______________________________

A funny thing happened when Carol came to visit Hilton Head Island in 1991 on vacation. She was overwhelmed by the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean, the sun splashed beaches, the lush vegetation and the friendliness of everyone she met. She realized she didn't want to venture back to the crowded and hectic atmosphere of Chicago where she had been born, raised and sold real estate for 14 years. She had discovered a new way of life and it was clear that this unique community, with its laid back lifestyle and picturesque setting was the ideal place to call home. It took her two years before she found an opportunity that allowed her to move.

Carol's genuine passion for Hilton Head Island and the surrounding communities is just as strong today as when she arrived 18 years ago. That is because she learned early on to appreciate what a truly special lifestyle this wonderful environment has to offer local residents.

Whether spending time with her family, or working on her career as a leading real estate professional, Carol never loses sight of the fact that life was meant for living. "It is important to enjoy life and what you do for a living, otherwise what good is it? I feel my purpose in life is to care for and help my family and other people."

This drive to help people assisted Carol in her decision to continue her real estate career on Hilton Head Island although she knew no one when she moved here. Tremendous determination and her experience as both a sales agent and sales manager while in Chicago made it easy for her to adapt her knowledge and perspective to the Hilton Head Island and surrounding area real estate market. Her unique passion and insight into this area play an integral part in helping her clients to reach their goals.

Not only does Carol have 33 years of real estate experience, she offers service and concern above and beyond the competition.
