Authentic.
On the advice of our physicians and our adult children we decided to move to an assisted living facility near one our children in South Carolina. This required not only selling our home of many years but also finding appropriate means of disposing of its contents accumulated in various locations over almost sixty years of marriage. Fortunately, we met and retained the services of Caroline Gau as our real estate agent to list and market our house. She oversaw all the aspects of preparing it for the steps of listing, staging and showing which led to a rapid and fair offer.

We had a wonderful experience selling our home with Caroline. She sat down with us to walk through our options for selling and brought a variety of research to help us establish our optimal sell price. She handled all the details, was quick to respond to any inquiries we had, and kept us fully in the loop throughout the process. Through a variety of marketing and social media, she was able to quickly promote our home and the house sold in a few days for our asking price. Honestly, she made the process so easy - we cannot recommend her highly enough.

- We couldn’t be happier with Caroline Gau as our realtor! From the first walkthrough to the last closing detail (ask her about the chicken feet 🤣🤣🤣) she was there to encourage, calm, advise, and celebrate with us. Her market research was informative and spot-on. Her organization of the showings, open house, and closing was smooth and professional. Huge thanks and highest recommendation!Rod Brooks
