We recently sold our home in San Marcos and had an excellent experience working with Barrie and AnneMarie Crake of Waymaker Realty Advisors. From listing our home for sale in San Marcos through closing, they were knowledgeable, responsive, and professional throughout the process. Their 30+ years of real estate experience showed in every step, and their guidance helped make the sale smooth and successful. We would gladly recommend Barrie and AnneMarie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We were looking for an honest, Christian realtor that had the experience to help us sell our California house after we moved to Tennessee. Barrie and AnneMarie came very highly recommended by one of our old church members. We were not disappointed with their efforts. We had too high of expectations for our house and Barrie showed us real world examples of what was happening in our area and also pictures of our property since we had moved. Situation was bleak as he described and efforts to renovate would be astronomical. He brought in a buyer for additional expertise to let us know the costs and resources needed and it was beyond our capabilities. That buyer ended up buying our house and Barrie did a great job of negotiating for us and keeping us up to date. I feel we had a fair selling of the house and covered our needs and realistic expectations with Barrie. We were very satisfied with his work and his experiences to help us make the best decision for us. We recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell in this difficult market in the California area, especially in San Diego.

Anne-Marie is one of the nicest and most professional people we have ever met. She was helpful in each stage of our moving process. Understanding our specific needs, she found appropriate properties even before they came on the market and met us at a moment’s notice to look at them- sometimes multiple times! When our plans changed and we decided to move out of state, she gave us excellent referrals for movers and realtors. She checked in periodically to see how our move was going and even knew when we had found our new home! Anne-Marie is more than an excellent realtor, she is a trusted friend.

We were very pleased with our decision to choose Barrie and AnneMarie Crake of Waymaker Realty Advisors to sell our Twin Oaks home. Their professionalism, extensive experience, and local knowledge were evident from the initial consultation through the closing. AnneMarie and Barrie are considered experts in the Twin Oaks area real estate market. We felt confident because of their understanding of the neighborhood, including its streets, property types and neighborhood amenities. They provided a thorough market analysis and offered suggestions to help determine an optimal selling price that proved to be spot on. We were pleased with the ease of the entire process. We were particularly appreciative of their close work with the contractors used for pre-listing repairs and staging. This coordination helped to maximize the home's appeal and value as well as minimizing our stress. Thanks to Barrie and Annemarie’s guidance and attention to detail, the home sold quickly and smoothly, for a great price. My wife and I highly recommend their services to anyone selling a home in San Marcos and surrounding areas.

Barrie and AnneMarie Crake are best in class agents. We had a long list of needs for the sale of our home in San Marcos and they met every-single-one. It was important that we use a local agent that had deep knowledge of the trends in San Marcos and a keen sense for the type of buyer that would be interested in buying our townhouse. The Crake's are really impressive - they understand the market, are great negotiators, and have a kind disposition. The sale of our home happened very fast; only 6 days on market. When things move fast, it's easy to get lost in the paperwork, to-do lists, and feel overwhelmed. Despite the pace of our transaction, Barrie and AnneMarie made it easy. I never had any worries about the sale of our home and trusted their counsel. All of their professional attributes are great, but their kindness, thoughtfulness, responsiveness and open communication was what made the biggest impact. Barrie and AnneMarie cared for us and our home which made the entire process stress free so we could focus on moving our family to our new home.
