Carol was a great realtor for my husband and I. She knew what we were looking for in a new home and was able to give us solid and educated advice on our options. I had never sold a home before, and Carol made it easy to understand and was very quick to answer all of my *many* questions! I would refer Carol to anyone looking for a home, she is a great professional while being prompt and personal. Thank you Carol!
Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2017 in Livonia, MI., Zillow Review
My wife and I purchased a new home in 2011 and Carol was our realtor back then. She helped us find the perfect home. Six years later, our family tree is growing and we need something bigger. We turned back to Carol to sell our home. It was on the market for only four days! Highly recommend Carol and her office.
