    We were referred to Carmen in early 2025 to help us sell a lot at Northstar. We were immediately impressed with Carmen's level of engagement and thoughtful approach to marketing the property. She did a great job of managing the inbound interest in the property. Ultimately it was a combination of her market knowledge and her relationships in the Lake Tahoe community that led to a successful sale. We would gladly work with Carmen again and we would certainly recommend her to anyone interested in buying or selling in the Tahoe area.

    Carmen is both an experienced and supportive real estate agent. We have had the pleasure of working with her for two of our property sales in the Truckee and would highly recommend her based on her expertise in the Tahoe area market.

    Carmen worked with me for months before my listing went active, giving me much needed advice and suggestions. My property was not an easy property to list because it was unusual and didn't fit into any common profiles. To make matters more difficult, I didn't have it ready to list until the "slow season" and bad weather had set in. Still, she miraculously created enough interest that I had multiple full price and over-asking offers within the first week of being listed, and was quickly under contract to sell. Carmen expertly guided me through all contract negotiations and I was able to close escrow early and finalize the sale without undue stress. She worked diligently and tirelessly through the whole process which insured a very successful outcome. I highly recommend her services!

    A True Guide to the Truckee-Tahoe Dream: Carmen Carr The first time I met Carmen Carr, she wasn’t just talking about real estate—she was painting a picture of what life in Truckee and Tahoe could be. She wasn’t selling houses. She was sharing a vision—of crisp mountain mornings, the scent of pine in the air, the way the lake reflects the sky at sunset. That’s the thing about Carmen. She’s not just in this business to close deals—she’s been part of this community for years, guiding people toward the right investments, the right homes, and the right decisions. She knows the market inside and out, from investment properties in Truckee to the perfect chalet on Donner Lake or a secluded retreat in Tahoe. I’ve seen too many agents come and go, chasing a quick commission. But Carmen is different. She’s here for the long haul, navigating the ebbs and flows of the market with expertise and professionalism. Whether you’re looking for a smart real estate investment or the kind of home where your family will make memories for generations, she has the knowledge, the connections, and the passion to help you find it. If you want someone who truly understands the Truckee-Tahoe lifestyle and market, Carmen is the one to call. She’s more than a Realtor—she’s a trusted guide, a seasoned expert, and the kind of person who makes you feel at home before you’ve even closed on your property.

    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.

    Over the last few years, Carmen Carr has expertly handled the sale of several properties for me around Donner Lake. She has consistently been efficient, thorough, and professional. The most recent sale was particularly meaningful to me, as the location had been special to me for many years. Carmen was sensitive to the emotions involved and managed the process with great care and smoothness. She did a wonderful job, ensuring the transaction was completed efficiently while providing excellent support

    Carmen is awesome! She was always positive, enthusiastic and responsive to any questions or inquiries from me throughout the process of selling my home. At each showing Carmen arrived early and was prepared to answer questions from prospective buyers and their sales agents. Her relationship with colleagues is cooperative and excellent. Carmen has been with the real estate market in Truckee for a number of years and knows the market well. Without hesitation I would recommend her to others looking to sell or buy a home.

    Carmen Carr was very professional to work with in the selling of our home. She made the process easy and nearly stress free. She was great at explaining the process and making sure we did everything correctly. Thank you Carmen!

    Carmen was a perfect fit for our family, helping us with the sale of our family cabin that we built long ago. We met with her early in the process and she was personable and relaxed which helped us to relax. She immediately scheduled the inspectors we needed and throughout the process had contractors on hand, and scheduled additional inspectors as needed, even at a moment's notice when something came up. She gave us advance notice as to what we needed to do, docusign and expect, and she responded promptly to all emails, texts and phone calls, answered all questions thoroughly and patiently, and was always easy to work with. Even before the offer, her team let us know what we would need to complete our documents and this continued after the offer. The whole team made it easy and smooth. We would highly recommend Carmen Carr if you have a property to sell.
