Find Your Dream Home With Me

carolinerander_sandiegorealtor What do you do when your landlord calls and says, “I’m selling, do you want to buy it?” 🏡 That’s exactly what happened to my clients. They were renting this beautiful home when that unexpected call came in. Unsure of what to do, they called me immediately, and by that afternoon, I had lined up similar homes to go see in the same price range so they could weigh their options. We talked about emotions and numbers. They loved the home but we also looked at the comps, analyzed the data, and made sure it truly made sense. They slept on it and woke up knowing they wanted the home. So we negotiated a price below what the seller originally wanted, backed by strategy, fairness, and market data! 🙌🏻 We made it a super smooth escrow and now they get to wake up every day in a home they already loved, and now it’s theirs! 🔑 I’m so happy they called me. Having the right guide can change everything! 💖 📩 Thinking about making a move? Let’s talk through your options judgment-free and totally tailored to you. #sandiegorealestate #baypark #bayho #renttoown #yoursandiegorealtor #homeownershipjourney #clientsuccess #realestatewithheart #awardwinningrealtor

carolinerander_sandiegorealtor Izzy unveiled her newest routine at the West Coast competition in Anaheim. I know I’m biased…but gosh she blows me away and makes my heart swell. So grateful for her absolutely amazing and supportive Aerial coaches and teammates! 🫶🏻 @zy_marz @aerialrevolution

carolinerander_sandiegorealtor Did you say Zinsco panel!? 🤪 Well if the home you’re purchasing has this kind of electrical panel, which we do still find often in San Diego, you may be facing yet another little challenge when securing your new homeowners insurance due to perceived fire risks 🔥 and you will want to be prepared! #homebuyertip #sandiegohomebuying #californiainsurance #homeownersinsurance #electricalpanel #zinsco #sandiegorealtor #instarealtor

carolinerander_sandiegorealtor A week ago, the girls and I went for our very first run together! It was lovely but a little tough for Zoe, who doesn’t have much running experience. After a mile her legs started cramping and she kept saying it was hard, so we capped it at 2 miles and just enjoyed being together in this new way. Today, we set out again, this time with the goal of hitting 5K. At 2 miles she started to fade, so I told her to let her body take over and quiet her doubts. We noticed the nature around us, talked about everything and nothing… and before we knew it, we’d passed 5K! Her first time ever and Izzy ran even longer which was a first for her as well 🥳🙌🏻 I could tell they were so proud, even if they don’t always say it out loud. There’s nothing like seeing your kids do what they thought they couldn’t. Aiming for a 10K challenge soon 🤫☺️

carolinerander_sandiegorealtor 🏡💖 Sold with lots of love, and I won’t lie, this one wasn’t easy! Selling condos in San Diego is becoming more and more involved with the balcony laws in full effect this year, scrutiny around insurance, and just a market that isn’t in favor of sellers the way we’ve seen in the past. Still, it all worked out perfectly with a new buyer who is very excited about making this place their own, and my seller who can finally move on with the next chapter of her life thanks to her goals being met through this process! Always so grateful for the trust and here for you as well🤍 #sandiegorealtor #awardwinningrealestate #soldwithlove #justsold #realtorofinstagram

carolinerander_sandiegorealtor 🎃 Carnival with the cutest dark bride 🧡

carolinerander_sandiegorealtor 👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏻👧🏻 This is the story of a beautiful family of three - two dedicated doctors and their sweet baby daughter - who decided it was time to stop renting and start building wealth through homeownership 🏡✨ From day one, we approached this journey with purpose and heart. Here’s how it all came together: 🦋 We toured strategically, getting clear on wants vs. needs within budget 🦋 They fell in love with the home on the street they wanted in the Mount Streets of Clairemont (!!) 🦋 It had everything:  – 4 bedrooms  – Generous square footage  – A dreamy backyard + privacy  – Close to everything + an award-winning school We went in strong against multiple offers, countered smart, and having good rapport with the listing agent probably helped ☺️ Our due diligence was laser-focused and efficient; no wasted steps, just smart moves resulting in a smooth, joyful close and a family now calling this house home 🏠💕 Welcome home, R, N, & little M.D.! I’m beyond honored to have been a part of this chapter. Helping kind-hearted people and busy professionals is truly one of my favorite parts of this work. 🙌 #homesweethome #newhomeowners #sandiegohome #sandiegorealtor #realtorsofinstagram🏠 #sandiegodoctors

carolinerander_sandiegorealtor ‼️I get this so often!! The house has been on the market for a while, is something wrong with it? I can tell you that almost every single time, there is actually nothing wrong with it and you may be passing up a great opportunity because of a skewed perception! #tidbittuesdaywithcaroline #sandiegorealtor #sandiegohomebuyers #homebuyingtips #homebuying101 #homebuyertips #sandiegorealestate

carolinerander_sandiegorealtor We hiked 12.8 miles in the Mount Laguna area and it went by so fast!

Share them with me! #hiking #sandiegohiking #sandiegohikes #hikinginsandiego #sandiegocounty #naturelover

carolinerander_sandiegorealtor I gifted myself a few days in Idyllwild for my birthday and it was just perfect! Clean alpine air, quiet hikes, and time to just be. Grateful we can go from ocean to mountain in two hours, one of the many blessings of calling San Diego home 🏡 Hiking for hours in the mountains made me feel grounded, and happy as a clam. Will definitely be going back! ☺️🏔️ Special thanks to @alpacacoffeeandtea for fueling me with their delicious homemade Lavender Honey latte! ☕️
