Caren Christen

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"She made us feel like we and our needs really mattered to her."

"The services including home sales, to us, and the loan we needed, were handled extremely well. We would have no hesitation recommending Chase to anyone."

"I had a great experience working with Caren Cristen to find my new home. She listened to my requirements and found several homes to see. I appreciate the way she clearly explained the the closing process and costs."

"Caren was great helping us to sell our older house that had not been updated for sometime. She rose to the challenge and got it sold with minimal fuss. We are very happy with a job well done."

"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."

"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 looking at properties that did not meet them. 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 no easy task in the current market either, but Caren remained confident to find that buyer. I can certainly recommend her to anyone contemplating a real estate transaction."

"Caren help me with an incredibly long house search in the Reno area. I was moving from San Jose, CA, and I knew very little about the Reno area. It took 10 months and about 70 homes. Caren was very, very, patient and we found the right home in north Carson City. Caren is extremely knowledgeable about the Reno, Sparks, and Carson City area. Caren knows process and handled the entire transaction. I can only recommend Caren in the highest way."

"Caren is one of the most patient, diligent, and competent people I have ever worked with, regardless of profession. She helped us navigate the purchase of our dream home AND the sale of our home in the worst time of year to try to sell--the holiday season. Caren ensured that everything went as smoothly as possible. When we temporarily lost the opportunity to purchase the home we wanted, she helped us quickly find alternatives to look at. Because of her perseverance, we were able to eventually close on the house we've always wanted. Her calming demeanor really helped us through those trying times, dozens of showings and several open houses. I can't recommend her highly enough."

"In the real estate business the term professional gets thrown around way too often. Caren Christen is someone whom I whole heartily believe is deserving of the tittle Professional. I waited 4 months to write this review to let the honeymoon phase of my house purchase pass. From day one Caren treated me with the upmost respect and professionalism. Her knowledge about the local market and housing trends is astounding and unmatched. Without her advice and strategy I would have been outbid on my house. The day my house went on the market she met with me to show the house, drew up an offer and hand delivered the offer after business hours to the seller's agent. The owners accepted the offer before multiple offers flooded the property the very next day! When 1 am ready to purchase my second house Caren Christen will be my agent."

"Caren Christen came highly recommended as a knowledgeable and reliable agent. She met with us prepared with comps and all the necessary information to get the ball rolling. An offer was given within a few days and I was ready to jump on it. However Caren coached me to be patient and counter at the amount that reflected the area comps. We closed with our asking piece about within 2 weeks! I highly recommend Caren Christen as an honest, knowledgeable and an extremely professional realtor!"

"Caren Christen is a consummate professional. Caren's level to detail is unmatched. Caren is aggressive and her sense of follow through is superb. Whenever we had a question or concern, she returns our calls promptly and efficiently. Caren's appearance reflects one of an experienced, confident and professional Realtor, like she is. Caren treats her clients respectfully and her demeanor is positive and motivated. We knew from the first meeting with Caren, that we chose the right person as our Realtor. We are very pleased that we chose Caren Christen to represent us as our Realtor."

"She made the whole process virtually painless. Having spent almost two years looking for a home and going thru 4 -5 real estate agents, I was skeptical of the whole agent pool in Reno. Caren found the house. I never saw the place in the MLS. She called me the day before Thanksgiving took time to show me the house when she was trying to prepare dinner for the next day and had my offer accepted the day after Thanksgiving! There is no better agent in the area!!!"

"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 it's 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, and we are confident that we chose the right Realtor."

"I've been in real estate for many years and have conducted numerous real estate transactions in the Reno area with Caren. As a relator she performs better than anybody I have used in the past. Her attention to detail and her knowledgeable background makes the process unproblematic and guarantees a successful outcome. I would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to anyone."

"In July 2023, I was able to work with Caren Christen, for the second time, in a real estate transaction. Back in 2010, Caren Christen, helped me with the purchase of my first home buying experience. The experience had been so positive and successful, 13 years later, I would again, turn back to her for guidance in the sale of the same property. Once again, she made the adventure a stress free, delightful learning experience for me. Her vast knowledge of home preparation helped me set up my home to be attractive to potential buyers. Her suggestions, no matter how small the detail, were always insightful, which led to a fast sale of the property. Her attention to research of the current neighborhood sales, and highlighting the improvements made to the property, all helped to set a profitable gain for me. Caren knew that I planned to relocate to another state. She reached out to another real estate colleague, to set me up with an introduction to another realtor. This led to another successful real estate purchase. I have no hesitation to recommend Caren Christen as a realtor to anyone."

"In January 2010, I purchased a property in Reno Nevada. This was far from straight forward as I was living overseas and earning income in a foreign currency. Caren provided an exemplary service. She was efficient and well-prepared at all times, promptly returning phone calls and e-mails, and answering a myriad of questions concerning bank-owned properties, short sales and foreclosures. 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."

"Caren has helped me with both selling and buying homes and she is amazing. Her attention to detail related to contracts sets her apart from many agents. She is always professional and will share what needs to be shared about a property as opposed to what a buyer or seller wants to hear. She cares about her clients and she is ethical. I am grateful for Caren’s real estate expertise and help!"

"Caren is the best realtor I have ever had. I was at the verge of losing my home being built by toll brothers as the interest rates continued to climb. Being in contract with them, I would have lost all of my money already into the project. No bank locally was willing to back me up and they all continue to request a cosigner which I didn’t have. I expressed my concerns and Caren was so full of resources, and got me connected with a broker that ultimately connected me with a bank that supported me with the best interest rates without a cosigner. If it wasn’t for Caren and her devoted willingness to help this deal would have fallen off. She is my life saver!"

"Caren Christen is simply the best!"
