“Mrs. Carter is a pro's PRO!!! Carmen proved herself to be the consummate professional, when it came to discussing our needs, addressing our needs and concerns all along the way as we embarked on the journey of finding our perfect home to live out the twilight years of our life. She is an excellent listener and masterfully structured our quest … only in towards meeting and fulfilling our personal requirements. She worked with us through the entire process of listing our former home, insuring that we fully understood the importance making and keeping our home in the best ready to show condition at all times. Her enthusiasm was contagious and her positivity promoted the perfect atmosphere for us as we realized that we were in the best of hands. The process got a little stressful in having to execute the dreaded paperwork processes with financial institutions, both ours, and external lending entities. She had "bull dog tenacity", in making sure in the end the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new residence had a very satisfactory and happy completion. My wife and I cannot sing her praises enough; along with the complete, caring staff of Carter Realty Group!
