Lisa Carnazzo

We recently worked with Lisa for the second time, this time to sell our home in Montclair. Once again, she delivered incredible results. From the beginning, Lisa took ownership of the entire process end to end. She coordinated inspections, repairs, cleaning, staging, photography, and all the countless details that come with preparing a home for sale. It made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and organized. One thing that stood out was how proactive and resourceful she was when unexpected issues came up. For example, after a particularly large storm, we discovered a minor roof issue 2 days before offers were due. Lisa jumped into action, getting multiple roofers out the very next day so we could quickly understand the problem and address it before offers were due. Her fast response helped reassure potential buyers and likely contributed to at least one additional offer. Lisa also did a remarkable job marketing our home. Through her network and outreach, our listing gained major attention online, including going viral on TikTok. As a result, our open houses were packed with 60+ groups each day. Despite a challenging market for sellers in Oakland right now, we received 8 offers and ultimately sold significantly above asking (and even above our own hopeful expectations). Throughout the process, Lisa was highly engaged and communicative, checking in frequently with updates. Most importantly, Lisa got results while making a stressful process quite simple for us. If you're looking for someone who knows the Montclair and Piedmont markets and will truly roll up their sleeves for you, we highly recommend working with her.

Working with Lisa was an incredible experience from start to finish. She truly knows the ins and outs of the Piedmont market and helped us navigate an extremely competitive buying process with confidence. She was responsive, honest, strategic, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout every step — from evaluating disclosures and inspections to helping us understand pricing, timing, and what it would take to submit a strong offer in this market. We always felt like we were in good hands. What stood out most was how well she understood the local market and community. Her experience and guidance were invaluable, and we genuinely do not think we would have found our dream home without her. We’re so grateful for all of her hard work and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy in Piedmont or the East Bay.

Lisa is hands on from start to finish. She's communicative and knows what buyers are looking for. If you're willing to pass the keys and follow her lead she will not disappoint. There are very few realtors who work as hard as Lisa does. She is thoughtful, attentive to every detail be it staging, open houses, or contract negotiations. We are lucky to have called Lisa our friend before we opted to work with her and we are so grateful we did.

Working with Lisa was truly an exceptional experience, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her by our side throughout this journey. This home purchase wasn’t just another transaction for us—it meant bringing our family closer together in the most meaningful way. Being able to help my mother move onto our street, so she can be part of her grandchildren’s everyday lives, is something we will cherish forever. Lisa understood how important this was from the very beginning. She approached every step with care, dedication, and a deep sense of commitment to our goal. In a competitive situation, she guided us with clarity and confidence, and her expertise is ultimately what helped us secure the home. Without her, we truly don’t believe this dream would have become a reality. What sets Lisa apart is not just her professionalism, but the trust she builds. We always felt she had our best interests at heart, and that peace of mind made all the difference during such an emotional and high-stakes process. We are beyond grateful for Lisa’s support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for not just a great agent, but a true partner in one of life’s most important moments.

Lisa is a gem of an agent who truly puts in her all for her clients. As first-time homebuyers we really depended on Lisa to educate us through every step of the homebuying process and appreciated her clear communication and deep knowledge of all things Bay Area real estate. Her insights on the market dynamics around the East Bay were invaluable in helping us quickly hone in on the types of houses and neighborhoods that would be a good fit for us. Her enthusiastic and caring attitude make her a pleasure to work with and we immediately felt like we were in good hands in this hyper-competitive market. When it came time to put in offers Lisa was a superstar whose speed, responsiveness and thoroughness were key to helping us land a house we love. She was happy to arrange showings for us at a moments notice, walk us through pages of disclosures, and guide us in writing a very competitive and comprehensive offer. What stood out the most about Lisa throughout the process was her professionalism and hard-work. When we first were interviewing agents Lisa talked about how she does 'everything possible' to help her clients get the house and she really delivered - proactively learning what the sellers were looking for, crafting an offer that met their needs, and keeping in constant communication throughout. The closing process also went super smoothly thanks to her guidance and proactiveness at every step. We were thrilled to get the first offer we made accepted on a great home in our dream location and truly could not have done it without Lisa.

Lisa brings a rare combination of deep market knowledge and strong local connections, and it shows. From the start, she had a sharp read on pricing, neighborhoods, and timing, and she clearly knew the right people to call at the right moments. Beyond that, her friendly, professional demeanor made the entire process feel smooth and human rather than stressful or transactional. What really impressed us was how quickly Lisa picked up on our taste. She seemed to intuitively understand what we were looking for, while also helping us manage expectations with honesty and good judgment. The result was guidance that felt both optimistic and grounded. Smart, connected, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.
