About Carol Ann

I love what I do! I’ve been a licensed Realtor® for over 17 wonderful years and have active licenses in California & Illinois (@properties Christie’s International Real Estate). This expanded perspective gives me a unique edge when working with our clients. I began my real estate career in my hometown, Chicago. In early 2015, a new chapter began as I set my sights on Southern California, obtaining my California license, and diving headfirst into the dynamic market. As a co-founder of the CAL Estates Group at AKG | Christie’s International Real Estate, my business partner and I bring 29 years of experience. Our partnership is built on values of compassion, creativity, collaboration, and unwavering integrity. Our complementary strengths and personalities elevate our client’s experiences from excellent to truly exceptional. Our focus extends beyond transactions – we’re dedicated to helping clients achieve both their short-term and long-term lifestyle dreams. Before my path led me to real estate, I carved out a niche in the Hospitality industry. Years spent immersed in customer service, marketing, and technology lent me a robust skill set. Not only did I own my own restaurant, I managed several well-known restaurants in Chicago, held the role of Fresh Foods/New Concept Manager for a franchise with 200+ locations, and served as Sales Manager for a firm that provided tech solutions to the restaurant industry. When I’m not immersed in the world of real estate, you’ll find me living in a mid-century gem that is the very home where my husband grew up. Our household is a lively mix of our daughter, rescue animals (we’ve got two awesome dogs and a cat), and a shared love for exploration. Whether it’s seeking out live music, indulging in good food, or exploring Southern California, we are always up for anything exciting. I also have a love for DIY and am more comfortable around a lumber yard than a shoe store. My next big endeavor: transforming our garage into a music studio for my husband’s musical pursuits, or maybe an amazing wood shop for me! Life is an adventure, and I’m thrilled to be on this journey, helping clients and enjoying every moment along the way!

"Carol Ann went above and beyond all of our expectations! She worked really hard for us, was always available/on call to answer questions or talk us through any step of our sale and purchase. She used the utmost care with Corona Virus practices to ensure our safety and all those we came in contact with. Not only was she highly professional and a pleasure to work with, we feel we’ve gained a great friend and would recommend her to anyone. It was clear that Carol Ann was a specialist in Glendora. She knew this city well, knew the neighborhoods well and because of that she could meet our expectations on the selection of our purchased home. We can not say enough amazing things about her and have already told all our friends and family to use her in the future!"

"My parents lived in their home for almost 60 years, and raised four children in Glendora. I am the only sibling still living in California and was also the only one who had never bought or sold a home. With that experience lacking, I relied on Carol Ann to educate and guide me through the process of not only selling a home, but in preparing a home to be sold; and in which she excelled. Carol Ann impressed us with her candor, ethics, professionalism, knowledge of the Glendora real estate market, and strong communication skills as reflected in her ability to really "hear us." We were confident that Carol Ann could guide us though the emotional and strategic process of selling our family home and it was clear she worked with reputable, competent, accessible and supportive real estate associates. And then with the sudden, unprecedented and changing impact of the coronavirus locally, nationally and internationally, it was because of Carol Ann's intelligence, experience, knowledge, expertise, patience and flexibility that resulted in a successfully marketed and well priced sale of our family home. And she kept her sense of humor throughout! Carol Ann exceeded our every expectation, and I recommend her wholeheartedly."

"Carol Ann is a Rock Star, She made our process seamless while we could not complete the sale in the past with another REA. Carol Ann, also helped us find and negotiate the purchase of our next home. This is a very stressful process, however Carol Ann made it easy and simple for us. Not only she sold our home quick, but also above asking price. I would highly recommend Carol Ann to anyone whom would want a successful RE transaction."
