Lucky enough to have been raised in Bozeman, Carissa’s professional background includes years working in subdivision development and residential and commercial construction. Her background offers invaluable perspective while providing a comprehensive and superior ability to guide her clients to achieve their real estate goals.
Carissa prides herself in creating lifelong relationships with her clients and being a constant resource for years to come. Earning recognition as a top-producing agent, Carissa understands not only that buying and selling real estate is one of the greatest financial decisions you make in life but also, that there are other aspects beyond the look and feel of a property that can put one year ahead financially. With her knowledge of Bozeman, MT, and the Gallatin Valley, she provides a practical and grounded approach to real estate, making your decision to buy or sell, a confident, and fully educated, decision. From the current market to every stage of the real estate transaction, she is an ultimate resource. Carissa facilitates the buying and selling process as your partner, not as a salesperson, as, in the end, she believes that her client’s satisfaction is all that matters.
As an alumnus of both Bozeman High School and Montana State University, Carissa has a notable passion and pride for Bozeman; the area’s beauty, its sense of community, the lifestyle it offers, and its future as it continues to flourish with new energy and dynamic growth. It is her mission to give back to her community and her clients.
Growing up, Carissa was actively involved in her family’s real estate and construction businesses – her father was a general contractor and property developer while her mother was (and still is) a Broker/Realtor® . . . you could say the business is in her blood.
