In 2025, my partner and I faced a very difficult situation involving the home we had lived in for 12 years that our late landlady had promised to sell to us. WIth Carolynn's wise counsel, whip-smart strategic guidance, and tireless support every step of the way, we navigated all of the obstacles and closed on the house at a very favorable price. Carolynn's knowledge of the market, professionalism, industry know-how, work ethic, and incredible responsiveness -- not to mention her profound kindness -- were critical to our success. HIGHLY recommend!
Carolynn and her team are professionals. Attention to details, knowledge of the market and the neighborhoods and patience when it comes to negotiations. She is truley someone you want selling your home. She goes above and beyond to make the moving experience less stressful. Thank you Carolynn!
I've known Carolynn for nearly 20 years. I remember telling her, someday, I'd be ready to buy a home. Life happened, but we always kept in touch. When my wife and I were truly ready, I was grateful to connect with Carolynn and tell her: "It's time." Carolynn and her team were so helpful and my wife and I experienced NONE of the escrow nightmare stories that folks have. As blessed as my wife and I are to be first-time homeowners, we were equally as blessed to have a friend, partner and advocate in Carolynn.
Carolynn has helped us sell both our home and Julie's dad's home a few years ago. After our first experience we knew that she was the perfect realtor to market our house. Carolynn is very in tune with the neighborhoods she represents and is aware of the changing market here in Orange County. She knew exactly what our house needed to get it sold and assisted us every step of the way from getting repairs and rehab done to staging and showing the house. We highly recommend Carolynn and Seven Gaables if you are buying or selling your house.
Carolynn is a wonderful person. From the beginning I felt I could trust her. She is well prepared and knows the realty business inside and out. She sold our house so quickly, less than a week. She is outstanding!
We highly recommend Carolynn !As first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions and required guidance throughout the process. Carolynn helped us understand the home buying process and was very patient in answering all our questions.She was always very responsive and accompanied us as we looked at a number of homes. Carolynn would always come prepared with all the required information about a particular home and shared her honest professional opinion.Finally, when we did find the right home, Carolynn's process expertise was evident. She helped us step by step through the process and was there for us all the way.Overall, Carolynn was great and we highly recommend her.
Carolynn sold our house in Orange in less than a month (with multiple offers.) She knew exactly what buyers were looking for when buying a home and helped us get our house ready to sell. If you are looking for a realtor who will get your home SOLD and not sit on the market, than Carolynn is the realtor to do it. I highly recommend Carolynn to anyone looking to buy a home or sell their home.
We were first time home buyers when we met Carolynn. She used her expertise and knowledge to guide us through navigating the process and eventually buying our first home. Carolynn was very responsive, always available to answer our questions and explain stuff we did not understand. She also proved to be a great negotiator and above all a wonderful person. I will definitely recommend her to anyone because you will not only be working with a very knowledgeable and professional realtor but with someone who is a great personality.
Carolynn showed extreme compassion for us during a difficult time. She was able to assist in the estate sale, clean up as well as the sale of our parents home.
Carolynn was a hard working conscientious realtor. She helped us sell our house by holding several open houses. She staged our home to look more impressive to clients. She helped us through a few glitches that happened along the way and everything worked out fine in the end. Selling can be a stressful time for the homeowners and she helped us get through the emotional ups and downs.
Carolynn's expertise was invaluable to us in selling our home. She knew the exact upgrades/fixes we should do to get the best selling price we could. And, WE DID. We received 3 offers over asking price. I am very happy we chose Carolynn to help sell our home.
Carolynn was an angel delivered to our family when we relocated from Michigan. Our "relocation expert" failed us two weeks before the move leaving us without a home for our family. As our local family jumped in, Carolynn entered our lives to help us with a permanent solution. She visited with me regularly to get to know me and my family's lifestyle then guided us to areas to discover. She also gave us great advice of visiting open houses and getting lunch in the neighborhood to see if the neighborhood would really be a fit our family. After months of searching we found the perfect home that she negotiated with absolute tact and professionalism. She took our dream and turned it into our home--she didn't just help us find a house!I highly recommend Carolynn to everyone!
Carolynn is very dedicated to helping people find just the home they want. She stuck with me through thick and thin until I found "my" home. Then, helped me navigate a tricky probate sale.

Carolynn was truly, as I liked to call her, a "gift from God" in the home-buying process. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and experienced, she made me feel like her biggest priority throughout the entire process. I never had an issue getting in contact with her, and I always got comprehensive and educated responses to all of my questions - and there were a lot of them as I was a first time home-buyer. She knew how to deal with the other parties in the buying process (lender, inspector etc) and could motivate them to get things done. Carolynn is kind, intelligent, compassionate, effective, efficient... better than I could have ever expected from a real estate agent.
Carolynn have helped me found a great home in Floral Park for my cousin and his wife. Carolynn worked tirelessly through the whole process and watched out for our interest. She is very sweet and we felt relaxed with her around. In fact, it was fun going out with her seeing homes. She taught us a great deal of local knowledge and helped us see the ins and outs of good and bad houses. I highly recommend Carolynn as your broker for your next real estate deal in the OC area.
Carolynn is an outstanding realtor who helped us with the purchase of our home. She provided the wealth of experience we needed to navigate the process, being first time home buyers. She is very knowledgeable in the business and above all an amazing individual. I will definitely recommend her to anyone.
Carolyn is amazing! She helped us every step of the way in finding our dream home. She was patient with us, she went above and beyond to help me with young my twins, she always answered all of questions and concerns, showed professionalism in all aspects, and really tried to search for and show us all the homes that would be suitable for our preferences. Carolyn has helped my sister find her own home as well and we won't hesitate to recommend her to everyone we know looking to buy a house!
t is our pleasure to recommend Carolynn as an expert realtor in Orange County! As first time home buyers who were very picky, we were grateful to have Carolynn provide us such wonderful guidance. We did not know the area very well and she never hesitated to take us ALL over Orange County - we must have visited 4-6 cities. She always did her homework and could answer just about any question about the neighborhood and the school districts. We changed our criteria a number of times and with her expertise, she was able to narrow down the viewings to homes we would be interested in (this saved us so much time by not visiting homes that she knew we would not like). She was spot on about all the values of the homes we were interested in and was very frank on when we should pass on homes. There was never any pressure to purchase a home and she knew a great deal when she saw one. Carolynn surrounds herself by a great team which will be a benefit to any home buyer. We were thrilled with the mortgage broker she works with on a regular basis, Sherry Kushell. Now that we have finally purchased our home, she has great recommendations for everything else that follows, such as people for various repair services (all which are reasonably priced). On a personal note, we feel like we have made a new friend. Carolynn started off as a business contact. Her caring attitude and genuine concern about finding a home that would make us happy made her more than just our realtor. I smile at the patience she displayed continually as we brought along our rambunctious kids for viewings. Families will be happy to work with her! I guarantee you that Carolynn will make this process easy for you. We are thrilled with her and if the need arises again, will certainly be working with her in the future.
From the very beginning Carolynn really stood out from the rest by being so responsive and really paying attention to my needs. She is easy to work with and knows so much about the area and makes great reccomendations which has saved me from a lot of time looking in the wrong areas. She's professional and so friendly that I just couldn't imagine doing this with anyone else.
Carolynn has proven herself to be an exceptional real estate agent as well as a great person. She genuinely cares about you as a client and you as an individual. When requesting information or any other assistance from her, you can guarantee that it will be taken care of right away. She is always professional and friendly, and sets a perfect example of what a really great real estate agent should be.
