"I wanted to take a few minutes to write a brief review about my recent experience with Carolyn Smith and the Coastal Estate Team at Compass. With Carolyn’s help, we just closed on our home purchase and she was there, tirelessly working for us every step of the way. From the very beginning, she was out searching to find us the home we were looking for, even though we had a rather rigid set of criteria to meet. She found us several options to look at and was incredibly knowledgeable about the areas and the neighborhoods we were considering, which helped immensely to narrow down our choices. In the end, she found the exact home that fit the bill for us! Once we decided, she was there every day, helping us with all the steps needed to make the purchase. She was brilliant with offering strategies and different ways to construct our offer and all subsequent negotiations. I just can not adequately express how incredibly useful all her help and advice were. Once we were rolling toward our closing, Carolyn, Jen and her entire team were there for us, answering questions, keeping us informed of next steps, etc. etc. I HIGHLY recommend Carolyn and her team, this was far and away the most detailed and comprehensive home buying experience we have ever had! 11 out of 10 stars!" - H Manning

“We just completed our SIXTH family real estate transaction with Carolyn and her team. And this was the hardest by far. We moved to the other side of the country and left our beautiful seaside townhouse totally in Carolyn’s care. During all the fluctuations in the economy and sudden problems arising Carolyn just kept going, taking care of business. At one point a friend asked me “Where did you find such an incredible real estate agent who responds so quickly and takes care of so many details?” I actually answered that Carolyn was an angel sent by God but I also explained that one day I was looking on the internet at listings I just liked the tone of Carolyn’s presentations. We contacted her just for a meet and greet at our previous house. From that beginning I have learned to trust Carolyn’s instincts, advice, intuition about the market and buyers and sellers….and most of all her INTEGRITY. Where DO you find someone like that? If you need a Real estate agent do yourself a favor. You can depend on Carolyn and her incredible team!” - Gary & Cathleen W.

All I can say is selling our home with Carolyn and her team was across the board a great experience. I am not good at long winded write-ups, but it is worth my time to say Thank You. She is available when needed, great with answering any and all our questions and making all transactions seamless. Amazing and truly overall just a wonderful person. I will always recommend and praise her and the Coastal Estate Team - Christine & Nick S.

"Carolyn was amazing. Her knowledge of the physical structure of buildings and property is outstanding to the point where her decisions can help you prep your property properly. Her knowledge of how to prepare it for sale is indispensable. It was comforting for me to know that she was trustworthy, forthright and correct in her points to help my family with our decisions." - Mike & Sue D.

★★★★★
"Carolyn was impressive in multiple ways: One learns quickly that her ethics and her professional demeanor is front and center; yet that did not diminish her creativity and her ability to find solutions that would lead to a deal. Her accessibility and responsiveness were always accompanied by a warm interaction, often with a broad smile. More evidence, we think, of experience and confidence. Loved her!."- Gary & Susan L.

"I recently had to relocate to Brevard County for work. Carolyn was recommended to me in good faith by a trustworthy friend who had recently employed her to help him find property. I contacted Carolyn to have her assist me in finding a home. Carolyn was able to narrow the search to homes that met my criteria, and she quickly had a feel for what homes would be best for me; she takes the time to listen and learn her clients' wants instead of imagining what she thinks will be best on her own. She has great knowledge of FL home characteristics and local builders, as well as a lot of details that might not be evident to a homebuyer. The whole team will go out of their way to make schedules work and get you in on showings quickly. In the end, Carolyn found a perfect house to become my new home in Florida. I highly recommend her office to handle your residential real estate needs." - Will J.

"Wow, Carolyn was excellent to work with! We found her online while looking for a place on the Atlantic coast. We were fortunate to connect with Carolyn who has vast knowledge of the market. We ended up going with new construction and she was diligent in helping us through the complexities of building on the coastline. While it was a lengthy process, she was with us every step of the way and we could not be happier with the outcome! Thank you Carolyn!” - Peter & Erika H.
