      WHAT OUR

      CLIENTS SAY

      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 tasks associated with such a major move. We would unhesitatingly and strongly recommend Caroline for her extensive knowledge of the real estate field, especially in the Chicago area,

      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.

      I can't believe we were so nervous about putting our house on the market. Caroline assured us each step of the way that this was going to be easy and painless and she was right! She took such care of our house and the listing and we had an offer right off the bat! Within a month our house was listed, sold, and closed on. It was a wonderful experience. I would recommend Caroline to everyone.

      "We are so relieved to have been able to work with Caroline in what was an unprecedented real estate market! Caroline scoped out coming soon listings and accompanied us to many, many house showings (including one via FaceTime while we were traveling) before we found "the" house. Along the way, she spent time learning about our preferences and made sure to circle back to our priorities when it came to deciding whether or not to put in an offer – which helped ease the pressure in the midst of a really hot real estate market. When it came time to make an offer, Caroline was invaluable in helping us put forward a strong enough offer to avoid a multiple bid scenario. On the sell side, Caroline advised on where to put effort in terms of staging and decluttering. She recommended a fair and thoughtful pricing strategy which proved very effective:

      Caroline Gau is one of the BEST realtors on Chicago’s Northshore. She brings a wealth of experience to the Chicago real estate market. She is kind, trustworthy, detail oriented, and creative; attributes that make her stand out from others in her field. She truly cares about her clients and supports her clients every step of the process from listing to closing. In a city saturated with realtors, Caroline clearly stands out above the rest.

      We used Caroline both to buy our new home and to sell the old house at different times of the year. She was very professional and answered all our questions (of which there were a few) in a very timely manner and with utmost sincerity. I was apprehensive about the sale of our old house but she was great about making us feel like everything was in control and handled well. We hope to not have to use her again as we don't think we will want to move, but I would not hesitate giving her our business again if the need arrises.

      We had a wonderful experience working with Caroline to find our new home. Caroline was very flexible, setting up showings at many types of properties while over time guiding us to the right home based on the feedback we provided. Additionally, she came with several contacts in the home repair industry to provide quotes for updates and ultimately set us up with professionals after closing. It was great getting to know Caroline and we are so grateful for her helping our family move to the next stage.

      Choosing Caroline was the best decision I could have made when I decided to sell my house. She definitely has her finger on the pulse of the local real estate market! Caroline and her team did an amazing job from start to finish. With Caroline’s helpful staging ideas, photoshoots, virtual tours and strong social media presence, I had multiple offers within days and she expertly guided me through the entire process. Thank you, Caroline!
