  • I can’t say enough good things about Capstone Realty.  We went with Capstone to buy our house and they exceeded our expectations on every aspect.  They found us exactly the house we wanted, did an exceptional job of negotiating with the seller, and got us the absolute lowest rate on our mortgage.  We were so glad Capstone was there to help us.

  • I needed a “true real estate professional”, a good friend referred me to Capstone, I can say now without hesitation that after 25 years as a licensed real estate and insurance professional it was the best referral I have ever received! I was involved in a very delicate and time sensitive 1031 tax deferred real estate exchange involving multi unit residential income property. Emily and her team helped us find an extensive amount of properties to view. She also did a financial analysis on each one, including cash flow projections, income and projected expense reports. She went beyond what I have seen any agent to do for me in the past in investigating the properties. Emily never “left our side” as it were, helping to create a smooth transaction. I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Emily and the capstone team to anyone new or experienced in real estate.

  • Emily at Capstone Realty has been an incredible agent for my husband and me.  We moved to Carlsbad from Woodstock, Il. four years ago and obviously the prices of homes here can be somewhat of a culture shock.  She was incredibly patient and determined to find us the home of our dreams getting the best deal possible.  I would use her and her team again for any future home purchases.  Her advice is valuable.

  • Capstone is great. We switched from another realtor who was more interested in closing any sale rather than taking time to find the best property/deal for us. Emily worked with us for a long time and was very patient. I also refinanced my mortgage with Capstone about a year ago and that went as smooth as silk. Thanks!

  • Capstone realty found us an investment property that we love!  We truly feel that they went out of their way to meet our exact needs.  We were continually impressed with the presentation and breakdown of the associated costs, potential income, and expected future costs down the road to fully prepare us for our investment. Thanks again Capstone Realty, we can’t wait to work with you again!

  • 5 star experience all the way with Captstone.  Super responsive to all of our questions and even though our loan was very complicated, they were optimistic and constructive and got it done when other big banks gave up.  Proactive, attentive and easy to work with. Love our new home and very satisfied with their superior service….. highly recommend!

  • We really appreciate all the Capstone team did throughout the process. We know they spent many hours on our behalf and are so grateful for their patience.  Their team was so responsive, knowledgeable, patient, savvy, and supportive through the whole thing and we were so happy with our experience. Everything went so smoothly and we felt very well taken care of. We truly appreciate it and will definitely be singing their praises to anyone we know in the market for a home and/or a loan.

  • Due to financial difficulties, my wife and I recently had to sell our home.  Emily at Capstone Realty had a buyer for us within a few weeks.  We were upside down nearly $200,000 with a bank that was trying to come after us for what we owed on our HELOC.  She was able to negotiate with the bank and the entire amount was forgiven.  I highly recommend Emily and Adam and Capstone Realty.

  • We cannot be happier with Capstone Realty! They were so helpful. They helped us to find the perfect house and within our budget.  They went way beyond their duties to help us out with our loan.  They kept us informed at all times.  They were so diligent, knowledgeable and worked so hard  to get us our home. They are honest people and dedicated professionals.  They are just AWESOME!  THANK YOU CAPSTONE REALTY!
