Where Market Strategy Meets a Designer's Eye.

Some people find their way to real estate. I feel like it found me.

I'm Karrie Franks, and I've spent over a decade doing one thing: helping people fall in love with home. First as an interior designer and home stager, and now, a REALTOR® too. It wasn't a pivot. It was the most natural next step I could have taken.

That background gives me something most agents don't have: an instinct for what makes a home feel right, sell fast, and hold its value. I help sellers make an unforgettable first impression and help buyers see what a space could become, not just what it is.

I don't take lightly the trust you place in me. Home is where you gather the people you love, and helping you find it, or let it go, is a privilege I will never take for granted.

Let's start your Styled Move.

Connect with Karrie
Bright, airy dining and living space with a wooden dining table, floral upholstered chairs, and a built-in bench with pillows. Large windows and a door lead outside. A vintage wooden sideboard with a vase of flowers and a wall with pink lettering that says 'SO FUN'. In the adjacent room, a glimpse of a bed with floral pillows is visible.

“We were gifted a Post Close Consultation with Karrie for paint and styling. I worried a designer might exceed our budget, but Karrie assessed our space, existing furniture, and new fixtures, then made recommendations that truly worked and gave us a clear vision to follow.”

— Becka, Post Close

“Karrie has an amazing eye for color and spatial awareness. Our contractor recommended her for a color consultation during our home's facelift, and I'm so glad he did! I love bold color, and without Karrie's guidance, I would have ended up with every wall a different deep shade. Instead, she incorporated splashes of my favorite colors throughout, making each room feel warm and inviting. She listened to what I liked, brought her expertise, and even guided us on our exterior colors. We couldn't be more pleased and would highly recommend her!"

  • A Designer's Eye That Goes to Work.

    Most agents list a home. I prepare it. With over a decade in interior design and home staging, I know exactly how to create that emotional connection, helping sellers find peace in letting go and helping buyers see what a space could become.

  • The Analytic and the Aesthetic, Working Together.

    Great real estate isn't just about how a home looks; it's about pricing strategy, market knowledge, and sharp negotiation. I bring both sides to every transaction, so nothing is left to chance.

  • Backed by California's Best.

    Behind every transaction is First Team Real Estate, California's #1 independent brokerage since 1976, with deep local roots, national reach, and serious market expertise working for you.

Why the pineapple?

For centuries, the pineapple has symbolized hospitality, luxury, and the good life, representing warmth, generosity, and welcome.
