Testimonials

In early 2005 my wife and I had decided we wanted a new home. Carey showed us a property, near our church and school, that was being developed, and our " dream home " began to materialize. Carey helped us through the process of selecting the lot we wanted and choosing the model most suitable to our family's needs. Carey's advice and insight really helped. We love our new home! After selecting our home and homesite, we had to sell our existing home in Orlando. Our new home was to be completed in mid 2007,so timing was important. Carey's advice was right on. Unfortunately, new home sales were sluggish in early 2006; but Carey reassured us and we let her "market " our house...and she really did! The " virtual tour " she set up was impressive, and really made the most of the features we had to offer. We showed the house numerous times while other homes (for sale) in our neighborhood were not being shown. Carey advised us what was a realistic price and helped us with the negotiations. We sold our house for what we needed and, unbelievably, closed on our old house and new home the same day! Carey was at both closings and because of her preparation, there were no glitches. Both closings went smoothly. Carey's expertise was obvious. I am a swimming pool contractor and have been working with home builders in Central Florida since the mid 80's. I have been involved with a lot of real estate agents and transactions. Carey is a professional. She really cares. She has realistic expectations with a lot of enthusiasm and she delivers. My wife, daughter and I are so very grateful for all her efforts. Today we live in our dream home (with a really nice swimming pool :-) and Carey Light made it happen. Carey, you are THE BEST!!!! -David Center

Moving to a new state, away from family and friends was stressful enough, without having to worry about who would help us find our new home. We were referred to Carey by our daughter's dance instructor, and from the moment we met and discussed our needs we knew we had made the right decision. Carey listened carefully not only to our needs, but also our wants, and saved us so much time by taking this information and using it to screen properties in the areas we were interested in. We were so impressed that she stayed within the price range we requested, which resulted in our developing a special, unique level of trust in our agent-client relationship. As we have moved frequently throughout the United States, we have had several experiences with real estate agents, and won't hesitate to offer that the integrity and character we experienced while working with Carey is second to none. She made a stressful time in our lives enjoyable. We found a beautiful home that we love, and best of all, we now consider Carey to be a good friend, and wouldn't hesitate to invite anyone we know to experience her personalized brand of service. -Elaine and Randy Thomason

Carey is as genuine and caring business person I have met. She put up with a great deal from me and smiled the whole time. It was a complete pleasure to do business with her, and a distinct pleasure to have her as my new neighbor. -Sincerely Marcus McCrary

Carey was an absolute pleasure to work with in finding our dream home. I never once felt like she was a "realtor" and just pushing for a sale. She's a very caring lady! Thank you, Carey!

-Bruce Zimmerman

My wife and I sold our Orlando home in the midst of a very difficult market in the summer of 2008. Besides doing an excellent job marketing our home in a difficult market, Carey also did a great job navigating the challenging waters of difficult, confusing, and strained communications with the buyer. We highly recommend Carey and her services.

-Chip Scivicque

Carey Light did an amazing job in the sale of our home. She was very professional and knowledgeable about our area. Carey walked through the process with us to help us determine the right asking price for our community. Carey provided invaluable input to have our home in the condition right for the market. She had several professional resources available to make our home stand out from the others in our market. She was always available to answer questions and support us as we planned a move across the country. We know that her hard work and dedication to her clients were major factors in our home selling in just a week! We highly recommend Carey to anyone needing a dedicated ethical realtor.
