True Professional

Carole is a true professional at her job of selling and helping people buy homes. She is always available through text messages or phone calls. This may be hard to believe but she sold our last home with a Facebook video sent to the new buyers who bought the home site unseen. I was glad to have been able to have her as my real estate representative.

Zero Delays

My wife and I were extremely fortunate to partner up with Carole and her son, John, when we decided to move to Jacksonville to pursue an employment opportunity and make the move from Louisiana. From the very beginning, Team Bayer was on top of it – finding us great homes in the area that met our requirements and within our budget. Carole lined up several showings for us in a short two-day period and was wonderful when it came to answering our questions. Team Bayer helped us coordinate with a real estate agent in Louisiana to get our home sold on time and in just 44 short days, we closed our home in Louisiana and St. Johns with zero delays. Their communication was excellent between our lenders, insurance provider, and with the Louisiana agent. They truly made a stressful situation a breeze and happily recommend them to anyone in the area. Hands down the best real estate team in Jacksonville. -

Smooth

I was introduced to Carole and son John by relatives who had a very successful experience with their help in purchasing a home in the same community. Carole and John helped me put together a competitive bid in a highly competitive market that resulted in acceptance within hours. I believe my offer was accepted by the Seller because of the quick Closing date I offered which was recommended by Carole and John. In addition to a successful offer presentation, Carole and John had access to a team of professionals to call upon for home inspections, service providers and insurance coverage that made the home purchase process smooth. I have bought and sold many houses over the years but never have any gone as smooth as this one! P.S. I can't wait to see the home. This successful home purchase was done remotely

Phenomenal

Our second time buying with Carole and John as our agents. They did a phenomenal job of keeping us informed and helping us navigate in the most difficult market I’ve ever seen as a buyer! They were instrumental in us making the successful offer on a highly sought after home in a prestigious neighborhood. Could not recommend them highly enough!

Instrumental

From the first communication with Carole I knew my wife and I were in great hands. She asked us our story which was very complicated with selling our house in the DC area and moving to Florida. She was in constant (but not overbearing) contact during every step of our move down. Carole and her teammate John were a constant fount of knowledge. The market is an absolute nightmare to navigate at the moment and if I had one piece of advice for a buyer or a seller it’s definitely use a realtor and not one of these faceless internet companies. Carole and John took great care at every step of the process to make sure we saw every option and found the home we wanted. Personalized service is hard to find these days, but I always felt like we were her only client at the time. I was shocked to find out she works with multiple clients at once because I felt like we had the whole Bayer group all to ourself. Carole and John are engrained members of this community, and it shows with their breadth of knowledge of market trends. Combine all of that knowledge, experience and impeccable attention to detail with the warmest personal touch you can find. In this market time was a key factor and Carole and John took us to well over 70 homes in various neighborhoods in the area. Juggling multiple offer situations and negotiating firmly and fairly to ensure we got the best bang for our buck. In addition at no time did we feel pressured to buy something above our means, quite the contrary Carole gave us great life advice to ensure we remain financially stable for the future family we intend to grow. I can’t recommend them enough and am available for personal testimonials if need be or more information. This country’s backbone middle class is in a housing crisis and people like Carole and John are the guides to see you through. And it doesn’t stop there following move in Carole and John have been instrumental in providing referrals and advice to customize and upgrade our home.

They Listen

My husband and I moved from Louisiana to Florida, so we had no knowledge of the area at all. We got lucky and met Carole and her son, John, at an open house while we were vacationing. They were very knowledgeable about different neighborhoods and the market. They really listened to what we were looking for in a home. When we returned to the area a few months later, I felt like we were their only clients. They tirelessly showed us many, many homes so we could feel comfortable making an offer. And even though the market is crazy right now, we never felt rushed or pushed into making a decision. After getting our offer accepted, Carole guided us through every step of the process until we closed. She was extremely well-organized and followed through so we didn’t drop the ball on anything. She also provided us with some recommendations so that we wouldn’t have to start from scratch to find experienced painters, electricians, and interior designers. The people she recommended were wonderful! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone! In addition to being a great realtor, Carole is a genuinely nice person who is committed to finding you your dream home. We would definitely work with Carole and John again!

Peace of Mind

One of the most difficult times in my life has been dealing with my aging Mom and her descent into dementia. When the time came to move her to assisted living and dispose of her estate one of my biggest fears was the looming prospect of having to sell her home. She had a reverse mortgage and frankly her place was not in good shape after years of cognitive decline.
I was very fortunate that Carole lived right down the street from my mom . She was a good neighbor and friend to her and I was grateful to talk to her about selling the home. She was very understanding of my timeline as I faced clearing the home almost entirely on my own. She also understood I really needed to go through this process of packing away my mother's life and digesting it emotionally and mentally.
Carole gave me peace of mind going into that terrible mission that at the end of it we were going to come out of it with the absolute best return we could to pay for my Mom's ongoing care. Knowing that made all those days sweating and crying in that empty house possible and I really really needed it.
And she was true to her word. Within 35 days of contract Mom's house sold.She was in contact throughout the process of 30 showings and 22 offers to find the buyer that fit my needs for an "as is" cash sale and a pretty tight deadline for closing once it went "live". 21 of those days were in "coming soon" as I cleared the house so the speed of the sale once we went live was pretty remarkable. She gave me the peace and space and support I needed while she dealt with the nuts and bolts. We got a great return and my family can rest easy knowing Mom will be cared for with no worries for years to come.
For me this was all personal. Buying or selling a home really is very personal. Carole understands that. I honestly don't think I can offer a more hearfelt recommendation than that. When Carole Bayer is your Realtor, it's personal.

Highly Recommended

Carole is a fabulous realtor. Very professional, excellent communication, and always prompt and ready to help when needed.

Since I was buying out-of-state, I was pressed for time to find a house. Carole went above and beyond -- and worked very long hours; if it was 10:30pm, she was on it and responding or coordinating for the next day.

Although I had met several realtors in Florida before meeting Carole, when I did meet Carole I knew right away that she was the realtor I had been looking for. And I'm so glad she and I were able to work together, because she and her son John were able to help me find my dream house. Thank you, Carole!

One major thing I really liked about Carole was that she always provided comps and was very strategic with bidding on homes, and presented information very clearly so that making a good offer was smooth and easy.

I highly recommend Carole!

Top of Mine

Carole and her son make a great team. They take time to get to know their buyer clients' needs and tastes and don't bother them with listings that aren't a good match. They are very generous with their time when showing houses. Even when a client is out-of-state (like we were) they keep th top-of-mind and continue searching for them. We strongly endorse the Bayer team!

Took the Time

Carol assisted my wife and I as we started out journey for a possible move to Florida. We were unsure of what area we wanted to purchase a home in. Carol not only showed us properties in the Nocatee area but also put us in contact with realtors in other areas of Florida to assist us. Not only did she do this she stayed in contact with us for over 6 months to ensure we were getting the help we needed. We would highly recommend Carol to anyone looking for a professional in real estate.

Patient & Kind

Carole consistently went above and beyond the call of duty to help us with our new home. She is extremely patient, kind, and helpful - always available to answer questions and share her insight and deep knowledge. She is highly communicative and has tremendous integrity. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, and fully intend to use her again!

Best Realtor

Carole is so great I nicknamed her “The Best Little Realtor in Florida”. My husband and I have literally moved 8 times across country buying and selling each home in the last ten years and no one compared to Carole. Her professionalism, courteous, promptness and knowledge are phenomenal. We would definitely recommend her in a heartbeat. In our opinion she is the one you want to have in your corner when purchasing a home. Also her son John is following in his mother’s footsteps and is just as wonderful to deal with. A golden team and we were very fortunate to find them especially in this market.

Prompt

We found Carole Bayer first of all very attentive to our needs. She was always prompt to respond whenever we contacted her. She kept us regularly informed about the process and communication with the buyers. She set up necessary meetings with buyers and the City Real Estate Title Company so that we were comfortable with the process. She was present both at the gathering of the neighborhood meeting and at the closing of the sale of the property. She provided us with copies of all the paperwork and the final documents. We will recommend Mrs. Carole Bayer to other people. She delightfully invited me and our finance team to a delightful dinner to show us appreciation for having allowed her to serve us with her wonderful skills. It has been a pleasure to have come to meet and to know Carole , Fr. Cesarino Russo, Administrator of St. Ephrem Syriac Catholic Church, in Jacksonville, Florida.

Attentive

Carol Bayer helped us find our perfect home in a beautiful neighborhood in Ponte Vedra Beach that we didn't know existed. She was always attentive and responsive to all of our needs. If we had questions, she would either know the answers or find them right away. She is professional, honest and forthright and I am happy to recommend her without reservation.
