Carissa Clarizio is a Portland based real estate broker who approaches her work with intention, empathy, and a deep understanding that every move represents a turning point in someone’s life.

Her path into real estate was built on years of working closely with people. Building trust, reading between the lines, and creating experiences that feel both seamless and personal. That foundation now shapes the way she serves her clients, combining professionalism with a natural ability to make people feel understood, supported and genuinely cared for.

For Carissa, real estate is never just transactional. It’s about guiding people through moments of change. Whether that’s a first home, a fresh start or a step into something bigger. Having navigated significant life experiences of her own, she brings a grounded perspective, resilience and a calm confidence to every client relationship. She knows how important it is to feel both supported and certain when making big decisions and she takes pride in being that steady presence throughout the process.

As a mother, Carissa understands the meaning of home on a deeper level, the role it plays in stability, growth and everyday life. Whether she’s helping a family find the right neighborhood, advising on a strategic move, or simply ensuring no detail is overlooked, her approach is thoughtful, intentional, and always client first.

Outside of real estate, Carissa enjoys spending time exploring the Portland area with her son. From local parks and weekend markets to trying new restaurants and coffee spots throughout the city. She values the sense of community that Portland offers and loves helping others find their place within it.

Known for her calm presence, strong communication, and attention to detail, Carissa is both a steady guide and a strong advocate. She is dedicated to building lasting relationships and a business rooted in trust, integrity, and results.
