Phone: Call or Text me @ 773-799-5939Send CAROL a message.Carol was our 4th realtor. Our home was now vacant and up for sale for nearly 2-1/2 years. I’ve never met a realtor who cared as much as Carol... She got the house back into shape, with her attention to detail, wrote fabulous marketing copy, and then the unthinkable happened. Our home was on the market for just 2 months and we received a dual offer at 95% of asking price! GREAT job Carol!
Dana & Richard (Senior Executive) Barrington Hills
Carol re-designed & staged our house and helped choose rental furniture for two rooms. In less than 6 weeks, we received two offers – one a full-price offer for $725,000!
Jill & Matt (I.T. Executive & Violinist) Bucktown/Chicago
She accomplished, in less than 6 weeks, what my 1st agent couldn’t accomplish in 9 months – she SOLD my house!
