Carol grew up in Abilene, Texas, before attending the University of Texas at Austin, where she earned a BA in Education. After UT graduation, she and her husband Steve spent a few years on the east coast before returned to Austin, a city they’ve proudly called home ever since. Before beginning her real estate career, Carol spent many years teaching young children—an experience that strengthened her communication skills, empathy, and ability to connect with people from all backgrounds. Her extensive community volunteer work also gave her a deep understanding of Austin’s needs and a foundation in leadership. It is important that she gets to know her clients so that she can help them find the right neighborhood for them to live in.
Carol’s transition into real estate began when her sons reached middle and high school. Through a Junior League course that highlighted the value of her volunteer experience, she was encouraged to explore the profession—advice that proved life-changing. Since earning her both her sales and broker licenses, Carol has built a thriving career spanning many years. She has managed two offices, served as a trainer, mentored numerous agents, and consistently delivered exceptional service as a Realtor. Most of her clients come from personal referrals and repeat clients. Her deep neighborhood knowledge, attentive follow-up, and sensitivity to her clients’ needs have made her a trusted and respected professional. A seasoned Realtor, she continues her education each year to stay current in an evolving industry.
Carol and her husband Steve, now retired from the insurance business and is ranching in Comanche County, have two adult sons: Mark, who has worked with her as her business partner in real estate since 2020, and Kevin, who owns his insurance agency, Sentry Agency Texas, in Austin. They also have three beloved grandchildren who keep the family joyfully busy. Outside of work, Carol enjoys reading, gardening, volunteering, participating in her Austin Junior League groups gathering with her cooking club and book club, traveling internationally and in the US, and spending time at the family’s Strickland Ranch.
