I have lived in Santa Cruz County for over 35 years and have been a licensed California real estate salesperson for over 23 of them. The majority of my business comes via referrals from past clients but I enjoy meeting and making new connections every day.

Before becoming a real estate professional, I had been both a Buyer and a Seller numerous times. I remember that many times the agent seemed to care more about themselves than me, my needs, details, etc., and I vowed to never be that kind of agent. I understand how important it is to be a member of your Team. I believe that developing strong relationships is the key to a successful transaction and a lasting relationship.

Any client, whether buying or selling, are my top priority. I will allow them to keep up a normal day to day life and not miss a beat while I carefully manage & coordinate every aspect of the hectic real estate process. I am known for making this stressful and complicated process livable. My past clients have said I made the transactions seem effortless and I paid attention to the small things.

I pride myself on answering all questions, exploring individual timelines and preferences while getting to know you and your needs. I will be patient during the process and take the time you need, keeping you informed along the way.

One client gave this testimonial: "Carol has the knowledge, skills and attention to detail that are crucial for tough negotiations as well as compassion for her clients. She was always offering to help in any way she can and is a warm, down to earth and pleasant person. When I talk to other people about my experience they are always amazed at how smoothly and quickly the process went for us."

As an independent Broker, I am utilizing my education, experience and knowledge to connect with my past clients, make new ones and am looking forward to future clients in order to provide an extraordinary level of personal service, putting the client's needs before my own. Everyone needs to experience a high level of communication, integrity and the best customer service.

If you are thinking of buying or selling anywhere in the US, I would truly appreciate the opportunity to help you or anyone you know. I know that hiring a Realtor is a big decision and one where you have many choices.
