Hi, I’m Carole.
‘Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life’ really applies to me …
I love selling real estate and serving my clients, so I don’t even call it a job! For almost two decades, I have proudly been one of Atlanta’s top producing REALTORS® with over 250 homes sold, many happy clients and numerous awards! Growing up “pretending to sell houses” to my dolls as we drove around on our golf cart might have been a hint of my passion for real estate.
With an undergraduate and a master’s degree in real estate, I started my career in commercial real estate asset management but knew my heart belonged in residential sales. My recognition of success includes numerous accolades of consistently being an Atlanta Board of REALTORS® Top Producer, No. 1 REALTOR® for sales at my last company, Top Performer for Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty and Atlanta Board of REALTORS® Phoenix Award Recipient. Proudly working for Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty, I am aligned with the best leadership, REALTORS® and tools in Atlanta, all aimed at serving you with your real estate needs.
After happily raising our family in the “suburbs” of Dunwoody-Sandy Springs, as empty nesters, we joined others in the move ‘ITP,’ where we can walk to restaurants, parks and shops while being surrounded by some of the most beautiful homes in Atlanta. We have two grown children who attended the Wesleyan School from K-12. My daughter studied at Furman University, and Wake Forest for graduate school, and happily lives and works in Buckhead as a mental health counselor. My son went to the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and is loving his life as a film producer in New York City. My husband, Steve, and I reside with our golden doodle, Colby, in Buckhead’s Haynes Manor in a 1930s home we call Greystone. When he’s not visiting Toby, the Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty office dog who looks like his twin, Colby serves as mascot to Greystone.
My goal is to be a trusted resource for my clients, allowing them to have fun when buying or selling real estate while counting on me to meticulously handle the details. Representing both sellers and buyers in all price ranges, I pride myself on my unparalleled professional track record of being a consummate professional with uncompromised integrity and sales results.
My sellers love and appreciate the combination of my extensive sales experience, smart recommendations for preparing their home for sale, cutting-edge marketing and savvy negotiating skills aimed at getting them top dollar for their home in a smooth and timely manner.
My buyers seek my expertise and market knowledge to make the process of getting their dream home enjoyable while also focusing on making a smart investment. With the goal of finding them the best home for their needs, I often expose my Buyers to homes that have not even hit the market.
In my free time, I enjoy long walks with Steve and Colby in our Buckhead neighborhood, listening to the sounds of a great playlist, exploring my newest hobby of gardening and, believe it or not, looking at houses on FMLS.
Simply said, I love my job especially being aligned with the Sotheby’s International Realty® brand, the top marketing platform in the industry. I welcome serving you with your real state needs so contact me today and let’s get started!
