Carissa Giancarlo

Carissa Giancarlo's ambition and compassion have served as key drivers for her success in real estate. Switching careers from teaching in 2016, Carissa is now recognized as a top 1% broker in Chicago and is part of the Kate Waddell Group - one of Compass' top producing teams.

Carissa is a firm believer in developing a strong, honest relationship with every one of her clients, many of which are referrals. They appreciate her attention and enthusiasm, as well as her responsiveness and willingness to do whatever she can to address their questions, concerns, and when necessary, nerves. Her focus is keeping clients well represented every step of the way.

Carissa graduated from the University of Michigan and holds a Master's degree from the American College of Education. She supports Habitat for Humanity, Make-A-Wish Foundation and Blessings in a Backpack in Chicago. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family, traveling, and trying new restaurants. Although Lincoln Park is home, Carissa's passion for exploring everything Chicago has to offer has led to a deep understanding of, and appreciation for, the entire city.
