Carter Sweet

Very responsive agent! He helped me with the short sale transaction in which my
previous agent made a mass, thank you for your assistance, my short sale transaction
went smoothly.

We researched and even talked to a couple agents before finding Carter, and we're very glad we did. He is very experienced in and knowledgeable about short sales, and was able to explain the process and answer questions in a very clear and concise manner. He made a deliberate decision years ago to specialize in short sales, and that made him stand out from the others who didn't seem to understand the complexities and differences with short sales.

Carter came across as a partner and consultant in the process, and was never sales-y, pushy, or vague. Other critical factors that made us comfortable working with him was his high success rate, his understanding of how the banks operate and what they're looking for, and his ability to answer often confusing questions concerning liability and applicable California laws.

The process took a little longer than hoped for, but was still in the time frame of what he said we could expect. Even when giving the banks everything they need their response can be slow, but he relayed this to us and managed our expectations really well by giving us a best case scenario without overselling it, as well as slower scenarios and their likelihood. Carter kept following up so that nothing from our side would slow down the process, maintained good communication, and called us back promptly when we had a question or wanted an additional update.

The end result was a smooth and successful sale. Even after doing a lot of online research about short sales, we still had a lot of concerns and questions in the beginning, but Carter was able to address everything and we're thrilled with the process and result. We highly recommend Carter Sweet as a specialist for short sales.

Carter Sweet recently helped me with the purchase of my first home. I was looking to land a good deal in the down market and Carter came highly recommended as a short sale expert. I am so thankful and satisfied that I had Carter represent me for this endeavor.

First let me say making a purchase in this market is NOT easy and having the right tools and experience is key in making a purchase come to fruition. Carter knew all the right moves to make at what appeared to be the perfect times to either get our offers accepted or even looked at (which is difficult within itself unless you are paying all cash!). The current market is a hard one to navigate and I thought I was a self-taught expert from trolling the internet, boy was I wrong. I purchased with an FHA loan, had a low down payment and was only looking at only short sales. On the surface it seemed like a no brainer, but once we starting making real offers I learned quickly what I was up against. One of the hardest things to do was to make an educated offer that is appealing to both parties and ultimately gets accepted by the bank. Carter was spot on with all the offers we made (based on comp sheets etc.), which gave me the ability to not just jump into whichever house accepted my offer, but instead choose the perfect house for my family from the several offers we made. This is rare and had it not been for Carter I probably would have just settled for a house I liked not loved.

Carter was articulate, compassionate and most of all understanding. He walked me through almost every process from start to finish and put in more than his share of time just educating me about the different steps. He is excellent at what he does and all of my future purchases will be done with his assistance.

Thank you Carter!!!

Carter is such a professional, more than 5 stars! He assisted my husband and I with the sale of our condo and the process was effortless! What we appreciated most was he was calm, efficient, thorough and very easy to communicate with. He works with a sense of urgency and he always made our phone call or email a high priority. We also appreciated the pace at which he closed the deal and his style of keeping us up to date on every step of the process. Carter is just awesome and we highly recommend his real estate expertise!!!

Carter was very professional with all my dealings with him regarding the short sale of my home. He was very responsive via email, phone and text. His up to date knowledge, experience and technology used made my experience in short selling my home not as cumbersome process as I had thought. I never once had to meet with him in person to complete my short sale as everyhting was done on-line or over the phone which was great because of my busy schedule. I definitely recommend him to anyone interested in a short sale.

Excellent Realtor. We had a complicated home sale situation in Albany, California. Our escrow closing probably would not have been successful without the knowledge and experience of Carter Sweet. We would highly recommend him to anyone.
