Carol Pierson

Title/Company Not Available

I got into real estate after a career in education. I was a teacher and principal. Then, after receiving a doctorate in educational psychology, I became a college professor and college dean. I chose my career in real estate so I could use my skills to educate people and help them make the best real estate decisions possible. Joining Revealty has allowed me to do that. It is a company whose focus is on serving, protecting, and looking out for the client’s best interests, as opposed to just selling them a house. My communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills help to give my clients an advantage in the marketplace. I love that part of the job! I take a great deal of pride in my professional expertise and in the level of individualized service I offer my clients. I really believe that when we give more than is expected of us, we get much more than we expect or could imagine.
My special interest is serving the 55+ market. Real estate decisions take on so much more complexity and impact so much of our lives and our families as we move toward retirement. In fact, the way we invision retirement itself can have a huge impact on the place we will want to live. I have earned my Senior Real Estate Specialist designation which has provided me much more detailed education for serving this specialized market. Now I can provide even more expertise and support to my senior clients who are navigating the road to retirement.
