Testimonials

I cannot thank Julie enough for her help in selling my home. This is the second time we’ve worked together, and I learned from our first go around, that she knows exactly what to do to get a home sold quickly and at a great price. Both homes she sold in less than a week on the market. Give her the freedom to work her magic and you’ll be one happy client. Julie has a crew that can assist in prepping your home, yard, junk removal, you name it. My home sold for $40,000 over the asking price! Julie is reliable, honest, and hard working, plus she seems to have endless energy too. Having dealt with another realtor as I purchased my new home out of state, I truly saw how awesome Julie is. I’d encourage anyone who is thinking of selling their home to contact her.

I had the pleasure of working with Julie on the sale of my investment property in Pacific Grove. She put together a wonderful marketing package and was able to find a very qualified Buyer who executed without flaw. This is not the first time I have worked with Julie, in fact she brought me the investment property in the first place. I have purchased and sold a dozen properties on the Monterey Peninsula with Julie and her team and she has never disappointed me. I would encourage you to spend some time with her and discover her knowledge of our market.

"I've now had the pleasure of working with Julie and Carmel Coast Realty on two purchases and one sale in Carmel. It is easy for me to write a glowing recommendation as we had amazing outcomes on all three and Julie is an absolute gem to work with. Carmel Coast Realty is my go to agency on the Monterey Peninsula."

Julie Kavanaugh is an excellent Realtor for the Monterey Peninsula and beyond. She exceeded our home-listing expectations, guiding us with recommendations, open house prep, obtaining 3-buyers in 2-days (all over asking price), negotiations, and an 8-day close. Wow! Julie is reliable, managing her contractors, and keeping in touch throughout the process. We highly recommend Julie for your real estate needs.

“It was great working with Julie. Her responsiveness to our needs, willingness to go the extra mile, and overall work ethic when ensuring our home got sold was outstanding!”

My wife and I were referred to Julie Kavanaugh by a long time friend. Julie was extremely knowledgeable about the local Pacific Grove and Carmel housing markets which proved invaluable. Julie is a true professional and she even chipped in to help with delivery of new toilets when the shipment coincided with our honeymoon. We would recommend Julie to anyone looking to buy their dream home in Monterey County.

Julie is my hero! When my father passed in July, I contacted her immediately for guidance. My dad had instructed me to sell the home and make sure that Julie was the realtor. She had been a former neighbor and a family friend for years. I cannot express how grateful I was for her expertise and professionalism in handling this overwhelming ordeal. This had been our family home for 44 years, and there was lots to do to prepare for its sale. Julie was helpful, supportive, and used her connections and knowledge to get the house ready for the market in record time. Thanks to her, I believe we got a much higher price for the home than we ever expected. I would recommend Julie to anyone in the area that needed a wonderful realtor. She certainly gave my family 150% of her efforts and talents.

Julie came highly recommended from a family friend and she absolutely delivered for us. During a very competitive market and when things were hectic with the pandemic, she helped us find what we needed for our family. She walked us through every step of the process and has even been there for us after closing for anything we need. We highly recommend her.

I recommend Julie Kavanaugh with all my heart. She is incredibly knowledgeable and does not give up until she finds the perfect opportunity. I was a challenging buyer in this marketplace. 99% of the opportunities were out of my price range but she was patient, supportive and protective of my dream of home ownership. She did not give up even when I did. She uncovered every stone until the perfect home for me appeared. Her experience helped me every step of the way. She also has a wonderful team of trustworthy vendors to support home improvements after the purchase. Deme

MaryJane Caputo and Julie Kavanaugh possess extensive knowledge about the local market and helped us to purchase our dream property. They are honest, caring and supportive every step of the way. Their negotiation skills were top notch and they went above and beyond to ensure all details were communicated and handled efficiently from inspections and purchase, and throughout the renovation process. Their expertise and professionalism surpassed our expectations and we can't recommend them highly enough to those people looking for homes in the Monterey peninsula area.

Owners of David Ave We had an excellent experience working with MaryJane and Julie. While helping us search for our dream house, they exhibited great patience and were always very responsive and quickly answered all of our questions. When we did find a house, they very efficiently finalized the paperwork. The whole process was stress free!

We had the pleasure of purchasing two homes from Carmel Coast Realty. MaryJane and Julie, aside from being personable, engaging and easy to deal with, were extremely focused on our needs and always available and responsive. I found the pair detail oriented, extremely knowledgeable about local market conditions…..and just plain fun! During the search, they took the time to understand our needs, educated us on the market conditions, showed us properties that met our requirements, and located the perfect houses for us. They were instrumental in structuring an offer, negotiating, acceptance…all the way through closing... including connecting us with local providers when we needed support related to our inspections. MaryJane and Julie remained close with us, even after closing, providing advice when post closing issues arose.

We've worked with MaryJane and Julie for four years. We purchased our first home and the care they took to make us feel comfortable and a transaction that went as smooth as we've ever had we purchased a second home this year. A great team we would recommend to anyone looking to purchase or list their home on the Monterey Peninsula. Gopi K.

Julie is fantastic to work with a. given the opportunity, we would work with her again in a heartbeat. We were relocating to the area from Georgia, can. on a house-hunting trip in April, and needed a house by the e. of June so we called Julie on our way to the airport. Heard back from her by the time we landed and had houses to look at the next day. I think she showed us everything in our price range over a five-day period until we finally found the perfect house, Our house was new construction so we had a very lengthy contract. The house wouldn't be ready until August so Julie even helped us find a Mntastic furnished rental until our house was ready. We highly recommend Julie.

Julie is an outstanding agent. She is on top of every aspect of the transaction rnaking sure that things run smoothly. She goes above a. beyond more than any other realtor I have known. She is hard-working a. from the rninute she lists the property she is full steam ahead. Advertising, running open houses and networking with other agents to get the home sold. I have also purchased properties through her and she definitely knows where and how to get great deals no one else knows about. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in buying or selling property on the Monterey Peninsula.

I cannot say enough about my experience with Julie. From the very first phone call, Julie was professional, helpful a. engaged. I had a very unique situation and she was able to make the home of my dreams a reality. She is extremely organized, knowledgeable, and an integral part of this area. She followed through on every detail every step the way which rnade the process worry-free for nue. She has been helpful with referrals frorn lenders to landscape and always responds quickly and efficiently. I am in my new house and she still checks in to rnake sure I am adjusting to Carmel. She is fantastic.

We have known MaryJane Caputo for almost 16 years, she is friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and persistent. All the skills needed for an excellent Property Manager and Realtor. She has helped my wife and I manage our local properties on both sides of the management spectrum including tenant placement for our long-term rentals and full-time management of our furnished short-term rentals. Each and every time we needed her she was available to thoroughly explain the pros and cons for each property in which we needed information such as to what rental options were in our best interest personally and financially. Always putting our needs and wants as a priority, MaryJane is an invaluable asset to us as property owners and we highly recommend her services to anyone in need of Property Management.

We’ve worked with Julie on multiple transactions. That we keep coming back for more is the highest form of flattery and endorsement. We love working with her! She goes way above and beyond to ensure the best outcomes for her clients, is an expert on all things Peninsula, and is always a fierce advocate for her clients. And she’s just an all-around great person, helpful, kind, smart, fun, and down to earth. We give Julie our highest recommendation without reservation. She’s an expert in her field, delivers excellent results, and is a joy to work with.

MaryJane Caputo has been managing our properties in Pebble Beach since 2013. We have had a long and satisfying relationship with MaryJane and continue to be very pleased with her "can-do" approach and professional grace when dealing with all the different situations that can arise with a rental property. She attends to things right away and meets our guests personally, adding extra reassurance to ourselves and our guests. We would not have purchased a second vacation rental property if she were not able to manage it.

We would like to acknowledge our great satisfaction as clients of MaryJane Caputo and Coast Estate. This last year she has handled one of our properties as a vacation rental. We have been very pleased not only with her level of professionalism but her swiftness in taking care of any problems and overseeing the property with superb detail. We write this letter with admiration of how well she conducts her business affairs. Our experience with Maryjane has only been good and we highly recommend her.

Julie was awesome! As real estate investors/landlords, we’ve bought and sold several properties and Julie is the best agent we’ve worked with on either side of the transaction. And the goodness doesn’t stop there because Maryjane picked up where Julie left off, going out of her way to help us understand the rental market (we are not from the area), hints on best ways to get up and running quickly, and referring high-quality service providers. Thank you, Julie and Maryjane!

MaryJane and Joseph have been managing my house for 9 years. They both work very hard to find tenants, keeping me posted on the process. Also important is the great cleaning crew that they have to make sure the house stays in good shape. They are very quick to respond to any inquiries. I’m fortunate to have found them to manage my house in Monterey. Highly recommend Coast Estate.

Attentive, knowledgeable, and energetic. What more could you ask for in a real estate agent? Julie recently represented us in the purchase of a home in Pacific Grove. She made every aspect of our purchase seamless and easy considering we were living out of state. I would, without hesitation, recommend Julie Kavanaugh!

We’ve worked with quite a few realtors over the years and Julie’s commitment to service and excellence is second to none. She’s professional and informative as well as knowledgeable and tenacious. All the hallmarks of a great realtor.

Julie is one of the hardest working realtors I’ve met with a network of great resources to help owners and investors tackle small projects to full renovations is a major plus.

It was great working with Julie. Her responsiveness to our needs, willingness to go the extra mile, and overall work ethic when ensuring our home got sold were outstanding!

Joseph was a hard worker who looked for ways to improve the process. He thought out of the box and was dedicated to his role. He is a great guy to work with.

Mr. Sennish has a strong working knowledge of the payment processing industry and I would highly recommend him in any endeavor he wishes to pursue.

I have known Joseph forever, and he has always been a great neighbor with an exceptional skill set.
