About Carla Shaheed

Since 2009, clients and colleagues throughout the Bay Area have described Carla Shaheed as an understanding partner, a determined ally, and a passionate advocate. A champion of homeownership for all, Carla thrives when she's helping people of diverse backgrounds achieve their dreams. Her clientele includes everyone from first-time and move-up buyers to sellers, retirees, relocators, and military personnel; and her trustworthiness, ethics, and integrity are evident in everything she does. Carla is a proud native of the Bay Area who grew up in Richmond, California, where her mother provided a good example of entrepreneurship, work ethic, and determination. When she was young, Carla watched her mother make sacrifices to improve life for her and her sister. Later in life, Carla realized that her mother made those sacrifices to provide them with lives full of opportunity -- not just things -- and for that, Carla will be forever grateful. Carla has also learned that her mother's sacrifices set her up with the greatest causal factor in success -- determination. When the going gets tough, and most would give up, Carla gets tougher and goes harder. That attitude has made Carla indispensable to her clients, who are mostly repeat and referral buyers and sellers. A title and escrow background, along with Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist (CPRES) and Certified Distressed Property Expert(R) (CDPE) certifications, has also given Carla a holistic understanding of the industry and the expertise to help her clients overcome any real estate obstacle. Additionally, a league of mentors and peers has played an integral role in her clients' success and happiness, as well as her own. Carla holds a bachelor's degree in human development from California State University, East Bay, an accomplishment that took 10 purposeful years to realize while juggling a full-time job and a young family. Her past experiences have shaped her role as a mother as much as a professional.

Tiffany gave us one of the best experiences we could have hoped for. She is prompt, polite, honest, courteous, has a great sense of humor, and is very straight forward. She actively kept up on new listings, answered all of our questions even when they required research, and made lots of great suggestions to help us find our way. We were very new and are first time homebuyers and she really helped us learn what we needed to successfully find what we were looking for.

Carla is an OUTSTANDING AND AMAZING AND CARING Realtor! Once you get to know her and she gets to know you you dont feel like a client she makes you feelnike family! Once she knows your style, you dont have to keep repeating to her the kind of house you want. SHE GETS IT! Me and my husband are so glad we choose her, and you will too. Thank you Carla Much blessings, Constance

Carla is very professional, a wealth of knowledge and a very easy person to work with. I have recommended her to a few colleagues. She showed me a variety of listing within my budget and the options helped be decided which direction I wanted to go in

I just closed on a beautiful home in a highly desirable area of Vallejo after finding and selecting Carla as my realtor online. I knew from our first contact that she was the right realtor for me, as she returned my initial emails and calls with interest, optimism, and a sense of priority. After our initial contact, I found Carla to be both thorough, and thoughtful - never feeling pressured or that she was rushing me through any decisions. She took the time to explain everything to me at every step, even repeating with patience anything I did not quite understand right away. Overall, Carla has very good intuition and was a quick study of me for the type of property I sought based on my lifestyle, commute, and amenity preferences. So our searches were focused, resulting in an accepted offer very soon after we began touring the area. Once we were in contract, I traveled frequently for work, and it was necessary for Carla to meet with family members to keep the transaction moving smoothly, and everyone loved her. With her help, I was able to negotiate a fair price, and a smooth closing to the satisfaction of everyone. So if you are looking in Vallejo, which is still a great, and affordable option in the Bay Area, I cannot recommend Carla enough as a specialist of the city and surrounding area. She will bring excellent customer service, careful due diligence, and compassion to your search. Happy house hunting!
