Carole believes that our homes are an important part of our lives, giving us shelter, security, and a means of self-expression. Homes are the uniquely public representations of who we are, perhaps more than any other material possession we have. Separate from the constraints of necessity, many homes are a microcosm for the things we hold most dear — family, memories, relaxation and sense of belonging.
“Home and family are cornerstones in my own life and I strive to share my expertise with clients so that their real decisions mirror their own goals. Upsizing and downsizing are semantics, real estate is more than a financial transaction; it’s typically about a family’s safe haven. With this in mind, I treat the process with singular focus and the utmost respect because it demands nothing less.”
It is no surprise that this core belief regarding the importance of home has fueled her impressively successful real estate career of 25 years in the luxury South Florida communities of Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Pinecrest and nearby areas.
Passion for this industry and her life in general exude from her constantly. She feels if one is passionate about their life and their work, they will always bring their “A” game to the table. Over 2000 satisfied clients would agree as she has masterfully matched buyers to their new homes and has skillfully negotiated the best prices and terms for her Sellers. This client- centric approach has yielded unprecedented referral and repeat business allowing Carole to forge life-long relationships with clients her become friends.
In 2014, Carole was named Realtor of the Year by the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce. She has twice been named Realtor of the Year by Florida’s Best Award. She has been named a South Florida Mega-broker by Unique Homes Magazine and is a member of the prestigious Master Brokers Forum of Florida. Carole is a certified Luxury Homes Specialist and was inducted into the Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate. She holds a certificate from Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiations and is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Florida.
When not selling real estate, Carole’s favorite pastimes are reading, advocating for her beloved Village of Coconut Grove, where she resides, and hosting dinner parties filled with spirited discourse, great music, and a lot of laughter. She has a terrible voice but loves to sing anyway.
