Team Carrie & Charisse

Be prepared, be patient, and trust the process. In today’s market, the most successful buyers are the ones who understand their budget, have a strong pre-approval, and partner with an agent who knows how to win in competitive situations. We always advise our buyers to: Get pre-approved with a reputable lender early. Know your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves. Stay emotionally flexible—the right home may not be the first one you offer on. Lean on your agent’s strategy—from offer writing to negotiation, we guide you every step of the way With the right guidance and mindset, you’ll not only find the right home—you’ll win it.

First impressions matter—online and in person. The best advice we give sellers is to treat your home like a product: presentation, pricing, and promotion all play a role in maximizing your sale price. Here’s what we recommend: Prep your home to shine. Declutter, deep clean, and consider staging (we handle this for you). Price it strategically. The right price attracts the most attention and can lead to multiple offers. Market it aggressively. Professional photography, video, social media, and open houses should be non-negotiable. Work with a local expert who knows how to position your home in the current market and handle negotiations with confidence. At Team Carrie & Charisse, we take the stress off your shoulders by managing every detail—repairs, vendors, showings, paperwork—so you can focus on your next move.

We’ve worked with a wide range of clients, including: First-time homebuyers looking for guidance and confidence in the process Move-up buyers and sellers navigating the sale of their current home while buying their next Investors and flippers focused on ROI and off-market opportunities Seniors and downsizers who need a stress-free transition with extra support Luxury home clients seeking elevated marketing and negotiation expertise Relocating families who need local insight and full-service coordination Busy professionals who want a hands-off, concierge-style experience No matter the situation, we tailor our approach to meet your goals. Our job is to make your life easier and your results better—every step of the way.

One of our favorite recent transactions was with a buyer who thought homeownership was out of reach. We first spoke on a Friday, showed her a property Saturday, and by Monday, she was in escrow. Just 22 days later, we closed. From first conversation to keys in hand in 24 days—that’s nearly unheard of in today’s market. She had been planning to keep renting, unsure if buying was even possible. With the right guidance, a clear plan, and quick action, we helped her secure her dream home. Moments like that remind us why we do what we do—to help people move from uncertainty to ownership with confidence and ease.
