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
- 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 - We were so grateful to work with Caroline Gau in the sale of our Northbrook home. We lived there for 26 years and were away for the winter during the whole process. Caroline and her team came into our home and staged it and packed up some items to make it look perfect. Caroline is extremely knowledgeable of the market on the North Shore and helped price our house perfectly. We received 2 offers within the first 2 days of it being on the market. We strongly recommend Caroline! She was such a pleasure to work with and made an extremely emotional process go so smoothly and helped guide us all along the way.Michelle Crane
- 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
