Carrie Benuska Leinen has been selling residential real estate for over 17 years and has helped a long list of happy clients accomplish their goals. She built and grew her career in the San Gabriel Valley of Southern California, where she was an award-winning real estate agent and was blessed to sell some truly special architectural homes. After a move to Austin, Carrie continues to help both buyers and sellers with their important transactions. She loves to share her cross-country move experience with buyers moving to the area.
Carrie’s educational background is in Industrial Engineering, which is the study of efficiency and productivity. She has been able to take these skills and apply them to the art of real estate sales. She spent years creating processes and systems to bring consistency to the home sale process. Her love of statistics and data analytics allows her to dig deep into market conditions.
Carrie has been buying and fixing up homes her whole adult life, which is what drew her to get her real estate license. She is a home renovation junky and a lover of beautiful design. Her work with home sellers goes far beyond making a space look pretty. Her focus is always on making improvements that will translate to profits when it comes time to sell. Carrie uses this experience to help her clients get their homes ready for sale. Advanced studies in Interior Design and Interior Architecture have given her added knowledge and tools to bring to her clients.
Carrie is passionate about helping seniors and their families transition from a long-time residence to a new home. After helping her parents make this type of move, she gained a deep understanding of the challenges inherent in the process. This experience and work with others in similar situations fueled a passion for these important clients.
Carrie and her husband love to travel, even if it is a day trip on their Harley. She also enjoys Pickleball, antiquing, and getting out into nature. She is a football fanatic and roots for the Green Bay Packers, the Horned Frogs, and our Longhorns.
