Trusted Experience Joanne Trego – Seller We had the privilege to work with Caren on the sale of our home. We selected Caren (based on interviews with 3 different agents) because she had an appreciation for us, as clients, and as the designers and builders of our home.

We had invested our hearts and souls into this property and wanted an individual to represent us who understood our commitment to quality and excellence. Caren was direct, honest and provided solutions. She is prompt, effective and caring. Her strengths are communication and follow-up and she is totally reliable. Caren delivered a phenomenal result; we recommend her highly as a competent and diligent professional.

Keith Wilkey – Seller As a government worker, I have made several moves. Both buying and selling. Within one month of moving into our new home in Reno, I was required to relocate. Obviously, both my wife and I were very upset and knew we needed help getting the best price for our home. Upon a colleague’s recommendation, we chose Ms. Christen. From our first interaction with her to the final close, we couldn’t have been more pleased. I found her to be a good listener, fair, kind and compassionate. The care she showed my wife in that difficult time was beyond any comparison.

Marie Munson – Buyer Caren Christen was recommended to help us find our new house in Reno. What a great recommendation!! Caren listened to what we were looking for in a home, the location, the price point and our personalities and interests. She invested a lot of her time getting to know us as clients, making sure we received up to date listings and being very creative and flexible in scheduling showings that accommodated our work and out of town living situation. Caren delivered on all our “must haves” and we have a beautiful home! Throughout all of this, Caren prioritized our needs and maintained an open, available and consistent means of communication…even when we took a 2-week vacation right in the middle of escrow. Caren is a very dedicated and experienced Real Estate Professional, we highly recommend her.

Tracy Hartwick – Buyer & Seller In January 2010, I purchased a property in Reno, Nevada. This was far from straightforward as I was living overseas and earning income in a foreign currency. Caren provided exemplary service. What might have proved an extremely stressful venture became, at times, even quite enjoyable, and things would not have come to fruition without her knowledge, efficiency, professionalism, and care. She was consistently cheerful and upbeat, and remained positive and encouraging. Her local knowledge and expertise continue to remain invaluable.

Carl Morrow – Seller & Buyer Caren Christen is a consummate professional. Caren’s attention to detail is unmatched. She is aggressive, and her sense of follow-through is superb. Whenever we had a question or concern, she returned our calls promptly and efficiently. Caren treats her clients respectfully, and her demeanor is positive and motivated. We knew from the first meeting that we chose the right Realtor.

June Benedetti – Seller & Buyer I highly recommend Caren Christen. Caren is professional, experienced, and thoughtful. She was always on time, very responsive, and worked tirelessly to bring our transaction to a close. We had a very long and stressful home sale with so many twists and turns that we almost lost our new house. Caren was my calming force. Her experience ensured that our house sold for its worth. Unlike other realtors we interviewed, she knew the value and realized the love and investment we put into our home. We had multiple offers, and Caren made sure that the right family made it their new home. We are very grateful to Caren.

Jack Svhan – Seller & Buyer Caren Christen has been our agent both on the buying side and on the selling side. In a time of difficulty for the residential real estate market, Caren persevered. She never gave up on finding us just the right house. She understood our requirements and did not waste our time. When we found our new home (a short sale), Caren guided us through the process in a cheerful and professional manner. Selling our old home was not an easy task in the current market either, but Caren remained confident in finding that buyer. I can certainly recommend her to anyone contemplating a real estate transaction.

Kambiz Alie – Seller & Buyer Ms. Christen has represented our family on four occasions. She is extremely perceptive in identifying your needs, style, wants and preferences. She is always on top of her game, responsible, hardworking and professional. Ms. Christen is resourceful, courteous, caring and always available to provide mindful and well-rounded advice. We highly recommend her to anyone interested in purchasing any type of property. She is a true gem.

Preston Jones - Seller Caren was a pleasure to deal with on the sale of my home. She was very professional in keeping me updated on market activity and fully representing, promoting, and marketing my property. She guided the sale process through a smooth closing very well. She managed the buyer’s agent as well, without bothering me with unacceptable requests. I highly recommend her services.
