Shafran Realty Group - Carlsbad, California

Ted P.

We recently sold our Carlsbad home of 28 years with Brent Hansen and the team at Shafran Realty, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. We knew that selling our home would be challenging under the extant economic conditions and interviewed several real estate firms. We chose Shafran Realty due to their expertise with the Carlsbad neighborhood. It was clear from our first meeting that he was extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and that all the things we were worried about presented no problems. We started with a home inspection to turn up any problems a potential buyer might identify, and then proceeded to make cost-effective improvements. Their familiarity with local contractors made the process much simpler than we were expecting – I can’t even imagine trying to interview contractors for all the things that needed to be done. When this was completed, the house was expertly staged and the showings began. Brent took care of all negotiations, and within a short time our house was sold for full price. Throughout the process, Brent kept us informed as to what was happening, answered all our questions, and advised us as to the best strategies going forward. He also struck a good balance between letting us maintain control of the process while using his expertise to prevent us from doing anything crazy. It is clear that the team at Shafran (Brent, Brenna, Kyle, Dani) really function as a well-oiled machine, and that the large and intimidating task of selling our home was completely routine to them. We’re so grateful, and recommend them most enthusiastically. We would give them more than five stars if we could!

We had a fantastic experience using the Shafran Realty Group to help sell our home here in Carlsbad. Our realtor, Holly Christoforo, immediately recognized the value of our home, set the price right, and was able to quickly market it to interested buyers. The team did everything from helping to stage the house to taking beautiful photos to organizing limited showings (to keep us from having to leave our house often) and they successfully sold our house in less than 10 days! Their support through the escrow process was invaluable and their response time to our questions or concerns was immediate. They also have vetted repairmen and cleaners to support home sellers. We recommend this group highly to sell your home!

My husband and I had a great experience with Shafran Realty Group. Our realtor Priscilla Fonyat was exceptional during this process, it was our 1st time buying a home in the US and she was very helpful. We had a lot of asks and she was able to find us the perfect house. Thanks Priscilla and team for such a great support.

Alan and his team could not have done a better job representing my aging parents in the sale of their Del Mar home. Leaving their home of 30 years was an emotional task, but Alan led them through the process deftly and thoughtfully, assuaging all of their fears and concerns. When it came time to negotiate, he was a tireless advocate for their interests. He knew exactly when to stand firm and when to push back…hard. In the end, he secured a record price per square foot on their home, allowing them to move into a retirement facility that they are currently loving. Less than a month after my parents’ sale, the house two doors down with the same view and same square footage, sold for well over $1.2m LESS! They should’ve hired Shafran. 🤷‍♂️

I want to give a shoutout to our realtor Priscilla Fonyat at Shafran Realty Group. She was incredible to work with and made the process of buying our home so easy. Her expertise and support helped us tremendously and we would recommend her and her team to anyone looking for a new home. Thank you Priscilla and the Shafran Realty Group!

We were so fortunate to work with Holly Christoforo of Shafran Realty in the purchase of our dream home in Carlsbad! She was incredibly knowledgeable, hard working, honest, and generous with her time. We were moving from out of state and didn’t know the area at all. Holly showed us the ins and outs of Carlsbad, not just homes and neighborhoods but also restaurants and furniture stores!
What normally would be a stressful process was a seamless and enjoyable one because we were in Holly’s good hands! We would highly recommend Holly and her team to anyone looking to buy a home or sell their home!!

We love our new home! Our agent Vince & the Shafran team made the home buying process smooth and easy. Highly recommend!

Vince catered to our needs and was in our corner for the whole process. Educating us on our options and making and there for any of our questions.

They are true experts in their field, couldn't imagine doing this without them.

My experience with the Shafran Realty Group, specifically with Holly Christoforo, has been phenomenal. Holly took the time to get to know me, and my wife, and do what was right for us in our unique situation.

After looking at several properties we found the right fit and although it took time, and life had many challenges for us, she stayed with us and gave us expert guidance along the way.

The experience, industry knowledge and personal touch was very reassuring during our home purchase and I will gladly use their service again in the future.
