My wife and I recently purchased an investment property. Carissa was fantastic and instrumental in helping us navigate through the entire process. Her expertise together with her honesty and integrity made us feel protected and completely in good hands. We are very grateful to have found an excellent realtor, and a great advocate and friend. It would be a pleasure to work with Carissa in the future.

I have been working with Carissa for the past few years selling new home construction units. She has been so amazing to work with that when it came time for me to sell my personal home, I went to her. She sold my home in 2 days for more than my list price. I will continue to work with the AMAZING Carissa not only on the builder side, but also for any future personal home buying or selling.

Literally THE BEST realtor I have ever worked with. Carissa was the selling agent on a home I purchased unrepresented. She was so efficient, responsive, and kind, that I decided to contract with Carissa to sell the home I was moving out of. Well...Carissa had my home under contract in less than 24 hours, in the middle of coronavirus lockdown, AND for over asking price. No one even comes close to Carissa when it comes to real estate. Best in the BIZ!

Carissa was referred to me through a friend in my office about 4 years ago. Carissa has been one of the best contacts for me to have in the 25 years I have lived in the Bay Area. I have had extensive experience with her, as she has arranged for the purchase and selling of two homes for me. I cannot express enough how kind, professional and sincere she is. Carissa, always has my best interest in mind, and gives very valuable advice. She stayed in touch, and supported me through every step of the process. I can't imagine even trying to attempt a sale or purchase of a property without her guidance. If you find yourself working with Carrisa as your agent, you will not be disappointed ! She is a wonderful professional, but more important a very kind and sincere individual.

Questions & Answers

Do I need to stage my home?

The goal is to make your home as appealing as possible to the most potential buyers, before photos of your home are taken. Staging your home can include anything from redecorating to rearranging furniture, cleaning or other aesthetic strategies to present the home in the best possible light. You can do it yourself, have your real estate agent guide you, or hire a staging company.

Who pays for a home inspection?

In most cases, the buyer pays for the home inspection.

What does selling a home ‘as-is’ mean?

Jane Johnson | Mar 11, 2022
Carissa Brikken Brown - REALTOR© | Mar 11, 2022

If someone is selling a home that needs repairs - yet chooses not to fix them - they may choose to list a property as-is. Disclosures and inspections are typical steps in the process. In an as-is sale, a buyer is willingly purchasing the home in its current state with full knowledge of its condition.

What is disclosure?

Jane Johnson | Mar 11, 2022
Carissa Brikken Brown - REALTOR© | Mar 11, 2022

When selling a property, it is incumbent upon the seller to disclose any details about the home that might negatively affect its value.

How long will it take to sell my home?

Jane Johnson | Mar 11, 2022
Carissa Brikken Brown - REALTOR© | Mar 11, 2022

Factors such as the time of year and market conditions play a big role in how quickly a property sells. How you price, market and stage your home are also very important variables that will affect how long a home remains on the market.

What needs to stay when I sell my home?

Jane Johnson | Mar 11, 2022
Carissa Brikken Brown - REALTOR© | Mar 11, 2022

Any fixture that is ‘attached’ or built into the house typically remains. For example, if your house has built-in bookshelves, they typically stay with the house. The same is true of kitchen or bathroom fixtures, and fireplaces. Exceptions and details can be discussed during the negotiation process.

What is an appraisal for when I buy a house?

Jane Johnson | Mar 11, 2022
Carissa Brikken Brown - REALTOR© | Mar 11, 2022

A professional appraiser will inspect a property and compare it to other similar homes in the area. From there, a fair market value is determined. Unless you plan on paying all cash for a property, you will likely need a home appraisal.

How do real estate agents get paid?

Jane Johnson | Mar 11, 2022
Carissa Brikken Brown - REALTOR© | Mar 11, 2022

A real estate agent is paid as part of the closing costs, which comes out of the sale proceeds at the end of the process.

What steps do I take to sell my home?

Jane Johnson | Mar 11, 2022
Carissa Brikken Brown - REALTOR© | Mar 11, 2022

Your first step is to hire a real estate agent you trust. Together, you will set an asking price, prepare your home for listing, list and market your property, negotiate an offer, and close on the sale.

How much is my home worth?

Jane Johnson | Mar 11, 2022
Carissa Brikken Brown - REALTOR© | Mar 11, 2022

Sharing particular information when connecting with a real estate agent can help give you an idea of your home’s value in today’s market. The in-person expertise of a real estate agent will give you a more accurate opinion of your home’s value.
