Rita Carlson
Real Estate Salesperson
Coeur D Alene, ID
Rita is a dedicated and compassionate real estate professional with deep roots in both California and North Idaho. Her real estate journey began in 1997 when she obtained her California license to help her 20-year-old son buy his first home. Over the years, her passion for helping others has shaped her career, culminating in a proud milestone last year when her grandson—after completing his service in the Coast Guard—purchased his first home in North Idaho, becoming Rita's first “second-generation” client. Rita's approach to real estate is driven by her belief in making a life, not just a living, through helping others. She specializes in working with first-time buyers, veterans, seniors, and investors, providing personalized service and expert guidance. A licensed agent in both California and Idaho, she has also managed her own investments in several states, giving her a unique perspective on the needs of real estate investors. Her commitment to excellence is evident in her dedication to ongoing education. While Idaho requires real estate professionals to complete 40 hours of continuing education every two years, Rita completed over 140 hours to ensure she offers the highest level of service to her clients. Beyond her professional achievements, Rita is a devoted wife, mother of two, and grandmother of ten. She is deeply involved in her community, with a history of volunteering as a substitute teacher, hospital aide, and Sunday school teacher in Southern California. In North Idaho, she continues to serve through church activities at St. Pius X and St. Stanislaus and is a former volunteer at the Life Care Center in Coeur d'Alene. A passionate advocate for Alzheimer's research, she has been North Idaho's top fundraiser for the Alzheimer's Association for five consecutive years. Rita's hard work, friendly demeanor, and family-oriented values make her an invaluable resource for anyone navigating the real estate market. Whether buying, selling, or investing, clients can count on her expertise, compassion, and unwavering commitment to their success.

This was our third purchase in North Idaho using Rita Carlson as our realtor. We could not be happier. We would strongly recommend her to others looking for a home in the area. Rita is very knowledgeable of the market and very professional. Thank you Rita for another job well done! Steven & Megan

To any future buyer/seller,
I have had the pleasure of working with Rita Carlson as our realtor for the past six months. We are new to the area and were overwhelmed with where to start in a new community. Rita not only welcomed us with open arms but also provided us with a wealth of information about the area, activities for our kids and truly gave us far more than property listing in the area. She has become a dear friend.
She brings a wealth of real estate knowledge and expertise, and her attention to detail when it comes to closing a deal is far better than I have experienced with past agents. We were more than just a business transaction and that matters. She is super responsive and always willing to help and that is something I sincerely value.
I highly recommend Rita and encourage you to trust her with your future home purchase. She is one of a kind!

Rita has been attentive to all our needs as home buyers. She took time to discover exactly what we desired. She did not waste our time on properties out of our price range or in areas we did not find appealing.
No matter what the time of day or evening Rita has been there to show us properties at their best.
Rita has always been very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. We could trust her to give us the best home for the best price. We will certainly select her services for any future purchase we make.
