“Our family was not in the market to buy and sell our home especially during a pandemic. Carla inspired us and gave us the courage to take the leap of faith. She came on to the scene, for our dream home and made it a reality. The purchase and sale of our home was a complicated transaction with the need for everything to line up. Timing was everything. Carla held space for us both professionally and personally during every step of the transaction. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Words cannot express how grateful we are to have worked with her. She is not only an amazing realtor, but she is also a dear friend. We would recommend Carla to anyone purchasing or selling a home in a heartbeat….”

“Thank you for the stellar job you did selling our home and guiding us through the process. We really appreciate how professional you are and the level of experience you bring as an agent, especially in our situation as it was our first time selling and we were moving our family to another country during a Pandemic. We feel grateful for the crew you work with that made the house look amazing under your management and selling for $175,000.00 over the list price!”

"Carla made my dream of being a Pasadena homeowner and investor come true in one fell swoop and during the pandemic no less! It was her knowledge of the market, her connections with other supporting vendors, her negotiation skills and all-around caring spirit that brought me this blessing. I'm very grateful to her and I recommend her to anyone who is looking to find their perfect home and/or investment property."

We love how she brings all of that into everything she does.She is also the type of person that you can count on to back up her words with action!”

“Carla's kindness, generous spirit and professional acumen was reflected not only in her interactions with us-her clients-but in how well-connected and universally respected she was with everyone we encountered in the process. She has a great network of contractors who helped us fine tune our home.She has great relationships with local agents which helped bring potential buyers to our door.She had previously worked with our eventual buyer's agent and our escrow company, whichmade everything flow smoothly despite the added complexity of my husband and I being out of the country. Carla does things the right way, professionally and with kindness, while still obtaining excellent results.Her credibility within the market is well-deserved and a great asset to her clients.We cannot stress enough how wonderful Carla was and we will happily recommend her to anyone looking to for an agent!Anyone would be lucky to have Carla and her team helping them”

“Carla Buigues made the processes of both buying and selling our first home fun & nearly seamless experiences. Aren’t we supposed to be stressed about these endeavors? And in such a fast-paced industry such as real estate? Even through a global pandemic, Carla’s professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to educate us and update us through the process was stellar. Her instincts for home-investing are spot on and she is truly an expert in her field. Her negotiating skills are effective and respectful. The results of working with Carla far exceeded our expectations. Anyone who chooses to be represented by Carla Buigues is in excellent hands.”

“When we decided to buy our first home it was important to find an agent who not only knew the market but who listened and understood us. Too many agents are simply cookie cutter salespeople who try and push clients into the first homes that match general search terms regardless of whether or not it fits their clients. We simply could not have found a better agent than Carla Buigues. Carla took the time to not just know our house needs but to know who we are as people. It's obvious that she cares about her clients and takes great pride in helping them find a home.
This is especially comforting and important to us as first-time home buyers who had never been through this process before. Carla is incredibly professional and responsive, always answering our emails and texts immediately, even at night and on weekends. We are forever grateful that we had Carla as an agent and would recommend her to anyone looking for a home.”

“Having placed multiple properties for sale in the past, needless to say, I'm not a novice to the process. After much research, I chose Carla Buigues to spearhead the sale on my behalf. I needed someone with a good track record to work diligently in expediting the sale. Thanks to Ms. Buigues, being a master at her craft, she marketed the property, attracted multiple offers and sold my property for several thousands over the list price! Very rarely do you encounter a professional who is top notch in an aggressive marketplace who as well embodies a genuine heart for her client. Ms. Buigues is such person! I will definitely keep her as a connection and refer her for all future real estate needs.”

“What separates Carla Buigues from other agents is that she has a wealth of real estate knowledge, and negotiation skills that are second to none, coupled with the emotional intelligence to know when we were feeling afraid or uncertain and she responded to those fears with a lot of empathy. More importantly is the fact that once we found our perfect home, Carla was fearless in getting us a deal that far exceeded our expectations. If you are thinking of buying or selling a home, Carla Buigues is your agent! She is smart, mindful and will make YOU her priority.”
Lorraine & Nance Nickels
“With our Carla, we would not have our forever home!
We found our dream house before it was on the market. She reached out the sellers agent, we toured, strategized, and got into contract quickly! Her ability to build a relationship with the sellers agent, and her smart analysis on the price, and amazing negotiation made this all possible for us.
We now live in a beautiful home that is in walking distance from the kids school, dining and the little league field.”

“I got to know Carla through her work in the Community at Leadership Pasadena program and very quickly was impressed by her positive attitude and determination. When we began planning to buy our first home, I approached Carla with all my reservations and concerns. She masterfully put me at ease with a wealth of knowledge and information which motivated me at the same time. I strongly believe that it was Carla's expertise, determination and persistence with the seller's agent that got us into escrow and helped us successfully close escrow on our home. Thank you, Carla for helping us buy our first home!”

“Carla was absolutely amazing in showing us our future property. She was kind, responsive, patient and thorough. We had a somewhat tricky situation as our lease still had some time before we would be able to move into the new property, but Carla was able to advocate on our behalf and negotiate a deal that worked beautifully for both parties. We are now happily settled in our new home.”

“Working with Carla and her team takes the guess work out of the most nerve-wracking process. Carla found us our dream home…but if we ever decide to sell, she will be our first call!”
