I found Apua Garbutt a true professional and competent real estate agent during my multiple investment property transactions. I referred a colleague to Apua - they were pleased how quickly their unit sold and at a higher price than other recently sold similar units in the complex. Apua is also a genuine, caring and trustworthy person. I am proud to call Apua my dear friend.

For over a year, my wife and I dragged Apua around looking at different homes. We made several offers on homes which for various reasons did not work out. Apua stayed on top of our search and provided us with only those homes which met our requirements. She ensured open and continuous communication via person to person meetings, email and telephone. She was instrumental in advising about the use of an inspector which ultimately save us thousands of dollars by pointing out defects in homes which we would never have caught. The final inspection report has also allowed us to know exactly where to target our repair dollars so that we are fixing those items directly related to the safety of our family. Apua answered our questions and tirelessly worked with us as we moved around looking at home after home. She was a great asset and really helped us in the home buying process by being our advocate. Great resource and I highly recommend her.

Apua Garbutt sold us our house in Coronado 3 years ago. She was great at communicating with us and immensely helpful in educating us about the pros and cons of neighborhoods that might work for us. Her commitment never wavered and her knowledge and counsel allowed us to achieve our goal of finding the perfect house for us within our budget and in the location we wanted. Her ingenuity, creativity, and extensive knowledge of the local market and networking with other agents was invaluable and truly the key to finding the ideal home for us. Once we found our new home her skills in presenting and negotiating our offer and counter offers from the sellers were essential in structuring and ultimately closing the deal. Once we had the accepted offer, she helped ensure that our interests were protected at all times and we greatly appreciated her help with inspections and the myriad of issues that arise during the escrow process. We love our new home and we would highly recommend Apua to anyone who wants to successfully buy or sell a home!

Apua has handled one purchase and 2 sales for me and is excellent to work with. She will direct the staging of your property to sell to today’s market and works hard to get the best price when purchasing and selling. She is personable And goes the extra mile for her clients!

Just a quick word about my awesome agent, Apua Garbutt.  In spite of the numerous qualifications I listed for my future home, Apua exceeded them all and found the perfect place.  Right price, right location, right size, right orientation on the lot (for that ocean breeze), everything!  As a first time home owner I was completely inexperienced, but she walked me through the process and made sure we didn’t miss a step.  I highly recommend her to anyone in the market!
