ZillowVERIFIEDWe were so grateful to work with Caroline Gau in the sale of our Northbrook home. We lived there for 26 years and were away for the winter during the whole process. Caroline and her team came into our home and staged it and packed up some items to make it look perfect. Caroline is extremely knowledgeable of the market on the North Shore and helped price our house perfectly. We received 2 offers within the first 2 days of it being on the market. We strongly recommend Caroline! She was such a pleasure to work with and made an extremely emotional process go so smoothly and helped guide us all along the way.

ZillowVERIFIED Caroline successfully sold my single house in Glenview IL in May 2026. She is highly resourceful by arranging all required repairs to be completed promptly and at competitive prices. She is a person of high integrity. She earned my trust. She also informed me of all potential scenarios, as if she came from the future, because she knew the Glenview and Northbrook market so well. She also showed her excellent skill in prelisting by getting the attention of a large local crowd before we even listed. I am so lucky and greatful that I had the chance to work with a person of such high integrity. It was a joy! Thank you Carolien.

ZillowVERIFIED 5 days on the market with 7 offers! Wow! Caroline impressed me right off the bat with a personalized plan and booklet for my home. Pricing was easier with her comparisons to other homes in the community. Her negotiating skills were key. End result was $26K over asking price. Thank you! Will recommend Caroline to my friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIED Caroline is a dream realtor! She helped me buy a new home quickly, and sell my old home - in a day! Unbelievable! She really knows what she is doing, and gave me excellent advice every step of the way. Caroline is very easy to get along with, yet under her sweet exterior is very clear/ decisive/expert when it comes to negotiating contracts and the myriad of details involved in the buy/sell. She listens well, and is highly skilled and patient in calming down anxious/panic times in the process. Caroline is very experienced, and really knows the market. She also has a great list of people to call for repairs, donations, estate sales etc. Don't miss a chance to have her make an epic home video of your house! She has a great team of photo/video/drone people to market your house. Working with Caroline was such a pleasure, I highly recommend her!

ZillowVERIFIED I normally do not take the time to write a review, but in this case, I was so impressed with Caroline's knowledge and expertise I'm definitely making an exception. Here is a brief summary of our experience using Caroline which I hope will help anyone who reads this understand a little bit more about why we were so pleased. First, being from out-of-town and trying to sell my wife's mom's lifetime home, we did not know any realtors. I began searching the internet on realtor reviews and information regarding their training completed and awards earned. We also wanted a realtor that had consistently sold a lot of homes year after year. Caroline quickly rose to the top in that search. Next, we met with her in person. She came fully prepared! She explained what she would do for us, gave us a detailed road map of exactly what would happen when, and provided excellent guidance as to what to price the home at using comps and her local knowledge. After meeting with other realtors, we decided to choose Caroline as it was clear she would get the job done. Being from out-of-state, we wanted things to move quickly so that we could get back home. Within a few days, she had a team in with her taking excellent photographs inside and out as well as from the air using a drone. Another person came and using a state of the art program, beautifully created a floor plan of the home. Caroline also created herself a full walk-thru-video of our home so people could do a virtual tour prior to coming out if they wanted. In addition, she did a short highlight video to help those that wanted just a quick snapshot of the best features of our home. Shortly after that, Caroline started working her magic on the internet. Within a couple of hours she had my mother-in-law's home out on Zillow as well as all of the other major sites. We instantly had both a local and a global reach. Within 24 hours we had thousands of views and numerous saves of our home. She set us up on a mobile app that allowed us to easily accept requests for showings and know when we needed to be out so that someone could tour the home. That proved to be extremely helpful. We started receiving showing requests almost immediately and within the first few days we had 28 in person showings. The day after our home was listed, we received our first offer. Then we received several more offers. Caroline suggested that she could go back to each person that had made an offer and explain to them the situation and ask each to give their best offer. They did, and we sold my wife's mom's home just a few days after it was listed for more than we had listed it for. Caroline knew exactly what best to do every step of the way to get our home "out-there" and "looking-good" to potential buyers. We needed to do a couple things prior to listing the home and as a result of the buyer's inspection, and thankfully Caroline knew exactly who we should call to get those items done well and done promptly. That in itself was invaluable to us. If you want a person that is truly personable, professional and knows exactly how best to get your home sold, we definitely recommend Caroline.

ZillowVERIFIED If I could post more than five stars, I absolutely would! Caroline is an amazing realtor!!! My husband and I met Caroline about 4 years ago when we were transferring to the area and needed a good agent. We were so lucky to have found her, and such a great place to live. Here we are almost four years later and we're moving on! Caroline was able to help us stage our home, get it listed, and sold in no time. She was so thorough with all of the details, listened to us intently, and answered all of our questions. She truly went above and beyond! I would highly recommend her as a real estate agent and we will forever be grateful for her help! Kindly, Heather R.

Review for Member: Caroline Gau
ZillowVERIFIED Caroline initially helped us prep by the house by going through and giving us pointers of what to do, like painting, removing certain furniture, as well as ensuring we keep certain things to help it show. We talked through pros and cons of certain things and with her guidance it simplified and focused our prep work. She did the homework to help us price the house, showing us comps, giving us a history of some sales which didn't work out and some insight as to why things sit on the market; and the importance to not having the house for sale too long. She even brought some items to help stage the house to make it look more appealing. She was great at marketing the house, having open houses, and also talking through the offers and giving her opinion of how to proceed. I would definitely use her again.

Review for Member: Caroline Gau
ZillowVERIFIED Caroline Gau was recommended to us by our son-in-law, a mortgage broker. Caroline was very patient with our indecision about what kind of new home we wanted: condo, townhouse or single family. Caroline was always very prompt to respond to any question or request for a showing. She was very organized in her approach and took time to explain all the many steps of the process. She was ready with references from home inspectors, to lawyers, to cleaning crews, to decorators. Caroline's caring, friendly, honest attitude made it a pleasure to work with her.

ZillowVERIFIED Caroline Gau is everything you could want in a realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable, detailed, honest, connected, savvy with negotiations, and to top it off, a genuinely kind, wonderful person. She helped my family sell a home during a challenging time and went above and beyond to be available to us and helpful with things like staging recommendations and contractor services. Our home sold very quickly on the Coming Soon network for the price we wanted, and because of Caroline, the whole process from start to finish went smoothly and without any added stress. I would absolutely recommend Caroline Gau and call on her again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED In her amicable and caring way, Caroline was a great advocate for us throughout the buying and selling process. Caroline explained every contract detail and each step of the process clearly and concisely. She also has referrals for everything from, lawyers to electricians and even pool guys! We felt very comfortable knowing she was on our side taking care of the important details while we fell in love with our new home!

Review for Member: Caroline Gau
ZillowVERIFIED When we decided to sell our home we asked several of our realtor friends to suggest an agent to help us on this journey. After interviewing four exceptional agents from three different real estate agencies, we had just one choice - Caroline. She was immediately personable, professional, informative and totally in sync with our vision of selling and buying at this stage in our life. She works for a great agency (Baird & Warner) and pushes the envelope on new and innovative sales strategies from eye popping brochures and welcoming open houses to popular web site placement and awsome drone pictures. From the start it was she who helped stage our home (she is an accredited Staging professional) and she who led us through tough negotiations on both sides of the sale (buyer and sellers - she is a certified negotiation expert as well). She has a great attitude and her love for the best outcome is apparent throughout the process. Thank you Caroline for all of your help and support in selling our family home of 26 years and finding our new family home for the coming decades. -The Lothians

Review for Member: Caroline Gau
ZillowVERIFIED Caroline was exactly the professional we needed to sell our home, and represent us when we bought our new home. She is knowledgeable, professional and patient. She is a talented stager, and brought out the very best in our home without demanding that we do anything drastic. There were many uncertain moments between offer and closing, and Caroline handled every hiccup with grit and grace. When it came to buying our home, Caroline went above and beyond in presenting our offer, and saw everything through to a smooth and pleasant closing. Caroline is approachable and responsive, and will keep things sailing smoothly, whether you are selling or buying a home. She is a pleasure to work with!

ZillowVERIFIED Caroline gets high marks for responsiveness/service and she is forthright in her business dealings. When we asked about staging, Caroline had professional stagers at our house the next afternoon with designer and a plan. She gave us good advice on all aspects of the selling process, and returned texts and calls immediately.

ZillowVERIFIED Caroline is very professional and helps make the purchase and sale of a home a smooth process. She is constantly updating the status of her listings and the availability of homes to look at. I have used her for two sales and also the purchase of my home in 2016. She makes herself available and is wonderful to work with. I highly recommend her services.

Review for Member: Caroline Gau
ZillowVERIFIED Caroline was extremely helpful throughout the process of buying my new home. She worked around my schedule when showing me the houses I was interested in, and helped me determine what is was that I wanted in my home. She was supportive and patient, and when I was ready to make an offer, she helped me by recommending other professionals (movers, real estate attorneys, lenders) that she had worked with previously. Caroline is very knowledgable about the north suburban area and the homes that are available. Working with Caroline has been a pleasure, and I would highly recommend her to anyone moving!

ZillowVERIFIED Caroline was our realtor when we purchase our house in Lake County years ago. We were very satisfied with the whole process. She went beyond and above taking care of any concerns we had. We already go back to her asking questions or seeking assistance related to house maintenance.

ZillowVERIFIED Caroline was great to work with. She is very responsive and knowledgeable, she helped us find our dream home. We would use her, again, no question, and recommend her to our friends and family. She was supportive and helped us navigate our move to the burbs, to an area we were not that familiar with. She even sent our neighbors a postcard introducing us, which we liked.

Review for Member: Caroline Gau
ZillowVERIFIED We moved from out of state when relocating to the Chicago area. From the get-go, we knew we were in good hands. Caroline set down with us and detailed what we were looking for in a house, such as location, schools, type of house and many other areas that were of paramount importance to us. After the discussion, Caroline tailored the search to find "that home" which was made for us. We loved her responsiveness to our questions and concerns. She also was not afraid to inform us of potential pitfalls of certain homes that we would of missed by not being "in the business." These included but not limited to resale viability, builder reputation and reliability and how to negotiate on the purchase price just to name a few. I would recommend Caroline to any perspective home buyer. You are in professional hands and she can help bring peace and comfort to your home buying experience.

Review for Member: Caroline Gau
ZillowVERIFIED Caroline was a fabulous ally through this whole process. I met with her almost a year ago just to get an idea of what I would need and what to expect once I was ready to buy. There was no pressure, and she really educated me, even setting up a meeting with a mortgage broker to just explain the various mortgage options available. I ultimately purchased a bank-owned foreclosure. I knew it would be a bit of a hassle, but Caroline made the process as simple as it could have been. She was knowledgeable not only about the process of buying itself (especially dealing with the foreclosure), but she was also amazing during the inspection. She recommended an excellent inspector whose references and online reviews were stellar, and as he found things, she was able to tell me what was really major, ballpark the costs for each possible issue, and help me prioritize all the things that would need to be done so I could more easily determine what was a deal-breaker and what wasn't. I cannot recommend her more highly.

ZillowVERIFIED Caroline helped me rent a very unique and charming home that I just LOVE and I cannot be more thankful and appreciative for her! She is extremely knowledgeable, prompt and very trustworthy. The main reason I was able to score the rental was because of how quickly she responded to my text and scheduled the showing. I highly recommend Caroline. She can make your dream home (or rental!) come true! THANK YOU CAROLINE!

ZillowVERIFIED Caroline spent some time with us to understand our needs and quickly found homes to match. At one point she found a house while we were out of town and we did a virtual walk through with FaceTime with her. The idea was very creative and it wound up to be the home we are moving into. She works hard for her clients and takes the mystery out of the process. I highly recommend Caroline for your real estate needs!

ZillowVERIFIED Caroline not only helped us buy our current home, but she concurrently helped us sell our last home- both processes went smoother than I could have imagined. Working with Caroline is great! She is knowledgeable, creative, responsive and has a pleasant demeanor about her. She gives a lot of good information and lets you make your own informed decisions.

Caroline is all of the above. She is an exemplary agent and handled all the details to perfection. Because of her listing strategy we were able to net $25,000 above list price.
