Since I began my career in real estate I wanted to provide my clients with any information and guidance necessary so that they can feel good about whatever real estate decision that they make and that transactions run smoothly. So many people feel that they were previously mislead or over promised by a realtor and therefore in the end the process is not enjoyable and people walk away from a transaction feeling let down. 

I promise my clients total privacy and discretion for life. 

I promise to do everything possible to protect your best interests and needs. 

I promise to explain in detail every step of the real estate transaction right down to what my own expectations are of my clients in order for the process to go smoothly. 

This includes (If selling) educating you in the art of "Setting the Stage" to sell your home. This will ultimately result in achieving the best price possible in the desired time frame. 

I also believe that networking with other Realtors®, arranging tours to show the home, creating appealing brochures for prospective purchasers and extensive advertising on the internet and in Home Buying literature are all essential elements to market your home properly. 

I am the author of a real estate book that was published in 2005 “Get the best deal when selling your home”. 

I have completed a three-part relocation course. 

I have earned my e-Pro designation, which is a certification for Internet and technology professionals. 

I have earned my ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative) designation and am therefore qualified to represent clients solely as a buyer’s agent. I have also earned my CRS (Certified Residential Specialist)designation which less than 5% of realtors in the country hold. 

With over 30 million dollars of business in the last 2 years I am proving to be one of the most successful real estate agents in the North Scottsdale and Paradise Valley area.
Please contact me personally to find out why.

* Carol's Story  

I was born and grew up in London, England. I worked in finance for over
fifteen years. I began my career with Salomon Brothers in London where I
worked on the trading floor for five years. I then moved to New York City in
1986 and worked the next ten years as a capital markets broker for
Tullett-Liberty Inc  

I enjoyed a long and successful career brokering money market instruments,
foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives. The last five years at
Tullett and Tokyo, I managed the medium term interest rate swap desk with a
team of fifteen brokers and support staff.  

All the experience I gained on the trading floor and working with my team,
contributes immensely to my ability to guide homeowners through the
financial and emotional process of buying and selling their homes while at
the same time utilizing my negotiating skills to benefit my clients.  

I have three children; 13 year old twins James & Danielle and 10-year-old
Charlotte.  

When I decided to leave "Wall Street" I began the search for a city in the
USA that would provide a healthy lifestyle for my children and at the same time
desired the close proximity to a major metropolitan US city (as I did live in New
York for so long). After visiting a friend who had relocated to the City of Scottsdale the previous year,
I fell in love with the Sonoran Desert and the lifestyle that it provides for
families and singles alike. I realized that I had found our new
home. 18 months later we left New York and moved to The Valley of the Sun. I
now live happily in North Scottsdale and are exited about helping others
pursue their dreams.
