A full-time agent since 1980, Carol has been actively working with both buyers and sellers. “My goal,” says Gilles, “is to help buyers obtain the “American Dream” of home ownership and to create a successful Marketing Plan for sellers so they can move on with their personal goals.” Internet marketing and computer technology has created a whole new way of doing business! The 2007 South Bay real estate market will continue to provide many property choices for buyers and continued appreciation for sellers. Carol has been involved with the cyclical real estate market and continues to create an atmosphere of success for her clients and herself.

Carol’s success is supported by the following team members – Tom Pellum-Buyers’ agent, Sue Han – TRG Escrow, Dena Bricker – American California Financial, Scot Nicol and Mary Leaveck – Progressive Title, Eric Diamond – Tech Writer; Eric Rickling – Marketing. In the South Bay, there are many agents to choose from. Carol has proven to be a Top Producing agent who cares and works to get the job done.

About Appraisals >The Language of Real Estate Agents
Technical terms can be confusing to people who do not work in a profession, and real estate agents use language that may be confusing to many home buyers and sellers.
If you find your eyes glazing over when your real estate agent starts talking about escrow, clear title, easements, encroachments, contingencies, financing, appraisals and the closing process, don't hesitate to ask for a translation. Buying or selling a home is a major step, and professional real estate agents are totally committed to helping you understand the process thoroughly so that you can make informed decisions.
The simple transaction of trading the sellers' house for the buyers' money has become complicated by several hundred years of custom, common law, and state and local government requirements. Consumer demands have resulted in up-to-date rules that communication be as clear and understandable as possible. Real estate agents work to create an atmosphere in which you feel comfortable to ask questions.
