I have worked with April in the past and always had a great experience. This time Eric handled my Mom's sale of her house and I could not say enough good things about him. He is a genuine person, very caring, nice and just someone you can trust to treat you like his own family. He not only got my Mom a better price, but suggested a moving company that took care of everything! He also suggested and helped find her an apartment to rent. I would highly recommend the Carlton company as your hometown real estate partner as you are not going to find anyone this honest and caring, who looks out for your best interest.

April and her company made selling my home so easy, I've had harder transactions buying things in a store. She was very attentive to all the details, paperwork, and any questions I had. Straightforward, open and honest. I could not have asked for a better broker. Simply the Best!! read more

Working The Carlton Company (and April Carlton specifically) is a great experience. She sincerely works for your best interests. I have sold two homes using April and both times had a stellar experience. She is straightforward and honest and knows the market inside and out. She is extremely responsive. Even if her office is closed, her office number forwards to her personal cell phone and you really get that personal touch. Her office staff is also very smart and responsive and everyone seems to communicate well together. She knows the Arvada area extremely well. I wouldn't even consider working with anyone else but April if you are buying or selling a home in that area. Even the house she helped us sell in Lakewood, she got up to speed with the area and the intricacies of the comps in that neighborhood very quickly. April is a true professional and has built her business carefully and thoughtfully. read more

We recently worked with April Carlton and her team in the sale of my mother's home in Arvada, CO. Our first personal contact was with Michelle McWilliams, whose advice saved us both time and money. They not only obtained a price higher than anyone expected, but they were also extremely sensitive to my mother's concerns, which put her at ease with the entire process. She had lived in the house nearly 30 years so this was no easy feat. I wholeheartedly recommend April to anyone contemplating a real estate purchase or sale and am confident your experience will be as good as ours. read more

This is the best real estate agent that I've ever worked with, and I worked with quite a few.

We have worked with the Carlton Company 2 times and have found them to be very professional and knowledgeable. They listen to your needs and take you to homes that fit your requirements. Definitely would work with them again. April knows this area like the back of her hand read more

Loved working with April and her staff. Our house sold so fast and everything went so smooth. I would recommend April to anyone looking to sale. read more

April is my favorite realtor that I have worked with over the years. ( We have worked with 5 other realtors in various states.) She has been doing this for so long; I felt like she anticipated my every question and every need in the process of preparing, listing and selling of our home. In fact, she proposed several things regarding our sales negotiation that we didn't even know were possible! This in turn, led to us selling our house quickly and over the asking price. And after the house was sold, she helped us negoatiate an extra week to rent/stay in our house until our new place was available. I also like that April is very direct. April has acquired such great people skills that she can deliver what you need to hear in a direct and constructive way. This will save you time! I also appreciated Veronica's and Michelle's help in this endeavor. Great team! My take away is that April works hard to represent her client, knows what she is doing and loves her job! read more

Michelle Jennett was our real estate agent. She was knowledgeable and friendly, and SO empathetic, which I think is a requirement for an agent trying to find out where you want to spend the next few years (if not, the rest) of your life. It's a big deal. She listens. She researches. She gets public documents and information that you think is impossible to locate. She's like the wonder woman of real estate. Really. She needs the outfit. She's just so organized and so willing to go above and beyond. I don't typically like real estate agents so I was wary of her in the first place, but she is friends with my boyfriend that was purchasing the house so it was ultimately his decision. Well, she did him proud. She found us a variety of houses, and although there were a couple of choices that didn't fit us at all, she listened to ALL of our feedback and on our second showing (second showing people, only TWO showings!!!!!! This is MIRACULOUS if you've ever looked at homes) She found us the winner. We are so happy with our home. It's needed some work, which she gladly provided us with a list of recommended contractors, and when we have problems with the people on this list, she handles them. STILL. Business is done, commission is paid and she is STILL helping us every step of the way. She's nothing short of amazing. We adored her so much and were so pleased, we are using her to sell another home we needed to get rid of and things are looking like they are moving swiftly. She's on her A game all of the time and I don't know how she keeps it all straight, but she does. If you want someone that is going to HEAR what you are saying, and really work to find you a home that fits exactly what you are seeking, please go to Michelle. I've never worked with anyone else at The Carlton Company, so I don't have any information on the rest of the staff, but ask for Michelle. She won't steer you wrong. I'm impatient. I want things NOW, not in 8 months. I had things I couldn't have cared less about, and things that would make or break my love for a property. I wasn't just yammering to a fake smile, she was taking in all of the information and storing it in her head. By the way, my boyfriend and I are VERY different so his list was much different than my list but somehow she managed to fit them together perfectly. I couldn't be happier, and I'd highly recommend her. If anyone needs more information, just comment on this comment and I'd be happy to give you more information, all positive of course, but maybe if you have a more specific question that I haven't covered. Anyhow, Thanks Michelle. I hope we are here at this home for the rest of our lives. I just adore waking up to this view, and you KNOW what I'm talking about! read more

April and her agent Michelle represented us both buying and selling a house. On the buy side they never mentioned that is was common in this market for sellers to pay some of the buyers closing costs. Then the inspection showed radon in the home and they told us we should pay for the mitigation instead of the seller, that was $1000. Talking with other brokers they always expect the seller to mitigate radon as the home is unsaleable without it since they will now have to disclose the problem to buyers. On the sell side they had the listing for 6 months. About all they did was stick a sign in the yard and list it in MLS. No other marketing, nothing about changes we could make to help it sell. All they came up with was a rent-to-own deal. They negelted to checkout the buyer and we later found out they were trying to short sell a house out of state. That deal fell apart due to their bad finances, so all we got was a damaged and dirty house back. Once we listed it with a different broker it sold in 3 months. read more

She helped me sell my home and buy a new one. When we sold my home I did a lot of research and got all the feed back from agents who brought their clients for a showing so I knew what I could sell my house for. We got a very low ball offer $22,000 lower than I thought we could sell for the first week it was on the market. April encouraged me to take this offer even though the house had only been on the market a about a week. When I asked her to justify accepting this low ball offer she said "We have a saying that the first offer is the best offer." That makes no sense at all. I knew she was blowing smoke up my backside just to get a quick sale and quick commission. Any way I declined that offer and the very next day I got a full offer which I accepted. Had I let her talk me into taking that low ball offer I would have lost $22,000. Next she helped me buy a home. She had her own inspector that she always uses and he certified that it passed inspection and I bought it. 5 years later when I sold it the new buyer had it inspected and found the furnace heating ducts were too small for the furnace as well as other things regarding the furnace. I had to pay out $400 hundred dollars to fix this. It would have been nice to have had the inspector she used find this so that I could have had a more efficient heating system and I could have had the previous owner fix it prior to me buying it. I wasn't impressed with April, but liked Michelle a lot. I felt Michelle looked out for me much more than April. I hope Michelle goes out on her own. Also April is so loud it's like she's yelling all the time. read more

We enlisted April and Michelle to help us find a home in Arvada some months ago after having an agent who did not know the area well. It was the best decision we could make. They have deep connections the the area and know the market really well. Michelle was amazing in her Sherlock Holmes like investigation of the options. It took some time, but we closed on a small ranch in Arvada on May 22nd and are now doing the remodel. It is just what we needed and we are grateful to the Carlton team for finding it for us. read more

I recently had April Carlton sell my home and bought another one from her company. Before I hired her, I interviewed several agents in my area but didn't really jive with anyone. So I talked to one of my best friends who had just work with April and decided to talk to her. I was super impressed when I met her. When she told me she's been in business for over 40 years and sold thousands of houses--I decided to hire her. She sold my house for $30,000 over asking price in less than a week! She was always available to answer my questions and guide me. Since this was the first time I had sold a house, I was very nervous, but she kept me informed and explained everything that happened throughout the whole transaction. Her staff is also really on top of everything and always knew what was going on. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an agent is a top notch negotiator when you are buying or selling and has more experience than any other real estate agent I know. read more

Carlton Company is an agenda that serves the realtor and not the buyer OR the seller. She very quickly sold our home while bringing in contractors and people that were all her friends. Not business associates but people she knows on a friendly basis. Ms Carlton lacks objectivity in assessing her clients with only the end goal in mind. Admittedly if you have a house to get off your hands this is easily the person who will do it for you. But If you're searching for someone with attention to detail and is client centered I feel you should really look elsewhere for seller and buyer needs. read more

Don't list with this company, don't do it!!! It's a very sad day when Realtors are so greedy and don't tell the truth. Your told one thing and they do another or what they want, not putting the client or the buyer first. Bad bad experience with Carlton Company and several other old school realtors in Arvada. This is exactly why I went with a flat fee real estate company. read more
