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
- We can’t say enough about how much we appreciated having Caroline Gau and her team of experts by our side during our entire home selling process! From our first meeting we noted her exceptional abilities not only to collaborate but also to offer insightful perspectives at pivotal moments as we developed a strategic timeline to ready our house for market. Selling a house is a multi-step process and Caroline was able to break the process down step-by-step, gently guiding us and keeping the plan on track. Caroline has a keen eye for design and has developed a team of experts to help in the process. Led by her skillful ways and marketing expertise, we were able to sell our house quickly and above asking price. Knowledgeable, pleasant, strategic, responsive and steady. What more could we ask for?
Robert Matlin - We had such a great experience working with Caroline! Caroline is very personable, thoughtful and sincere. She was always available when we had questions and was really great about communicating with us throughout the whole process. We were first time home buyers and had many questions, but she was patient and took time to answer with care. We never felt pressured to make a decision, which we really appreciated. She took the time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for, and she really remembered the little things that were important to us. We always felt like she was looking out for our best interests and wanted us to find the right home for us, not just any home. We’re so happy we had her and her team to help us through the process!Erin Kim
- I was recommended Caroline by my twin brother who had a great experience with her when he was looking for a condo. I am very glad that I listened to him as Caroline was an amazing asset during the condo buying process. At every point of my journey, I knew I could give her a call and she would be able to help. She works hard to make sure you get a property that you will be satisfied with. I would recommend her to my friends, my family, and now strangers on the internet. You won't regret choosing her, I guarantee it!Michael Weller
