Lucky enough to have been raised in Bozeman, Carissa's professional background includes years working in subdivision development and residential and commercial construction. Her background offers invaluable perspective while providing a comprehensive and superior ability to guide her clients to achieve their real estate goals.

Outside of work, Carissa is an avid outdoors woman and likes to spend her time in the mountains either horseback, hiking, biking, running, fishing or skiing and snowboarding with her two kids. They live near the historic mill town of Gallatin Gateway, just outside Bozeman. Growing up, Carissa was actively involved her family's real estate and construction businesses - her father was a general contractor and property developer while her mother was (and still is) a Broker/Realtor® . . . you could say the business is in her blood.

Sales Associate, CRS, ABR, PSA
Distinctive Properties, Institute for Luxury CLHMS™ & GUILD™
Earning recognition as a top-producing agent, Carissa understands not only that buying and selling real estate is one of the greatest financial decisions you make in life but also, that there are other aspects beyond the look and feel of a property that can put one years ahead financially. With her knowledge of the area, she provides a practical and grounded approach to real estate, making your decision to buy or sell, a confident, and fully educated, decision. From the current market to every stage of the real estate transaction, she is an ultimate resource.
Carissa facilitates the buying and selling process as your partner, not as a salesperson, as, in the end, she believes that her client's satisfaction is all that really matters. As an alumnus of both Bozeman High School and Montana State University, Carissa has a notable passion and pride for Bozeman; the area's beauty, its sense of community, the lifestyle it offers, and its future as it continues to flourish with new energy and dynamic growth. It is her mission to give back to her community and to her clients, "I love Montana and the lifestyle it offers. I count myself fortunate to have grown up in Bozeman and to continue to call it HOME. Ultimately, I want my clients and their families to have what I have - a home that I love, in a place that I love. To accomplish this I remain determined and hands-on with each sale from start to finish—and do everything possible to make sure my clients find exactly what they are looking for. Being a home/property owner, I realize that the investment my clients make in real estate is one of the biggest and most important investments in their lives. I understand my clients have unique needs, as well as desires, and work closely with every client to understand THEIR goals, to meet THEIR needs, and to create a lasting relationship. As such, I don't take my responsibility lightly and promise to go the extra mile for my buyers and sellers. My Bozeman background offers a grounded network of friends and business relationships. My knowledge of the area lends me to be a valuable local resource. If you are considering putting your property on the market, purchasing a home, or investing in local real estate, regardless of property type or price point, I would love to streamline and simplify the process for you. I understand the key components that make for successful purchase and sale of residential, land and recreational properties."

Mary & Ryan Black
Buying my first home was a decision that was not to be taken lightly in any respect and Carissa was there for support every step of the way. My husband and I were new parents and henceforth fairly stressed out, Carissa made the process incredibly easy and stress free. Every time I had a question, Carissa would get back to me right away. If a problem arose, she knew exactly how to trouble shoot the issue. She is a wonderful asset to ERA Landmark, I look forward to recommending her to my friends who are in need of an amazing Realtor who goes above and beyond for her clients.
Lisa Pickens
Carissa was knowledgeable, ethical, and worked through the process on two other home buy/sells that fell through. Despite having to "travel" with us to find the right home, she was ready with a smile and quick to act when we needed a quick close.
Steven and Joanne Gores
Carissa was very professional, but at the same time made us feel like friends. She showed a personal interest, and called periodically just to see how we were doing preparing for our move. She kept us up to speed on what was happening, and always gave us plenty of notice when someone needed to come through the house. We have sold 7 other homes in the past and this was by far our best experience!
Randall & Brenda Lynch
We started our home buying journey with Carissa 2 years ago and she never gave up or left us hanging. From the bottom of our hearts thank you, Carrisa, for the great job you do day in and day out.

Skylar McDowell
Carissa is amazing! She is very knowledgeable of the area and has great connections with local contractors, lenders, inspectors, etc. She went above and beyond to make sure our offer stood out from the others. She negotiated and jumped through all of the hoops amazingly well with a difficult seller. She responds very quickly and had a lot of patience with us throughout the entire process. We just recently located to Bozeman, and she spent an entire day showing and educating us on the Bozeman neighborhoods.
Spencer Bellew
Carissa did a great job for us. She was very professional, honest and always returned any calls promptly. She did such a great job, that I used her to sell our old home. She went above and beyond any other realtor I have used in the past. Her pleasant but driven personality, made our house selling experience as easy as can be.

Carissa was amazing to work with throughout our buying process! She was patient with us and was always extremely quick to act when a potential property became available. She was constantly working to understand what was really going to make us happy and never pressured us into any sort of decision or commitment- our timeline was her timeline. Carissa was particularly helpful to work with because of her local knowledge and understanding of the market. Having someone who was from this area and who knew the individual sellers, agents, and supporting resources made us feel confident that we were going to end up with a great property at the best possible price!

Carissa was absolutely amazing in helping us find our first home! She answered all of our (many!) questions and was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and helpful throughout the process. She listened to what we wanted and helped us bring our dream to reality-- we were looking for something unique and set up for horses, she was the perfect resource. We are so grateful we met her and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the area.
Sage Reed Cowles
Carissa has been an excellent real estate agent to work with on every level. We live out of state and were looking for a second home in Bozeman. Carissa has great knowledge of the Bozeman market and various neighborhoods, and was even able to help us learn about future development (schools, parks, etc.) in the areas that we were considering, to help with our decision. We had to do our whole home search and purchase remotely, and Carissa went above and beyond in helping us with things like virtual property tours, handling property inspections, and being our primary liaison with the builder of our development. She even got kudos from our mortgage banker, who said she helped to keep the whole selling process moving along, especially when we had communication and follow through issues with the builder. She has been extremely responsive to all of our questions and has been a wealth of information for establishing a new home in a city we do not know well yet. She is positive and friendly, and has a get r' done attitude that I appreciate! I would highly recommend Carissa.
