“Abby brilliantly guided us through a complicated transaction and move from the Bay Area down to San Diego County. She knew every neighborhood, and could quickly tell a "clean" house from one that we should be cautious about (or run away from really, really fast!). Her judgement was spot on in every case. She found us a beautiful property and negotiated a terrific price. She was first to review documentation from the seller's side, and first to point out any challenges and fix them. The deal involved two separate but connected parcels of land so it was pretty tough to stay on top of the different aspects of the transaction, but she did. She was a clever and firm negotiator but also had a sense of integrity in terms of endorsing fair, reasonable compromises. She was incredibly easy to work with and constantly reached out to see how we were doing (and feeling!) while we navigated our way through the deal. If we had any questions her answers were instant and reliably smart. We can't recommend Abby highly enough.”

“Abby helped us buy a home in an extremely difficult seller's market. The process required creativity and perseverance in negotiating, and the ability to jump and run at a moment's notice. Abby had all of these dialed in and saw us through to the finish line. We were able to check almost all of our boxes and complete the transaction in the timeline we needed because of her efforts. Well done, Abby!”

“We moved to North county worked with Abby to find a home. She was incredibly helpful in helping us to learn the area and find a hope that perfectly matched our criteria. As it was a seller’s market when we were looking homes turned fast. Abby was completely on it and had new listings to us, sometimes before they were up on sites like Zillow. She was quick to arrange showings and several times we were first to see a property. She’s amazing, you’ll be happy if you work with her.”

“We finally decided to sell our beautiful coastal home with gorgeous ocean cap views in the prestigious Bay Collection in Carlsbad...Abby had contacted us previously but we were not ready to sell and we were not selling until we received the price that we wanted for our very special home!! Abby knows the market and is extremely professional and friendly! Abby had the professional photos and virtual walk through done quickly. She put our house online for sale on Thursday night and we got our first offer from Canada Friday morning without a physical walk through!! We had several prequalified appointments that weekend and received two more offers! We sold our home over the listing price within one week with a 30 day close for cash and 30 days rent free before moving !!! Abby found us a beautiful home in Valley Center, CA with gorgeous Mountain View’s with everything we wanted and closed within 30 days!!! Abby is AWESOME!!

“Abby is amazing. We sold AND bought our dream home in the middle of a pandemic and insane market, if that doesn't say enough...I don't know what else can test a realtor. Not only is Abby intelligent and trustworthy, she is detailed and responsive. I couldn't recommend her enough - we'll always be grateful she made what felt like the impossible happen for our family.”

“We are so happy that we had Abby Burtness to help us sell our home and get into our dream home! We had originally tried to sell our home to a friend without a realtor...big mistake! Once it was clear that the buyers we thought we had for our house were not going to come through we needed to get our house sold quick so we could purchase our dream home! Abby met with us and walked through our home to go over things that we needed to do to get our home market ready. Within days she had the photos taken and our house on the market. She walked us through every step of the way and we were in escrow in the first week at a higher price than we were expecting! It is because of her hard work, the way she marketed our property and her negation skills that we were able to get our house closed in time! She was not only our realtor but also an advisor and friend. I highly recommend Abby Burtness for all your real estate needs!”

-Wendy Walton

“Abby is a gem. Abby handled our recent home purchase in Carlsbad's Hanover Colony with aplomb, grace and street smarts. She found us exactly what we were looking for and negotiated on our behalf from the time we saw the house to the day we closed escrow. What most people don't necessarily know is that most deals crater unless a broker can keep everything on track. Our escrow was made more difficult because of a flood in the house. Yet, Abby made it happen. We decided that we wanted to take the house furnished. Abby explained to the sellers of the high cost to move furniture, the relatively low price received by consignment stores for the furniture and that the seller would only receive 50% of that low price. As such, we paid a great price for the entire contents of the house. I heartily recommend Abby Burtness.”
