Hi, I'm Cara Holden, a fourth-generation real estate professional and licensed California REALTOR® serving buyers and sellers throughout Redding and the greater North State since 2021.

Growing up in a family where real estate was woven into everyday life gave me a deep respect for what it actually means to help someone buy or sell a home. It's not just a transaction. It's one of the most significant financial and personal decisions a person will ever make, and I approach every client relationship with that understanding.

Before real estate, I spent several years in digital marketing for a holistic wellness company, work that taught me how to build genuine relationships, understand the real "why" behind someone's decisions, and solve problems creatively for people whose needs are never one-size-fits-all. I bring that same philosophy to every real estate deal. My goal is simple: to make the process feel less overwhelming and a lot more human, regardless of whether you're buying your first home or selling your fifth.

I'm proud to be part of the JCRE Team at Waterman Real Estate, and when you work with me, you get the full weight of that team behind you. Together we offer the kind of real estate experience where you actually feel taken care of: no chasing your agent for updates, no details falling through the cracks, and a finish line you cross feeling good about every decision you made.

When I'm not working with clients, I'm spending time with my husband Jesse and our two children, and supporting the community we love here in the North State. Jesse and I are also the proud owners of Northstate CrossFit, an experience that has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to run a thriving business and serve a community well. That perspective shapes how I approach my real estate practice every single day.

If you're looking for an agent who will treat your goals like her own, I'm your person.
