The team's collective finger is on the pulse of the fast paced New York City market enabling them to specialize in townhouses, coop sales, condo sales, residential rentals and investment properties in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx. Caroline's success in the industry is unprecedented. Since 2005 Caroline has consistently been a top producer and has been honored every year with awards ranging from the Outstanding Customer Service Award, to The Deal of the Year Award, to Sales Team of the Year to Top Producing Agent. Caroline was voted Best Broker in Manhattan by The Real Deal in 2010 and Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2012. One hundred percent of her business is referral-based, which speaks to her unwavering work ethic and devotion to her clients needs. Caroline has earned her Associate Brokers license and has been inducted as a member of NYRS, REBNY's highest professional credential for residential agents in New York City, a designation that fewer than 3% of agents have been awarded. Well-respected by the media, Caroline has appeared on Bravo TV, Open House NBC, NPR and Smart Money TV. She has been consistently quoted by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, Forbes Magazine and The New York Post. As a condominium homeowner herself, Caroline intimately understands the complex purchasing process and can help you navigate every step of the way from submitting an informed offer, to preparing a professional board package to successfully interviewing with the board. When representing sellers, Caroline has over 10 years of experience reviewing potential purchasers, financial viability, marketing properties, advertising and successfully staging apartments to maximize profits for sellers. A native northeasterner, Caroline has a strong background in the arts -- she studied art history in Florence, Italy; photography at the University of Connecticut; and large-scale metal sculpting with a professional artist. Her experience working in a custom jewelry store on Martha's Vineyard brings a unique dimension to Caroline's vast business experience. A lifelong learner, Caroline continues to feed her intellectual curiosity when she can, whether taking an art class at the Museum of Modern Art or enhancing her knowledge of Real Estate at NYU's Schack Institute. In her spare time Caroline loves to cook and explore North Fork, Long Island where she and her husband own a vacation home. Despite her dedication to her clients and her business, Caroline finds ways to give back. She is the founder of the University of Connecticut Alumni Chapter in New York City and continues to be actively involved; she returns annually to her alma mater as a regular guest lecturer. Additionally, Caroline has supported several charities throughout her career, including the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Hole in the Wall Camp and Prep for Prep.
