Suchita & Dinesh

Our home in Carmel, California, just sold a few days ago. We were lucky to have been represented by the Canning Properties team and we are so glad that we made the decision to choose Nic Canning as our realtor. Nic, in addition to being there for showings, was always available to listen to any questions/concerns we had during this journey. He also clearly addressed everything that we brought up during a conversation. We felt free to call him at any time, and if he was at another meeting, we could expect an immediate call back. He advised us accurately on pricing, prepared a list of comparable homes in the area, made useful suggestions for marketing, and shared his knowledge of the million little things that need to be done to ensure a quick and successful sale. We trusted him completely to point us in the right direction. The process was illuminating for us, because initially our deep…

He advised us accurately on pricing, prepared a list of comparable homes in the area, made useful suggestions for marketing, and shared his knowledge of the million little things that need to be done to ensure a quick and successful sale. We trusted him completely to point us in the right direction. The process was illuminating for us, because initially our deep attachment for the home clouded our judgement. Nic patiently walked through all of it with us, and ensured we made practical and wise decisions. We never felt pressured in any way and the journey evolved naturally and gracefully. Thank you, Nic, for your kindness, professional expertise, and seeing us through the unfolding of it all. Dave and Seth Reese, who also participated in showing our home, were thorough and prompt in dealing with any of the issues that came up, and went beyond the call of duty. In addition, the photographer and videographers used by the Canning team were truly accomplished artists. We absolutely loved their engaging, mesmerizing video, and the beautiful , classy photos that showcased our home. We are truly thankful all for the hard work and expertise put into this process by the Canning Properties team..When I look back, I see that everything, under the guidance of Nic (and the one hundred percent support of Dave Reese, Seth Reese, Ellen Armstrong, Jessica Canning, Paige Colijin, Caroline Garcia, Kelly Savukinas and others behind the scenes) was accomplished quickly as the team worked as one seamless whole. They were always one step ahead of what was necessary and addressed any potential hurdles/issues even before we could think of them. We witnessed first hand, the simplicity and ease with which they all worked together and made the sale happen. All showings were carried out diligently, and always with one member of the team onsite. We felt safe inviting anyone into our home for showings, knowing it was on their watch. In addition, all documents were prepared by them, and eventually the sale of our home was completed flawlessly and smoothly. I can see clearly why Canning Properties is listed as the top performing realtor group in the area ..... honestly, that's why we chose them in the first place! We are so glad we made that decision.I have given them a Five star rating and would have loved to give them a Five star Plus if I could. Thank you!

Their long-time insider knowledge of this area is an invaluable asset when looking to buy or sell a property. Their negotiating skills come from a place of good solid business techniques backed up by extensive research so you are always ahead of the curve. Our needs were rather unique, and in a market that has been as challenging as this one has become over the last few years, that meant a lot of patience on the part of the entire Canning team, which they displayed with absolute perfection. I cannot recommend the entire Canning team highly enough. You will find yourself in the most capable of hands. Five Stars!!

Mark & Nancy

"We've bought and sold a lot of homes through various brokers over the years. Mike and his team are by far the best. We always felt he and his team had our best interests at heart and never pushed just to get the sale. Mike offered several very creative solutions to keep the sale going and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. We would hire Mike to represent us again and would refer him to any of our friends looking to buy or sell in Pebble Beach."

Canning Properties Group represented us as buyers when we bought our home in Otter Cove in Carmel Highlands, and were extremely knowledgeable, service minded and helpful in the process. We must have come down at least 5 times to spend most of a day looking at properties and each time they spent hours with us patiently showing us everything that was for sale, never rushing us or pushing us to do anything we were not comfortable with. Once we found the place we wanted to buy they were great in helping us negotiate a good (and fair) price, and invaluable when it came to guiding us though due diligence and helping us understand all aspects of the house we were buying. We have now owned our Carmel place for almost a year, and they are still there for us when we have problems or questions, going well beyond what you would expected anyone to do. We have not only found a great realtor I would b…

The Canning Group provided outstanding services related to the purchase of my home in Carmel. They worked with me and the buyer to resolve issues and were extremely conscientious in their follow up to ensure that open matters were completed. A very honest and hard working group and I highly recommend them if you are considering purchasing or selling a home in Carmel. They are really good at what they do.

Mike and his associates have represented us in two home purchases and one sale over the past 19 years. They are the only real estate firm we would consider using. They know this market better than anyone. We completely trust their judgment and expertise. I can't speak highly enough about the high level of professionalism they bring to their work. They are very honest and dependable

Fred & Lynn

The Canning Team conducted themselves in a very professional manner at all times. The individual team members were responsive in their responsibilities during the sale process and especially in the escrow closing period. Jessica and Natalie were amazing to work with and I would highly recommend the Canning Team to those looking to sell or buy a home in the Monterey County Area.

Buyer

We could not be happier with Nic and his team. Being that we are first time home owners, he went the extra mile to ensure that we were at ease and comfortable with every step of the process. Available at any time to answer questions and emails. Flexible with our availability and very knowledgeable about the market. A pleasure to work with, the team is outstanding.

The Canning Property Group consistently went above and beyond while exceeding expectations at every turn. From the first step to close, and even after, Canning Properties has been there for every question and concern. I can not recommend this group enough.
