Carissa Brikken Brown - Christie's International Real Estate | Sereno

We recently sold our long-time family home in California while living in the UK, and Carissa made the entire process seamless. She communicated with us exceptionally well despite the time difference, guided us with smart recommendations to upgrade the property before listing, and managed everything so we could handle the sale remotely with confidence. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and care made all the difference. We are truly grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home.

Working with Carissa was such an absolute pleasure!! She made the decision making, timelines, deadlines, and the stress of putting our house on the market as easy as possible. She is extremely knowledgeable, a quick thinker, very thorough in her follow up and communication, and has the gift of encouragement too!! We could not have been more pleased with our decision to work with Carissa. I would recommend her to everyone I know who is looking for a professional, efficient and savvy realtor. She’s the best!

Carissa is an amazing realtor with great market knowledge and instinct and was able to sell our home before going on the market and for top dollar. She was wonderful in helping us prep for the sale and was very realistic in what repairs/upgrades would produce a return without spending more than was necessary. She also provided a wonderful staging team that pulled everything together while still allowing us to stay in our home. The market was very fluid and she monitored and updated us regularly with the most recent comps to keep us aware of changing availability and demand——thereby managing expectations. And, as everyone is aware, selling a home is very stressful, exhausting and emotional, but Carissa’s energy, humor, kindness and can-do attitude helped us navigate the sales process and st

Carissa was so helpful with the sell of my mother’s house. I live out of state and Carissa was on top of everything, making sure it was done correctly and on time. I just followed her lead and she got the house sold in less than a week & over asking price. She was very responsive, kind and made my mom feel very comfortable with the whole process. I would highly recommend Carissa and her team. She was a pleasure to work with!

Carissa helped my wife and I purchase a condo in Rossmoor for my wife's grandmother when she was losing her home of many years in the walnut creek area. We couldn't have asked for a better agent to walk our family through the process. Carissa was thoughtful and kind with my in-laws, and highly communicative with my wife and I who were managing the transaction from out of town. Rossmoor transactions have many idiosyncrasies to say the least and we were so grateful for Carissa's factual wise counsel and sound recommendations throughout. If you are buying (or selling) a home in the east bay, you will not regret choosing Carissa as your agent.
