My husband and I looked at several homes until we found the perfect one for us, and Caran was so patient with us throughout the process. She stayed on top of everything for us, and she made it so easy. Caran was such a blessing to us, and I would recommend her to anyone.

A breath of fresh air in the real estate business.

Working with Caran is like a breath of fresh air in the real estate business. Always responsive, so positive, returns calls in hours not days, never makes you feel rushed or pushes too hard. She found our perfect lake home and we found the perfect realtor.

Always accessible and responsive

Spring and summer of this year were probably the worst buyer's market in memory. Caran made the process as painless as possible and was always willing to schedule viewings of new houses on very short notice. She was always accessible and responsive, and worked closely with my wife and I, our loan officer and maintained open communications throughout the process.

She has a vast knowledge of the market

We enjoyed working with Caran. She has a vast knowledge of the market but shares it in a quiet comforting way that keeps you from feeling that she is trying to control the situation. This allows for a quality experience because she just let's you find your own way instead of pushing for a decision. She was the most responsive realtor that I have ever had as she was prompt on communication and extremely helpful in solving the minor hiccups that one encounters through both the negotiation and closing process. Perfect realtor for someone who knows what they are looking for and just needs help in finding their dream home.

we just love her to pieces

We are David and Lala Randle, and we recently sold our home which was listed with ERA King Real Estate, Caran Wilbanks. She has a high level of experience which shows in her guidance of the entire selling and buying experience. She is extremely detail oriented and helped us to prioritize what needed done, in order to put our house on the market at a great price. We listed our home based on Caran's recommendation. She responds pretty much immediately to important and not so important inquiries. In fact, we never had any idea how busy she is because she made us to feel as if we were her only clients. Caran is very honest and realistic which nowadays is a wonderful trait as too many people tell you only what you want to hear. Whether it was during the day or late at night, Caran was always very prompt in answering emails/calls/texts. Throughout the entire process we were super impressed with her professionalism. Overall, our experience working with Caran Wilbanks was Wonderful and we highly recommend her, in fact "we just love her to pieces"!

a big impression was her quick response to any calls or messages.

We were first impressed with Caran not as our agent as sellers, but as the buyers agent. The review that she wrote after a tour of our home was impressive, leading to the sale. So, with an undeveloped property that we had on the market for some time, we turned to Caran to list it. And she came thru once again. During the process one thing that made a big impression was her quick response to any calls or messages.

She truly cares about her clients.

Caran was great to work with. She goes above and beyond what is expected of a agent. She truly cares about her clients. I would definitely work with her again.

We appreciate her professionalism, and are pleased to recommend her to anyone who is in the market

It was a pleasure working with Caran on the recent sale of our home. We listed our house FSBO. Although Caran represented the buyer, she was very responsive to our requests. In what turned out to be a lengthy time period from the signing of the contract to closing, Caran kept us updated on the progression of the sale. We appreciate her professionalism, and are pleased to recommend her to anyone who is in the market to buy or sell a home.

I definitely recommend her service!

Caran Wilbanks was very professional and very interested in helping me sell my home. She listened closely to my concerns and she gave very good advice on ways to make my home more appealing. My home was sold within roughly a month of listing. I definitely recommend her service!

Caran is a good listener and worked hard to find the properties that met our specifications

It is my pleasure to write a great review for Caran Wilbanks. My husband and I have been looking at Logan Martin Lake property on and off for 10 years. Because of the advice of a mutual friend and through her website, we asked Caran to assist us to locate the perfect property. She was professional, responsive and detail oriented. She was the perfect fit for our personalities. Caran is a good listener and worked hard to find the properties that met our specifications. We asked her to revise the search criteria several times and she did so gladly and with positive results. She carefully stayed within our parameters and didn't push us to make decisions. She allowed us to move at our own pace and we are grateful. We happily recommend Caran Wilbanks if you are looking to relocate to Logan Martin Lake or surrounding areas.

She is warm and friendly and we will turn to her in the future.

Caran was a wonderful agent. We moved to the area from a different town and she made us feel right at home. We wanted a 2nd showing and she didn't bat an eyelash and met us on a weeknight. She is warm and friendly and we will turn to her in the future, should the need arise. I love that she was willing to work with us via text, email or phone call. Flexibility is her strong suit!

Many times she went beyond her job title to make the experience easier

I knew nothing about the process of selling property, so when I reached out to Caran for help she willingly rose to the challenge. She is a genuinely nice person, friendly and caring towards everyone in my family. Many times she went beyond her job title to make the experience easier for me. She treated me like a friend rather than a client. In addition to her strengths listed below, Caran possesses a enormous amount of patience. Although it took quite a while, she persevered to find the buyer who will enjoy our property as much as we did.

Caran always responded to my questions and concerns

Getting to know Caran, and dealing with her during the sale of our existing residence and purchasing our new home was a very smooth transition. Caran always responded to my questions and concerns with a very diligent and professional way. Thank s again to Caran for everything you did !! We will always refer Caran and ERA Kng when we can.

It was by far the smoothest and easiest buying experience we have had

Caran made our home buying experience wonderful and easy. She even picked my wife and I up at the Pell City airport while searching for properties in the Pell City area. At closing time, she drove us from the airport to the attorney's office and then took us to the offices to have our electrical, water and cable turned on before driving us back to the airport. She was constantly on top of everything and helping us with any questions or concerns. It was by far the smoothest and easiest buying experience we have had. Thank you Caran!

I would highly recommend her.

Caran found the perfect buyer and did it quickly. She sold my house in only 4 months. She also sold my house for the exact price I wanted. I would highly recommend her.

Extraordinary Service

Caran's service during our purchase process was extraordinary. She communicated very well and was on top of all the details. She rolled with punches from the seller agents and always had our best interest at heart. We will definitely use her services again. I would highly recommend her to both buyers and sellers. She is a true professional.

I would use Caran

After Caran looked at our house she insisted that the new buyers look at it and they loved it. I would use Caran again because she knows the area very well. Thanks Caran.

she made me feel very important

Ms. Caran Wilbanks is very professional and gave me her full attention. I signed my contract to sell my house for 1 year because I only wanted to work with her. She made helpful suggestions to help sell my house. In my opinion she made me feel very important. If I would have another chance to work with a realtor I would select her. Penny

Thanks Caran for going the extra mile

This is an agent that gets it done and makes the process as easy as it can be. My wife passed away and I needed to sell the house by another house and have an estate sale all in the month of August. Thanks Caran for going the extra mile to help me and even pushed the closing up before I left for Europe.

Working with Caran was amazing and refreshing

In our experience buying real estate can be a painful process depending on the team you choose to work with on your journey. Working with Caran was amazing and refreshing. We never had to track her down to ask questions, never felt like we were a burden to her, never had to worry about anything. She was driven from day one to make our new purchase happen as fast as possible. The whole process was seamless and pain free. I would highly recommend Caran to anyone who is in the real estate market.

She was always there to help assist

Caran went over and beyond for her clients on the foreclosure we worked on together. She was always there to help assist us in getting to the next milestone each time in order to close on time. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or list a home.

worked with me from 4 states away

Caran went above and beyond anything I could need or want. She showed me properties in 3 counties, miles and miles of driving, hours of her time spent finding me what I wanted, and worked with me from 4 states away to get me in a new home, in a new state, and a new time zone, and at a great price! I highly recommend her for her dedication and professionalism!

I live in Minnesota and had a house to sell in Cropwell. I checked out realtors and I selected Caran. I needed some one to handle all of the details and be my boots on the ground.

Caran has always been top notch

Excellent. Caran stayed in touch with me during my real estate transaction and provided prompt assistance when needed. I was able to get an offer on my property the next day after she had placed signs on the property that I was selling. We closed immediately after one counter offer and I was very pleased. Could not have asked for any better service. Caran has always been top notch with both of my dealings with her when selling property. That really means a lot.

She worked well with the other agent involved

Caran was extremely helpful and knowledgable in assisting me with my real estate purchase. She made my experience stress free. She worked well with the other agent involved and allowed me to visit the home that I was purchasing multiple time to assess furniture placement.

She is professional and is completely dedicated to her clients

Caran was a pleasure to work with through the entire process of building my house. She is professional and is completely dedicated to making her clients home buying experience a positive one.

the process was painless and easy.

Caran sold our home within a week to the first people that saw it. The price was great and the process was painless and easy. I highly recommend Caran to you.

Of course I called Caran.

I have used Caran twice in selling my house. The first time was ten years ago. I had used another agency (which did not work) and tried selling my house myself. That did not work too well either when someone suggested Caran. I called her and she showed my house a lot, and I sold it soon after that. So when I wanted to sell my other house, of course, I called Caran. She sold it within three months. I would always recommend her.

A++++ for sure!!

Caran is very professional and dedicated to what she can provide in customer satisfaction. She is always keeping you updated with changes in the market, looking for the best option for you and your needs and wants and never disappoints in her delivery. I couldn't have been more satisfied with my experience. She is just so delightful to work with and I look forward to keeping my relationship with her for years to come! A++++ for sure!!
