Carrie Carter

Carrie is everything I expected and more from a real estate agent: detail-oriented, responsive, knowledgeable, good-humored, and a trusted advisor through the negotiation, inspection and closing processes. She was truly a pleasure to work with. She gave us loads of helpful information along the way, and by the end she had become a friend. As a result of our positive experience, we have already recommended Carrie to a number of friends and colleagues.

My husband and I were first-time home buyers and soon to be first-time parents when we were referred to Carrie. We had so many variables to juggle, everything from wanting to be close to my parents, who live in a high-priced neighborhood, to needing a mortgage we would be able to handle on one income, to the more intangible desire of finding the right nest for our growing family. At one point we were so sure we wouldnt be able to find a two-bedroom in the neighborhood we wanted, we were asking to look at one-bedrooms with large closets for junior! Carrie, however, was persistent, and she worked tirelessly with us until we found just the right (two-bedroom) home. We even used her recommended workers to paint and redo the floors and we were delighted with their work. At every step Carrie was open, supportive and diligent in her efforts to help us buy our first home. We would recommend her in the highest!

I recently bought my fourth house, but it was my first time working with Carrie. I knew what I wanted and where. She knew the neighborhood and stock like the back of her hand. Only four places fit my requirements, and I bought one of them. The entire process from contract to closing was complete in two weeks and was effortless for me. I am never buying or selling another house without Carrie again.

My wife Susan and I are very satisfied clients of Carrie's. She was terrific. Carrie showed us numerous properties and worked incredibly hard, was very responsive on email, was never unavailable, went to extraordinary lengths to help us with the due diligence, and even helped us find maid services and schools for the kids at the end. Just before closing Carrie discovered some issues with the house that we resolved. My lawyer told me that "Ninety-nine out of one hundred brokers would not have uncovered those issues." I was very impressed with Carrie's professionalism and commitment to us as clients. I've never seen a broker work so hard for a client, and we feel so lucky that we hired her. I have referred her to numerous colleagues and friends.

I am grateful for the opportunity to brag about Carrie Carter!When my husband and I were new to the buying scene more than a decade ago, we met Carrie at an open house and never even considered interviewing another agent. She was vibrant, encouraging and incredibly smart. We ended up in a house we loved (with multiple bids in a very competitive market) and ultimately handed the house back over to her to sell (again, benefiting from Carrie's expertise and securing the best offer among multiple bids) when we moved to London 5 years ago. Also, in the interim, we have referred her to other friends who she has gone on to sell for.We recently decided to move back from London, so it was time to rely upon Carrie's experience and style again. Earlier this spring, she patiently and wisely walked us through our options and literally acted as our eyes from afar, scouting neighborhoods and houses. In a market with very little choice (especially given the parameters we were hoping for), with her finger literally on the pulse, she found a house on the cusp of coming onto the market in an incredibly desirable neighborhood that merited "I think you need to fly overquickly!" With Carrie spearheading an amazing transactiongiven the market, timing, distance and our desires (!)we are closing on our property next month.I must just add one more tidbit: Our relationship was taken to another level when Carrie met my parents, who stood in for my husband and me during the recent house inspection. Now my Mom and Dad want to buy a house from her!Carrie is truly the whole package: strategic and professional, positive and honest, well-connected and trustworthy. Also, she is fun and stylish, which brings joy to a process that can be daunting and grueling.

Carrie is a fantastic, knowledgeable, and very experienced real estate professional. My wife and I have worked with Carrie on several transactions, most recently in the sale of a townhouse and purchase of a home. She is very perceptive of her clients' needs and took the time to understand our criteria and the timeline we were working on. She is also very responsive, often at late hours, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we had all the information to make the right decision about our home purchase. Perhaps most importantly, she is a skilled negotiator and understands how to get the deal done, knowing when to push and when to give, and above all making sure our goals were met. I would not hesitate to use her services again and recommend her without hesitation to others.

Carrie was fantastic from start to finish. She provided highly personalized attention and went way beyond anything I would expect any broker to do to help us sell our home. She was very knowledgeable about the DC market and helped us navigate the entire process. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Carrie. She is the consummate professional: always on top of her game and an incredibly supportive advocate for her clients. She exhibited valiant patience during a very long and protracted deal and proved to be a tenacious deal-maker when it got down to the wire. She is calm under pressure and was always a source of sound wisdom and spot-on advice. There were many points in the process where I wasn't sure if I needed her more as a broker or as a therapistshe succeeded in both roles!Plus she's a lot of fun to be around! We are so grateful to her for finding, negotiating, and closing on our family's dream home!

Thank you very much for all of your time, experience, information and good instincts that you shared with us during the long search to help my daughter find her first home! You gave us both a very good education about the local real estate market, which is so important as one is about to plunge into such a large financial and personal investment. You made it lots of fun too! We are grateful for your low-key, but thoroughly professional approach.Both Julia and I warmly recommend you as a great agent to anyone buying a home! She is so happy with her beautiful new condo!
