Marketing

Both Keith and I want to thank all of you again for your thoughtful guidance, experienced insights, overall efficiency, senses of humor, and friendship during this 6-month process. We could not have asked for more! We learned so much from you about the area we will now call home, and you were a calming and pragmatic influence when we were moving toward panic (more than once, as I recall!). We look forward to being able to share this coming transition period with you and soon be able to share our new home with you as well. And we hope we will have many opportunities to recommend the Caruso team to others over the coming months and years. Can’t t...

The Caruso Group was incredible. They went well beyond our expectations to get the job done. They knew that for us to get top dollar for our Laguna Beach home we needed to update and refresh the interior. They hired the professionals and consulted a major 4 month remodel, then hired a fantastic stager and marketed our home in every outlet. Our home is sold with multiple offers! Since then, we have bought and sold two more homes with the Caruso Group. We will be clients forever, but more importantly, lifelong friends!

The consummate professional Michael Caruso is hands down the best real estate professional that I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. His keen eye for design helped me get my property ready for sale. His superior market knowledge helped set the correct price for my home and his innovative marketing strategy bought a plethora of qualified buyers to our doorstep. Michael and his team kept me extremely well informed of their progress throughout the process and were unwavering in their diligent efforts to sell my home. That passion and dedication led to my home being sold for a price that I was very happy with. Michael is a consummate pro and an e...

Caruso Team gets it sold quickly for state sellers through working with Michael Caruso and his exceptional team over the years, I have bought and sold a number of residential properties in Orange County. Michael’s long experience in real estate gives him a distinct edge in negotiations having represented me as both a buyer and a seller. When it has appeared that deals were beginning to unwind on the opposite side of the table, Michael knows how to keep the negotiations going with a positive outcome for me. I’ve seen Michael go to areas of negotiation that I certainly never thought of and that comes with deep real estate experience.

Exceptional results from exceptional Realtor®. We decided to list our house in Big Canyon and planned to interview Realtors® to see which firm could best represent our interests. We looked no further after our initial meeting with Michael and Phillip Caruso. Our comments about their performance apply not only from the initial interview but through the entire listing and selling process to the closing. They arrived for the interview with documentation filed with the city, on the remodel and upgrades we had made to the property since our purchase. They had done their homework and were able to establish a lasting value.

We have purchased or sold 5 properties with the Caruso Team and they consistently go out of their way to make each transaction perfect. Every detail is managed meticulously and our properties are marketed aggressively. As an out-of-town client, they regularly take on numerous extra responsibilities to support us, and always with a smile. Trustworthy, honest, professional, knowledgeable, and willing to work hard day or night to buy low and sell high. My highest regard goes out to this hard-working team of professionals!

Don’t ever buy a home without Michael. He is an absolute pro and knows how to get his clients what they want. Our dream home came on the market the day before California’s shelter in place orders, but Michael figured out how to get us our house in less than 45 days. With so much uncertainty in the market, it’s important to have a seasoned agent who can take all the hassle out of home buying and serve as your advocate. We would never ever ever go anywhere else. Thank you! We are over the moon in our new home.

Perfect experience Phil and Michael work harder than any real estate group we’ve ever been associated with. Their tireless marketing of our home was first class in every way. We felt like our home was their top priority. They have so many connections in the area and worked to find the right buyer who would appreciate the major work we had put into renovating our family home of 25 years. They succeeded in 5 short weeks to bring us a beautiful family and a full-price offer. Thank you Carusos!

MC, you are a legend! I don’t see a scenario where someone could have represented our interest better than Michael did. As a first-time home buyer, Michael educated us every step of the way and truly treated our purchase as if it was his own. He was always one step ahead of everyone else and helped us secure our home at a price below asking. MC, we are incredibly grateful for everything you did to ensure we had the best possible experience and get the home we wanted!

Michael and his team did an amazing job, we felt like family! Michael and Phillip are definitely the “A-team” of real estate agents! From the negotiation, overcoming obstacles, referrals, even sourcing contractors and movers to make our move simple, they did it all. I would trust Michael and Phillip with any buy or sell transaction, they certainly understand how to provide an excellent experience and performed well above expectation!

Exceptional service exceptional service. Michael and Philip are consummate professionals who have been a guiding force for our family in all matters of real estate for the past twenty-plus years. They are, without question, our true “go-to”, and consistently perform above our high expectations. Multiple generations have relied upon their market knowledge and negotiating acumen to deliver unparalleled results.

Michael and his team are outstanding with a “can do” attitude. They are very knowledgeable about the local market and after finding the house we wanted, had top-notch vendor contacts that we are still using. They embrace the electronic closing technology with minimal paper signing and suggested negotiating things in the purchase contract we would not have thought of. We highly recommend Michael and his team.

Exemplary professional outstanding service! Michael Caruso is an exemplary seasoned real estate professional who provides outstanding service from property search to close. Clients benefit greatly from his excellent depth of knowledge of the market, a vast network of contacts, and continual support during and post-transaction. I enthusiastically give Michael Caruso the highest recommendation.

Michael’s expertise in selling our house alleviated all of the stress. We worked together to develop a timeline, reviewed recent transactions, and created a smart go-to-market strategy. Now we can enjoy our new home, which Michael helped us purchase. We could not be happy with our overall transaction, buying and selling with Michael’s team!

A pro’s pro! When you need the best you need the right team, Michael Caruso and his entire team give you all the knowledge, exposure, wisdom, and experience you’ll ever need for one of the most important transactions in your life. I would never trust anyone else! A true professional, thoughtful, complete, caring, effective!

I have closed several transactions with Michael over the past 18 years and can honestly say that he is a true expert in Orange County real estate, especially in the Beach City corridor. He’s a professional negotiator and will assure that you get great value in buying or selling your home.

Decided to work with the Carusos after we weren’t getting results with other agents. Michael and his team blew us away with his real estate knowledge and overall experience to get us our house! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a real deal agent.

Great transaction Michael and Phil were phenomenal! They went over and above every step of the way, making me feel like I was the only client they were working with. I would highly recommend Michael and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Michael has represented me 3 times in the past 14 years. He is a true professional with the knowledge and experience to get your transaction completed successfully. Don’t hesitate to give him a call if you want the best.

The Caruso Group was fantastic to work with. They were extremely knowledgeable about the marketplace and went above and beyond throughout the entire process – from start to finish.

I listed my home for 9 months with an area specialist with no results. I Re-listed with Michael and he sold my home in 7 days! I’m delighted.
