"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."

"Throughout the pre-sale preparation, pricing and marketing processes, she helped us to focus on projects that would help us maximize the sales value of our home. In the end, we attained multiple offers and sold notably over our asking price. We attribute our successful sale to Carrie’s business acumen and negotiating skills.
We continue to call on Carrie’s know-how and resources with questions about local ordinances and contractor referrals. She has always been readily available to assist. For this and much more, we highly recommend the services of Carrie McAlister."

"Carrie was an absolute pleasure to work with. In preparing our home for sale we had very tight deadlines for all parties involved (stagers, contractors, inspectors) and she made sure that all proceeded in accordance with our set schedule.
Our first (and only!) Open House was a great success and brought in multiple offers. She kept us informed and up-to-date throughout the various stages of selling our home which put us at ease and kept the process going along very smoothly. We were very happy with the outcome and wholeheartedly would recommend Carrie to anyone who is looking for a very professional and dedicated Realtor."

Carrie patiently walked me (a first-time home buyer) through the process. During the search I was most impressed with how well she listened to my needs regarding location, size, amenities, etc. Carrie was professional, thorough, and a pleasure to work with."
