What Our Clients Think
Write a ReviewCarolina Grainger has been a such blessing to work with. We recently moved my FIL back up north. She worked with us to get his place cleaned out, staged and on the market. We tried our best to clean out the condo but we did have to leave some things. Carolina was very kind and just took care of everything! After the home was on the market for about 2 months 2 big hurricanes came through. She went to the property as soon as she was able to make sure everything was ok. We never had to go back to check on things. From checking his mail and forwarding it to contacting the pest control and homeowner’s insurance after settlement - she did it all! We really had nothing to worry about being 20 hours away. I was amazed at the amount of attention to every detail with such professionalism and grace. We wished she could have helped us up here!

WOW…Simply Extraordinary! My brother and I needed to sell our fathers home after his death…and neither of us live in Florida (making things a little more challenging). We were fortunate enough to meet Carolina Grainger, through a referral, and we were immediately impressed with her professionalism and experience! We partnered with Carolina to help us sell the home and she exceeded our every expectation.Carolina’s strengths are many but a few that stand out are her knowledge of the market, her creativity in listing, marketing and showing the property, her caring and genuine concern for the client, her availability and responsiveness and her willingness to go above and beyond! For example, there were a few post inspection repairs that needed to be done on the house. Carolina took it on herself to get bids from several contractors/companies for us, she scheduled the work, met the workers and made sure the job was done completely and satisfactorily!As I said, Carolina exceeded our expectations during the sale process, and I wholeheartedly recommend Carolina. Not only did we sell the house, but we also made a friend! Carolina is amazing!

Carolina Grainger of Sunrise Home Group is an exceptionally skilled real estate agent. Both my husband and I can vouch for her outstanding work. Our relationship with Carolina spans over a decade, during which her professionalism, honesty, and expertise have consistently impressed us. When my husband and I made the decision to sell our house in Sarasota County, there was no doubt in our minds who to turn to - Carolina Grainger. Our past experiences with Carolina have given us complete trust in her ability to provide us with the best advice and to make the sale of our property as profitable and seamless as possible. Carolina excels in communication. When I called Carolina to tell her about our decision to sell and look for advice on how to proceed, she immediately asked clarifying questions about our motives, started planning to gather pertinent information and made arrangements to meet with us. My husband and I met with Carolina several times after this initial phone call. At each meeting, Carolina was fully prepared with the information and knowledge needed to move on to the next step in the process. She demonstrated an extensive understanding of the latest property values, not only in our area, but also in its vicinity. In addition to in-person meetings, Carolina maintained regular communication through emails, texts, and phone calls to convey crucial updates effectively. Although Carolina’s office is based in Pinellas County, she was always willing to travel and do whatever it took to make the process easier for us. We were impressed with the speed at which Carolina could get the sale in motion. At our initial meeting, Carolina gave us an estimate of the value of our property based on her research of comparables in the area. My husband and I were genuinely surprised (and delighted). Our asking price ended up being much higher than we had anticipated. Following this meeting, Carolina visited our property, offering detailed guidance on preparing it for photos and viewings. In no time at all, our property was posted on MLS, hitting all of the top real estate websites, where Carolina could instantly get current data on activity regarding our property and give us feedback. Carolina’s skills in using technology to get our real estate information out to realtors and prospective buyers was very impressive. In addition, Carolina promptly set up dates for Open Houses and showings. She did an incredible job of getting the word out. Carolina has a creative flair for finding ways to generate interest in a property. She knows the importance of seeking out potential buyers, local realtors, and even neighbors to attend an open house. In many cases, the attendees lead to more interested buyers. As it turns out, it was the combination of these maneuvers, website advertising and open houses, that led to the sale of our property. Our house was under contract after being on the market for less than six weeks.If you are seriously interested in buying or selling a property, Carolina Grainger is the Real Estate Agent for you! My husband and I highly recommend her as the most honest, hard working realtor you could find. We were beyond thrilled to have Carolina as our Real Estate Agent and will definitely plan on contacting her as we move forward with future real estate ventures.

Carolina is the most caring, thorough, tenacious, and knowledgeable real estate professional out there. She was able to put my home under contract within 16 hours of hitting the market with an offer over asking. The experience was flawless and she always kept us in the know. Over the moon with our experience.

Carolina recently helped my husband and I sell out first home in St. Pete and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her.From our first meeting, we were very impressed with her knowledge, experience, and marketing package. She worked with a talented team of stagers and photographers to make our house looks its best while charging a standard fee. Carolina also provided a personal experience, listening to our desires and concerns. She thoroughly explained every step of the process so that we could make the best decision for us, from preparing our house for sale to responding to buyer repair requests. She was very responsive, whether communicating by phone, text, or email. Carolina acted as a trusted advisor and we would work with her again without hesitation!

Carolina is absolutely fantastic. Her versatile knowledge in real-estate and banking is the perfect combination for anyone that is looking for an exceptional realtor. She just helped me with selling my family home after 32 years and I must say her knowledge, tenacity, and finesse made the experience grand. We had many challenges and emotions involved with this sale, that would have been very difficult for me, had it not been for her kindness, compassion and incredible devotion to me, her client, and her professional career as a realtor. In search for a realtor? Look no further....Carolina is the greatest!

Carolina was the most amazing partner for my husband and me in our relocation from Connecticut to St. Pete. She worked with us on the ground and virtually, helping us in every possible way to navigate a very challenging market (for buyers!). She always had time for us, never made us feel anything less than truly special , and when we found the house we loved she helped ensure we were successful bidders. In addition to being the most professional, knowledgeable, and ethical realtor we have ever worked with, she is a delightful person who, it is clear, is mission driven to deliver the best results for her clients. We cannot recommend her more highly.

We have used Carolina for a long-distance home purchase and most recently a home sale. She has set the bar for realtors and the home buying/selling process from here on out. Not only did she find us a perfect home, but when life changed and we were ready to sell that home, she had our home staged and sold within TWO DAYS of being on the market... with multiple offers to choose from. She has gone above and beyond for us and her knowledge of the process, the industry, etc. is top-notch. We recommend Carolina for EVERYONE looking for a realtor.

Are you considering putting a house on the market? Perhaps you are looking for your dream home. Stop your search, dismiss your hesitation, and contact Carolina Grainger; a seemingly daunting endeavor will become a seamless, enjoyable, and educational experience. What I enjoyed most was Carolina’s knowledge of real estate, her innovative ideas, her commitment to clients, her organizational skills, and her desire to ensure that clients understand every part of the process. Carolina was highly knowledgeable about Pinellas County. She responded promptly to any questions or concerns. The entire process was so easy and stress-free. I felt like something was missing at times because it was so seamless. She took care of everything but consulted with me every step of the way. There was not a single glitch in my selling process.Carolina takes the time to develop and grow relationships by getting to know them, communicating effectively, and being open and honest. Her suggestions and ideas were always expressed to me and approved before they were implemented. Carolina is inclusive. She has experience working with the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. She uses subtitles on videos and ensures equal access for her clients. I would 100% recommend Carolina to anyone looking to buy or sell. I will never recommend or use another realtor again – she has earned my and my family’s trust. I am a huge advocate for supporting strong women in business. Connect with Carolina, and you will have a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and kind realtor to help you make one of life’s most significant decisions!

If I had to sum it up in a word, for Carolina, I would choose PHENOMENAL. Carolina went above and beyond at every point to provide all information she had and make recommendations based on her experience. All communication was timely and thorough and informed by research she did, whether it be researching the potential buyers’ lender to current market trends.She has selected a set of professionals to provide recommendations and work with her to get optimal results. From landscaping to seller requested repair, I was nothing but impressed at the level of service. She even handles working with them when I was unable to be there with them.Not only did she craft an excellent MLS listing, she created a website so she could direct traffic there to focus on my listing as well as identify potential buyers, get traffic statistics and follow up if needed.The smoothest selling experience I think I could have had and I am so grateful.

Carolina was such a pleasure to work with! She went above and beyond for us in our home buying transaction, and made the process smooth and enjoyable.

We interviewed a number of agents, all with great experience but Carolina was our number one choice, and we couldn't be happier with the result. She was a delight to work with, keeping us updated at every step of the process. As foreign buyers, we were new to the real estate process in Florida, but Carolina helped us to navigate these issues in record time. Her recommendations and the team she led for all of our needs was stellar. She exceeded our expectations. Many thanks Carolina for all you did to get us a great result!

From day one Carolina made me feel trust. I have followed her for many years and I knew that when I was ready to purchase my house, she would be my Realtor. My first language is Spanish so for me it is really important to have better communication in Spanish. Carolina's high work ethic and experience in the market gave me the opportunity to have the best deal without overpaying for the property because the market is super hot right now! During the process, Carolina was there for me, was there to answer all my questions and always find the best solution to any problems. I'm grateful with her for helping me to find my SWEET HOME!

Carolina Grainger is spectacular! She guided my sister and me through the process of selling our deceased father's home in Florida, while we both resided in Texas. She was able to assist with the listing, pricing to sell, marketing and staging the home, all while we were in Texas. She did all the leg-work. And she had the additional challenge of working with other agents to show the home in a gated 55+ retirement community. The level of effort and coordination was orders of magnitude above any standard home listing/selling process. So, that was fantastic for us, and lent a spirit of assuredness for us. Trust is paramount with us and Carolina earned our trust with every interaction.More than this, Carolina communicated with us regularly. Not only did we received weekly updates from her on the home, and the number of showings... she also would check in with us personally, and was available to have video calls with us whenever it was warranted. All of this while she was attending to her newborn at home. She never missed a beat with us. My sister and I both highly recommend Carolina Grainger for any real estate processes you may have.Five-Star service for sure.Kind regards,Ken Ogden

Carolina's hands-on approach, and ability to take all of our needs for a home with her knowledge of the housing market and develop a strategy, for finding our forever home, made her the perfect person for the job! We will always be grateful to have worked with Carolina, Sunrise Home Group, and will recommend her to everyone looking for a home in the area.

Carolina was outstanding! The best I have ever worked with - 7 homes sold in my life. A relative passed away in Florida and I was appointed as the Administrator for the estate. My wife and I live in Colorado so we had limited time to deal with the selling of the house. Carolina was referred to us and she immediately reached out to help - giving us her advice as what direction to take in selling this particular property. We set up a meeting in advance of our arrival in Florida and hit the ground running once we arrived. Thanks to Carolina's advice, we had the appraisal arranged along with the cleaning out of the property. We listed the property with her and she immediately had the professional photographer take the pictures and she placed the house on the market in just a few days! Her advice on pricing was spot on as she knew the property was ideal for an investor/flipper. Carolina, knowing the market and investors, knew this house would sell quickly due to location and price range which is what we wanted. Sold the house for cash after the first day of showing for more than asking! Carolina's communication skills throughout this process was outstanding and prompt as we were in a different state and time zone. At one point, I was working in a different Country. She kept me informed every step of the way, exceeded expectations and made this process easy! My only complaint is that she is not currently licensed in the State of Colorado as she would be our Real Estate Agent for my family and I when we are ready to sell! Highly recommend Carolina Grainger! Wow!

Carolina was such a pleasure to work with, she knew the area and everything about it. It will be a piece of cake now just moving. She took care of everything from lining up the utilities to getting me a handy man,

Carolina was the best. She handled everything and explained it all as we went. This was a complicated probate situation and without her expertise , not sure it would have been done. I highly recommend her.

Carolina is a consumate professional. She brought us through the buying and selling process effortlessly. She was able to calm nerves when needed. Her communication throughout our professional relationship was second to none. If we had a question, she had the answer.

Carolina is the most professional, kind-hearted, caring and amazing realtor I have ever worked with! In the short amount of time we came to know each other in this process, with her great listening skills and guidance, we checked every single box on my list in finding my FL home! BRAVO!From local knowledge of areas, to being an awesome negotiator (especially in this crazy market), to her kindness in being my counsel when times got stressful… I would give 1000 stars if I could.Not only is she a wonderful realtor who knows her stuff, and will work tirelessly for you, she continues to guide me after the sale. I feel like I have a new friend as well. Thank you Carolina for all you do, and for being the amazing person you are! Simply… the BEST!

From day one Carolina explained the entire process of our home sale. She was always attentive to our questions and concerns until the final sale, and she even followed up with us after the sale a few times to see how we were doing. She is friendly, professional, and down to earth and I will definitely recommend her to others.
