“This is the 3rd time we've used Carla as our realtor, and I can't say enough positive things about our most recent home buying experience. Carla was always a quick phone call/text away and very responsive. She helped us negotiate our offer to stay within budget and also convinced us to ask for an insurance adjuster to look at the roof post home inspection. To our delight, we ended up getting a new roof paid for by the sellers insurance due to hail damage. Carla brings many years of experience and has positive relationships with other local realtors, which was very important to us in the home buying process. Her attention to detail is unmatched. We are grateful for her guidance, time, and commitment to getting us our dream home in the perfect neighborhood for our family.”

“Carla sold us our home when we first moved to Pella seven years ago. She is a great communicator and promptly gets answers to all questions we asked of her. While conducting herself in a professional manner, she is always cheerful and has a wonderful caring spirit about her. We had such a positive experience when we purchased our home in Pella, that we certainly wanted to use her again when we decided to sell our home upon retirement. Regarding the home we just sold, we had to "jump through a time constraint" in order to secure the purchase of a new home we found out of town. Carla immediately went to work on selling our property, knowing we had a very small window of days of being able to secure the purchase of the home we had found. Carla had professional pictures lined up and had our home listed within a few days. She really stayed on top of things all the way through. Our home sold immediately! We are so impressed with her and highly recommend her!”

Her extensive knowledge of the Pella market, her quick response time to any questions or needs, and her guidance and feedback on home tours built our confidence and trust in her understanding of what we wanted.

Within 6 hours of us expressing interest in a home that had just popped onto the market, Carla did a FaceTime tour, submitted an offer and called us with the good news that the sellers accepted! We are in a home we could only dream about thanks to her care, proactiveness and swift action. I would highly recommend Carla!”
