Carmen McCracken - Realtor in Richmond | RE-MAX Westcoast Real Estate Agent

Carmen is committed to finding the perfect home for her clients. She goes out of her way to dot the "i's" and "cross the t's" to ensure that her clients purchase with confidence. Carmen hired our company, Northwood Home Inspections to make sure that the property her client's were interested in was in good condition. Carmen wanted to know the good the bad and the ugly because she didn't want her clients to be blindsided. A professional to work with and a pleasure to know.

Carmen is an amazing realtor out of Richmond who is honest and transparent with her work. She has a very friendly vibe that makes you feel comfortable when you're around her, it almost feels like you're having a regular conversation with a friend. One of my favourite things about her is the great attitude she brings to every interaction! I'd highly recommend Carmen to anyone looking at buying or selling a home.

Prior to my retirement as a senior mortgage broker with Invis Inc., I had the good fortune of working with Carmen McCracken for many years assisting her clients with their mortgage financing. It was always a pleasure working with Carmen. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and timely delivery of documents ensured the transaction progressed smoothly from beginning to end. Clients were always kept informed as to the status of the transaction and subject clauses were routinely removed on time as required. This allowed me to focus on my primary task of securing the mortgage product which best met the client's needs. While Carmen's years of experience and expert negotiation skills were evident from the beginning, I believe it was her outstanding service and innate integrity which set her apart. Acting in the client's best interests was always paramount and so it was not surprising her clients repeatedly sought her services and regularly referred family and friends. For these reasons, I sincerely believe choosing Carmen as your Realtor would be one of the best decisions you could make when seeking an experienced and dedicated real estate professional.

We have used Carmen as a realtor for two sales in Richmond and three purchases - in Richmond, downtown Vancouver and on Vancouver Island. She has always been extremely professional and has been successful in selling both of our properties quickly. She marketed both properties very well using not only the traditional methods but also social media and online techniques. She has completely informed us of everything that is going on and that needs to be done to present our properties in the most attractive way. She is extremely knowledgeable in all matters pertaining to residential real estate and liaises very well with other real estate agents and our notaries. Our most recent sale generated multiple offers and resulted in a sale price 5% above the asking price. This was handled very well by Carmen and we were delighted with the result. When we were looking for a property to buy seven years ago, she was very patient with us since we were not sure of exactly what we wanted. In the end, we found the condo that was perfect for us.

I have known Carmen for many years as she helped me purchase my first home during an extremely competitive time in the market. With her help, I was the successful purchaser against 11 offers, seven of them being subject-free offers. A process that as a first time homebuyer was made seamless because I had Carmen on my side and I could not have picked a better real estate agent to represent me! Most recently, Carmen helped me sell the same apartment for more than asking and after just four days of being listed! I received multiple offers on the day offers were due. This is a true testament to Carmen’s extensive knowledge of the real estate industry, her diligence and hard work ethic. Around the same time of selling the apartment, Carmen also helped my husband and I purchase our first home together during another competitive time in the real estate market. With her guidance, creativity and insight to set us apart as buyers. we were the successful purchasers of the house which had only been listed for just two days on the market! I have worked with Carmen for all of my real estate needs and there isn’t anyone else I would have chosen to work with. Her transparency, positive outlook, keen sense of the market, care for her clients and always being available to her clients for questions or viewings, makes her one of the best in her field. I would highly recommend Carmen to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home - it will be the best decision you make on your real estate journey!

My partner and I bought our first apartment in Vancouver this past week with Carmen as our agent, and we couldn’t be happier with the service she provided! As first time buyers in a competitive market, it was important to work with someone patient, transparent and attentive; Carmen exceeded all of our expectations. She’s professional and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to real estate in the lower mainland - she often knew more about the properties we were viewing than the seller’s agent themselves. When it came time to submit offers, she was creative in the way she tried to appeal to the sellers, which ultimately led to an accepted offer on an apartment we’re thrilled with. She made sure we fully understood all aspects of our real estate transaction, was always available for questions and viewings, and was unfailingly reassuring when we had disappointments along the way. It's obvious that Carmen genuinely cares, and gives her full attention to her relationships with her clients. Ultimately, we’re so happy with the apartment we found and are so grateful to have found an agent like Carmen.

Selling the home that you have lived in for nearly 40 years can be one of the most stressful experiences of your life. Add to that then finding the perfect home to spend the rest of your life, the stress factor doubles. Fortunately, we had the ideal realtor for this situation, Carmen McCracken who made this experience as stress free as possible. She calmly guided us seamlessly through the current fast paced and in-demand real estate market of Greater Vancouver. Her in-depth knowledge, professionalism and innate ability to understand and respect our needs was integral in helping us find our new forever home. Carmen was totally in sync with us throughout the process, she worked with us and not for us. She was able to negotiate the best price for our house but also and more importantly found us a perfect home within our realized budget. Not an easy feat in today’s market. We are more than happy to recommend Carmen to anyone looking to buy or sell a home and wants to work with an insightful and knowledgeable realtor.

We just wanted to say thank you for being such a pleasure to work with. From the moment we met Carmen at an open house we knew that we wanted her to be our listing realtor. She truly went above and beyond our expectations, from the marketing and prepping of our home to ensuring that we had the most highly-visible advertising coverage for our property, we couldn't have asked for anything more! Carmen is an extremely professional realtor with great attention to detail and she works very hard to achieve the very best results. I would not hesitate to recommend her to family & friends and I would surely use her again in the future! We knew Carmen would be able to sell our home for the best price and we are very happy with the results. If you're looking to buy or sell, look no further than Carmen McCracken.
