What I liked best about working with Carol was that you could count on her to tell you exactly what she was thinking. She is a great person to go to when you really want to know what is the best way to handle something. She does not go along with a crowd. She stands by her convictions, while being respectful of others' opinions.

Carol both helped us find our home and sell our home many years later. She is very knowledgeable about the area and the real estate market. I would not hesitate to have her sell or help purchase a home as she's a class act!
