Granted we have a little more experience, but Carolyn was always available to answer questions and assist. She was completely professional and analytic in her approach, yet warm and caring. She even overheard our 9 year old talking about finding a 4-leaf clover. About 4 days later, he got a letter from her in the mail with a 4-leaf clover in it. No detail goes unnoticed by her and we wish we could buy and sell homes everyday with her.
