"We are grateful to Carrie and her amazing team at Calia Homes for their steadfast support in selling our house. From our very first meeting, we were drawn to Carrie’s genuine warmth and expertise, which made us feel confident in our choice. Trust was paramount for us, especially as we navigated the many decisions involved in selling our home. During this journey, we faced the loss of a family member, which added emotional weight to an already challenging time. Carrie and Lucy stepped in as more than just business associates—they became true friends who showed up for us with compassion and understanding. Things took a turn when our neighbors unexpectedly decided to extend their fence line based on an old survey, delaying our sale by three weeks just days before we were set to list. In the midst of this turmoil, Carrie remained a steady presence, keeping calm and focused. Her sound advice and genuine care helped us manage this difficult situation with grace. When you’re selling or buying a home, having someone in your corner makes all the difference—and with Calia Homes, you’ll find that unwavering support. We wholeheartedly recommend Carrie and her team to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated partner on their real estate journey!"

"Carrie McAlister and her team are 10 Star. I have bought and sold real estate over 30 years and they were the best. Carrie and team take charge of the total process of selling your home from helping you clean out your space and getting it staged to even being there for any repairs necessary. They are flexible, easy to work with and always open to a Seller's input. One could easily hand Calia Homes the key to your property, go on vacation and wait for them to call you with the good news.

The Savage Family

"After moving our parents into assisted living, my siblings and I were selling our family home in the Oakland Hills. This was a long-distance affair since we live in Southern California.

"After moving our parents into assisted living, my siblings and I were selling our family home in the Oakland Hills. This was a long-distance affair since we live in Southern California. We came to the Bay Area and met several real estate agents, and Carrie was the only one who arrived with a list of comps, a marketing plan, a timeline, and a wonderfully warm personality. She listened to our concerns and patiently answered our questions. She gave us the benefit of her experience selling homes in Oakland – Carrie really knows the market. She told us what we would have to do to get the property ship-shape and what it would likely cost, and she was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Carrie always communicated promptly and clearly. But most important: She gave us a tremendous feeling of ‘calm,’ and we knew we were in good hands. I wish that all my business affairs went this smoothly. As far as we’re concerned, Carrie McAlister is pure gold."

"Carrie’s core professional capacities for negotiation, diligence, objectivity, and clear communication – combined with an excellent general business sense – clearly distinguish her from most agents. She is quite remarkable for her confidence, social grace, and thoughtful human interactions. In short, she’s just good people. She built a strong rapport with our two-year-old son, making things much easier for two working parents. Without reservation, we give Carrie our wholehearted endorsement."
