From Every Bird A Nest
The Lark is not ashamed
To build upon the ground
Her modest house
~ Emily Dickenson

Carol grew up in Alabama but has called North Carolina home since she came to Greensboro for college in the early nineties. Instead of attending graduation from college, she drove straight to Asheville and started looking for a job.  After teaching English for almost 20 years, she moved into a Real Estate career. Her dad gave her a keen eye for detail in architecture as he loved a good abandoned house to wander through. Her Mom worked for Southern Living, exposing her to a variety of styles and the remarkable statement of a home (and a lot of casserole and coleslaw recipes). Her husband Rob Motley has been a contractor in Asheville for 11 years building green homes. 
She understands the level of patience, the challenge of decisions and excitement of change when it comes to buying, selling or building a home. She knows first hand as she and her family have moved 6 times in the last 13 years, 3 of the homes built by her husband.
 Carol listens and follows through to deliver the most supportive advice. Be it the seller or the buyer, everyone has a unique set of character traits they are seeking or wanting to highlight in a house or property. She loves the sweet details of an old house and reveres the fine points of a modern home. She aims to be ready and willing to ease the suspense and uncertainty of the buying or selling process. She offers thorough investigation and analysis to all of her clients so that everyone feels taken care of.  Ultimately, Carol hopes to bring a straightforward atmosphere with care, trust and loyalty to all transactions knowing that a happy customer is a customer for life.
 Her loves are reading, creative writing, exercising and hiking too far with her husband and two kids. Other real loves - traveling to far flung places that push her comfort level, anything artsy, plants and a packed antique store with odd junque.
