Patient, Upbeat and Perseverant
November 2024
I hired Caroline Glasner and Susan Diamond to help me sell a house in Point Loma. It was in very rough shape, with a lot of challenging characteristics. Caroline and Susan helped me to clean it out and gave me very good advice on what to fix and what not to fix. In a slow market, they were patient, upbeat and perseverant. We had to go through a couple of deals that did not pan out, but they hung in there for the long haul and eventually found the exact right buyer at a very good price.
I strongly recommend Caroline Glasner and Susan Diamond
Superb Realtors and Delightful People
April 2024
Susan Diamond and Caroline Glasner are superb realtors and delightful people. These ladies are professional and straightforward. As a remote seller, it was critical that they stay in communication with me every step of the process and act as my eyes and ears. They went out of their way to make the road to selling as smooth as silk. I appreciated their insights into the market and suggestions for curing any issues they spotted with the property. In addition to their deep experience as realtors, they knew of other resources that were of great help in my situation. They took care of details in a courteous, cheerful, and committed manner. I counted on them to handle things that were a bit outside of their normal role. Without their assistance, I would have spent much more time and expense traveling to the property and managing aspects of the sale. Best of all, with their guidance, I achieved the outcome I desired.

Fantastic Job Selling My Home!
April 2024
Caroline and Susan did a fantastic job selling my home! They are very knowledgeable about the market; they worked hard and went the extra mile to get things done; they handled difficult personalities with ease; they were good at keeping me up to date as to what was happening; and they explained all the paperwork so it was not daunting. I would recommend these real estate professionals to anyone without hesitation. They are the best and I would use them again in a heartbeat. SSO

Guided Through with Ease
August 2022
My family would like to recommend using Caroline & Susan at Sotheby's Realty when considering a real estate agent for the sale or purchase of your home. My sister, brother and I were looking for someone who had prior experience in the Peninsula area to help us sell our parent's home on Fleetridge Drive that we had in the family for 62 years. We immediately thought about Caroline & Susan because they had lived on the same street for many years and knew they would be familiar with the area.
Every step of the process we guided through with ease. Our initial meeting included going through the house to identify the strengths & weaknesses, evaluating recent sale comps in the area, and going over their proposed marketing strategy. We were given a short list of things that should be done to prepare for sale and within a week the property was listed and coordinated with a broker tour.
At no point did we ever feel like we did not understand something or were left in the dark as Caroline would anticipate our questions before they were asked! They were very professional and walked us through every form that needed to be signed along the way (through DocuSign). It really was an effortless sale because of them. The house was in escrow in less than 2 weeks and closed escrow 3 weeks later. I would not even bother considering anyone else!

Compassion, professionalism, and knowledge they provided was bar none!
December 2021
Susan and Caroline were recommended to assist me with the selling of a house in San Diego. I knew 10 minutes into our first long distance meeting (I am on the other side of the country), this was the team that would take care of all my needs. This was an emotional transaction for me and I had some details that needed tending to before signing to list. Susan and Caroline were there to answer all my questions, actually anticipating my concerns and questions before I even asked, guiding me through every step of the process. I received updates and expected timeline nearly daily - what had been completed, what was pending, what needed follow up - I never once had to ask for an update. I really expected selling a house would be a daunting and confusing experience - I couldn't have been more wrong, the house was listed and closed in less than 30 days. The compassion, professionalism, and knowledge they provided was bar none!

Best Real Estate Agents in San Diego
November 2021
Caroline Glasner and Susan Diamond are the best real estate agents in San Diego. They helped us sell a home several years ago, and when it came time to need a realtor again, it was a no-brainer to return to these wonderful, diligent, hard-working ladies. We are so grateful for their insightful direction, immense knowledge, and stellar professionalism. They are reliable, attentive, kind, and will always take care of your wants and needs. They reply to emails and calls immediately. They are always available to answer questions, no matter how big or small. They helped make one life's most difficult events feel smooth and relatively stress-free. We cannot recommend them enough.

Sold For More Than Expected!
April 2021
Selling a house is a big deal. It's stressful and takes up a lot of time. Factor in that you live in a different state, and that this is the estate of your recently deceased son. I was not looking forward to this at all. I was bombarded by real estate agents wanting my business. I was overwhelmed. Who do I pick? My lawyer gave me the names of Susan Diamond and Caroline Glasner from Sotheby's International Realty. These are two sisters that work together. So, first of all, you get double the experience and insight from two people that have been doing this for a long time.
The first time I met with them, I knew that I would be working with them. They were so pleasant and honest and very compassionate. They walked me through step by step what needed to be done, and the time it would take to do it. Since I was not there to oversee any of this, they went far beyond the extra mile making sure that the house was in top shape and ready to be placed on the market. They hired a cleaning agency to professionally clean the house, and even went so far as to fill the pool with water when it was getting low! What was also so appreciated was that they called me and kept me up to date on the process and the progress. They responded quickly to all of my questions and never made me feel that I was taking up too much of their time. They were not only lovely people to work with, they were total professionals.
I boarded the plane home knowing that my son's house was in the right hands. The house sold for a lot more than we expected, and it was closed in a very short amount of time. I can't say enough good things about Susan and Caroline. If you have a house to sell, give them a call. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

I am a client for life!
October 2020
My experience working with Team Caroline as a seller involved the 5 "C's":
1) COVID19 Chaos: Who would have predicted this complication? We planned our sales date months in advance. Soon after we put our house on the market and started making good traction... COVID19 shut us down. Caroline was able to pivot from public open house weekends to 100% private showings. She was constantly up to date on COVID19 restrictions and compliance. We continued to have a steady flow of prospective buyers. It was a lot of extra work for Caroline and Susan and we are grateful they kept us moving forward.
2) Communication: Caroline was effective with her communication skills. She used a variety of tools that worked well for the changes at home because of COVID19, Email, text messages, phone call, and DocuSign links helped get the job done.
3) Counsel: Caroline's expertise was priceless. She was able to counsel us on strategy, and clearly presented our choices during negotiations. Having an attorney as your real estate broker is a real bonus. I felt very confident as a client during each leg of this transaction.
4) Clutter: Caroline and Susan were able to assist us in how to de-clutter our house in advance. Susan has a wonderful eye to help the house look inviting. They also helped us decide which repairs would add the most value given our limited resources.
5) Cats: Finally, our two elderly cats were safe and secure during the numerous showings. One of our cats became a celebrity as she often helped show the house by visiting with prospective buyers and their agents.
Caroline Glasner assisted me with the recent sale of my home in Point Loma and sale of inheritance property 15 years ago. I am a client for life.

Well versed in both the traditional and digital aspects of real estate!
October 2020
Caroline Glasner is a top-notch realtor who truly knows her business and is a pleasure to work with. She is well versed in both the traditional and digital aspects of real estate. I was in a daunting situation, responsible for a selling house that hadn't been updated in 40 years, with reverse mortgage wolves lurking at the door.
With her knowledge and expertise Caroline knew exactly how to move forward and handle every obstacle. She calmly guided me through the process of preparing, listing, and selling my mother's house under difficult conditions. In addition to answering all of my questions she offered valuable information and insight I would not have had with another realtor, as she is also a trained attorney.
She was very responsive to my needs, returning all calls, texts and emails promptly. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again.

Extensive Knowledge of the Real Estate Business and Market
September 2020
There are several things that stood out to me when we worked together - your professionalism, attention to detail, extensive knowledge of the real estate business and market, prompt responses to questions and steadfast guidance, all while navigating the multitude of changes in processes and documentation due to Covid.
From our first meeting, I knew that I could rely on you to successfully sell my home at the very best price. I never worried that any detail would be missed or forgotten - you were mindful of the present while keeping an eye on the next several steps. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to my friends and family.
