Carrie has helped me with all my home buys and sales during the last 14 years. I appreciate her expert advice and knowledge of the housing market! I truly recommend her to anyone that needs help! She never hesitates to answer any questions I may have! Thank you, Carrie!— Kathy S.
I've worked with Carrie on both purchases and sales in the past, and I've always been impressed with her level of knowledge, patience, and individual care. She goes above and beyond to make sure your real estate goals are met and has creative ideas to make that happen. I found her diligence and positive attitude extremely helpful as the current market could discourage any buyer. She didn't give up until we found the right home in one of my favorite neighborhoods! She also answered my questions promptly and helped make a potentially chaotic process much smoother. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to buy or sell in Austin!— Sarah P.
Carrie Mendez is the best! She was thorough and professional and great to work with. She kept us appraised about all aspects of the selling process. Made sure that any concern we had was answered right away. She was honest and forthright - no games. Our house was on the market for less than a week and she was able to get more than the asking price. Her guidance and help were very much appreciated. We will definitely refer family and friends to her and her real estate team!— Felipe G.
Can I give more than 5 stars? This gal went above and beyond in every way when we decided to buy our first investment property. She was listening so well, that I bought the house she found, rather than any other house I found. And that's just the start! She was helpful through every stage, making this entire process easy for myself and my husband. We will most certainly be using her again! I have been recommending her as much as possible to friends and family.— Rebekah
We have bought and sold with Carrie several times over the past 7 years, and every time she has provided the absolute best guidance and support. She is always incredibly responsive, and she makes you feel as if you are her only client despite her busy schedule. Our most recent sale with Carrie was of our primary residence in Austin during the pandemic while we moved to Europe. She made an incredibly stressful process go seamlessly from start to finish. Whether it was checking in on the upgrades being done to the house before listing, to managing repairs needed after inspection, all the way to the actual closing on the property. We could not have bee...— Bayley C.
Carrie works in a highly competitive market serving the Austin area. To succeed in this market requires an ability to anticipate and respond quickly with knowledge based on facts, not the prediction, and the ability to not fall prey to the stressors that no doubt come with this level of competition. I sold my house and hardly lifted a finger, except to sign the closing papers. Carrie's active listening skills will play to your advantage; she knows her stuff. I've moved from Texas, and I wish I could have taken her with me. She's that good.— Haven L.
Carrie was my agent in the process of selling and buying a new house. This process was a smooth and enjoyable experience, even with the housing market at this time. Carrie truly cares and listens to your needs and wants. She also went above and beyond to make sure that I had all the information I needed, and she answered all my questions, so I could make the right decisions. She was always available to answer my questions, and she showed me houses that I was interested in. She was thorough and professional, and wonderful to work with. Carrie is such a caring Realtor® and has a good vision. She was patient, kind, and positive. I really appreciate her...— MariCarmen G.
We loved working with Stacie! She found us the home of our dreams and worked diligently to show us all of the properties that were available. We highly recommend her as your future Realtor® in Austin, TX!— Pete & Embry

Carrie was extremely responsive to our questions and concerns. Her professionalism and knowledge was top notch! We love our new home and thank Carrie for all her help!— John & Sheri

I would highly recommend Carrie to anyone looking to buy a home in Austin.— Allie & Gabriel
I've worked with Carrie Mendez for the past three years as I've looked for the perfect Austin starter home. Regardless if I got the house after offers or just inquired her expertise, Carrie has always been very patient and brings her almost fifteen years of experience in the Austin market to the table to help me make the best decisions. When I did find my perfect home, Carrie was extremely helpful, walking me through the process, quick to respond, and doesn't hesitate to get my questions answered if I had them. Thank you, Carrie!— Kelly L.
The best agent we have ever dealt with. She was very knowledgeable, caring, and on top of things. Our house sold quickly and looked amazing for pictures.— Darlene S.
I had a great experience with Carrie. She is knowledgeable about the process, understands the market very well, is very responsive and super easy to work with! I would highly recommend her work. I feel grateful for all of her hard work and diligence. Her responses were always fast and her knowledge helped us navigate a sales process that was challenging at times. It was a real pleasure to work with her and her positive attitude!— Mark T.
We’ve known Carrie since we moved to Austin in 2016, and she helped us buy our house. Since we were new to Austin, we relied on Carrie to help us find any services we needed, and she always came through with quality recommendations. When we decided to sell, we naturally wanted to have Carrie represent us. She advised us for our preparation and guided us through the sale and closing. We would always want Carrie to represent us in any real estate transactions in Austin and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Austin area.— Don L.
Carrie has been my Realtor® for over 12 years now. She has helped us buy, sell, lease and most recently helped us buy a lot and secure the contract for a semi-custom build on that lot. What I love best about her, is that she is very calm, and understands exactly what I need, without letting emotions taking over. This process has always been very emotional for me and she always helps me rationally see the pros and cons of every situation, so that I can make the best decision. She has the market knowledge and takes the time to understand her clients' needs. When I was looking to buy an investment property, even though we had already looked at one hous...— Gabriela M.
Carrie, we could not have accomplished this short-term lease and property purchase without your impeccable care, patience, kindness and superior knowledge of Austin Real Estate! You have remained steadfast in your willingness to help us find the right home even when bumps and walls got in our way. God bless you and your lovely family, Carrie - we remain forever grateful— Barb & Rob
Simply put, Carrie is the best Realtor® we've worked with, in Illinois, NYC or Texas. She's smart, kind and intuitive. She gets the market and really knows what to look for even before you're able to articulate it yourself. Call her, you won't be disappointed.— Charlie & Liz
Carrie was a joy to work with. We put together a very unique real estate deal that included a significant amount of work that needed to be done on the property before close. Carrie went out of her way to research permits and land surveys to make sure that we correctly evaluated the property, and could move forward with confidence. It is hard to not become emotionally involved when you find a property that you really love, and Carrie was a great sounding board helping us evaluate whether the risk was worth the reward - especially for a fixer-upper. The construction caused our deal to drag out for over 4 months, and Carrie stayed diligent throughout t...— Blake & Brooke
Carrie was our agent for the sale of our house in Austin, Texas. She was very professional, personal, and worked hard to accomplish our goals. We enjoyed having her as our agent and will recommend her to anyone who is looking for a Great real estate agent. You'll love her! She is definitely 5 stars in our book!— LeeAnn & Chinh D.
Carrie is a true gem in the real estate world. When we moved to Austin, Carrie worked round the clock to make sure our family found the perfect home! She continuously put our minds at ease by answering any questions and concerns throughout the home buying process. Carrie's upbeat and fun-loving personality made her a joy to be around. We not only found a beautiful home but we also made a dear friend. If we are ever in the market to buy or sell a home, we know exactly who to call and who will work endlessly in our best interest. Carrie Mendez not only knows the ins and outs of the real estate game, but she also cares about her clients!— Holly & Dave R.
You will not regret it if you ASK for CARRIE MENDEZ to represent you! She is everything you need in a real estate agent and more. I've been a home buyer four times and have had excellent agents, and I promise that Carrie is impeccable. She is trustworthy, experienced, friendly, and respectful of your needs and situation. Furthermore, I am an out-of-state buyer, and I could not have been more impressed by Carrie's above-and-beyond service of my questions and needs. She prioritizes you. Whether I called, emailed, or texted, in the morning, middle of the busy afternoon, or at night, Carrie would reply in a friendly, professional manner. She is gracious...— Helen H.
Having recently moved to Austin, my wife and I needed an experienced, knowledgeable real estate agent. We were lucky to find Carrie Mendez. Her knowledge and familiarity with the Austin area are tremendous and in the local market that is essential. Several times we went to see new listings and found they already had several offers. She tirelessly continued to search for the right home for us. When we found the house we wanted, Carrie guided us through the closing process, recommending a terrific lender and title company. Just before the closing date, we had a medical emergency, and Carrie arranged for all parties to meet at the hospital to sign pape...— Donald K.
Carrie Mendez found us exactly what we were looking for, in the right part of town for the right price and guided us through the process from offer to closing and beyond. In a very competitive market, where no property worth having stays listed for long, Carrie never made us wait for a response or to jump on an opportunity before it passed by.— David N.
Carrie helped us find and finalize the purchase of two new properties in a short period of time. We ran into some unique problems, which she handled without a hitch. I have worked for major corporations for years and have never known anyone who follows up on everything better than Carrie. She is always cheerful but can be really tough when needed. You can tell by her enthusiasm that she enjoys helping people find what they are looking for.— Linda N.
My experience working with Carrie Mendez was nothing short of excellent, and I would strongly recommend her as a home broker. My story is not unique to this town; after moving my business from the West Coast, I wanted to purchase an above median price multi-bedroom home within proximity to downtown Austin in a seller's market. Carrie puts her clients first. Period. She has in-depth knowledge of Austin and surrounding areas, solid real estate execution skills, is highly responsive and is a tireless advocate of your interests. Her advice was right on the money even running counter to what could generate her a larger or faster sale. Her pre-selected ho...— Christopher C.
Carrie has helped us find our past two homes now. She is the ultimate Realtor® with every desirable attribute wrapped up in one person. In such a hot market, Carrie was able to meet us to look at homes super fast to make sure we did not miss anything. She was extremely flexible and incredibly supportive. Carrie showed us such patience through this process, which took a lot, as we dragged our feet for several months. Carrie also was emotionally supportive through our process of indecision, worries, confusion, and excitement over such a big purchase. She helped to calm our fears and was really \with\" us every step of the way. Carrie has a big heart a...— Sara A.
My wife and I just moved to Austin. The best decision we made by far in planning our move was to work with Carrie Mendez. She begins her bio by stating a personal principle: I believe that a house becomes a home only when you can imagine the story of your life unfolding within its walls. In our case, her principle has translated into our reality. Carrie epitomizes for us what a real estate agent should be and do: her knowledge of the Austin area is encyclopedic; her ability to listen and to understand her clients' needs is exemplary; her professionalism, competence and ethical standards are admirable; and the results she has delivered for us far exc...— Josep & Adriana
Carrie was a huge help in my search for a home, both in renting and buying. Before I moved to Austin, she found me a great downtown condo to live in. After I settled in Austin, Carrie was very patient in helping me find just what I was looking for in terms of a house to buy. When that changed to looking for a condo, she was proactive in helping me to find a place before it went on the market, thereby ensuring that I was the 1st one to put in an offer, which is so important in today's competitive Austin housing market. Thanks, Carrie!— Suzie G.
Carrie is so personable and amazing to work with! She was able to secure two offers within one day of listing. Her responsiveness is top notch, and she was selfless in making sure we have all the answers I needed. I would highly recommend her!— Annie W.
My wife and I accidentally stumbled across this real estate team while we were joy riding the Austin countryside trying to decide where we might live during our transition into the Austin area. We ventured into an open house and met the most wonderful agent. Carrie Mendez was the person who introduced us to the future home we decided to place a bid on. The fact it was one of two we ventured into didn't change the fact she was outstanding during the bid process, inspection, financing, and closing. She handled every detail and ensured a smooth transition. We can't say enough good about Carrie and her work during a difficult transition. We were trying ...— Dr. Jay Z.
Let me begin by saying what an absolute pleasure it was working with Carrie. We were lucky enough to fall in love with the first home we saw, and Carrie was able to help us list our house immediately, so we were able to purchase our dream home. Carrie is incredibly professional and kind. She makes you feel as though you are her only client, always returning emails and calls in a timely manner, even working into the wee hours of the night to close a deal. She is so patient and always takes the time to explain and answer any and every question you may have. We would, without a doubt, recommend Carrie to everyone we know. She is amazing at her job and ...— Andy & Bayley
Over the past 20 years, we've sold a half dozen homes, and Carrie has been hands-down the most professional real estate agent we've dealt with over that time. In addition to being a pleasant person to work with, she has been conscientious with her advice related to the marketing of our home, persistent in following-up for feedback with the various agents who showed our house, and very pro-active in communicating with us from the time we listed our home with her until the final closing of the sale. We are completely satisfied with the services Carrie provided us and strongly recommend her to anyone considering the use of a real estate agent.— Lou & Sandra
We had the pleasure of working with Carrie over a period of two years, as we relocated from out-of-state. The task of searching long-distance for a home in a city we weren't familiar with, was a daunting task, but Carrie's knowledge of the many diverse areas in and around Austin made the search a manageable, and even an enjoyable one. She spent many hours with us and was always patient and encouraging, convinced that we'd find just the right house. She communicated with us on a regular basis via email and phone and always made herself available when we were in town. She is professional, personable, and just an overall pleasant person to work with.— Kathryn & Jeremy R.
What a pleasure it has been to work with Carrie Mendez. We have had the opportunity to purchase and sell many houses during our lives but have never experienced such professionalism and attention to detail that Carrie provided during the purchase of our house in Austin. From the early stages of identifying potential properties in Austin from our home in Lexington, Kentucky, using online search capabilities, to the efficient process of selecting the right property on short visits to Austin, Carrie was a pleasure to work with and was always available when we needed her to fit our busy schedule. To have her link us to the right people to renovate our h...— Drs. John & Karen N.
Carrie has assisted us with buying and selling several of our family's houses. Carrie is very professional, always on time and answers all emails in a timely manner. She is very patient and kind. Carrie takes time to explain contracts and goes out of her way to help you with finding and buying a house. I have found that Carrie not only loves what she does, she loves to help others. I would not hesitate in using her reality expertise again!— Maria S.
Our first experience of buying a house in Austin Texas was a very wonderful experience for both my husband and myself. Carrie and her team are such a treasure to work with! If we ever have a need of buying another home; rest assured, I will be calling Carrie! Thanks so much for all of your help!— Michael & Tracy M.
Carrie was instrumental in finding the house we bought and was highly involved in helping us negotiate the price we were willing to pay. Would recommend to anyone looking for a house in the Austin area.— Bill & Patty L.
My experience with Carrie has been positive. We originally were looking at the Dripping Springs to Lakeway area. Carrie showed us a number of houses and provided us with the information we needed to eliminate those areas. After we said goodbye to Carrie, we continued our explorations to the north of Austin. We discovered Travisso on our own and decided to purchase a lot and build a Toll Bros home. When asked if we had a Realtor® working with us, we decided to list Carrie as our Realtor® based on our experience with her. She has been very diligent in trying to add value to our home building project and keeping us apprised of local valuations and even...— David E.
I have worked with Carrie on several real estate deals, and she has always provided exemplary customer service. She is responsive, attentive, knowledgeable about the industry, and willing to serve her clients; however, they wish. She is excellent, and I would recommend her to anybody looking for a great Realtor®.— Mark T.
