Carolyn Chesta & Frank Gaines - The Chesta Gaines Team with Baird & Warner
We had such a great experience working with Carolyn and Frank! As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, and they were patient, knowledgeable, and supportive every step of the way. They were always honest with us, quick to respond, and truly understood what we were looking for in a home. Their positive attitude and professionalism made the process so smooth and enjoyable. Weâ€...
Carolyn and Frank were amazing and so helpful in the home buying process. We were first time home buyers and they made us feel at ease when it can feel very overwhelming and intimidating . They were very accommodating to our requests and needs and answered any questions we had very promptly. They also helped us catch a leak in the house during our final walk through, right before closing...
Carolyn Chesta and Frank Gaines were our sales team from Baird Warner. They were responsive, professional and encouraging throughout the selling process. Specific questions were answered promptly with helpful information that guided our sale. If you’re looking for a realty team to sell your home, Carolyn and Frank are top shelf.
Carolyn surpassed all expectations with how well she helped in the whole experience of buying and selling our home. She made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process with educating us along the way and communicating clearly and quickly. I was so impressed. I would be completely confident in recommending my closest friends and relatives to work with Carolyn.
It’s never easy to find a new home, in a new country! But, Carolyn and Frank made this process very easy for myself and my family. Great attention, care and patience at the entire process. Thanks
Carolyn did a great job representing us in both transactions. No drama in anyway.
Awesome job. We looked at several houses and every time she made it work for my schedule. Highly recommend.
Carolyn was always available for showings. Very helpful, answers all of our questions. She was open and honest with regard to the properties. She showed genuine concern with our investment. Highly recommend!

Carolyn,Let me start by saying I wish I had two houses for you to sell, you made it easy. I know this house didn't mean that much to you but to us it meant the world. We've made this our home for 20 years, we raised our kids in this home. Now that they've all moved on it's time for us to move on too. You took this incredibly difficult and emotional time and made it seem smooth and pain...
We planned to interview 3 agents, but cut our search short after speaking with Carolyn. We chose to interview her because she sold another house in our small subdivision. She had a solid marketing strategy including have the house professionally photographed. VERY Responsive, often within minutes, she handled all our questions and concerns thru the whole process. She was the calm reass...
Carolyn was great the entire process from my husband and I switching what our wants and needs were to supporting us through the entire process!
Carolyn and Frank were great to work with! They both demonstrated a professional, as well as personable relationship with my wife and I that I found to be important. They both were always responsive to any phone calls and emails regarding any question or concerns. If we were ever to sell/buy again we would definitely use their services. We also will be recommending their services to anyo...
Right away we could tell Carolyn was a go-getter who is very knowledgeable about the areas we where looking at. Her attention to details, and willingness to make herself available any time of day was amazing. We believe Carolyn gets to know you and your lifestyle which makes it very easy for her to find the perfect home for you.
Carolyn was awesome! I never thought buying my first house would be so easy.
Without a doubt I would vigorously recommend Carolyn! I am a first time buyer and did not have an agent. I found a listing I wanted to see and sent a submission to see the unit and Carolyn contacted me that day to set up a showing. I had a great vibe the moment I met her. She took time and explained many things along with showing me the properties. Never pushy or in a rush. Very pleasa...
My husband and I were first time homebuyers, and we couldn't have imagined all of what was involved with the process! Carolyn is very flexible with times for showings. My husband and I come home late in the evenings, and she would always find the time to accommodate our schedules. She also has 20/20 vision when viewing homes. She looked at things we wouldn't have known to look for or ask...
Where do I start? You want an agent that: > Listens to you and can focus on your individual wants and needs, then formulates a plan to hit on them. Ding! > Knows in detail all the various areas in the region. Ding! > Is always on top of keeping you informed at an unreal level. Ding! >Â Negotiates the offers and purchase contract for your best interest in a firm and professional manner. ...
Carolyn was great. We sold our home quicker than we expected (yay!) and Carolyn made us finding our new home a great priority. She also was very accommodating with my unique work schedule. I would often have to see a place without my husband, and he would later have to look, thus making Carolyn visit some places twice. She was happy to help us out and even made sure to schedule showing...
Carolyn was great! She was so helpful and very professional every step of the way! She was very knowledgeable of the area and was always willing to answer all of my questions. We highly recommend her!
Carolyn is extremely thorough, professional, organized, and really listened to what we were looking for. She has really helped to make this a stress-free process and went above and beyond what we expected of her.
