    About Cari and Britt Properties

    #1 Top Producing Team at Vista Sotheby's International Realty for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Top real estate agents Cari Corbalis & Britt Austin have turned the art of home-selling and home-buying into a storied career. Working out of conveniently-located Redondo Beach offices, realtors Cari Corbalis & Britt Austin have made a name for themselves throughout the South Bay by providing people who want to buy or sell a home on the Palos Verdes Peninsula and the coastal cities of Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach a more sophisticated approach and a more reliable process. You'll see these plucky and personable two all over the neighborhood, enjoying the area's best eateries while explaining the finer points of an offer to their sellers or as they escort eager buyers to their soon-to-be favorite new haunts. More results. Less drama, mystery & suspense. Cari's the Mom, your guardian and protector. Britt's the business-minded, tech-savvy daughter. But this family adventure in high-end real estate all began back in the 80's when Cari happened to take a course on real estate law. Interested by the topic and intrigued at the prospect of turning her love of luxury homes into a full-fledged career, Cari soon began out-selling many of the more senior agents. As her desire to command top prices for her sellers grew, she became a licensed home stager, sharing this body of knowledge so clients could increase home value by mastering the aesthetics and the psychology of the sale. Daughter Britt, the multi-tasking, ambitious marketing grad, grew up inspired by her mother's unique ability to quickly consummate deals and bring joy to her clients' lives. Nine years ago, fueled by the same desire to provide a smoother, easier client experience, Britt chose to partner up with Cari. Thanks to both nature and nurture, Britt has delivered tens of millions dollars in home sales. Her success is due to a similar passion for providing both sellers and buyers a more refined, more high-end real estate experience. Additionally, she's a beautiful complement to Cari's core talents, possessing greater marketing and social media savvy, along with the managerial ability to recruit, lead and supervise a team of strategic partners. By paying closer attention to the needs of clients and the fluctuations in the market, the two soon found the calmer, more enjoyable experience they delivered was something both sellers and buyers not only valued but celebrated. Today, they stand as two of the area's most well-respected and high-performing real estate agents. Together, they share in a belief that enduring success in the real estate industry will always be more about people than it is about property. Now, if only every mother and daughter got along this famously...

    Forrest sold our old home and helped us purchase our new one. Extremely knowledgeable, great communication and good at explaining the details. Helped make sure that we stayed on track and good at gently nudging you to get things done on time. Really knows the Southbay neighborhoods and the other realtors. Great at advising during negotiations. 100% recommendation.

    This is a review and a recommendation of the outstanding job Forrest Graham and his company did for us in the sale of our house. Working with Forrest was, without exaggeration, one of the best professional experiences weve had. From our very first conversation, it was clear that he and his company have a deep knowledge of the market, the strategic intelligence needed for a smooth and fair transaction, and genuine care for us, his clients. Throughout the whole process he listened carefully to what we wanted, asked thoughtful questions, and immediately understood both our practical needs and our personal preferences. That level of attention made the entire process feel tailored, calm, and under control aEUR" even in a very competitive market. We believe that what truly sets Forrest apart is his extraordinary commitment and work ethic. He was always available, incredibly responsive, and consistently proactive aEUR" anticipating issues before they arose and handling every detail with precision. Whether it was negotiating, coordinating inspections, managing paperwork, or navigating complex timing issues, everything was done smoothly and professionally. Equally important, he impressed us with his honesty, integrity, and warmth. At no point did we feel pressured; instead, we felt guided, protected, and genuinely supported. It was clear that our best interests aEUR" not just closing a deal aEUR" were always his priority. And the result was a transaction that was efficient, successful, and surprisingly stress-free. If you are looking for a real estate agent who is not only highly competent, but also trustworthy, strategic, attentive, and genuinely wonderful to work with, we cannot recommend Forrest highly enough. He is exceptional, and we would work with he and his team again without hesitation. Juana and Sergio MuA+-oz

    My husband and I have only ever purchased homes and for the first time we were looking to sell one. I did not realize how emotional this would be as it was our first home where we lived happily in Redondo Beach for 18 years. Cari and her team were unbelievable. They first identified what we needed to do to make it buyer ready and then they managed the entire process. Cari was beyond patient with me and understood the turmoil I was going through at seeing my home change to let it go. Our timing was not ideal as the market started to lag, but in the end we sold at our target price due to the tenacity of Cari and the team.
