Carissa Battle's Success Stories

As out of state clients, Carissa provided us with care and support in helping us find and purchase the right home for our family. Prompt responses and follow through made our journey in finding a home an enjoyable experience. Even during an extremely competitive
market, Carissa guided us and gave us the confidence to make home ownership a reality.

I have bought and sold many properties over 40 years in real estate. This is the first transaction I’ve experienced that went so smoothly, with no problems at all.
I am very satisfied with Firefly. My agent, Carissa Battle, was more than wonderful to work with. She is knowledgeable, patient, and very easy to talk with. The staging was over the top—beautiful and classy. The closing went very well, and I had no stress during this transaction.

We had the pleasure of working with Carissa and are so thankful we had her throughout the whole process. Not only is she an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable real estate agent, but also a true friend who had our best interests at heart every step of the way.

She helped us navigate both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one with ease, patience, and expert guidance. From pricing our home just right, to staging advice, to negotiating offers, Carissa was always one step ahead. And when it came time
to buy, she always made herself available to meet with us and scheduled showings as soon as possible, eventually finding our house in the desired area we wanted from the beginning.

We are so grateful for her professionalism, honesty, and tireless dedication. Having someone we trust so deeply made a potentially stressful process feel smooth and even enjoyable. We can’t recommend Carissa highly enough!

I can’t express how grateful I am to have worked with Carissa during my home-buying journey! From our very first conversation, she made me feel like more than just a client; I felt like her top priority.

Carissa took the time to really understand what I was looking for—not just in terms of features, but also in finding a place that felt like home. Her warmth and genuine enthusiasm made the often stressful process enjoyable. I remember visiting a few homes, and she always pointed out details I might have missed, helping me see the potential in each space.

What truly stood out was how accessible and responsive she was. Whether it was a late-night question or a weekend showing, Carissa was always there for me, offering guidance and support. I felt like I was in such good hands!

Thanks to her hard work and dedication, I’ve just moved into my first home, and I couldn’t be happier! If you’re looking for someone who is not just knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about finding the right fit for you, I wholeheartedly recommend Carissa!

We first considered moving to the Milwaukee area two years ago now. Firefly was the first (and only!) real estate company I reached out to, and I was matched with Carissa right away! She was so great at answering all of my initial questions, and understood our needs as first-time homebuyers. A few months later we had a chance to visit Milwaukee and meet Carissa in person. She understood that we did not have a destination yet but that Milwaukee was still a top contender and still took the time to go over how the process works, what the market is like in the area, and what to expect for the lending process. Over the next two years we kept in touch, signing up for MLS alerts along the way. When we found out in early 2025 that Milwaukee was a sure thing, she was one of the first people we told and that we were heading her way! I couldn’t believe she still wanted to give us the time of day after all that time; I know several others that didn’t! Carissa has been like a close confidant the whole way. From helping us find short term housing to coming along on closing day, I could not ask for more. Our approval process took longer than expected, and she was so patient and understanding of the whole ordeal. She kept us informed of what to expect and next steps to prepare for. When it came time to actually house-hunt, Carissa was super flexible with her and our schedule for looking at homes. She’s so organized, thoughtful, and professional, but best of all she’s so charismatic! We had provided a spreadsheet to her of the homes we were interested in and she secured showings for our top three all for one day. Carissa understood time was of the essence for us due to several outside factors, and made it all go so seamlessly. We knew we did not want to look at houses for weeks on end and had already been looking online and driving around a lot so we knew what to look for. That and the incredible insight Carissa has about the area made the entire process of starting over in a new place that much easier. She and I looked at the houses together and there were times I forgot she wasn’t moving in with us haha. Carissa truly helps her clients picture the ins and outs of daily living in the homes and neighborhoods they visit.

After doing the showings with Carissa she was able to easily schedule a revisit the next day so my spouse could also see it. The choice was easy and she helped us submit an offer that day! We had no idea what to expect for the homebuying process or what the timeline looked like; we’d only heard horror stories from friends and family and truly had begun to expect and plan for the worst. Carissa’s communication in writing everything up with her and the lender, and guiding us through the contingencies, what to ask for, and what to be prepared for, was impeccable. We seriously could not have done it without her expertise and her support. She made us feel so capable and prepared despite us having no experience with this world. Not once did she make us feel like we were dummies or inept; I truly have learned so much because of her and have even more respect for what real estate agents do! She has continued to be there for our crazy questions and has made the transition into homeowners go so smoothly. Carissa came through for us, all the way to our closing day. Someone needed to hold our hands and tell us we were adults enough for this! After we completed the closing documents I asked her when she was moving in. She’s more than our real estate agent; she’s family.

Working with Carissa at Firefly was an absolute dream!! She guided the entire process of selling my condo with incredible professionalism, strategy and care. From the start, she handled everything – from staging to photography – with an eye for detail and strong understanding of what buyers in the area are looking for. I did some minor upgrades prior to listing and she was so helpful in making sure I got the most bang for my buck!!

Thanks to her smart pricing strategy and thoughtful presentation, we sold my condo quickly and OVER LIST PRICE!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. If you’re looking for someone who’s got a great eye and is just genuinely supportive, Carissa is the one you want on your side.

I couldn’t have asked for a better agent for my home purchase. From the first showing through closing, Carissa was responsive, knowledgeable, and consistently several steps ahead.

She kept the process moving, handled every challenge calmly, and made a complicated purchase feel very manageable. I always felt informed and supported in my decisions.

I’m extremely grateful for her work and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone purchasing a home in Milwaukee!

An Absolute Game-Changer in a Tough Market! Working with Carissa was an incredible experience from start to finish. In today’s highly competitive market, she struck the perfect balance in helping me be realistic yet aggressive, ensuring we stayed competitive without ever pushing me outside of my comfort zone. Her proactive approach is the exact reason I found my home. She spotted the property the very first day it hit delayed status and immediately secured a showing appointment (on the day showings started), getting us in the door ahead of the crowd. Thanks to her market instincts and respect for my boundaries, I am now a happy homeowner. If you want a realtor who is intentional, fast-acting, fun! and truly has your back, I cannot recommend Carissa highly enough!

Carissa was a wonderful realtor! My husband and I are first time homebuyers and had a great experience. Carissa was very knowledgeable and always looking out for our best interests. She was always available to check out homes and made things work with our busy work schedules. We had lots of confidence in Carissa and she made this experience easy and exciting.
