Bio
Although real estate continues to be a sensational long-term investment, buying a home can be one of life’s most exciting experiences and yet one of the most challenging. Your home is your most important asset and an investment for a lifetime.
Working with an experienced real estate agent is the “key” to your success! With more than 25 years as a financial advisor and 15 years of real estate experience, including managing her own business as an independent real estate agent, Caroline has dedicated her life to helping home buyers and sellers find and secure the home of their dreams and to live the Florida coastal lifestyle. If you are looking for an agent who truly cares, Caroline has the confidence, professionalism, experience, and the dedication to help you find the ideal home.
Well-traveled, Caroline spent time in Colorado where she began her 25+ year career as a financial consultant and became a V.P of Institutional Sales with a major Wall Street firm. This experience taught her the many qualities and skills that make for an excellent real estate professional. Integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, effective negotiation skills, marketing savvy and a high-quality professional network are all hallmarks of her work. She is passionate about providing the very best service and always putting her clients first. This means keeping herself accessible, being a good listener, a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
Caroline offers a personalized experience to every local, international, real estate investor or vacation home buyer and home seller delivering on the dream of a Florida coastal lifestyle! Caroline has helped clients with purchases or sales of properties all along Florida’s Suncoast. Although she focuses on St. Petersburg, Clearwater, the Central Gulf Coast Beaches and Tampa, should your real estate needs require, Caroline is glad to head south of Tampa Bay over the Skyway Bridge to Manatee County and Sarasota County.
As a “semi-native”, Caroline has called St Petersburg home for most of her life, having moved to the “Sunshine City” with her family from the UK when she was just a toddler. She is well versed in the Tampa Bay housing market with its vibrant downtowns and its award-winning beaches, and yet understands the area's uniqueness and value. She currently enjoys waterfront living in the northeast St Petersburg neighborhood of Shore Acres Edgewater’s Arrowhead with her long-time partner where they enjoy an active coastal lifestyle, spending time with friends and family and chasing very active 6-year-old twin grandsons. Caroline’s personal time includes Pilates, biking, gardening, and boating, and is a member of the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce and the St Petersburg Women’s Chamber of Commerce. She supports the local Alzheimer’s Florida Gulf Coast chapter and other charities and enjoys volunteering for local events.
