Carrie (Klein) Perkins is a second-generation Real Estate Agent with 30 years of experience. Carrie believes in the relentless pursuit of art in all things real estate and marketing. Creativity is Carrie’s way of being in the world. Her clients hire her for her vision, unique skill set and approach. She sees the magic in every home, and no detail escapes her eye.
The Klein family name carries a stellar reputation in the Fairfield County real estate industry. Carrie’s mother and business partner, Virginia Klein, has been a broker & owner for more than 60 years. Known for being ethical, direct, and reliable, Kleins are also aggressive advocates for their clients. The duo combine their unique energy and diverse skill sets to form a well-rounded, highly experienced team with more than $550 million in lifetime sales and are consistently ranked among the top-performing luxury teams in Connecticut. In 2023 they were the top producing two person real estate team in Westport, CT.
After her first decade in real estate, Carrie began to envision an innovative, visual storytelling method of portraying the unique spaces she represented. When she couldn’t find the right creatives to implement her vision, Carrie went back to school herself, getting a second education in photography, video production, marketing, web development, and graphic design. She was lucky enough to be taken under the wing by some incredible creative talents who encouraged her to follow her passions and pushed her to do things outside her comfort zone – like making a full-length documentary film.
Today, Carrie is best known for her instantly recognizable, signature-style marketing. Carrie and her team at Spaces devise custom branding for each new luxury project, including an original logo, premium website, and unparalleled staging and photography. The centerpiece of each campaign is a bespoke lifestyle video, produced, directed, and (often) edited by Carrie. Her videos utilize emotive imagery and incredible attention to detail to tell the unique personal stories of every home her team handles. Nothing makes Carrie happier than when colleagues, clients, or friends reach out to say, “I knew that listing was yours before I ever saw your name.”
Proud to represent The RE/MAX Collection at the Inman Golden “I” Awards in 2022, Carrie and her team won “Best Sales And Marketing Campaign For A Luxury Development.” This is luxury real estate's highest honor, accepted with immense gratitude for her team members and her RE/MAX family.
A lifetime Connecticut resident, Carrie currently resides in Fairfield with her family which includes her 19-year-old daughter Halie who plans to be a 3rd generation team member, following in her mother and grandmother's illustrious footsteps. Their family also includes a 130lb Great Dane named LuluBelle (who also loves to show houses). Carrie has several passions, including gardening, cooking and mixology (which she studies for fun at Astor Center in NYC). She geeks out over film, video editing, photography gear, architecture and design, (weirdly) light fixtures, and (not weirdly at all) Star Trek.
