Carmen was referred to me when I needed to sell an inherited house in Truckee. I'm so glad that she was. I live about 500 miles away, and needed someone who could take the process from beginning to end with little or no hands-on participation by me. Once I gave Carmen the green light, she jumped through all the hoops to get the house ready for sale, put the house on the market at a seemingly aggressive price, and closed the sale at above asking price, all within 30 days. To my mind, her integrity and professionalism are unmatched. read more

She really made everything easy, coordinating relevant document signings, whether via carrier or electronically for convenience, and acting in a professional and expedient manner.

We came to Carmen through a referral from a friend who is no stranger to real estate. We were told among other great things that she was knowledgeable and had an immense amount of integrity. Considering how little we knew about the process or what we wanted versus what we could afford, Carmen not only proved the referral true but, also showed herself to be patient and attentive to our needs. From our very first meeting with Carmen, she helped us understand the process and assured us that she would help us all along the way. With the confidence of knowing we had a great realtor on our side, last spring my fiance and I had one goal - to purchase our first home. At the same time, the demand for housing in Truckee exploded - making our prospects of finding an affordable home seem bleak. While we were well on our way to giving up, Carmen did not. She continued to work with us, and in a surprisingly short few months, found us the perfect home - and it fit our budget! I cannot stress just how grateful we are for Carmen's hard work and diligence. This market has proven to be very hard for anyone wanting to buy a home right now, and yet she prevailed for us. She was there for us throughout, even after we closed on the home. We will absolutely go to Carmen the next time we or anyone we know want to buy a home. She found success for us in a difficult time, and I am confident that she will find success for anyone that she works with! read more

Carmen was referred to us by a good friend and we were so glad we followed their advice! From the first moment we met Carmen we knew we had made the right choice. She clearly explained the intricacies and nuances of selling a home in Truckee. He knowledge of Tahoe Donner (including previous sales and future listings) was extensive. She clearly communicated her plans and processes she would use to sell our home. She was so on the ball!

She really did us proud! Thanks Carmen! read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Carmen on the sale and purchase of several houses over a 15 year period and I can't say enough positive things about her. Aside from her deep knowledge of the local market and thoughtful/strategic approach, she is 100% customer-centric and operates with incredibly high integrity. Unlike many realtors who are focused on their next sale or maximizing their commission, Carmen is most concerned that her clients get the best deal and are happy with their sale and/or purchase. read more

We never once felt pressured into anything. She was truly looking out for our best interest. We highly recommend Carmen Carr!!! read more

I don't even know where to start! Perhaps a little about what kind of home buyer we were. We didn't have a big budget. We were definitely not a high price ticket and our search was a struggle given our price point. However, Carmen never made us feel less important than anyone else. She was by our side every step of the way and I am proud to call her one of my first friends in Truckee. She gave us outstanding recommendations, connected us with great people, and helped us find a home we are proud of. Even a trip to Germany didn't keep her from being supportive and right there till the end. She even stayed up into the wee hours of the morning in Germany to ensure our escrow closed on time. There were more than a few challenges with this home purchase but she was never swayed. We highly recommend Carmen for anyone's home buying or home selling needs. She is kind, honest, and responsive. And I am happy to now call her a friend :-) read more

Carmen is a phenomenal real estate agent who I very strongly recommend. In the process of looking for a home, Carmen diligently helped me specify what I was looking for through visiting houses and extensive discussions. She used this to narrow down a list that would be perfect, then navigated the bidding process fairly, professionally, representing my best interests. Her patience, extensive knowledge of real estate (and what to look for in a home), and familiarity with the Truckee/Tahoe area helped me tremendously through this process. Even post-sale, she continues to be extremely helpful! In addition to writing this glowing review, I have personally recommended her already to my close friends and colleagues, and will not hesitate to work with her again. read more

Everyone wants a review right after a happy transaction because that's when people are the most pleased with their agent, or restaurant, or car salesman. But for me, the truth in the pudding is the follow-through. You know, when some weird unforeseen thing happen, and Ghost Busters are unavailable? Who you gonna call? You turn to the agent you've been working with because that's the person you think knows the area better than anyone else you've met. And you call, and you call, and what? No response? You know what I'm talking about. That is the polar opposite of our experience with Carmen Carr. We bought our house in September in Tahoe Donner, and now it's December, and we're still calling her and she's still responsive, helpful, and always good for a laugh and a helpful, reliable referral. If you want to buy a house, any agent will broker the transaction for you. If you want to buy a home and be a part of an amazing community, you should reach out to Carmen. read more

Carmen Carr assisted our Son in purchasing his very first home in Truckee. She was responsive in showing him properties he was interested in right away and with her years of invaluable knowledge of the area, guided him towards the property that best suited his needs, taste and budget. She patiently worked with us also - the out of Town parents - answering our many questions. When it came to a quick and final decision, I felt we could trust her judgment on the property being a good buy for our son.

It took Carmen a year to help us find our mountain home and 72 hours to sell it. What happened in the intervening 5 years was a developing friendship,many vetted referrals to local tradespeople, multiple guided hikes and an ongoing respect for her professional acumen. Carmen is a Truckee local, is well connected and respected by all who know her. She is patient and always led by what are her clients' needs and wishes. She has gone out of her way so many times for us when we were separated by distance (we were 2nd home owners in the Truckee area, not always on site) to help us manage our home. Good on you for choosing to work with Carmen! read more

We definitely had a few headaches during the process but Carmen handled them calmly and with grace. We don't know if we would have gotten our amazing first home in Carnelian Bay without her. Thanks Carmen!!!!!!!!!! read more

Carmen is the best! My wife and I first met Carmen back in 2011 while looking for a "home away from home" in Truckee,Ca. We were so blessed to have met her during this time. Carmen was the agent for the seller and we were so impressed with her!! We found her to be completely attentive to both the seller and to ourselves, the perspective buyers. When it came time to sell our home and purchase another we called Carmen. We have had several real estate transactions over the last 30 years and the last three were with Carmen Carr. What a privileged and a great experience we have had working with Carmen. She is attentive, thorough, positive, and very knowledgeable. Carmen was able to make the buying and selling process smooth and stress free. She truly is the BEST! We are in business for ourselves and have been for 30 years and it is a great experience when you find someone who cares as much as Carmen. My wife and I would not use anyone else for our future transactions and we highly recommend Carmen Carr. read more

I am happy to provide an excellent review for Carmen Carr- it is extremely well earned and would recommend her to any friend or family member needing real estate services.

She dedicated time to the search and with us as well as helping the whole process go smoothly. Highly recommended! read more
