This was our second purchase/sale experience with Carsten Prause in three years. On both occasions he exceeded our expectations in every way. His professionalism and knowledge are outstanding and he treated us with respect and listened to our ideas and concerns with an open mind before offering his own creative suggestions.Carsten demonstrated great flexibility for showings and open houses and prospective buyers were clearly impressed with him. Carsten selected a great photographer who showcased our house with a stunning presentation of professional images. Carsten's flyers and documents that he created to market our house were beautiful and very impressive.Despite being in the middle of a Covid-related lockdown, Carsten's time consuming marketing efforts resulted in an impressive 3 offers within 10 days of listing, including a full price offer that we accepted.We can't speak highly enough of our experience working with Carsten and highly recommend him.

I recently sold my home and Carsten Prause was my seller's agent. He was extremely professional, attentive, and well-organized. With a challenging market in place, Carsten helped me navigate the process and we sold at a price point near the top of what was expected. Carsten marketed my house very effectively and made the whole cycle easy to navigate, and kept me well informed of the progress and how best to address some of the necessary activities required to bring the home sale to a close. I highly recommend him!

Our experience with Carsten Prause as a Realtor, was extremely positive. Total professionalism, thorough organization, and approachability were delivered in a respectful, friendly manner. He communicated and responded to us as if he worked exclusively for us, always available. He provided well-researched, extensive, comparable homes in our community for reference. He offered sound advice regarding decor, and upgrades that would, or would not help the sale. He employed top notch marketing tools, using the most advanced arial drones, 3-D photography and videography for optimal demonstration of our home which produced over 1,000 online viewings during the first 48 hours. This resulted in multiple offers over asking price within the first 36 hours on the market, one of which was accepted as the final sale after a bidding war. We highly recommend Carsten as a realtor, and would employ him again without hesitation.

After interviewing several realtors, we decided to use Carsten Prause to list our home in the Eagles. We felt that he truly knows the neighborhood and knew how to sell our home quickly and at the price we wanted.He had great communication throughout the entire process and expertly guided us through the inevitable hiccups along the way.After helping us negotiate the contract on our home in the Eagles, he also helped us find and negotiate the purchase of our new home in Cheval.We would not hesitate to recommend Carsten Prause to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Odessa/ Lutz area.
