Caren Christen

As a government worker, I have made several moves. Both buying and selling, I use a realtor. Within one month of moving into our new home in Reno, I was required to relocate. Obviously, both my wife and I were very upset and knew we needed help getting the best price for our home. Upon a colleagues recommendation, we chose Ms. Christen. From our first interaction with her to the final close, we couldnt have been more pleased. I found her to be a good listener, fair, kind, and compassionate. The care she showed my wife in that difficult time was beyond any comparison.

D. Montgomery - Caren did a fabulous job for us! She is a hardworking, diligent, and responsive real estate professional who knows the Reno market extremely well. We were living full-time out-of-state while searching for a new home in Reno. Caren showed us a variety of properties in Reno and Incline over a long weekend, astutely listened to our reactions to the houses and neighborhoods we saw, and helped us articulate and prioritize our requirements. Over the next eighteen months, Caren then continued to work on our behalf, carefully showing us only those properties that met our criteria. She was patient and kind when our thinking wavered and gracious and understanding on those occasions when our travel schedules did not allow us to come to Reno to see the results of her efforts. Once we found our perfect house, Caren arranged all the necessary inspections and worked with the sellers agent to ensure a smooth escrow and close. Our experience in buying our home could not have been better, and we both highly recommend Caren.

In the real estate business the term "professional" gets thrown around way too often. Caren Christen is someone whom I whole heartily believe is deserving of the tittle Professional. I waited 4 months to write this review to let the honeymoon phase of my house purchase pass. From day one Caren treated me with the upmost respect and professionalism. Her knowledge about the local market and housing trends is astounding and unmatched. Without her advice and strategy I would have been outbid on my house. The day my house went on the market she met with me to show the house, drew up an offer and hand delivered the offer after business hours to the sellers agent. The owners accepted the offer before multiple offers flooded the property the very next day! When I am ready to purchase my second house Caren Christen will be my agent.

In January 2010, I purchased a property in Reno Nevada. This was far from straight forward as I was living overseas and earning income in a foreign currency. Caren provided an exemplary service. She was efficient and well-prepared at all times, promptly returning phone calls and e-mails, and answering a myriad of questions concerning bank-owned properties, short sales and foreclosures. What might have proved an extremely stressful venture became, at times, even quite enjoyable, and things would not have come to fruition without her knowledge, efficiency, professionalism, and care. She was consistently cheerful and upbeat, and remained positive and encouraging. Her local knowledge and expertise continue to remain invaluable.

Caren Christen is a consummate professional. Caren's level to detail is unmatched. Caren is aggressive and her sense of follow through is superb. Whenever we had a question or concern, she returns our calls promptly and efficiently. Caren's appearance reflects one of an experienced, confident and professional Realtor, like she is. Caren treats her clients respectfully and her demeanor is positive and motivated. We knew from the first meeting with Caren, that we chose the right person as our Realtor. We are very pleased that we chose Caren Christen to represent us as our Realtor.

We had the privilege to work with Caren on the listing and sale of our home. We selected Caren (based on interviews with 3 different agents) because she had an appreciation for us, as clients, and as the designers and builders of our home. We had invested our hearts and souls into the property and wanted an individual to represent us who understood our commitment to quality and excellence. Caren was that individual. At every turn, Caren was direct and honest, and provided alternative solutions to every question or concern that arose. She is prompt, effective and caring. Her strengths are communication and follow-up and she is totally reliable. Caren helped us to prepare our home for the listing, coached us through some difficult decisions, and delivered a phenomenal result. We are happy that we partnered with Caren and recommend her highly as a competent and diligent professional.

Caren was a pleasure to deal with on the sale of my home. She was very professional in keeping me updated on market activity and fully representing, promoting and marketing my property. She guided the sale process through a smooth closing very well. She managed the buyers agent as well, without bothering me with unacceptable requests. I highly recommend her services.

Caren Christen has been our agent both on the buying side and on the selling side. In a time of difficulty for the residential real estate market, Caren persevered. She never gave up on finding us just the right house. She understood our requirements and did not waste our time looking at properties that did not meet them. When we found our new home (a short sale), Caren guided us through the process in a cheerful and professional manner. Selling our old home was no easy task in the current market either, but Caren remained confident to find that buyer. I can certainly recommend her to anyone contemplating a real estate transaction.
