I met Caroline through a networking event last year, only to realize that she was the Realtor my parents retained to sell our family home years ago! As soon as we met, I realized Caroline is just as amazing as my parents described her to be. Caroline is passionate, dedicated and amazing with everything she does. She goes the extra mile for all of her clients and is a pure ray of sunshine! Strongly recommend!

We had the most professional, knowledgeable and friendly Real Estate Agent working for us to find a condo in Northbrook. Caroline Gau was the buyer's agent for our son and she dedicated the time and understanding of what he was looking for in a condo. She reviewed with him the requirements for buying in Northbrook and he found the exact place and location that worked for him. Caroline was the best realtor for us and we will definitely contact her for any future real estate needs.

My experience with Caroline Gau was phenomenal. She was knowledgeable, helpful, honest, easy to work with, accessible, professional and the best realtor I could have imagined. She was a fantastic moving agent and helped me with all aspects of the moving process. She had great recommendations of vendors for various things and was just a wealth of information and experience, especially for a first time buyer. Could not recommend highly enough!

GO WITH GAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Caroline is definitely the best realtor you are going to find in Northbrook and the North Suburb area. After we gave her our listing, she did everything. From marketing our property, staging our home, coordinating with the lawyers, other agents and service contractors, every detail, large or small was taken care of seamlessly. She took the stress out of selling our house, especially for us as we were in California during that time. We could go on and on, we could continue to sing our praise and appreciation for Caroline. Not only is she the finest Real Estate professional, she is a wonderful warm human being that is a pleasure being with. Ron Schwarcz and Leslie Harris

Are you looking for a real estate agent to help buying or selling your home? Look no further. Caroline is a pro. She helped us in the past and she helped us now. On the recent selling transaction she set the asking price at a considerable higher value than what we were expecting, and the first buyer that came to see the house accepted the full asking price. The house sold in one day. Needless to say we are happy about the outcome. We recommend you choose Caroline as your Real Estate Agent. You will not be disappointed.
