Carrie McAlister is a top producing East Bay Realtor®, founder of Calia Homes, and Team Leader for the newest Keller Williams office in Berkeley, branded as Bay Area Portfolio.
This is a conversation about the newest Keller Williams office at 2089 Rose St, in Berkeley where my team, The Home Factor, is now housed. Keller Williams has taken a different approach to how this office looks, feels, and operates.
Carrie and I talk about her career to this point, her start in the industry, and her general fondness of the career. We talk about Carrie's own real estate team, Calia Homes, the rise of teams in the past decade, and the brokerages that power them. Keller Williams has a structure and lingo that takes a minute to learn and we go through a breakdown of the various terms. We talk about the intention and goal behind the establishment of the Berkeley office, the Keller Williams culture, and Gary Keller's book The Millionaire Real Estate Agent. We also touch briefly on the word 'Luxury' and its meaning and use in the real estate industry.
Several great local agents get mentioned, among them are David Gunderman, Faye Keogh, Pat Leaper, Claudia Mills, Remy Weinstein, Sara Min Zhao, and Robert Jones.
