Bio

She has been selling real estate in the Pioneer Valley since 1995 and has seen many changes in the market. Through the years, she has gained a wealth of experience helping many satisfied clients buy or sell a home. Early on in her career, she rapidly became a top selling agent because of her arduous work, dedication to my clients, and quickly learning about all that participates in today’s complicated real estate transactions. Her experience helps her remain a remarkably successful agent, she continues to learn as much she can about real estate, not just the rules and regulations, but all aspects that can be helpful to her clients. she keeps a close eye on what is happening in the Pioneer Valley and continue to study. She listens closely to her client’s needs and remain dedicated to helping them make the right real estate decisions that will enhance their lives, both financially and emotionally.
When Dennis Delap asked Carla in 2005 to join his new agency, she was honored to be one of the first people he asked. She accepted immediately and has enjoyed collaborating with this fabulous team ever since. Dennis sadly passed away in October of 2012 leaving the business to the agents. In 2013, when they officially inherited the business, Carla's fellow Realtors at Delap Real Estate voted her to be their new broker. She is grateful for their high opinion of her, her mediations skills and ability to keep a level head if things are difficult. They know she listens well and treats everyone fairly. The agents all miss Dennis. Carla does not feel that she can fill his shoes, but she plans to run the company the way he would with honesty and compassion for all. Carla also has the support and advice of her fellow co-owners. They run the company as he did as a cooperative effort.
Carla lives with her husband, Christopher Bragg, in Cummington. They love being out in the woods and in their garden. they ski, bike, hike, swim, and love exploring all the back roads and trails. They are board members for Greenwood Music Camp in Cummington. Carla is a Historical Commissioner for the town and helps run the fabulous museum, The Kingman Tavern. She studied art and history in college and taught social studies at the middle school level before becoming a real estate agent. Carla's background and interest in art and history continue to inform her as a realtor. She has extensive knowledge of antique homes. Her creative eye and experience can help find a true “diamond in the rough” and other real estate gems.
Teaching taught her effective communication and mediation skills. Buying or selling real estate can be a very emotional process. Sometimes buyers and sellers find themselves in antagonistic positions. It is good to have someone who is looking out for your best interest without emotional involvement, and who can clearly explain both sides of an issue to help you make an informed decision. As an experienced Realtor who cares, she is an excellent choice to be that someone.
Whether you are buying or selling, you need an experienced resolute agent whom you can trust. Let Carla be that agent. she will not disappoint you. Let her knowledge of the market, communication skills and creative ability work for you. Please call or email, carla@delaprealestate.com with any of your real estate questions or needs.
