"All of the other reviewers are spot on. We were interested in purchasing a home in the city of La Verne and met Carl at a . He was patient, understanding, professional and humble. He promised he would sell our current home and get us into the we loved, and he did just that in record time! On top of that Carl exceeded our expectations and our 20K over asking price setting a new price/sqft record! He always made himself available via phone answered every call and spent time answering all questions we had regardless what time it was. In the end, we were able to purchase a fantastic home at a great price in La Verne Heights, complete with a view of the mountains. We wouldn't think of
using any other realtor, Carl is by far one of the top realtors in the US and look forward to working with him again." - joe

"Working with Carl and his team was a fantastic experience. We are normally skeptical about real estate professionals, who are often not very professional. Carl and his team are delightful exceptions to that experience.
We met Carl through the strong recommendation of a trusted friend. My wife was not very interested until she met Carl. One hour later she was convinced by his thorough marketing plan, candid perspective, and actual input into how we could maximize the value and achieve a quick sale. His experience shines through right here. If you are looking for an agent that will tell you what you may want to hear, he is not your guy. He knows what works and has an eye toward showcasing and appeal.
His team then came in - all I can say is wow. They spent time and energy helping make the most of our , staging beautifully, creating the marketing materials, pictures, videos, areal drone work and all the modern elements of premium home marketing.
All the preparation combined to kick off with a great - with dozens of buyers coming through on the first day and four offers as a result.
Carl and his team are true professionals who look out for the interests of their clients. He helped us as sellers save money numerous times throughout the process. In addition, he stepped up and assisted related agents, as well as helping the buyers through difficulties the encountered and worked hard to make sure the deal closed.
Bottom line: I Highly recommend contacting Carl if you are looking for a quality representation team."

"Carl's capabilities and experience were excellent from the first interaction to the last transaction. His responsiveness was amazing. His turnaround times on phones calls were always under 2-3 minutes and if not he would text back ASAP and advise why. Carl's knowledge on the markets he sells into is excellent. He knows what's occurring with the real estate market trends. One of Carl's biggest values is in the photo shoot layout of the property. He captures the value and brilliance of the home in the most optimum lighting. Secondly his team's staging of the home and set up for houses is absolutely stunning. He can literally transform the inside of the home to another level of interior design that brings increased value. Besides all this Carl loves his job and this genuine passion, interest and ongoing proactive dialogue continually keeps you updated with very good overall communication. I would proudly recommend Carl Capitano to anyone and we were thoroughly pleased with the sale of our La Verne home thru him. Thank you so much Carl, great work, well done! "

Carl, Light Years ahead of the competition, Constantly Raising the Bar. One of Carl’s core philosophy’s is “If you don’t constantly evolve your competition will”. Carl knew 30 years ago selling a home was much more than taking photos and MLS inputting. “If you really want to be truly great you have to do a lot of things GREAT. Not just a few”. One of the Secrets to Carl’s success is his Attention to Detail. Carl’s OCD and ADHD make his career choice On Point for the Perfectionist and Pickiest clients who want it all Done Yesterday. From the initial property walk, through tuning up and prepping, painting needs, home staging, twilight HD photography capturing perfect lighting, property descriptions, unique marketing, individualized websites, Cinematic TV Level Production Movie Tours, and Areal Drone Cinematography all happen for every property he lists. The words “it’s good enough” are NOT in Carl’s Vocabulary. It’s NEVER good enough for Carl!
Verging a Billion in closed Sales transactions, Carl is in demand by buyers, sellers, brokerages, and TV producers! Consistently ranking in the top 1% of Real Estate Agents in the U.S. it’s stats like this that have brought intrigued TV producers to his door. Featured on trending shows including, Selling L.A on HGTV, Listing Impossible on CNBC, and has recently started filming for another show ‘Coming Soon’ to your TV.
Selling What Others Can’t is one of Carl’s personal Claims to Fame. Recently featured on CNBC “Listing Impossible” Carl sells an Exclusive OC property previously listed with multiple Brokers and unsold. Carl sold for $11,000,000 with multiple offers in less than 1 week. When asked the secret to his success, he’s answered “This is a complex answer. It’s not just one thing we do, we do a lot of things different … Anyone can sell the easy ones, it’s the hard ones that prove your true ability”. Another recent affirmation to Carl’s unique ability was selling Ocean Ave Seal Beach. Previously marketed as a tear down property, Carl fronted $11,000.00 to reface the home to sell. Selling at $4,500,000 including the staging, after only 2 weeks on the market. When he asked the buyer “what are you going to change first” he was told “Nothing! It’s perfect As-Is!”
It all starts with a strategy meeting of analyzing the property and finding any weaknesses. Most buyers can’t visualize a home’s potential, subconsciously seeing negative issues without consciously knowing it. “We take away all of the negative issues before any buyer sees it.” Typically, if you ask a buyer what they thought of a property most would say “It’s nice or Okay”, not fully knowing why they are not compelled to write an offer. Carl transforms every listing through Interior design changes, color pallets, tune up & repairs and most importantly a complete transformation through his personally owned staging company. He has a keen eye for style and carefully analyzes the property utilizing the highest and best return, using little dollars for a huge return. He sees each home's unique structure and has a team that share his vision for your home with buyers. "Fixer uppers" or "tear downs" don't exist in his book. All are opportunities to help sellers net more than they could ever imagine. Carl never buys a fixer upper for himself, he feels that that is cheating the seller, he shows every seller how they can make little changes to make a large return. “I sleep very good at night knowing I did my very best.”
Being a Licensed General Contractor of 18 years gives Carl a huge advantage dealing with objections that arise in home inspections. Carl typically gets it done on his terms, making every transaction smooth and seamless for sellers. Combining this with his Passion for Magazine Quality Photography Composition puts Carl in a league of his own.
In 2019 the elite and International Compass Brokerage approached Carl to join their cadre of Select Agents. Carl embraced all that this Client-Focused and Innovative Company had to offer. Compass a company like no other that values people, innovation and technology. Their technology is like no other, the platform they use gives Carl and his team an advantage more then he could ever imagine. Programs like Compass Concierge help sellers maximize their home’s value by fronting the cost for needed home improvement services. No hidden fees, no interest charges, amazing marketing support and record low days on the market make Team Capitano + Compass a win-win for Carl's clients.
Consistently ranking in the TOP-100 US for over 10 years he recently placed #5 out of all US agents at an internationally recognized brokerage. Rewards and accolades are great, but not what drive Carl. “Helping people, doing the right thing, and netting my clients the most is what drives me”. Establishing lifelong friendships are important to Carl. Working from his heart; his reviews speak for themselves. Never looking at or chasing the dollars, he works from his heart to help each and every person he encounters. He works the same for any homes price as he would for the Highest-Level Luxury Estate. “Everyone gets treated equally all getting 110%”.
