Testimonies from
Buyers & Sellers… Here
is what a few of Carol’s clients would like you to
know about her….
“Carol is an amazing real estate professional. She
guided us with her precise timeline of opening and closing
our deal. Our 4 transactions with her as our representative
have been flawless. Her integrity and work ethic are why
we choose Carol as our exclusive agent in pursuit of our
real estate dreams”.
Dave & Lisa Mireles, Kauai

“Carol has handled several transactions for us and
has always done an outstanding job. We recommend her wholeheartedly
and hope we will have a chance to work with her again in
the future.”
John & Barbara Frieberg, Washington

“Carol Andrews has been our real estate agent in
Kauai for the past 10 years. Not only is she professional
and efficient on all tasks, but she’s fun to work
with and makes you feel like family.”
Mike & Linda
Tresemer, Oregon

“When I wanted to look into the idea of buying a
house on Kauai, a local resident referred me to two real
estate agents. That person said both agents were good;
yet said one agent would always return phone calls and
promptly, while the other agent she recommended, was not
reliable this way. The agent who always returned phone
calls promptly was Carol Andrews. Carol not only did and
has always done this, a simple but rare thing in the world
of business and service, she went on to help make possible
a deal that led to the purchase of a home on Kaua'i in
2000 that has been one of the best things I have ever done.
I was in escrow during the stock market crash in 2000 and
she was patient, hung in there with me during a hairy decision
making time, and with this support I was able to go on
and close on the property. I do not think this transaction
would have happened for me if I hadn't had Carol Andrews
as my real estate agent. While there are many agents to
choose from these days, few have the qualities she has.
Many agents tout their service; few actually deliver on
their claim. Carol is one exception. She has always gone
miles above and beyond the call of duty in every area relative
to client service including all these years post-sale,
helping me to keep current on market conditions and analysis,
property manage, etc. I highly recommend Carol Andrews
as your professional, loyal real estate broker.”

“Carol has helped us with buying both a business
and our home. We feel lucky to have met her. She works
with great integrity, thoroughness, and speed, while being
friendly and fun. It all went extra smooth. This new Venture-Life-
has great meaning to our family and you made our dreams
happen!

“As Realtors we know what to look for when we choose
an agent to represent us in selling our own property. We
have high expectations and we recognize the tremendous
amount of work that goes into completing a transaction.
Carol has helped us buy and sell property. She has always
done a superb job. She has performed with skill, professionalism,
and patience. She is on top of every facet in the process
from communication to negotiation, her expertise shows.
We appreciate all of her guidance. We are happy to recommend
her services to anyone who wants to buy or sell. We love
working with Carol.”

“Carol spent a tremendous amount of time helping
us in our search for a house, a building site, and a condo.
She listened to our desires and did not waste our time
looking at inappropriate properties. Her research and preparation
is great. She provided assistance right through the closing
and long afterwards. She is an exceptional Realtor and
has become a good friend.”
Ron & Laura Burley,

“Carol was professional and diligent in helping
me buy my vacation house in Kauai. The Sellers were difficult
but with Carol’s help in removing contingencies we
finalized the deal.” Rodica Ranga, Walnut Creek,
Calif.

“Carol was wonderful to us when we arrived from
the mainland looking for a place to rent while we house
hunted. We were in our new home within six weeks of our
arrival. Everything went very smoothly thanks to Carol’s
attention to detail and her clients. She helped make this
huge move so much easier by answering questions without
making us feel out of place.” Steve & Marie Erlandson,
Princeville.
•••••••••••
“While on vacation we had 1 week to find our dream
home. We met Carol 2 days before we were to leave. Carol
found us 6 homes to look at in Kilauea. We put an offer
on 2 and flew home to Carlsbad, San Diego. Within 1 month
Carol had expertly helped us purchase the property and
we were new happy second home owners. Not only did Carol
help make a lifelong dream come true but she became our
new Hawaiian friend and with great enthusiasm we highly
recommend her services.”
Tom & Leslie Brenner

During our summer vacation of 1998, we met Carol and after
an initial conversation, she agreed to provide us with
residential Real Estate profiles and comparable prices
for the Princeville area.
Carol responded immediately by providing complete information
on a number of Princeville properties and escorted us through
several residences, in each case, explaining important
property features.
Although, at the time, we were only seeking information,
Carolled us to a residence we purchased and enjoyed for
approximately eight years. During our Kaua'i stay, she
also found the appropriate condominium we purchased and
leased for tax purposes.
When we returned to the mainland last year, we sold both
our primary residence and the condominium.
During the purchase and sale of both transactions, Carol
acted very professionally, carefully outlining everything
from escrow aspects to appropriate property managers and
maintenance subcontractors. Perhaps more importantly, Carol
outlined the aspects of island life and home ownership
so important to island newcomers. Carol demonstrated a
continual positive attitude and pleasant demeanor, so important
to feeling comfortable when purchasing a home. She was
often there beyond the call of duty to coordinate broker
walk throughs or parties interested in impromptu visits.
We appreciate the highly competent work Carol has delivered
resulting in the purchases, sales and profitability of
our Kaua'i residential investments, all delivered in a
comfortable style. We confidently recommend Carol in the
highest regard to our mainland friends that may have interests
in Kaua'i residential Real Estate.
Annah & Bill Mc Cluskey, Calif.

“Thanks for all your help with our purchase of the
property. We consider ourselves fortunate to have had you
as our agent. Your professionalism and availability makes
you an outstanding agent and it was a pleasure getting
to know you. We can’t thank you enough for everything
you did.”
Phil & Linda Green

We are very appreciative of Carol’s help in selling
our Lawai house last year so that we could move to the
mainland. Her knowledge of the market and her tireless
energy helped make it a very smooth experience. She kept
in constant communication as the escrow process unfolded
and kept the process on track even though complications
did arise. When all was said and done, we had a full price
offer within a week of listing which ended up closing as
scheduled and allowed us to easily put our attention on
getting into our new mainland home. If we are able to get
back to Kauai in the future we definitely would use Carol’s
services and certainly recommend that others receive her
expert help.

My wife and I had been visiting beautiful Kauai for years
and had always dreamed of owning our own home there.
In early 2004, with prices appreciating at a rapid pace
we realized we were probably already too late to buy in.
While we spoke with a few local brokers, it was Carol Andrews
who took time for us late one Sunday afternoon
and showed us what was still possible in our price range.
As we left for the mainland the next morning we held out
hope that perhaps we could still make this happen. Shortly
thereafter, we received a call from Carol, who hadn't forgotten
about us, letting us know of a special property that would
soon be coming on the market.
Well one thing led to the next and thanks to her persistence
and professionalism she guided us through the pitfalls
of trying to buy in a rapidly accelerating market until
we succeeded in securing the property and with it our dream
was realized.
Our entire family have enjoyed our new home on numerous
visits and we feel a debt of gratitude to Carol (who has
now become a friend as well) for making this happen. Without
her skills and market knowledge this opportunity of a lifetime
would have surely passed us by. Thanks again, Carol
With much appreciation
