Buying or selling a home is one of the most significant financial and personal experiences of your life. Choosing the right real estate professional can also make it one of the best experiences of your life. Carla Buffington should know. She had such a good time and an exceptional experience purchasing her first home that she decided to leave a successful career in retail to become a real estate agent.

Carla joined Pacific Union, Montclair Oakland after 18 years with one of the world's largest specialty retailers. When she left retail she was a corporate executive responsible for managing $300 million dollars worth of product and services annually, as well as heading up the corporate contracts team.

Carla's experience in this area allowed her to develop excellent negotiation skills, an in depth knowledge of contracts, and exceptional communication skills, which she combines with her enthusiasm for real estate to service buyers and sellers in Piedmont, Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda.

Carla grew-up in Sacramento and received her BA from UC Davis. She lives in the Upper Rockridge area of Oakland and enjoys all the area has to offer by running, hiking, and dining out at local restaurants. The East Bay is perfect for Carla, as it offers access to nature and great parks while at the same time offering all of the amenities and conveniences of city living. She loves introducing new people to the area and seeing how delighted they are when they discover how wonderful it all is.

Carla's client base consists almost entirely of referrals from clients and other real estate professionals who respect and appreciate her integrity and strong work ethic. She has established herself as an honest, ethical and detailed real estate professional who is dedicated to fulfilling the needs and goals of her clients through clear, consistent communication, an excellent knowledge of neighborhood markets and the industry. Carla provides exceptional client care before, during and after each transaction.
