The Story Behind Sold It.
A native Floridian, a market insider, and the agent Palm Beach County's most discerning buyers and sellers call first.
Carla Christenson was born and raised in South Florida — which means she doesn't just know Palm Beach County, she is Palm Beach County. While most luxury agents arrive from other markets and spend years learning the nuances of waterfront communities, private golf clubs, and barrier island estates, Carla grew up watching this market develop from the ground up.
For nearly three decades, Carla has represented buyers and sellers across the full spectrum of Palm Beach County's luxury market — from $1.5M golf villas in Jupiter Country Club to $30M+ oceanfront estates on Jupiter Island and South Ocean Boulevard. Her disciplined, strategic, and deeply personalized approach to every transaction consistently delivers strong outcomes for her clients.
As a member of ONE Sotheby's Sports & Entertainment Division, Carla also represents professional athletes, entertainers, and C-suite executives who require absolute discretion, fast timelines, and access to off-market inventory that never appears on MLS. Her network of off-market and pocket listings is one of the most trusted in South Florida.
What sets Carla apart is not just her volume — it is her depth of knowledge across every micro-market in Palm Beach County. She knows which clubs have waitlists and which have off-market homes available. With extensive experience throughout Palm Beach and Martin counties, Carla helps buyers evaluate location, property characteristics, comparable sales, competing inventory, community amenities, and long-term ownership considerations. Her local knowledge provides valuable perspective when comparing luxury waterfront estates, private golf communities, and other distinctive South Florida properties. She knows which Jupiter neighborhoods are commanding above-asking offers and which have softened.
This is the knowledge that comes only from being present, active, and deeply connected in one market for 29 consecutive years. It cannot be replicated by someone who relocated here three years ago — and Carla's clients know the difference.
Carla's philosophy is simple: every client deserves the same level of service she would want for herself. Whether the transaction is $800,000 or $18 million, whether the client is a first-time Palm Beach buyer or a repeat luxury seller — Carla brings the same energy, the same network, and the same commitment to results.
"I didn't get into real estate to list homes. I got into it to change people's lives — and 29 years later, that's still exactly what I do every single day."
— Carla Christenson

Common Questions
What clients ask before their first call with Carla.
Does Carla work with buyers or only sellers?
Both. Carla actively represents buyers and sellers. For buyers, her off-market network means access to properties unavailable to other agents. For sellers, her global marketing and private network consistently drives above-asking results.
Is there a minimum price Carla works with?
Carla focuses on the luxury segment — typically $1M and above. Her deepest expertise and network is in the $2M–$20M+ range across waterfront, golf community, and oceanfront properties.
How quickly does Carla respond to inquiries?
Carla responds personally — typically within a few hours. Call, text, email, or WhatsApp. For urgent off-market or pre-construction opportunities, she can often get you information the same day.
Does Carla speak languages other than English?
Carla serves English and Spanish-speaking clients. Palm Beach County has a significant Brazilian, Argentine, and Venezuelan luxury buyer presence, and Carla's network within those communities is strong.
