Meet Carmen
For almost 35+ years, Carmen Miranda has been assisting buyers and
sellers of San Francisco Bay Area real estate. A seasoned veteran with multiple awards for her
exceptionally high-level service and production achievements, Carmen does not measure her
success by sales volume and accumulation of awards, but by the steady stream of referrals she
receives from her clients. Carmen believes that good, long-term relationships are built on a
foundation of trust and mutual respect. She considers it an honor and privilege to serve
individuals and families who have chosen her to guide them through a process that can often be
complex and emotionally charged. She understands that buying Bay Area real estate can be one
of the largest investments a person will make in their lifetime. She knows the importance of
listening; of open and honest communication; she understands the responsibility that comes with
being a knowledgeable and trusted advisor throughout a complicated legal transaction. Carmen
takes her role whole-heartedly.
Known for her integrity, strong negotiation skills and extensive experience, Carmen’s philosophy
is simple: treat others as you wish to be treated. This fundamental principle is why Carmen
serves her clients personally, one-on-one. When needed, she draws from her handpicked
network of industry professionals, who she trusts and respects, to provide expert advice and
services during stages of a transaction.
As a Mid-Peninsula native, Carmen has in-depth and firsthand knowledge of the trends and
nuances that make up Peninsula communities – particularly, in San Mateo County. She holds
degrees in Business Management and Computer Science, which provided her a good foundation
for life as an entrepreneur. She continues her education today by studying market trends on
macro and micro levels, staying in front of industry technology, and keeping up-to-date on legal
issues that may affect her clients.
Carmen is a verified member of Real Trends Top Realtor (ranked 1.5% of 1.6 million real estate
professionals in the United States, Top Agent Network (TAN) in San Mateo County (top 10% of
SMC agents), has held the Diamond Certified Award for 17 consecutive years for her exceptional
service in San Mateo County, and has won the Five Star Professional award for outstanding
service in 2014, 2015 and soon…2016 (only 151 agents of 2200). She is a Relocation Specialist
and consistently is a top 20 Realtor in her Compass/APR office in Burlingame. She is a member
of the California Association of Realtors (CAR) and San Mateo County Association of Realtors
(SAMCAR).
Carmen leads an active and healthy lifestyle. She loves the great outdoors. She enjoys
vacationing in the Hawaiian Islands and traveling to the UK to visit with family. But when at
home, she finds great joy in the simple pleasures of preparing nutritious gourmet meals for
friends and family, and walking her Frenchie and cocker spaniel around Redwood Shores and at
Fort Funston.
Giving back to the community that provides her so much, Carmen supports individuals, families
and veterans who struggle with self-sufficiency and homelessness by donating a percentage of
her commission to LifeMoves – a San Mateo/Santa Clara County nonprofit committed to ending
the cycle of homelessness.
