Carol Carter Senior Sales Executive

I have personally bought and sold over 80 properties, from vacant land to blocks of units to residential subdivisions and commercial properties in both Australia and Bali. But none so challenging as our latest sale, a prestige waterfront property in a regional area that also doubled as a wedding venue.

Over the years, I’ve also worked with dozens of agents but for sheer tenacity, experience and expertise none can hold a candle to Carol Carter. Not only is she an exacting strategist and master negotiator, Carol has a sixth sense for knowing exactly what’s required every step along the way.

How many times did I suggest that we send through this photo or that extra spreadsheet, and always her reply would be the same: “Janet, keep it simple.”

So many agents I have worked with are really working for the buyer, but Carol is one of the rare ones who sets herself the goal of getting the seller the very best possible price, while also managing to convince the buyer they’ve scored the deal of the century. Better still, she is absolutely outcome focused, doesn’t overpromise and in our case accomplished the impossible by securing a sale in what is probably a record-breaking time frame for a property of this kind: 3 months all up from original briefing to signing of the contract.

Each step of the way, Carol was guiding us and the buyer, managing expectations on both sides till she finally got the deal over the line. Final outcome: a very happy buyer and seller - the perfect result.

Thank you Carol, you are an absolute legend and anyone who secures you as their agent should feel very lucky indeed!

I am writing to you regarding the purchase of our new home with Carol Carter. Even though our settlement was back in January this year, I have been meaning to write to you regarding how professional Carol was in assisting us to find the right property for our situation. Originally we sold our home which was large, many stairs and becoming difficult for me to look after as my husband had suffered a stroke towards the end of 2016 and as a result is partially blind. So after contacting Carol she suggested that we might like to consider Royal Pines at Benowa. We looked at several properties at Royal Pines in different areas and eventually settled on where we now reside. Carol was extremely professional in her negotiations for us, every part of the deal went smoothly, there was no stress as we felt confident every step during the entire process. We moved into our new one level villa, my husband and I are extremely happy. I now am having golf lessons which is a first for me and allows me some time to be out and about in a very secure safe environment which was not possible before. During the few days after moving into our new home Carol personally delivered and presented us with a very nice gift of Champagne and a leather wine carrier, both were beautifully wrapped with a very kind hand written note. Such a professional but also a very personal touch. I will certainly be recommending Carol to anyone wanting to buy or sell property, she has a wonderful understanding of the current market and puts a lot of effort into searching for the correct property which could be suitable to purchase according to ones needs.

My wife and I have known Carol for approximately 9 years and during this time we have dealt with her first acting for the seller of a property that we purchased and then 9 years later as our agent when we sold the same property - testimony to the high regard which both myself and my wife have for Carol.

On every occasion, Carol has been the consummate professional and brings a maturity of approach that is rarely found, but much needed, in the property industry. She takes the time to properly and appropriately market a property and understand the needs and wishes of both the buyer and the seller - it is this ingredient that is at the heart of her success.

Both myself and my wife have no hesitation in recommending Carol and the Sotheby’s team for all of your real estate needs.
