Philosophy
My philosophy is simple - A Great Realtor only sells what she knows.
Here is what a recent client had to say about Carol Lee Cikanek, "Having bought and sold houses several times over the last 10 years, we were familiar with the process and have had variable assistance from realtors in the past - some very good and some mediocre. We can say unequivocally that Carol has far exceeded prior experiences and expectations in many areas - her advice, opinions, responsiveness, "pro-activeness", and professionalism..........* Her years of experience and her ability to draw on that experience to offer practical advice was evident from the outset.........* Carol's level of professionalism and integrity has been exemplary. She communicates very well and while being extremely responsive, she goes one step further to spend the required time to address our questions and concerns. Imran & Niema Qureshi
