Carrie knows exactly what her clients are going through.
All of the questions, all of the challenges, all of the emotions that come with moving? She’s lived them, again and again.
What began as a personal journey eventually became a calling.
Since 1999, Carrie, her husband of 34 years, and their three children relocated seven times across seven states before finally putting down roots in Fairhope, Alabama in 2013. From Illinois to Florida, Wisconsin to Minnesota, Colorado to Michigan...and ultimately Alabama. Their path was shaped by career opportunities and a shared sense of adventure. Along the way, Carrie became an expert not just in moving, but in rebuilding life from the ground up, often without the nearby support of family and friends.
During those years, ensuring her children were in the right schools became her full-time mission. A former elementary school teacher, Carrie has long been a passionate advocate for public education. In Fairhope, she spent six years serving on the board of directors for The Fairhope Educational Enrichment Foundation (FEEF), including two years as president. She currently serves as a board member for the City of Fairhope’s Public Schools Commission.
Carrie is also known for her creative vision when it comes to homes. She’s never met a wall she didn’t consider moving in the name of a better layout. Where others see a house, she sees possibility. Her eye for remodeling, design, and functionality makes her an invaluable resource...not just for buyers envisioning their future, but for sellers preparing their homes to shine.
In 2020, Carrie’s biggest adventure yet began, not across state lines, but right at home. She joined forces with four smart, driven, and inspiring women to become one of the owners of Mobile Bay Realty. The collaboration created not just a business, but a powerful work family, one she is just as proud of as her own.
And speaking of family...Carrie is the proud mom of three incredible kids, an amazing daughter-in-law, and (in a twist she never saw coming) a devoted “grand-dog” enthusiast. Once firmly in the “no pets” camp, she has fully embraced life with her furry extended family.
In 2018, Carrie and her husband caught the travel bug and have made it a priority to explore the world together every other year, continuing the spirit of adventure that has defined their lives.
Because at the end of the day, Carrie understands something deeply: change is hard, even when it’s good.
Whether that change means moving across town or across the country, she knows the process is about far more than contracts and closings. It’s about trust, guidance, and having the right person by your side...someone who truly understands the journey.
Carrie doesn’t just help people move.
She helps them move forward.
