Carrie knows the real estate housing market! Carrie gets it done with solid strategies that get results. She is a consummate professional that you can trust. I highly recommend her for your real estate needs. - Laura Rodriquez

As a first time home buyer with a very limited understanding of the process, I was VERY nervous about trying to buy a home. Carrie helped me every step of the way, answering all of my questions, giving me insight and advice when I wasn't sure how to proceed, and guiding me through what ended up being a very smooth purchase of my first home! I cannot recommend her enough. - Joshua A

Carrie was an absolute delight to work with, knowledgeable, responsive to our requests, proactive once we established our needs, overall very professional, great personality and hugely helpful.... Highly recommended to work with... Thanks Carrie and we love our new home. - Susie Griffin

Great experience working with her and she was very accommodating. Great agent and she helped the whole experience. - Tom and Tracie Houska

"Carrie worked diligently with us over the course of several months to find just the right property at the right price. She was always patient and personable, and we truly enjoyed having her as our agent. Her competence and caring, along with a great support staff in her office, made our purchase go smoothly and without stress." - Janice Timm

Carrie is amazing. She is there for you 100% Carrie has taken care of our family real estate needs for the last 15 years. We couldn’t ask for more. - Greg Myers

We would like to send you a heartfelt thanks for all you’ve done. You have been professional, helpful and gone above and beyond to make this one of the best real estate experiences we have ever had. We all so greatly appreciate everything you did to assist us in finding our home 4 years ago where we can thrive as a family and then recently selling it so we could relocate to AZ. Thank you for being more than our realtor. Thank you for becoming our friend. For always making yourself available, for your great knowledge and your overall kindness. You didn’t make us feel like just another client, you really do care about the well being of our family. We appreciate you working so hard for us to sell our home not to forget during the onset of the pandemic. Anytime you need a reference, let us be the one. Thank you for being the best realtor! Again, thank you for your time, knowledge and kindness. You were wonderful to work with. Sincerely, Chris Marro

"Carrie is simply awesome to have as your RE agent, either selling or buying. She had been both to me/us. She was able to sell our house above our asking price (yay!) and was able to help me buy one below the asking price (another yay!)... Terrific, right? Beyond that, Carrie was also very responsive, accommodating, patient, helpful, and organized throughout the whole process. When multiple offers came in, she helped us navigate through them with ease. No going back & forth on various details because she prepared the summary sheet with pertinent details for us. That, by itself, was a huge help! The timing of both the selling and purchasing was very important to me too. Had to find another house as soon as we sold our house. Thanks to her expert maneuvering & negotiating skills, that goal was met! She was just present with us and was after our best interests as her client but always with a sense of fairness to others involved. I love that about her. I HIGHLY recommend Carrie! The best!" - Linda Crispin

Carrie is the best agent in the world! I've purchased other homes in the past and working with Carrie was, by far, the best experience of them all. She treated me more than just a client. Every exchange was warm and genuine. She accompanied me on every home tour making sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Carrie, thank you so much for helping me become a happy homeowner. You truly are an Angel! - Keisha B.

Carrie's knowledge of the market at that time was spot on and she even predicted that we would have a offer within the first 48 hours, which we did. We actually had two! Carrie was always on top of things, providing us updated information on the process and always willing to take our call whenever we had any questions. I would recommend Carrie to anyone that I knew as she was very knowledgeable, understanding and most of all, patient with us and all of our questions! Thanks again Carrie! - Pat McCaig

I have known Carrie for a long time and she is a wonderful Realtor! Very professional, experienced, knowledgeable and patient. Selling your house is very stressful but Carrie made it a very smooth process. She kept us informed throughout the transaction and was always available to address any questions or concerns we had. I would highly recommend Carrie if you are looking for a Realtor to help you sell or buy a new house! - A Cuperus

Carrie was a dream to work with! She made the entire process very easy, straightforward, and stress-free! Carrie was very responsive and knowledgeable about all areas of OC. Would 100% recommend her to anyone! E Desper

Buying a home for the first time can be intimidating but Carrie was awesome. She was extremely patient with us and exceedingly knowledgeable throughout the entire home buying process. She was available to answer all of our questions, always giving us very straight forward answers. I appreciated her thoroughness and attention to detail. She made the home buying experience as easy as possible. - T Steuart

Carrie made our house hunting an enjoyable process. She let us know what was going to happen at each stage before it happened, so there were no surprises, and her experience made her an excellent advisor. This was my first time buying a house, and it took us a bit of time to figure out exactly what we wanted (as opposed to what we thought we wanted). Carrie was so patient with us, and took us to see whatever houses we desired. She paid attention to what we said, even in regular conversation, and used that to inform the selection of houses she suggested. Every day she sent us new online listings to check out, and after hearing feedback from us, each day the listings were better and better. We were so happy when we found our house, and Carrie made the process of buying it smooth and transparent. We would recommend her (and have) to everyone. Thank you, Carrie! - K Chew

Carrie is super knowledgeable and kind. I was probably one of her smaller-income clients, and she never acted like I didn’t matter to her. When I was buying my first home, she patiently answered all my questions and always got back to me quickly. I was happy to have her help me sell that home when I moved out of state. Again she was so helpful and made the process go smoothly. I would recommend Carrie to anyone buying or selling a home. - T Chapman

Carrie, don't hesitate to send us properties as we are still undecided, and I want you to know that your follow through is unprecedented by any realtor I have ever dealt with. I know this task is time consuming but it sure puts you at the top of someone's mind when it comes to this need or desired home. All the Best, Jim Johnson

I want to thank you for a really great home buying experience!..... You always treated me as if I were your only client... You patiently answered all of my questions and you totally went the extra mile for me! Steve M.

I'd like to thank Carrie Montellano for selling my home and making the transaction so smooth and efficient. I was a first time home seller and she helped ensure I was comfortable with the process by taking the time to explain what to expect and answer all my questions (especially since the sale was short sale)...She is very knowledgeable about Orange County areas, is quick to follow up and is so easy to work with. I feel I've made a friend whom I'd recommend to anyone needing her knowledge, thoroughness and service. Aleece Noujaim

Thank you so much for the lunch on moving day. It was so helpful and thoughtful of you and really meant a lot to us. You were a dream to work with for selling our house. It was a long journey for us to start thinking about moving and then be where we are today. It went a lot more smoothly because of you. Jerry and Sharron Renfroe

Last year I was presented with an opportunity to relocate from Orange County to Seattle for a new job. It was an exciting prospect but I was very concerned about selling my condo in a depressed real estate market. I interviewed several well regarded and experienced real estate agents. Ultimately I decided to work with Carrie Montellano. It was the best real estate decision I ever made. Carrie is a great communicator and a creative marketer. She developed a very attractive web posting – pictures and text – of my home. When potential buyers came for a viewing Carrie was always available and very enthusiastic. In a depressed real estate market Carrie created a bidding competition for my condo and sold it in nine days for more than the listing price! I would recommend Carrie to anyone buying or selling real estate with full confidence.

--Andrew Moskowitz, Seattle, WA

With feedback like this and your constant communication, just reassures me that I made the correct decision on who I choose to help me sale/lease my home. I am so very impressed! Thank you Greg

You and your whole group really did such a wonderful job with the whole project of selling/buying...I just wanted you to know that is was a wonderful experience...all positive. : ) Joanne A.

Thank you for making this tough experience a good one. We totally trusted you and will also miss talking to you! Thanks for everything! Sara and Terry

Every step of the way, Carrie made selling my house such an easy process! She knows the market and she knows how to market your property to get the best price. I'm just sorry I moved out of So Cal otherwise I'd use her again!

Kelly Berg

We worked with Carrie for over a year as we searched for our home in Orange County. Due to the market, it was a challenge for us first time buyers, but Carrie helped us every step of the way. Through the stress of the grueling process—seeing countless homes and submitting multiple offers—Carrie always reassured us and answered our many questions as best as she could. We truly appreciated Carrie’s patience, experience, and communication. We couldn’t have done it without her! Yi Ran and Tom
