Carol Moore is delighted to be your Senior Real Estate Specialist® Designation instructor and looks forward to assisting you with serving your maturing clients with knowledge, compassion and care.
Carol is from Chicago and is a long time resident of the South Suburbs. She began her career as an Illinois REALTOR® in 1993 and a licensed Broker in 1995 after being a Certified Public Accountant for 8 years. Carol has been a licensed real estate pre-licensing and continuing education instructor since 2017 and earned the SRES® designation in 2014.
Currently, Carol serves on the Board of Directors of the Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS®, which represents over 20,000 local suburban REALTORS®. She also serves on Mainstreet's Senior Services (since 2018) and Government Affairs (since 2020) Committees.
When Carol is not helping clients or volunteering, she loves attending outdoor music venues, cardio drumming, her 40+ Double Dutch Club and spending time with friends and family. She and her husband Ronnie have a full household including their two 18-year-old sons, Isaac and Jordan, who are attending their freshman year of college out of state, Carol's mother, Betty and Brandy, their 60-pound, 9-year-old Labradoodle.
Over the past 29 years in real estate, Carol has learned that the real work is keeping everyone and everything connected to get to the closing table successfully. She prides herself on having a very client-focused approach and on leveraging her strong negotiation and marketing skills to improve her client’s experience. Carol truly appreciates the opportunity to help people who are going through some of life’s toughest transitions – like serious illness, reduced mobility, divorce or losing a loved one – and navigating through the real estate process, which sometimes can seem a bit overwhelming.
She has special compassion and patience for seniors from helping several close senior family members transition through various phases of life like: right-sizing to the next home or active senior living communities, serious illness, in-home caretaking, assisted living, nursing home, hospice care, applying for medicaid, and more. She hopes to share her love for serving seniors in the SRES® Designation Course.
