About Carolyn

Born, raised and still living in the area, Carolyn is a certified expert in the Hyde Park, Kenwood, Bronzeville, Loop, South Loop, Chatham, South Shore, Beverly and south suburban neighborhoods of Chicago.
“I chose to become an agent because I like helping people make the dream of home ownership a reality. I like real estate because it makes people happy when a buyer is able to purchase the property that they want or a seller closes on a sale. I like the flexibility of real estate and working with people as a whole.”
Carolyn prides herself on giving her clients first-rate customer service as she tirelessly works to go above and beyond to guide them through every step of the real estate process. Buyers and sellers can count on Carolyn to be open and honest and offer her unsurpassed expertise to get them the best price possible.

Carolyn received her BS/BA in Business Administration from Roosevelt University before dedicating her career to the real estate and mortgage service industry. Her past experience includes owning and operating her own mortgage brokerage firm and property preservation companies, as well as being an independent real estate investor for over 20 years. Whether you are a buyer or seller, let Carolyn put her years of knowledge and dedication to work and you will be amazed with what you can accomplish together. You'll be happy that you decided to "Close with Carolyn"!

Carolyn's Reviews
5/16/24Cheryl Stuckey
Carolyn worked with my family on the sale of my father's home, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgeable, and her expertise made what could have been a very difficult process, bearable. I would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone who is looking to sale or purchase real estate.
