Lisa Chan Carnazzo

We worked with Lisa to help us secure a home in Piedmont. We were not that familiar with the Piedmont market and Lisa helped fill in all the blanks. She was in constant contact about houses coming to the market that fit our criteria and details of each. When we finally found our dream house, Lisa made sure that nothing was left to chance - her strategy to come in with a strong offer worked PERFECTLY and we are so thrilled. Throughout the whole process, no question or issue was too small for her - it was all worth her time because she truly cares and listens. We have since engaged Lisa to sell our current home because we trust her knowledge, instincts, and strategic thinking. If you're looking for a home in Piedmont or Oakland, I can't recommend Lisa enough!

Lisa helped me sell my home in the Oakland Hills, and after working with her to find my current home, I knew she was the right person to help me through the selling process as well. She made everything feel easy from start to finish. Selling a home I loved and had a hard time letting go of wasn't easy, but Lisa helped me find the right buyer and made the entire experience much less stressful. I really appreciated her attention to detail, her ability to keep me on track, and how she stepped in to handle tasks I simply wasn't able to manage myself. I was especially impressed by the amount of work she put into marketing and showing my home. She truly went above and beyond to make sure it received the attention it deserved. Everything was handled so seamlessly, and I always felt confident that my home was in great hands. Thank you, Lisa, for helping me once again. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

If you are looking to buy in Piedmont, Lisa is the agent for you! Lisa's relationships with other agents in the area gave us a real edge. She knew how to position our offers competitively without overpaying, and her negotiation instincts were spot-on every step of the way. What also set Lisa apart was her responsiveness. She was always reachable and incredibly flexible when it came to scheduling tours, which made the whole process feel much less stressful. But perhaps what we valued most was how she showed up as a true partner in our search. Lisa took the time to really listen to what mattered to us, and as our thinking evolved, she evolved right alongside us, helping us get clear on our priorities without ever pushing her own agenda. If you're buying in Piedmont, you'd be lucky to have her in your corner.

Lisa is an authentic and caring real estate agent who represented us in the sale of our longtime family home. We initially got possessive over the details when freshening up our home to get it market-ready. Once Lisa listened, allayed our concerns and had us trust in the process, we left the details to her. Her communication was great from start to finish. We met in the fall, wanting to sell in the spring. She knew the timing of which day to reveal our house on MLS based on the school calendar and worked backwards to time each piece needed to meet that date. The marketing materials she prepared were exceptional. The social media reels she developed were fun and highlighted the features of our home. Our house was on the market for 12 days and we received multiple offers. We weren’t sure what to expect in this market, but Lisa knows what buyers’ want and we very pleased with the outcome.

I had the advantage of moving to my new home and then assessing what needed to happen to prepare my home for sale. My family and I were completely unprepared to find out how complex it is -sellers we approached said I was not an estate, no desirable inventory and no interest in providing any helpful direction to clear the property. Enter Lisa! A chance conversation at a social event resulted in her referring me to an estate dealer and he was at my home 2 days later to advise us. The generous gesture and prompt attention to followup was so kind and helpful- that is Lisa! My family and I requested that she be the agent to market our home an we were thrilled she accepted! While my home was lovely it was also tired and dated; Lisa had a great sense of what the house needed to be updated and refreshed and she was spot on in her recommendations. Her resources were professional and timely- clean out service, renovations team and staging coordinator did a beautiful job. There were questions and hurdles along the way- (rats? really?) but Lisa handled each roadblock with a can-do attitude and had a fix-it for each dilemma. Result- a stunning makeover of my home, an incredible marketing rollout with ads and video, and multiple offers above asking price. Lisa is a consummate professional- warm and interested in the client she is representing- in this case a family leaving their long time home, a bittersweet time for us-but making us feel so cared for and involved in the transitons to the house that helped it to shine as it did. Lisa was a neighborhood child growing up and Waldo always had a passel of kiddos around. It is a sweet closure that someone who enjoyed our little street's karma as a chld helped bring a new family to Waldo by getting my 1926 home ready for the next 100!

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.
