Sally Shaw, Traverse City
I'm sure Carolyn's knowledge and relationships with other realtors all helped to sell our house so quickly. We had five offers over asking price by the end of the first day it was on the market! Carolyn was able to negotiate a higher price for us, something we wouldn't have felt comfortable doing on our own. Both were very responsive by phone or text whenever we had a question. Ben and Carolyn were both a pleasure to work with!

We know Carolyn through a club and rotary and she was the obvious right match for us. She was a pro and kept our best interests at heart through-out finding the right house for us. We admire and appreciate her talent and expertise.
her son Ben occasionally showed us a property to get us in quickly and was a big help and is much appreciated as well.

Carolyn and Ben are excellent Agents and rather than worry about commission they CARE about their clients, constantly supporting them and keeping in touch. It has made this experience a lot less stressful than normal
