One of Carol's satisfied clients said, "Carol does the right thing, not the easy thing. That is my definition of a professional". Consistently known as a straight shooter by sellers, buyers and other real estate professionals in the community, Carol Temple delivers comprehensive factual information and advice even when she knows her clients may not want to hear it. No drama, no hype, no sugar coating...just up-to-date facts and trends that you can count on. Armed with facts, sellers and buyers are empowered to make knowledgeable decisions that are uniquely right for them and can have control over the process. Properties that Carol represents sell for an average of 99.16% of the asking price and they sell in an average of 12 days. Carol has earned the Certified Residential Specialist designation--the gold standard in the industry and the only one based on production and education requirements. Only 3 out of every 100 residential real estate professionals nationwide have this designation. She was recognized by Real Trends in 2015 and 2024 as one of the best agents in the U.S. Carol's experience and steady volume of business benefits sellers and buyers. She has successfully overcome challenges and implemented more solutions than agents who do not have her extensive experience or volume of business. Transactions are smooth and without surprises. A resident since 1959, Carol knows Arlington and Northern Virginia inside and out. She lives in Arlington, her children went through the Arlington County school system and she is familiar with the uniqueness of single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums in each and every neighborhood. As a seasoned, full-time residential sales agent for more than thirty years, she has solid, friendly working relationships with other top agents who know her strong work ethic in the close-knit Realtor® community. This benefits you as Carol often gets surprising results for the sellers and buyers she represents. Carol arms sellers and buyers with data and the facts. You can never ask too many questions as Carol is patient, unflappable, resourceful, accessible and she even answers the phone as well as responding quickly to texts. When she represents a seller or a buyer, that client gets her full attention. She does not have a team. Carol is the trusted, reliable resource from start to finish. You always get the Varsity "A" Team which is Carol and not the "B" team of less experienced agents. Sellers and buyers benefit from Carol's many contacts. Talented/reliable handymen, staging professionals, photographers, lenders, inspectors, and a loyal stable of tradespeople who respond promptly to Carol and her clients. Equally important, Carol knows who to avoid when clients are searching for assistance. Carol works with first-time sellers and buyers as well as those who have sold and purchased in the past. All through the process the seller and/or buyer is in charge. Carol is the experienced backstop who provides valuable information, strategy and guidance. Sellers and buyers can then make decisions that are uniquely right for them. Experience counts and you can count on Carol.
