★★★★★
"What does perfection look like—Carole Smith, of course!
Her professionalism, her knowledge of the Miami real estate market, her marketing abilities, her understanding of what makes a house marketable, her “Rolodex” of recommended painters, plumbers, attorneys and tradesmen, her negotiating skills, her empathy for her clients all combine to make Carole Smith the consummate real estate agent.
More than a year before we ultimately sold our home, we contacted Carole for a consultation. In our first interview Carole spent a great amount of time giving us a candid but fair estimation of our house—its overall condition, its flaws, and virtues. We then embarked on what could be described as a partnership as we readied our house for sale. As we made certain changes and purchases, we consulted with Carole. She was there for us on an almost 24/7 basis. We listened carefully to Carole’s advice, to her recommendations on pricing strategies, and ultimately to evaluating buyer proposals Carole Smith was with us all the way. In our opinion, you could not find a better agent!"-David G.

"My husband and I were introduced to Carole Smith and her wonderful team by my father and mother in law. They knew we needed the absolute best in the business to sell our home and to find us the perfect home just in time for the arrival of our second baby. Even though the time frame to sell and buy our new home was limited, due to my impending due date, Carole and her team made real estate magic and just within one week of listing our home, we were under contract! Her invaluable real estate experience made for the smoothest transaction and within 30 days our home officially closed! But what about our new home? With her guidance, we found a beautiful house that fits our growing family perfectly! In such a comparative marker, Carole and Cristina made sure that our offer and personalized letter to the Sellers and Agent not only conveyed our qualifications to purchase the home, but also our story as young parents. I’m not sure if selling and buying a house during the third trimester of pregnancy is a decision made by most reasonable parents, but I can confidently say that Carole and her team can take on any situation. In what could be a stressful time during our lives, Carole and Cristina have been amazingly attentive as both are respected professionals ready to provide unmatched real estate experience. Carole, thank you for working with us!"-Claudia & Andrew

"Carole is very responsive, attentive and full of great advice. Once we were ready to relocate Carole spent two days with me touring properties that fit our criteria while being introduced to many local realtors. Carole explained the history and differences between Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Coconut Grove, and South Miami. We recently closed on our home in Coral Gables. Carole was on top of it throughout the entire process. I didn’t hesitate on recently recommending Carole to a family member. We consider her a great resource."-Peter T.

About Carole
Carole believes that our homes are an important part of our lives, giving us shelter, security, a means of self-expression. Homes are the uniquely public representations of who we are, perhaps more than any other material possession we have. Separate from the constraints of necessity, many homes are a microcosm for the things we hold most dear — family, memories, relaxation sense of belonging.

“Home and family are cornerstones my own life I strive to share my expertise with clients so that their real decisions mirror their own goals. Upsizing downsizing are semantics, real estate is more than a financial transaction; it’s typically about a family’s safe haven. With this in mind, I treat the process with singular focus the utmost respect because it demands nothing less.”

It is no surprise that this core belief regarding the importance of home has fueled her impressively successful real estate career of 25 years in the luxury South Florida communities of Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Pinecrest and nearby areas.

Smith Formosa Team

In 2023, Carole partnered with her Executive Director of over 12 years, Cristina Formosa, to form the Smith Formosa Team. It's an evolution of her highly esteemed group that she led for decades. The 2000 satisfied clients would agree as she has masterfully matched buyers to their new homes and has skillfully negotiating the best terms for her Sellers. This client-centric approach has yielded unprecedented referral and repeat business allowing Carole to forge life-long relationships with clients who have enthusiastically cheered on her growth and the formation of the Smith Formosa Team..

In 2023, the Miami Herald reader awards named the Smith Formosa Team the best Luxury Real Estate Team in Miami and also awarded Carole with top honors as the best Miami Realtor.  She has twice been named Realtor of the Year by Florida’s Best Award. She has been named a South Florida Mega-broker by Unique Homes Magazine and is a member of the prestigious Master Brokers Forum of Florida. Carole is a certified Luxury Homes Specialist and was inducted into the Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate. She holds a certificate from Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiations and is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Florida.

When not selling real estate, Carole’s favorite pastimes are reading, advocating for her beloved Village of Coconut Grove, where she resides, and hosting dinner parties filled with spirited discourse, great music, and a lot of laughter. She has a terrible voice but loves to sing anyway.
