Look no further than Lincoln Realty – they are simply the best! Selling our family home in Spinnaker Hill (Carlsbad, CA) after our mother passed was a daunting and emotional task. The person who recommended Steve Lincoln to me said “just do everything he suggests, and you will have your house sold in no time” and that was certainly true. Steve, a consummate professional, is the most ethical, effective, knowledgeable, and interesting realtor you will ever meet. He has an arsenal of “guys” to take care of getting the house ready to go on the market (home inspection, window cleaners, repairs, haul-away, etc.) Diana and Bryce did an awesome job staging the house. All three of them were such a pleasure to work with. After our open house, we had 19 offers! Most of them above the listing price, and our house was sold quickly. I highly recommend Lincoln Realty!

Steve Lincoln and his team did a fantastic job on our home sale this summer. His detailed and analytical approach was much appreciated as he kept us informed through a tough selling period. When our buyers tried to occupy the property hours before the title change was recorded, he had his team (his wife and son) at our house within 10 minutes and successfully addressed the issue. We would highly recommend Steve Lincoln's team: professional, responsive and successful.

We feel very fortunate to have contracted with the Lincoln Realty Group to sell our home. We wanted a quick sale and Steve and Diana certainly delivered! We signed a contract on a Thursday evening and on Wednesday of the following week we had an over-ask offer with great terms and even had back-up offers. Steve and Diana were very professional and ethical, and we appreciated that. We felt they were looking out for the best interest of everyone involved in the sale. Although Steve and Diana had other properties that they were representing, we felt like we were their only clients. Their communication skills are excellent and they kept us up to date on everything. We highly recommend the Lincoln Realty Group.

Steve, Diana, and the Lincoln Realty Group were outstanding in all facets of our condominium purchase transaction. We are very grateful that they were able to help us, as out-of-state buyers, to have "boots on the ground" support in Carlsbad. From the time we were prospecting the area through the time we went under contract, engaged in post-inspection negotiations, and closed (and even afterward), they "had our back" all along the way. They have extremely deep and personal knowledge of Carlsbad and are the pre-eminent specialists in Aviara. Their responsiveness, communication, and commitment to client service are excellent. They are also terrific tacticians/strategists. Steve and Diana have been generous in offering recommendations and referrals to help us adjust to the community. Kudos to the Lincoln Realty Group on a job very well done and for "setting the standard" of excellence in Aviara.

We worked with Steve and Diana about 9 years ago to sell our home and buy a new one in Carlsbad. When the opportunity occurred for me to work in another state in the Fall of 2022, Steve found me a professional agent in our new location to help find a new home for us too. It couldn’t have worked out better between all the agent coordination despite the out-of-state move. We found a new home and the teamwork of Steve, Diana and Bryce Lincoln were able to sell our Carlsbad home at top price despite the current prevailing economy. With our confidence in the Lincoln’s we purchased our new home before we sold the Carlsbad home. We had the utmost confidence that our Carlsbad home would be sold in short order without compromise. I was able to continue my work, move , sell the house and close escrow without the stress.

I could write volumes about my first-rate experience with Bryce Lincoln as my buyer's agent. Bryce was completely responsive from the first moment of contact. He went out of his way to chase down answers to any and every question I had along the way. Having a long local history, Bryce is intimately familiar with the greater La Costa / Aviara areas and beyond and is an absolute wealth of knowledge. From the initial showings through the closing process, Bryce was a pleasure to work with. We quickly established a personal rapport, as Bryce gained my complete trust. He listened to every detail, and was able to navigate his way through the tricky process of placing me in my dream home. It would not have happened without him.

Steve is an exemplary real estate professional with a family team that went above and beyond our wildest expectations in the sale of our house. We moved out of our house and out of town prior to our home going on the market. This resulted in them providing services such that we did not have to worry for a moment that he was working for our best interests. Whether it was staging our house at no additional cost or getting various adjustments completed in getting our house in perfect move-in condition for a future buyer. Steve’s expertise in the market’s geographic area was instrumental in determining a competitive sale price in the existing ever-changing market in Carlsbad. Steve was very involved in all aspects of closing. He is friendly, responsive, and provides great advice. We had weekly and sometimes daily telephone discussions as to the ongoing open houses and marketing strategy. He provided very helpful input in responding to all offers we received. With Steve’s assistance we feel that we received top dollar for the sale of our house in a very timely manner

After 45 years of real estate transactions, building, buying, selling, rentals, spec homes etc., I’ve dealt with a lot of professional real estate agents, brokers, escrow, title, contractors, every kind of situation imaginable. Steve and his team are the most honest, reliable, trustworthy, and completely thorough group I’ve ever worked with. He takes care of every single detail seamlessly so there are no surprises, emergencies, costly time sensitive last-minute issues. He just completely owns the transaction. He reads between the lines in the search for or sale of a property. He fights hard to make it right and smooth and I know it won’t haunt me later. I don’t give out compliments and expect precision work but Steve takes it beyond that makes it personal and painless. I’ve had him represent me several times and can’t recommend him enough. He saves you money, grief and the unknown and is fighting for his clients much more than himself.

Bryce is amazing! I sold real estate myself for 13 years and have interacted with many agents over the years and I don't think I've ever met anyone as comprehensive as Bryce. He is exceptionally knowledgeable in the Carlsbad market and sold my home the first weekend on the market! His responsiveness was incredible, and he always made me feel like I was his #1 priority. I knew the minute I met Bryce, and subsequently Steve and Diane Lincoln, that they were the ones I would entrust to sell my home. I highly recommend Bryce and the entire Lincoln Realty Group!

Highly recommend the Lincolns to help you find your next home. They went beyond the expected, from helping us get familiar with the area, coming up negotiation strategy to get the best price to ensuring issues uncovered were addressed in order to close escrow in record time.
