From the beginning of this journey with Carl, we have been guided with his knowledge, expertise, and thoroughness to achieve success.  He knows the market., and, with the assistance of Emily, advised us how to set our price to maximize it, while at the same time making it comparable to other homes in the area so that it would sell quickly.  He engaged the service of his stager, Sheree, who gave us excellent ideas for showing the house to its maximum potential.  We followed her wise advice to the letter.  Then Jessie followed with professional-quality pictures that showed the best assets in the home for agents and potential buyers to view before even seeing the home in person.  Everyone on his team has been amazingly helpful, kind, knowledgeable and delightful to work with--including the office team who did a wonderful job of keeping us updated via e-mails and phone calls throughout the entire process.  In every part of our selling experience, we could not have had a more excellent and pleasant experience!   We just cannot say enough about Carl, Emily, and the team for their constant and abiding assistance.  The Carl Hawthorne team is the only one to call for your real estate needs!

The entire team at Carl Hawthorne is amazing.

Carl and everyone involved went above and beyond to walk through homes for us, take us on video walkthroughs, and share their insights and feelings about the homes and neighborhoods to help guide our decision. Most importantly for us was Carl's extensive knowledge that he has developed from his engineering background and from owning multiple businesses related to landscape/home design and construction. We were able to trust him and his team implicitly to guide us to the right home for us and to look for things in homes that untrained and undiscerning eyes wouldn't catch. I can't recommend this team enough.

Lindsey helped us sell our mother's home as part of an estate sale. She dealt with us…read morecompassionately, and brought her amazing vendors to the process to help us get the house prepped and ready for sale. Specifically, her staging crew made the house look amazing and on-point for selling; her handyman performed repairs to the house quickly, efficiently and at a fair price, and last but not least, one of her team members took charge and managed helping us to sell the majority of the items left in our mom's home on Facebook, managing the entire process "sale-posting to pick up". As if that wasn't enough, she also staged and managed a yard sale to help move out the smaller items, and then took care of donating the balance of the items! Her rate was more than fair, and we were able to rest easy knowing that it was being taken care of. All of these vendors and Lindsey were critical in the process as my brother and I both live out of state. The sale also involved a trust, and some un-anticipated structural issues. Lindsey understood what needed to be done, was the face of negotiations with the vendors, and ensured that the work was completed as expected. She understood the selling process inside of a trust, and helped to ensure that all of the right pieces were in place. Lindsey and her team were by our sides throughout the entire process. It was a pleasure working with this team, and I would recommend them to others!

I was looking for an agent to sell our condo in Atlanta. I used Yelp for this, and specified that I…read morewant an African American woman to be my agent. Candace was one of the ones who responded. She has a lot of great reviews, and I do not mean to detract from that. I wish her the best, but at the same time, I thought that, in all fairness, I need to tell of my experience. My own take is that she was usually a step slower than others to respond. And while everyone else went to look at the condo before getting back to me, she didn't. Both of these may be on account of the fact that she holds down a different day job. Perhaps she has an assistant or two at her disposal, but I'm skeptical that she would be able to provide the attention that I would have needed. Others who had a good experience with her - good for you. I decided to go a different way.

My husband and I had a fabulous experience working with Brenda Franklin. I can't be any more…read moreenthusiastic in recommending her. She helped us purchase our dream house - west-facing, high bluff waterfront house on Whidbey Island and I couldn't be happier here. Brenda took the time to understand what we were looking for and understood the differences between our "must haves" and the "like to haves". We had a fairly good idea of what we were looking for. While other realtors had tried to convince us that we had unreasonable expectations, Brenda accepted the challenge. It took about nine months, but she stuck with us. I never felt pressured to give up and settle for less than what I wanted at any time in the process. Once we found the house we wanted to purchase, Brenda did a stellar job with that, as well. She did a great job of communicating with us, of course, but also with the sellers' agent. This helped us to craft an offer that didn't just rely on throwing large amounts of cash at the seller. After the sale, I was able to meet with the seller. I was told that some of the aspects of our offer that Brenda had coached us to include were the things that made our offer stand out and were the reason that they chose to accept our offer instead of others. What more can you ask for in a real estate broker? Yes, if you are looking to buy or sell a house, I'd recommend you work with Brenda.

From the owner: As a dedicated Realtor, I don’t just help clients buy or sell homes—I guide them through one of the…read moremost important decisions of their lives with strategy, care, and transparency. What sets me apart is my hands-on, client-first approach: I treat every transaction like it's my own investment. I specialize in working with both traditional buyers and investors, ensuring each client gets tailored insights based on their unique goals. My background in real estate investing gives me a strong edge in negotiation, valuation, and market timing. I pride myself on clear, consistent communication and being accessible throughout the entire process—from consultation to closing. I believe real estate is more than a transaction; it's a relationship. My goal is not just to close deals, but to build trust, empower clients, and deliver long-term value.

Leah went above and beyond the call of duty for me and my family. Not only did she expertly…read morenegotiate and secure a contract that we were very happy with on our dream home, but she also took a very proactive role in helping us to clear some challenging obstacles related to the sale of our home in a different state even though she wasn't handling that transaction. Every single time I felt the stress bubbling up, one phone call to Leah would calm my nerves and remind me that there was nothing to worry about because we were in the best possible hands. From our first showing to closing day and beyond, it was obvious that in addition to her extensive expertise, Leah is genuinely passionate about helping her clients enjoy a smooth and successful home-buying experience. I love how communicative and efficient Leah is. I never had to wonder what was going on because she always kept us in the loop and gave excellent advice throughout the whole process. She has a strong network of reliable contacts for anything you might need from inspectors to movers and everything in between. When logistical issues prevented us from physically making it to the closing on time, Leah jumped in and served as our surrogate by doing a video final walk-through for us and collecting the keys. She then met us at the house with a sweet arrangement of thoughtful gifts and a few essentials that came in very handy after a long day of traveling. Buying a home anywhere is a very stressful process. Buying a home hundreds of miles away from your hometown while trying to sell your current home and juggling the endless logistical challenges of a cross-state move makes regular home-buying stress seem like child's play. The most valuable lesson I learned in this whole process is that you should choose your realtor as carefully as you choose your future home because that one choice can play a huge role in whether your dream home becomes a reality or devolves into more of a nightmare. As I write this review sitting comfortably in my beautiful new home that likely would have slipped through my fingers had I chosen any other agent, I can assure you that Leah Akiki is the dream maker you need in your corner. There is no better real estate professional and nobody else I would ever consider using for my future real estate needs.

During a buying experience, Janice's agent delivered my terms and perspective to the selling agent with intelligence and she found an inconsistency that was extremely vital to us getting the best deal on the property. As a selling representative, I sold a condo in a tough market in 3 days for asking when there were many properties in the same building on sale for months. I never had to worry about a thing. It was a done, sign and go interaction and we received top dollar. I recommend Janice to everyone. She is a superstar. She can answer questions that are extremely nuanced and she cares about every client. It's a surreal gift.
