Her self-starter, go-getter and family-oriented personality gave her the advantage in adapting to unknown situations, negotiation offers and contracts that would align perfectly with her future in real estate.

When her children were born, Carol dedicated her life to raising them while helping manage the automobile auction company her family owned and operated for nearly 20 years. As her children entered school, her entrepreneurial spirit and knowledge of the housing industry instilled by her father, an architect, led her to become a licensed real estate agent in 1999.
