"What it's really like to grow a real estate career surrounded by support."
The Then & Now series pulls back the curtain on what it's really like to build a real estate career with proven systems, a culture that feels like family, and the kind of support that actually moves the needle.
Carissa shares her own journey — where she started, where she is now, and what made all the difference along the way.
Carissa's Reviews on Zillow
"Carissa went far and beyond getting every piece of information prepared for us during meetings and was always responsive. She made sure we understood the whole process with our mortgage. I learned a lot from her and if I could, I'd rate her 10 stars."
"From the very beginning, Carissa was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping us find the right home. What stood out most was how she treated us like family — answering questions, guiding us through decisions, and making sure we felt confident every step of the way."
"Working with Carissa made the entire experience not only manageable, but genuinely enjoyable. She was never high-pressure — she offered expert guidance and honest advice, but always let me drive the process at my own pace. I always felt supported, never pushed."
"Carissa guided us through the whole home buying process, which can be very overwhelming. With her help, we were fortunate enough to get our first offer accepted on our first choice house. We would 100% work with Carissa again and recommend her to all of our close friends and family."
25 Years of Experience and a
Heart for Helping Others.
I have worn many hats: wife, mom, grandma, volunteer, business owner, land developer, construction company owner — and now, Realtor. I bring 25 years of experience in sales and customer service to my real estate clients, and I have a genuine passion for helping others get what they need.
I look forward to walking with every client through the home buying and selling process — whatever that journey looks like for them. Real estate is one of the biggest decisions most people will ever make, and I take that seriously.
I am married to Bob, mom to Allie (Lee) and Emily (DJ), and grandma to Piper, Sawyer, Ainsley, and Rory. My greatest joy is being gramma to my granddaughters. We love our girl gang!!
