Very happy to have worked with Vanessa and saved $7K on the sale of my condo. She was always available, very knowledgeable, and helpful. Additionally she did everything that a 'virtual' realtor would do, and was way more responsive and professional than the buyer's realtor. Also, if you want full service, she only charges 1%!!!!

I worked with Vanessa for the sale of my home. It was an incredibly easy experience and she helped with contract negotiation to make sure everything went smoothly. Dozens of realtors tried to get my home listed with them but with the flat fee we ended up saving nearly $8,000 in commission that we did not have to pay to a sales agent. If you are able to show your own home, schedule your own open houses, and pull comps to set a fair price, going with a flat fee agent like Vanessa is a no brainer. We accepted an offer after 10 days on the MLS and had a dozen showings in the first week. If you are looking for a more hands on approach with the sale of your home I would highly recommend!

Vanessa was the consummate professional, as I’m lacking in computer skills, and was always there to answer questions. I wouldn’t sell a house any other way. She saved me quite a bit, and as a supporter and benefactor of animal causes I have that extra money to go towards them. Thank you Vanessa great job!

When we originally listed FSBO on Zillow last May, we didn't realize our listing didn't easily show up for people who go there (and most do) for their house search. After two weeks, we knew we had to get on the MLS so we'd be visible to Zillow searches AND buyer's realtors. But we'd already done most of the work! So we began to look for a flat fee broker. For a low fee compared to other flat fee brokers, Vanessa at iRealty got us on the MLS immediately, and we had a lot of activity. We sold our house, and were SO thankful not to have to shell out thousands of dollars for a realtor when we'd already done most of the work. Thanks Vanessa!

I have worked with Vanessa at IRealty many times to sell houses. She is efficient, knowledgeable returns calls/emails in a timely fashion and is just great to work with. It is a very inexpensive way to get your home listed on the MLS so more money stays in your pocket. I will use her again!

Vanessa was always promptly responsive, and we were always confident in her opinions and advice. With Vanessa's assistance we were able to sell our home much sooner than we had hoped. I can confidently and enthusiastically recommend Vanessa Carlson to anyone seeking a first-class experience whether buying or selling real estate.

Vanessa is simply the best! She became like a friend to me during this process. She's responsive, smart from years being in the business, offered a great suggestion about listing price, and was a calming and patient voice when I would get stressed out about something. You truly get nearly the same service you would get from a full commission Realtor. I'm in marketing/brand management and selling by owner was one of the best investments/marketing programs I've ever been a part of. Highly recommend a For Sale By Owner MLS listing service like iRealty Flat Fee Brokerage!
