Carissa Ratliff

Carissa has purchased and leased three homes for us including our residence. She is a hard worker who is dedicated to helping her clients and undertanding their needs. A very strong negotiator. I have recommended her to many people

We have used Carissa to purchase our main home and two rentals in the Austin area. What I really like about working with her is her attitude and the ease of doing business with her. She understands the market and communicates well with a tireless effort to getting the property you want. I strongly recommend Carissa for your RE needs in and around the Austin TX area.

December 8th, 2013We contacted Carissa 2 yrs ago to look into selling our home. Carissa ran the numbers and told us it would be smarter to wait a couple more years. In Sept she contacted us to see if we were still interested in selling, I told her "If you can get us into a bigger house, with VERY little out of pocket and keep our mortgage payment the same, then yes, we're still interested"! She ran her magic numbers and quickly called us back to say "I can do all that and make you a little money in the process"! Everything that she said would happen, happened! She listed our house and 6 days later it was under contract! About 5 days after that, we were under contract on our new house as well! Her prediction of how much money we were going to make on the sale of our house was right on the money! Besides our extra $20 a month mortgage payment, we got everything we wanted and more!! With the extra money we made, we upgraded some things in our new home and instantly added some equity!! The whole experience was simply amazing! Carissa is extremely knowledgable in every detail of buying, selling and financing a home! I can't recommend her enough!! My favorite part about dealing with Carissa, was the constant communication. As soon as she knew something, I knew something. If I had any questions about what was going on with our loan, she immediately got a hold of whoever could answer that question and called/texted me with the answer. Oh, and let's not forget that she was in a wedding in HI when my house went under contract!! Still remained in constant contact the whole time!! Well, not during the wedding, at least I don't think? Long story short (too late), I absolutely love Carissa and can't say enough great things about her!

We first met Carissa when we moved from Southern California to Austin for a job relocation. At that point we were not ready to buy, so she helped us find a leasing opportunity in the neighborhood we requested, all with great ease. When we were finally ready to buy, we knew who to call. Carissa helped us find our new home to build and walked us through not only the loan process, but the entire long build process. She was our advocate, and followed up with the builder at all times. We recently closed on our home, and we have recommended her to colleagues, friends, and family. In fact she just closed a home for a co-worker 45 days after our closing! Working with Carissa is a pleasure. You know that she is honest, forthcoming, and will go the extra mile for you. We can't recommend her enough
