Carrie Goodman manages every transaction as if it were her own home or investment. From preparation and marketing to pricing, negotiation, and execution, no detail is overlooked. She is widely recognized for her command of market data, pricing strategy, and inventory analysis—and for helping clients identify future value others may miss. In a highly competitive market, results depend on more than expertise.
 
Approximately 30% of Carrie’s business is conducted off market each year, reflecting the depth of her professional relationships and reputation among peers. Her ability to assemble and lead the right team is central to her consistently successful outcomes.
 
Consistently ranked among the Sotheby’s International Realty Top 100 agents worldwide, Carrie brings both global perspective and hyper-local insight to every transaction. A fourth-generation Bay Area native from a family of real estate professionals, builders, and developers, she understands San Francisco at a generational level. Having raised a family in the city, she brings firsthand knowledge of its neighborhoods, schools, and complexities.
 
Outside of work, Carrie enjoys long walks, hikes, the occasional round of golf, and time on the Greenwich Steps with her Goldendoodle, Maverick. She loves hosting big dinners with friends, great music, cooking, and weekends in wine country. Above all, Carrie is deeply family-oriented and passionate about bringing people together.

Joie (pronounced “Joey”) joined the team in 2021, bringing years of experience supporting and managing high-value real estate transactions totaling hundreds of millions of dollars across SF.
 
Known for her strategic, detail-driven approach, she ensures each listing is thoughtfully prepared, expertly marketed, and carried through with precision from start to finish. Joie has a natural talent for orchestrating timelines and managing the many moving parts of a transaction, keeping the process smooth, organized, and low-stress for clients. She works closely with buyers and sellers through clear, hands-on communication, drawing on her deep knowledge of the SF market, local trends, and strong marketing and project-management skills to  achieve the best possible outcomes.
 
A Marin County native, Joie has long viewed San Francisco as an extension of home—an appreciation shaped by the city’s distinctive architecture, neighborhoods, and character. Outside of real estate, she can often be found walking or running through Cow Hollow, practicing yoga, discovering new restaurants around the city, or spending time with family, friends, and her dog, Jordy.

Kate believes the best results come from preparation, not pressure. Her hands-on, detail-driven style helps buyers and sellers navigate every step with clarity, ensuring nothing has been overlooked.


Before representing buyers and sellers, Kate spent more than a decade marketing some of San Francisco's most notable properties as Public Relations Director at McGuire Real Estate, a century-old brokerage founded in the city. Working alongside many of San Francisco's most respected agents, she built lasting relationships and gained invaluable mentorship that continues to shape the way she advises and advocates for her clients today.


For sellers, Kate begins with a comprehensive market analysis and tailored pricing strategy, then coordinates every stage of the listing process with a trusted network of vendors. From pre-listing preparation through negotiations and closing, she manages every detail with clear communication and meticulous care, ensuring each property is presented at its very best.


For buyers, Kate simplifies San Francisco's complex market by translating data and neighborhood trends into practical guidance. She helps clients evaluate every opportunity through both a financial and lifestyle lens, so they can make informed decisions that align with their goals.


A Chico State graduate with a degree in Journalism and Public Relations, Kate has called San Francisco home for nearly 20 years. She feels fortunate to help clients navigate meaningful life transitions in the city she's proud to call home.
