Seller | La Cañada Flintridge

Carey and Andy Haynes are excellent residential realtors who I recommend without reservation. They represented us in two successful single family home transactions, one as buyers agents and the other as sellers agents. They are experienced, knowledgeable, responsive, creative and dedicated to their clients' objectives. In our purchase, their reputation for representing high quality clients gave the sellers the confidence to pick us because we were closers. In our sale, their knowledge and experience were essential to navigate a few unexpected twists and turns with the property and transaction. These are quality people with the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.

It’s been my experience that putting your house on the market is never enjoyable. It’s a ton of work getting it into shape to show, and once you do there are a lot of concerns and expectations. The whole process can be very stressful. What I learned this time out-- going with Carey and Andy-- is that it doesn’t have to be. These guys know what they’re doing. In addition to their knowledge and track record as top agent/brokers in the area, they each possess a unique set of skills that perfectly complement one another. Andy has a background as an artist and a keen eye for what aesthetically appeals to buyers (and what doesn’t)… and Carey’s decades of experience in La Canada have exposed her to pretty much every scenario imaginable that she’s able to draw from. Nothing rattles her. Nothing. Watching her in action not only makes you feel that you’re in the best possible hands, you can’t h…

Nothing rattles her. Nothing. Watching her in action not only makes you feel that you’re in the best possible hands, you can’t help but notice how much Carey truly loves what she does. This woman chose the right career! I think what may have impressed me most was their take on how to market our home. I won’t go into all the details, but based on the current crazy landscape of low inventory and the trend of multiple bidders driving up the price, it was a plan that worked big time, in spite of my initial reluctance. Bottom line: we had more offers than we imagined possible and it sold for more than 20% over listing price. On top of that, we had a lot of laughs along the way. If you’re looking for an agent, go with the pros. Honestly, you can’t do better than Carey and Andy.

Carey and Andy are THE BEST team! Our experience with the Haynes Group was so seamless and enjoyable, words just can't describe the smiles on our faces and warmth in our hearts. Carey's wealth of knowledge and decades of experience, combined with Andy's intelligence, craftiness and attention to detail make up a truly dynamic duo. As a cohesive team, they made the home buying process so easy on us! We firmly believe that without their leadership and guidance, we would still be on the sidelines in this competitive housing market. All skills and savvy aside - Carey and Andy are just amazing and authentic people, and it's no coincidence they're so successful in a field so contingent on building real and lasting relationships. We can't recommend them highly enough, life long clients!

As a team, Carey and Andy Haynes impressed us not only with their knowledge of La Canada Flintridge and its current real estate market, but also with their respect for our unique set of circumstances. Our home was sold quickly through their excellent marketing skills—for 19.8% more than the asking price—and we left it feeling most appreciative of the their real estate acumen, and also of their honesty and friendly dedication to client service.

Carey and Andy made our sale a fantastic success! My brothers and I worked with them on the probate sale of our parents’ house, which was complicated since neither my brothers nor I lived in the area. Carey provided expert advice on pricing and how to best present the house, and handled all of the probate paperwork. She had great suggestions for ways to dispose of various household items to minimize waste, working very hard to make necessary arrangements and take care of innumerable tasks, while also remaining in frequent communication with all of us about status and decisions to be made. She had great crews to handle removal of remaining junk, yard improvement, and house cleaning; she and Andy also handled special services such as removing and shipping a lighting fixture, and facilitating a piano sale.

When the house was ready, they put together a great website, with compelling narrative, wonderful photos, floor plans, 3-D visualizations and video walk-through, along with prominent print advertising. The open houses were very busy and the house ended up selling for much more than my brothers and I had originally expected! Carey and Andy were personable, enjoyable to work with, sensitive to the difficult task of selling a long-time family home, and always available. They made the whole process as easy as possible for all of us.

“Carey and Andy are nothing short of incredible, wonderful people and realtors! I could not be more thankful to have found them to help me sell a Trust property. They took this property from A-Z to get it ready to list. From clean up, hauling, moving, donating, they handled ALL OF IT. It gave me total peace of mind knowing the property was in their able and caring hands. They had my best interests at heart and really cared about the house and it’s history. Cannot possibly give enough praise to these two and their team for all of their hard work and dedication to this get this over the finish line for me. I will always be grateful for them and never forget them.”

Seller | La Cañada

Carey really saved us. She took over the sale of our home from another agent when we had no action at all. She was energetic and aggressive and got our house sold within a few weeks. She was especially good in helping us find our way through the escrow phase. She is energetic and personable. She always gets back to you right away. She is your go to gal for La Canada.

Seller | La Cañada

Carey Haynes is the best realtor in the business. She has represented us both buying and selling over the past 12 years. We could not be more thrilled with our experiences with her as our realtor. She was very easy to work with and extremely reliable and in tune with our family’s needs. We would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to buy or sell. Carey is smart, kind and energetic and makes you feel like her number one client despite her busy schedule.

Seller | La Crescenta

Carey and Andy are just the best. We were referred to Carey by good friends who have sold several houses through Carey and did really well. We started talking to Carey in advance, planning to list later on and she was really helpful with all the details of finding a mover, cleaning up, selling stuff, etc. Then, before we even signed a listing agreement, she brought us a deal too good to refuse. Simplest, fastest, smoothest sale ever. The buyers are delightful, too. Excellent deal for everyone. Can’t say enough good things about Carey, Andy, Sharon and the whole office. We would give them six stars if we could!

Buyer | Pasadena

There is no one better in the real estate market in this area. Carey knows her market like the back of her hand, is always realistic about what a reasonable selling or buying price should be and works tirelessly for her clients. She is 100% honest (even if it’s something you don’t want to hear), 100% professional and always conducts her business with integrity. I have had four selling/ buying experiences with Carey and not only did they progress as smoothly as possible, she was a pleasure and a lot of fun to work with. I would work with Carey again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her if you are in need of a realtor.

Buyer | La Cañada

Carey is the absolute best! She was outstanding to work with during our recent purchase. She has terrific knowledge of the local market and did a great job of screening properties based on our preferences. In fact, we ended up purchasing the first property she recommended that we look at and are extremely happy with our first new home. Carey calmly guided us through the nerve-racking bidding and inspection process and we are so happy that we had her on and by our side. We recommended Carey to a friend who also had a successful purchase with her. We will definitely team up with Carey again for our next real estate transaction!

Seller/Buyer | La Cañada

If you are looking for a realtor in the La Cañada/ surrounding area, look no further. Carey and Andy Haynes are the absolute best in the industry! I am positive that Carey and Andy are one of the major reasons we were able to purchase our new home. With their knowledge, experience and industry connections, we were able to purchase our dream home in one of the most competitive real estate markets in CA. They also helped us sell our current home in under a week, getting multiple offers, all over asking price! They have been there for us literally every step of the way. I always know they have our family and our best interests at heart. They are one of a kind!

Seller/Buyer | La Cañada

Carey and Andy recently helped us sell our house in La Canada and helped us purchase another home in Pasadena when we wanted to 'downsize'. We couldn't be happier with their professionalism, intelligence and the care they provided to us throughout the process!! Carey had helped us buy our La Canada property 25 years earlier and when we wanted to sell, we immediately went to her and Andy and didn't even consider engaging with any other agent. Carey and Andy were extremely accessible, answering our numerous questions and requests and expertly navigating the whole process. They know the local markets very well and are an absolute pleasure to deal with. We are so appreciative of our experience working with them and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering buying or selling a property.

Seller/Buyer | La Cañada

Simply, Carey Haynes is the best. Don't waste your time looking beyond Carey and Andy. She has proven this assessment over many years in the hundreds of real estate transactions she has brokered in the San Gabriel Valley. Carey is the consummate professional, and manages the business and personal elements of home sales with exquisite sensitivity. I've observed Carey from both sides of transactions and remain impressed by her fierce commitment to her clients while retaining a formidable reputation of integrity. Her in-depth knowledge of the market and extensive network of contacts means she is a masterful guide through difficult situations, challenging negotiations, and the inevitable surprises that accompany residential real estate. She is strong and smart and makes good things happen. You will love her results and love working with her.

Carey helped us to buy our home in 2010 and was - from the first meeting - easy to work with, knowledgeable and engaged. So she was our first (and only choice) when time came to sell. And I honestly don't think we could have found a better team - Carey and Andy are truly caring and know how to get results. They helped us through the preparation stages with advice and recommendations for suppliers, not to mention hand-holding through the unfamiliar paperwork. Since we were out of state for most of the process, Carey and Andy were essential in making sure everything ran smoothly, and were prompt in dealing with any issues that arose. Andy was meticulous in learning about the house and its history, and communicating that to potential buyers, and Carey's industry knowledge helped us avoid a potentially difficult buyer.

And since our beloved home turned out to be a more difficult sell than expected in the current market, I cannot express how much I appreciated the patience, humour, and moral support. Really, they worked hard to make a difficult process as smooth and painless as possible.

Carey and her son, Andy, are the best! They are smart, caring, prompt, practical, detail-oriented and really fun to work with. Carey and Andy recently represented us on the sale of our home of 14 years and the purchase of our new home. Both transactions occurred simultaneously and were incredibly smooth. On the sale side, they helped us put our house on the market in less than 2 weeks. It was under contract (over asking, with multiple offers) in 8 days. Before listing I was concerned that a realtor would tell us we needed to move out our things and have it professionally staged. That wasn't the case. C&A simply suggested that we thin out our things a bit. This was a huge relief. They had practical (and inexpensive!) ideas for showing the home. On the buy side, C&A managed the process with seller, escrow, the inspectors and lender smoothly. With both of these transactions occurring sim…

Wow! Working with Carey and Andy to find our dream home proved to be a wonderful experience! Both were reachable (pretty much at all hours every day) to answer questions, set up house viewings, and get advice. Once we found our home, this mother/son team were great resources when finding trusted companies to do our wood floors, paint, lighting, etc. Carey and Andy know the best of the best in the area! Both buying and fixing up our home was made easier with their knowledge and support. Not only are they fantastic realtors, but they also have hearts of gold. They went out of their way to make sure my husband and I were happy throughout the process. Even though they work with many clients (because they're so amazing), I always felt like we were a priority and that they truly wanted what was best for us during our home search.

Wow, what can we possibly say about Carey and Andy? This mother/son powerhouse team is truly amazing! First, they got us into our dream home. We were first-time home buyers, and they guided us through every minute step of the process. They met us at showings so we could go through homes together; they kept in constant contact with us by email and text; they worked on weekends and late nights; they were patient with our questions; they babysat...yes, BABYSAT our small children while we walked through some open houses so that we could get good looks at the homes we saw; they walked us through inspections, escrow processes, finance issues, termite inspections, chimney inspections... you name it. Andy is a total pro at all the elements of home construction--structural, electrical, heating/cooling, plumbing, flooring... the whole thing. Carey is a FANTASTIC mover and shaker that knows…

Carey is a FANTASTIC mover and shaker that knows everyone in town and can get anything done for you with one phone call-- she's on top of the market, she's in tune with pocket listings, and if a house isn't worth the listed price, she lets you know. They talked us through the emotional issues of buying a house and were always kind and patient. And since we've purchased our home, Carey and Andy have continued to be there to support us. They still happily answer all our stupid home ownership questions. It was a wild ride buying our first home and we're so happy we took that ride with Carey and Andy.
