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. But beyond this she brought us into contact with numerous honest and skilled service providers to assist in the surprisingly complex

We just had Caroline sell our second house in as many years, and it was as positive experience in every way as the first one was. In both cases we had other realtors tamping down our price expectations, but Caroline came in with fresh eyes and priced both houses at the level she and we thought was warranted. And then she sold them both within days. And she sold the second one twice (when the initial offer fell through), both times in one day. Though she is definitely a Northbrook specialist, she came up to Lake Vila to sell this latest house, and I would argue that she understood that market better than the local specialists.One of my favorite aspects of working with Caroline is her extensive collection of contacts, trades people, and specialists. And she refers enoug

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.

Our Reviews
- Caroline successfully sold my single house in Glenview IL in May 2026. She is highly resourceful by arranging all required repairs to be completed promptly and at competitive prices. She is a person of high integrity. She earned my trust. She also informed me of all potential scenarios, as if she came from the future, because she knew the Glenview and North Shore market so well. She also showed her excellent skill in prelisting by getting the attention of a large local crowd before we even listed. I am so lucky and greatful that I had the chance to work with a person of such high integrity. It was a joy! Thank you Caroline.
Jason - I had the opportunity to work with Caroline when she showed me a home, although I ultimately bought directly from an owner without involving realtors. Even knowing my situation, Caroline was always ready to assist with any questions. She’s extremely knowledgeable about Northbrook and the various school districts within it. We were focused on District 28, and she understood that priority well. Her market insights are truly invaluable. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the area. Also, her social media is fantastic for guiding people through the buying process! @northbrookrealtorcarolineAle Pizarro
- We’ve had the pleasure of working with our realtor more than once, and each experience has been exceptional. She is thoughtful, kind, and incredibly responsive, always making us feel supported and cared for throughout the entire process. Her knowledge of the market is outstanding, and she consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. We truly trust her and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again or recommend her to others!Carly Wallenstein
