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.

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 had the most professional, knowledgeable and friendly Real Estate Agent working for us to find a condo in Northbrook. Caroline Gau was the buyer's agent for our son and she dedicated the time and understanding of what he was looking for in a condo. She reviewed with him the requirements for buying in Northbrook and he found the exact place and location that worked for him. Caroline was the best realtor for us and we will definitely contact her for any future real estate needs.Patrick Junginger
