About Carol
A longtime resident of New York City, Carol has a unique ability to assist buyers and sellers in navigating complex transactions on their way to realizing their real estate goals. She was regularly among the top 10-20 agents in Brooklyn at her prior brokerage, and a member of its Multi-Million Dollar Club. She is a co-principal of The Murphy Wang Team, which has sold over $600 million worth of residential property.
Carol's passion for helping people and attention to detail makes a career in real estate a natural fit. She loves helping clients see the potential in an unexpected space, and her background in home renovations and design is a benefit to sellers when it comes to staging. Her design work has been featured in Dwell Magazine and by various online design publications. She is well-versed in purchasing processes in condos (both resale and new development), coops, and townhouses. Her clients appreciate her ability to break down the steps, and her availability along the way for any and all questions. She has lived in Queens and Manhattan, and for the past dozen+ years, she has lived in Brooklyn with her family. Carol writes about home renovations for Sweeten.com, and her real estate insights and listings have been featured by the New York Times, Domino Magazine, Brownstoner, and Brick Underground.
Originally from Taiwan, Carol has also lived in London, Beijing, Houston, and Lexington, Virginia, and is at ease in any setting. She brings 15 years of experience as a communication and advocacy expert in nonprofits and foundations. She has presented work to diverse audiences, including at the United Nations and the European Parliament. She speaks Mandarin Chinese.
Testimonials
★★★★★
We highly recommend Carol! Carol helped us sell our apartment in Crown Heights and made the process seamless for us. We live in NJ, and we didn’t come into the city once during the selling process. Carol staged the apartment beautifully, arranged and attended all of the showings, arranged and let in repairmen, and handled the final walkthrough. And we got a great price for our apartment! Carol was fun and easy to work with. I’ve never really understood what value realtors add but with Carol it was very clear. Highly recommend!" - Tali and Ron

From our first through today, we have been so impressed by your professionalism and have absolutely loved working with you. We have recommended you to everyone we know who owns property in NYC!" - Rebecca and Josh
★★★★★
"Through the whole process, Carol was knowledgeable, organized, and most importantly, responsive. We always felt like her top priority. She worked seamlessly in the background with the sellers' agent and our lawyer, and we were closing before we knew it! We weren't sure about getting a buyer's agent in the beginning, but Carol was an immense value add. We'd recommend her to anybody." - Xixi and Chris
★★★★★
"Carol provided excellent advice about pricing, market trends, and very crucial details about the entire sales process. We cannot say enough about Carol's knowledge, openness, advice, and communication skills and highly recommend her services to all homesellers in the NYC metro area." - Amanda

"Carol helped my father and I find the perfect condo apartment. She was extremely responsive, professional, thorough, patient, and friendly. She very quickly tuned into what we were looking for. Carol's staging expertise was extremely helpful in us imagining how we would set up the various spaces we were seeing. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!" - Cynthia
★★★★★
"Carol put in all the work to stage my apartment for sale, resulting in a listing that looked amazing while being an accurate representation of the apartment. I was unsure of my home's value, but Carol was extremely confident on the listing price, and after the first open we had several bids over ask!" - Kris
★★★★★
"Carol was a partner from day one. As first time home buyers, she took the time to educate us on the ins and outs of the home-buying process. When we were finally ready to start browsing, she answered all of our questions, set us up with a great team, and helped us tour open houses to better understand the market. She became a trusted partner and friend, often our advisor for every aspect of life. She is highly knowledgeable, patient, accommodating, caring, friendly, easy to talk to, empathetic, trustworthy, and someone we have truly enjoyed spending time with. By the end, she came to know us better than we knew ourselves." - Karen
