Donna was awesome. She gave us advice on which house to look at in the area. Showed us on our first, and only, trip the house we decided to go with. She was available at any time and answered all our questions and gave us fair and straight forward opinions.

My husband and I were relocating from out of state to the Carlsbad/Oceanside area of San Diego county in California. We worked with Donna during our search. She was awesome! She helped us narrow down the areas that were best suited our needs and then she was very patient while we searched for a couple of months for just the right home. Donna was very easy to work with and when we finally closed on our new house she was there to help us find the trades people we needed to get our renovation started. I highly recommend Donna if you are looking for a real estate agent in north San Diego county. Her real estate partner, Chrissie Carr, was great too. They were both professional and caring throughout our whole experience.

I am very happy with my first home buying experience with Donna. I would highly recommend donna to all my friends and family members for buying agent. She never influenced me to make a decision and always understood my situation. She stood by me on each step from the da I put an offer to the day I received my home keys. Even after getting my home keys she always answers and helps me to solve my problems in which I need guidance. She understand how to communicate with seller's agent and how to represent buyer to seller and that helped a lot. She communicate and represent all true things in a good and professional way that leaves nice impression of buyer to seller's agent which helps buyer to stand step ahead than any other buyers. I NEVER THOUGHT MY FIRST HOME BUYING EXPERIENCE WOULD BE... Show More

This was my third (selling) experience with Chrissie. She had to deal with a couple of extremely difficult buyers. Chrissie always handles herself in a most professional manner. Her talent and impeccable character are the reasons I keep coming back.

We have known Chrissie for many years. She found us our first home in Carlsbad and then we went back to her when we wanted to sell. She is a pleasure to know and work with. Her knowledge of the area is amazing and she really looks out for you and works hard for you. She has integrity and is very knowledgable of the real estate market.

I worked with Donna Henning Howell. She was an absolute pleasure to to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying a home. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional and helpful in every way every step of the way. It was like having your best friend help you buy a home! I can't say enough about how great Redfin is.

A good experience. They anticipated my needs and concerns and made the entire home buying experience pretty much non-stressful. As to the question below, neither Donna or Chrissie mentioned or asked me to complete this survey. Not sure why you folks are asking this question.

WE had much more contact with Donna than we did with Chrissie. Donna was always ready to help out and readily made arrangements with Chrissie to be willing to meet with us and show the property again. WE are very happy with their handling the sale of property on Kalpati Circle in Carlsbad.

A totally positive experience, especially in smoothing out some rough spots in the process. Great communication, and has a strong and talented group of people and resources to help sell in a down market. Would not think of using anyone else. By the way, Chrissie never even mentioned a survey.

We bought a short sale condo and we completed the sale within six weeks of writing the initial offer. Chrissie and Donna know how to get a short sale done and they were awesome!

Chrissie is a breath of fresh air. I recently just bought a home in Carlsbad and I originally used a different friend/agent. I had a terrible experience and then I trurned to Chrissie. I have known Chrissie all my life but never in this capacity. She is the best and she only works with the best. She will not recommend anything unless the contact has been fully vetted. I will refer her to anyone that is looking because they will be in good hands.

Chrissie Carr was an absolute professional. The things we appreciated most about working with Chrissie were: 1.We feel she was honest and open on all accounts 2.She knew the local real estate market down to individual houses and had a good sense of pricing and value. 3.Her reactions were always level-headed, reasonable and proactive. For example, dealing with other realtors who might drop the ball, she insulated us from the headaches and just kept their phone ringing until things were done. 4.We felt she was truly working on our behalf in the negotiations 5.She and her staff minimized the paperwork hassles and kept things as simple as possible 6.She was always available to help and answer questions

Chrissie Carr was the agent for a house we just bought in Carlsbad. I recall complimenting her repeatedly for her diligence and responsiveness. What I really appreciated was how approachable she was, and her confidence and trust. She seemed to sense just when I needed reassurance rather than pure information. I also appreciate her sense of humor. I would definitely recommend her - I was more than pleasantly surprised!

We worked with Chrissie on both a new purchase, and the sale of our home. She handled a complicated situation expertly - really made it a stress free experience for my family. Chrissie stayed one step ahead of all of our questions - and always took the time to ensure we understood each facet of the transaction. I'll definitely recommend her to friends and family - and would gladly work with her again.

Chrissie knew the neighborhoods better than any other agent I met with. She really cared that I found the best fit for my lifestyle and budget. Chrissie communicated to the lender and took care of all the little things that I was unsure of. My sons and I have lived in our new home for over a year now, count us as happy clients.
