Cari made the selling of my house stress free. Even with my challenging work schedule and necessary travel, the Whole process was easy. I appreciate her professionalism and help during each step and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

Cari is the best realtor in the south sound, hands down. She makes the entire process smooth. We purchased our home in 2017 and sold in 2024. We had Cari help us with both transactions and the processes were so smooth and stress free. If you are in need of a real estate agent and a friend Cari is who you’ll want to work with.

Cari was super helpful and friendly throughout the whole process. We were being very picky about what kind of home we wanted, and she kept sending us listings and showing homes that met our desires. When we finally found The One, she guided us through the inspection process and answered all of our questions. She made a very stressful time a lot easier.

Wonderful, stress-free and painless house purchase experience!
It was a real pleasure working with Cari. As our Realtor, she helped us find the right house, in the right neighborhood, for the right price. She was patient as we traveled through many cities and looking through numerous different styles and types of homes. Cari is extremely responsive to us and was always available to visit houses with us, despite our very busy work schedule.
In short, she was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Cari was that she was always focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, providing extensive knowledge, and finding homes that met our needs. We would recommend her to anyone

It’s been a true pleasure working with Cari. She’s knowledgeable, resourceful, an excellent communicator, patient, and quick to gather information/answers. In addition, she’s friendly and upbeat. She has done her best to ensure that my purchasing process went as smoothly as possible.
I had a very brief search period as we found the house I bought almost immediately. Yet, had it taken longer, it would have been enjoyable.
Should I need a realtor’s services again I would certainly use Cari. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

She also worked quickly to get information we needed. She was incredibly supportive and very personable. We highly recommend her to everyone.

I recently bought a home and my Real Estate Agent, Cari Schwison, was instrumental in helping with the process. From the first day she was knowledgeable, patient, engaging and fun to work with. She’s a great communicator and worked in conjunction with the Mortgage Company and Seller to obtain the best possible contract for me.
I would highly recommend her to family, friends and anyone looking for their next home!

Cari did a wonderful job of helping my family buy our home. There were a lot of curveballs along the way but Cari handled them all well. Cari was kind, professional, and flexible throughout the entire buying process. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

I came in from out of state to sell my mother's house. Cari understood all the constraints I was under, including minimizing my trips to Olympia, not spending too much to fix up the house, getting the house emptied, shipping some items to NY, etc. It fell on her to keep an eye on the estate sale, donation, house and carpet cleaning, etc., and she was very reliable and very helpful when I was not around. She was very good also at keeping me informed and being available to answer my questions along the way. At the beginning, she prepared a good market analysis and provided a notebook of resources that was professional. As a woman, I wanted to work with another female, who was respectful and collegial. Cari was an excellent find, and I would recommend her highly.

Cari was excellent to work with. She was very prompt in responding to our questions and keeping us updated on the progress. Our home was an estate sale which was worrisome to us but Cari handled everything and really made this whole process as smooth as possible! I would definitely recommend Cari to anyone looking for real estate help. Not only was she knowledgeable she was also very kind and a pleasure to work with.

As first-time homebuyers, my partner and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one we had with Cari Schwisow. From start to finish, Cari was incredibly attentive, patient, and always available to answer our questions and guide us through every step of the process. After our first realtor struggled to make time for us, working with Cari was a breath of fresh air, she made us feel like her top priority.
Her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care turned what could have been a stressful process into an exciting and rewarding experience. Thanks to Cari’s hard work and dedication, we found our dream home, and we couldn’t be happier.
If you’re looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond, Cari Schwisow is the one you want in your corner!

Cari was extremely helpful in gathering information for us. She promptly responded to every message that I sent, and almost always either knew the answer off the top of her head or was able to reach out to the person who did know. She was also very effective in scheduling inspections and arranging the timeline of events with the seller, which took a huge lift off our shoulders. I feel like she went above and beyond what was required by her role, and I'm truly thankful for her assistance in purchasing our first home!

Cari was an excellent realtor. She was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, good natured, and professional in every manner. We spent days looking at numerous houses, and she never lost her energy or pleasant smile. She was super knowledgeable about the Olympia Lacey Tumwater area, and was willing to show houses that were outside her area as I was not sure where I wanted to buy a house at. The closing was flawless as was all the document processing. Her taste is impeccable. I can see why she came highly recommended, and now I am happy to recommend her to others as well . Thank you Cari!

Cari is very knowledgeable about the local market and has helped me in two transactions of purchasing and one transaction of selling. She helped make my transition from out of state very easy four years ago and this time helped me to sell that home that I had purchased and procure another home. Her communication and response time is excellent. She goes above and beyond, communicating very frequently with you over the years after transactions and offering any support such as referrals you need for various services at your home. She is just terrific to work with!

This is Me, My Wife, and our Son in front of our very first home. Thanks to Cari we were able to close on our dream of a completely updated finished home in the neighborhood we wanted. After two years of disappointment and six other agents, Cari was able to close our dream home on the first try. Other agents led us astray telling us that we needed to accept a lesser home because we did not have down payment money. Cari showed us that its okay to dream big and make offers on homes we love.

Cari was extremely helpful and responsive to answering our questions. Moving somewhere from out of state is a challenging and stressful process, and I'm glad that Cari was there to help us through it all. She was awesome to help do virtual and in person walk-throughs. We found just the right amount of Washington Quirk in our house. Very reassuring and helped us through every step of the process. A++
Thanks so much!

Cari Schwisow is the best realtor in Thurston County, hands down. She is professional, organized, great with communication and most of all ... she is patient! We could not have done this without her. I would recommend her 100% to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is absolutely amazing to work with!

Cari was amazing, helping us every step of the way. My husband and I were transferred from out of state so we didn’t know the area and Cari answered all of our questions, if she didn’t know the answer right off she would investigate and get us an answer. She was super communicative and always available or got back to us quickly. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I not only gained an experienced realtor but a friend. Thank you Cari we appreciate everything you did for us

Where to start !? Cari went above and beyond to lend me her help and her time to find the right home for me. There were a couple times I got discouraged but she kept me motivated and excited about the situation. I didn’t have anyone to celebrate my new house with but when I received keys Cari took time to be excited for me and with me. I would recommend Cari any day of the year.

Throughout the whole process from start to finish, Cari made herself available to me whenever I had questions or concerns. She always responded quickly via a phone call or an email. The process went smoothly. If you are looking for a kind, thoughtful real estate agent to help you through the road blocks of selling your home I highly recommend you give Cari a call
