"As out of town buyers, we relied extensively on Courtney to get our transaction done. She was a pleasure to work with - reliable, responsive, and very well organized. Her knowledge of the area was instrumental to us finding the right house. She coordinated all the inspections and was our local "eyes and ears" throughout the process. I can say without qualification that Courtney is the best real estate agent we've ever worked with."

"We asked Courtney to help us sell our family home after our Mother passed away. Courtney also invited other local REALTORS® in to assess the value of the property and then she worked with us to develop a sale plan. She is very knowledgeable of the local market and the needs of the buyers in the area. She worked quickly to find a well qualified buyer. She was very considerate to our family, scheduling her market preparation tasks around us. She is skilled in presenting the best features of the property and navigating all the required paperwork. We are very grateful to her."

"Hard-working, enthusiastic and relentless. I highly recommend her. She will make your deal happen in a very tough market."

"We had a completely excellent experience with Courtney. She quickly and accurately developed an understanding of what we were looking for; and then showed us a well-edited selection of lovely homes. Once we found our dream home she helped us immensely through the negotiation process and helped us save a considerable amount of money; all the while guiding us through the intricacies of the sale. We are thoroughly happy with our experience; thanks to Courtney!"

"I recommend Courtney highly - this was the second time she has represented me as a seller and I returned to her for good reason.  She represented me in the smooth sale of our longtime family home a number of years ago.  This recent sale was in my capacity as Co-Trustee for a dear friend's trust and Courtney was an incredible source of reliable contractors, movers and other wonderful workers who helped me through the process.  You will find her to be a calm and reliable partner throughout the journey!"

"We chose Courtney to list the family property in Carmel-by-the-Sea initially based on her reviews and local knowledge of the area. Once we met and talked with her we were convinced she would represent us with integrity and enthusiasm. I have been involved with several REALTORS® over the years and found that Courtney excelled in client service. While we missed the initial price point on the home, and turned down several early offers, she never got discouraged and was always willing to maintain the price we set, while patiently and continuously suggesting that the market needed to dictate the value and not necessarily our emotions. She followed through with all her representations and obligations, holding open houses beyond the normal requirements. Once the property was in escrow she continued working with us in a difficult negotiation over deferred maintenance issues that arose during the due diligence inspections of the new owner. She held steady on the reality of the situation and did not buckle on pressure from the buyers agent. Courtney, was always willing to coordinate and or schedule activities since we were an out of town owner, and we were always confident in how she handled the issues that came up. She made us feel as if we were her only client and she was always accessible and quick to respond to our needs. I would have no hesitation in recommending Courtney to handle any real estate transaction in the area. Her thoroughness, attention to detail, willingness to help and spirited professional enthusiasm were refreshing assets in making our experience positive and successful. Go Courtney!!"

Letter written to Malone Hodges, Broker Carmel Realty:

"There is one person at your firm whom Diane and I must single out for her creativity, enthusiasm, hard work and good cheer. Courtney Jones is incredible…you and Carmel Realty are extremely fortunate to have her as one of your agents. You once told me you would like to clone her…can't be done as she is very special. She spent an amazing amount of time and effort working for us. I once asked her if she had any other clients besides us. She said she did, but wanted us to feel as if we were her only ones. If you and Courtney ever need a testimonial as to how to effectively market real estate and service a client, please call upon us!"

"I would give her a 10 STAR Rating if there was WON. I say "won" because Courtney is a winner! She took us through escrow and to the finish line with ease.

Courtney Jones is professional, PATIENT, has an absolute amazing personality, could trust her with my dog and kids in a Carmel Valley heartbeat (which I might have her do if my kiddos need a sitter :) ) and a very level headed agent. I've met a lot of real estate agents in my line of work as a photographer who has photographed many homes for them...and many of them are just off their rocker! Courtney on the other hand is the total opposite. She doesn't just want to collect a commission...she wants to find the right home for you at the right price. She is thinking about you and your needs!!! Courtney knows the market very well in Carmel.

And that is what she did! My family and I wouldn't be living in Carmel Valley right now if she didn't work her magic. She is just flat out...BRILLIANT!

If you want to have a really fun and easy journey to purchasing a home...you have found your agent!"

"We highly recommend Courtney. She knows the area, is highly organized and did an excellent job finding and showing us homes that met our criteria. We live primarily on the East Coast, so our time on the Peninsula was limited. Courtney showed us 12 homes during our first two days and, by the fourth day, we placed a bid on the home that we now own. She gave us sound advice during the bidding process and continued to do her job effectively through closing. It is all too rare to find a REALTOR® who is the full package, but we found that Courtney fits that bill."

"Courtney is a true professional and a delight to work with.  Our property was one of a kind and required a unique sales approach. After discussing our philosophy with a few REALTORS®, we decided that Courtney would be a good partner for us. She is enthusiastic and hardworking, making every step of the way as easy as possible. We would recommend Courtney whether you are buying or selling a property."

"Courtney was a wonderful REALTOR® to us...what makes her a good REALTOR® is that she listens to her clients and goes the extra mile to find the right home for you. She went above and beyond...and is incredibly organized and detail oriented. Because of the strong skills she possesses, she made the purchase of our very first home as newlyweds a much easier and successful process. We would highly recommend Courtney to anyone searching for a home on the Monterey Peninsula."

"Courtney was a delight to work with: conscientious and hard working, knowledgeable about our local real estate market and sensitive to our priorities. We highly recommend her as an agent who can get the job done."

"Courtney is incredibly knowledgeable not only about the homes in the Carmel area, having so much personal history there, but also about all facets of real estate transactions. She possesses all of my favorite qualities in a broker- organized, proactive, dedicated, persistent and has an amazing eye for detail. Plus she's just the nicest person you'll ever meet. She found our dream home in record time and went above and beyond the call of duty in all areas of the transaction!"

"Courtney was a complete professional and very pleasant in all aspects of the sale of our house, she stuck with the business of getting it sold and didn't let up and we achieved a desirable result. Impressed with her expertise with the realty market and professionalism. Dedicated to top customer satisfaction. Paid great detail in marketing our home with photo advertisement in several newspapers, web page and internet coverage. Always follows through with feedback quickly after showings and any questions or concerns. I have worked with many REALTORS® and I would have to say Courtney is at the top of the list. She covered all the details on the two transactions that we recently closed."

"It's my pleasure to recommend you to anyone. To get the easy part out of the way - I cannot think of anything you could improve. You worked well providing good advice on everything we needed - and I have not always had that experience. You were patient with probably a lot of dumb questions and took all the time needed to get us comfortable with the local markets in the Monterey area so we were well-informed about what one pays and what one gets in different areas.

Once we made up our mind on what to buy you both made the transaction go smoothly, going out of your way on all sorts of odd issues that came up. And the same great service happened on our sale.You made buying one house and selling another house easier than taking a prepaid vacation to Thailand!"

"For anyone seeking representation to buy or sell a home in the Carmel area, we cannot recommend someone more highly than Courtney. We found her by pure luck and we are so fortunate that we did. From the home search through closing, she was our advocate and eyes and ears on the ground as we largely made the home purchase from Oregon. Courtney treats clients' transactions as if they are her own; and she thinks of and addresses issues that otherwise might go unnoticed and become a challenge after the fact. Simple decision...work with Courtney!"

"Having worked very closely with Courtney Jones to find the perfect home, we can with all certainty recommend her. In looking to re-locate from Europe to the Monterey Peninsula, we worked together on a weekly and often daily basis. She is highly professional and organized. She went beyond the call of duty to assist us despite many barriers and difficulties mainly due to us living so far away. While Courtney's work and dedication to us was abundant; I would also recommend Courtney due to her honesty and trustworthiness. These qualities truly set her apart from many other agents we experienced during the buying process."

"Courtney was an absolute joy to work with. She handled complex challenges and handled them cheerfully and competently. The consummate professional, Courtney did an outstanding job in every aspect of our Pebble Beach real estate transaction."

"We cannot thank Courtney enough for all of the time she invested in helping us purchase our vacation home. As out-of-town buyers, we relied heavily on Courtney's professionalism, perseverance and extensive knowledge and connections. We highly recommend Courtney if you are looking to buy or sell a home in Carmel."

"Courtney Jones handled the sale of our Carmel property and was selected from a referral from my Broker. After an interview we set out a game plan and I set a fairly aggressive ask price for our home. She planned the presentation and used multiple media approaches to the information rollout. In a matter of the first week or so we had an all cash offer which I passed on and in about nine weeks we had another all cash offer which we negotiated to a conclusion. She is a worker and consulted with me regularly giving her honest view of how to proceed. I think we made a pretty good team and sold our property in a dismal real estate market beating the estimates of other REALTORS® on what we could get for the home."

"Courtney did a terrific job for us. She worked hard and held many open houses and after the house was in escrow followed through with all of the closing details. She works very professionally and with a lot of heart. I wish all of my real estate transactions in the past went as well. Thank you Courtney for your diligence and long hours of open houses to get the house sold."
