Dear Future Home Buyer,
 
To whom it may concern: We were very happy to work with Carol Wilson as
our Real Estate Agent. She took the time to answer our questions, she
returned every phone call or e-mail message we sent her.
 
We had to move shortly after our house was put on the market and we felt
comfortable leaving everything in her hands. She was trustworthy and
handled all the little difficulties that come up while selling a house
so we really didn't have to worry about a thing.
 
She did a great job selling our house quickly and working out a price
and offer that we were happy with. If we ever needed to buy or sell a
house in Ridgecrest again we would definitely call Carol!
 
Sincerely,
Rick & Kelly Haws
 

Dear Future Home Buyer,
 
To whom it may concern: I am happy to recommend Carol Wilson of Wilson & Associates for consideration regarding all of you real estate needs.
 
I had the pleasure of working with Carol during the entire course of my search for a home in Ridgecrest. She was organized, efficient, and willing to do whatever was needed to get a particular task finished.
Because there were often last-minute deadlines, her cooperative attitude and good cheer were important and appreciated by both my wife and I.
Although her primary duties were as my agent she time and again went the extra mile to make the sometimes wearying task of finding that perfect home that much easier to bear.
 
Carol Wilson deserves serious consideration when choosing your next real estate agent, and I recommend her highly.
 
 
Sincerely,

Carol Wilson of Wilson & Associates Realty, worked with us to buy our first home this past summer. She was truly a wonderful realtor that made purchasing our home less stressful. Carol was more than willing to help find the "right" home for us. She was very accommodating and worked with our schedules. She took the time to get to know us and had a very good idea of what we liked and didn't like. She is very helpful and very patient. Her expertise and knowledge has helped us greatly in buying our first home. She showed us what we needed to do and was with us every step of the way. She continues to be a resource that we go to for advice and information about being new homeowners. She goes the extra mile for her clients. We were very happy with Carol representing us.
 
Kim-Son Nguyen & Eric Laskey Respectfully,
 

Moving to the Ridgecrest area from Virginia was quite a challenge. In addition to moving household goods, my wife, Patricia, and I had to contend with changing jobs and lifestyles after the Navy relocated us across the country. With little information to start, we contacted Carol Wilson on a recommendation from a friend. From there, our experience took a positive turn.
 
We had only a week in Ridgecrest initially to scout the area and possibly find a home in a challenging market, after which, we had to return to Virginia to proceed with our move. Carol was professional and dedicated to us from the start. Her intimate knowledge of the local area and endless resources quickly showed as we began looking at our options.
She would take time from her personal schedule to ensure that our needs were catered to, as well as diligently researching all available opportunities. We looked at several houses and, fortunately, found one listed exclusively with Carol that suited our desires. By the end of the week we had decided to make an offer on the house, but had to leave the area to return to Virginia.
 
Upon leaving the area, Carol was even more involved and effective. The majority of our paperwork was accomplished through electronic means and was always timely and thorough. Carol continuously strove to keep us apprised of any changes that were affecting us as we made our way across country. She would assist with all tasks presented to her in a timely and efficient manner, from home inspections to seeing after required work. From the inital offer, all the way to closing, Carol was meticulous and forth right, never allowing the difficult situation to overwhelm us.
 
It was our pleasure to have Carol Wilson represent us during our move from Virginia to California. It made an otherwise difficult period, very easy, and has clearly made our choice for Real Estate Representation in the future.
 
 
Sincerely,

We strongly recommend Carol Wilson and Wilson and Associates as the best choice for a realtor here in Ridgecrest. Before we met Cart at an open house she was hosting, we had been in contact with three other realtors here. None of these realtors provided us with the expertise and outstanding service that we received from Carol. Her willingness to really listen to our housing needs and desires, sometimes having to be a bit of a mind reader about things we couldn’t really expresses, set her above those other realtors. Unlike there other realtors, we felt that she was really working for our business. She didn’t wait for us to scan the listings for houses we might be interest in, she discovered what we wanted and then continually updated us with what was available, often scheduling appointments after normal working hours to show us these homes.
 
Carol’s professionalism and expertise really shone through when it came time to make an offer on a home and during closing. When making the offer, her advice on what to offer and what demands to make on the seller proved to be golden. During the closing she prepared all the paperwork in advance and monitored the progress of the entire process.
She maintained contact with all those involved in the closing from inspectors, to the lender and escrow office, to make sure everything g was running smoothly and done schedule.
 
We cannot imagine a more hard-working, professional real estate agent than Carol Wilson. We hope you will choose to make your housing experience as enjoyable and successful ass ours was.
 
 
Sincerely,

Wilson & Associates from whom I purchased my house is an excellent real estate agent and I would highly recommend her to any person interested in the buying or selling of a home in the Ridgecrest area. Her ability to coordinate and negotiate between buyers and sellers needs was exemplary. My personal experience, which without Wilson & Associates a contract with the difficult seller over a four-month plus period probably would not have been signed.
 
Carol's knowledge of the real estate contract is exquisite. Her ability to hold the seller to meet the demands of the contract, which the seller had agreed, is admirable. I mention this because it could have cost the buyer (me) an additional $4000 in repairs for which the seller was responsible for and was trying to weasel out of, if it hadn't been for Carol's expertise. I would once again reiterate that Wilson & Associates is whom I would recommend to anyone purchasing or selling a house. I would be glad to talk to anyone seeking further information about my wonderful home buying experience.

I would like to express my extreme satisfaction with Carol Wilson’s performance as our real estate agent/broker. Carol went well above and beyond the call of duty to complete the transaction. She called various contractors for work, got estimates, got them started quickly, followed them up, kept our tenants informed, made helpful suggestions, and a multitude of other little things that made our rather complicated sale much easier on us. She knew the answers to almost all of our questions, and those that she had not run across before she researched and promptly got back to us. She was always reachable and on the rare occasions that we had to leave a message, she called us back very quickly. Her service was truly amazing. I cannot recommend her too highly!
 
 
Sincerely,
Bruce & Susan Borden
 
 

In October of 2003 Carol Wilson sold our home in record time (1 day)for ourfull asking price. The home was located in a less than desirable neighborhood as several of the homes in the neighborhood had become rundown and abandoned over the years or sold for well under the market value, which drove down our property value. This made it more difficult to sell our home even though we keep our yard and house in presentable condition. Carol suggested that we make a few minor improvements to the house (repainting the interior and replacing the carpet), which make it look great inside and we were able to get the higher asking price, which more than offset the improvement costs.
 
Carol was very helpful in taking care of the paperwork and communications with the sub-contractors doing the repairs to our house as at the time my Wife and I were living abroad in Vienna, Austria. This made it more difficult to take care of the paperwork but with Carol's help we were able to get the house through escrow and the various inspections without any trouble and closed on time.
 
I would highly recommend Carol as either a listing or selling agent.
 
 
Sincerely,

Our real estate experiences with Carol Wilson are summarized by two words: top-quality. Beginning in late 2005, we were searching the Indian Wells Valley for an upgrade to our starter home, and were referred to Carol by many of her past clients. We were delighted by her professionalism and extensive knowledge of the local housing market. This was in stark contrast to our past experiences with other realtors in the area, which were less than favorable. She never tried to push us into something we did not really want just to get a sale.

     However, in the middle of that search, our realty needs changed. We now required a fast sale of our Inyokern home to be able to leave the area for new jobs in northern California as soon as possible. Thanks to Carol’s well-placed advertisements and her accurate assessment of the proper asking price for our home, we were able to get a full-price offer within one week after placing our home on the market. This occurred during the recent buyers’ market in the valley, with 250-350 houses on the market at any given time. In addition, the 30-day escrow we requested was easily done (during the holiday season, to boot) thanks to Carol’s organization and attention to detail.

     We cannot say enough about the quality of real estate service you receive with Carol Wilson. We whole-heartedly recommend her as your agent for the sale of a home, or for searching for a new home in the Indian Wells Valley.

Sincerely,
Brad and Kara Lormand

To whom it may concern:

    We just sold our house at full asking price with the help of Wilson and Associates. I am so pleased and thankful for their help through this process because ours was not a simple case. My husband and I live in Germany, and our house was a rental that had been abused by the last tenants.

     The house had been under the care of a property manager, so when we saw the photos of the damage left by the renters, we were shocked. And since we were overseas, we felt a little helpless, but Carol and her crew took charge, keeping us informed through phone calls, faxes, photos and emails. They gathered repair estimates and oversaw the work until everything was beautiful again and ready for our Open House. And what an Open House it was! The sign went up, and we had buyers!

     We were ecstatic! But the story didn't end there. Our buyers, who had been preapproved, had problems with their lender and the deal looked like it would collapse. But Wilson and Associates held everything together, mediating gracefully between us and the buyers, ensuring that paperwork was filed correctly, and staying in close contact with the bank.

     Carol, Preston, and the entire office worked tirelessly, including weekends and evenings, to ensure that the deal went through. And now we've learned that despite the cooling real estate market, we were still able to secure the highest-ever price for a house of our square footage in that part of town.

     Be assured that if you put your largest financial asset, your home, in their hands, whether buying or selling, Wilson and Associates will guide you safely through the transaction, providing the individual service your situation requires.

 Sincerely,
U & J Schmiedel
