Carol was an amazing realtor. She was informative and prepared every step of the way.  She kept an open line of communication and stuck with us through the challenges of selling our home. We greatly appreciate her professionalism and expertise and recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. Thank you Carol for all your guidance through the process.  

We bought our North Salem house through Carol Aprile and when we sold it 13 years later, we had no hesitation about asking Carol to be our Broker again. She is highly professional, made the whole process easy for us, and her delightful personality and good humor helped us get over the predictable rough spots. We never for a moment doubted that she was firmly in our corner, an extra plus.

I had the pleasure of working with Carol Aprile through two real estate transactions. She was the broker I selected for the sale of my fathers house in Katonah and then later for the sale of my own home in Pawling. Living in the same village, I had heard how skilled and professional she was in every aspect of the real estate business. In the sale of both homes, she did a superb job staging each house, artfully photographing both inside and outside of each home, and crafting vivid descriptions of each house for the brochure. She scheduled regular open houses and worked hard to publicize each event. Her work on each webpage was timely and beautifully done. Throughout the marketing process, she maintained close contact with me and sent me regular updates on feedback from prospective buyers. Her advice and suggestions clearly reflected her knowledge of current market conditions. When asked by a friend to describe her work as a realtor, I replied, thorough. She gave remarkable attention to detail in every part of the process and she put extraordinary effort into each sale. I had not ever sold a home before, so I was grateful for her knowledge and expertise. Although I cared about the marketing of both homes, the most important aspect for me was maintaining regular communication through the buyers offer, contract, and closing process. At this stage, experience truly matters. Here again, Carol was the consummate professional - always in close contact with me, with the real estate agent for the buyers, and also with the attorney handling the closing. She called me promptly with any offers, conditions or information pertinent to the sale of each house. Her experience and knowledge of real estate procedures and her smooth handling of all the various stages of the sale gave me confidence in the process and inspired me to do all I could on my end to support the efforts. Carol Aprile is a hard working, experienced professional who will guide even the most inexperienced seller or buyer through the often complex process of real estate. I am grateful to have had her as my agent.

Carol Aprile was remarkable and so helpful during the process of buying our first house. We were new to it and she guided us through the whole process. She is knowledgeable, helpful and efficient. We are very grateful and lucky that Carol was there for us.

In my professional capacity as the Development Director of the Katonah Museum of Art (KMA), I have greatly appreciated how supportive the Katonah office of Houlihan Lawrence has been to the museum. Through Carol and manager Roselyn Harburger, Houlihan Lawrence has financially supported and eagerly collaborated with the KMA, knowing and valuing how important cultural institutions are to this unique community.On a personal level, Carol Aprile was our fantastic realtor when my family moved from the city to Katonah. It was our first (and so far, only) home purchase and Carol held our hands, guided us through the bidding and financing process, and showed us only prospective houses that she knew would satisfy our needs. Through her proactive work, we found the house--a converted barn in the center of the village--that we have adored for over 14 years and can never image leaving. We enthusiastically recommend Carol to any friends who plan to move to the area.

This past summer I sold my home in Katonah with Carol as the listing agent. This was the 4th transaction that she had worked on for me ( the first one going back to 1997). I have nothing but good things to say about all of our interactions, Carol went beyond her job description. She was very professional and supportive during the whole process.That started with helping me with all preparations to put my home on the market, marketing the property, creating and following up after viewing appointments.Throughout the whole process we met several times to discuss market updates, feedback from potential buyers and other practical aspects.It has always been Carolsyears of experience that made me feel very confident that the sale was going to be as smooth as possible.Carol is an experienced negotiator who listened to my needs.She worked incredibly hard and was very personal and attentive. Anyone who works with Carol as a listing or buying agent (I had both experiences) will be pleased.

We are so thankful to haveworked with Carol in the search for our first house, which ended up taking place in the midst of the pandemic frenzy of 2020. Carol was irreplaceable in our hunt.In the age of so many online listings and virtual tours, it was helpful to work with someone who truly listened and understood exactly what features of a property were appealing to us. Carol always took the extra step of researching the full details of each property to provide us a sense for what kind of maintenance needs we could expect, or checking for any open permits or other factors that could influence our decision or timeline to close. These are the sorts of thoughtful considerations that you can only get from an experienced and well-connected local guide.Carol is incredibly responsive, and made herself available at all times of day and night to answer our questions, follow up on a new listing, or schedule tours on short notice. We always felt like we were her top priority, which was an immense comfort as first time buyers during a fast-paced market.In the end, we found a house that is even better than what we had dreamed of. Carol was essential in making it all happen!

Carol was extremely helpful in guiding our decluttering of our home before showing it. This included removing many of the pictures, which were numerou, and also, some of the furniture. We removed the wallpaper in one of the rooms and repainted. She helped us decide on a good price for the house so that it sold within a month of going on the market, unlike several other homes in the area which had been on the market much longer. She had several open houses and bids were made on the home in a very short time. Carol guided us through the negotiation to a successful outcome.

Thinking back on the past 11 months is almost a pleasure, no kidding. You were always the consummate professional, but we also connected on a more personal level. So, please, dont be embarrassed, but Id like to thank you in writing so you know for sure how much we appreciate your help from beginning to end. You had other clients along the way, but we always felt we had at least 100% of your attention. We always imagined it would be a total nightmare to do a major spruce-up of our 111-year old Victorian family home and put it on the market. So, we procastinated for years. But as soon as we followed a friends recommendation to contact you, you outlined the entire selling process for us in detail and made it all seem possible. You consulted on what repairs and cosmetic work would get the most bang for our buck. When I called you in a panic as the painters stood by, you used your considerable decorating talents to suggest paint colors (so many friends and realtives have raved over the paints and want to use the same ones in their homes). Later you offered valuable advice about staging so that our historic home would keep its charm but also appeal to younger buyers. And lets not forget the fabulous photos you took of the house during three seasons, so it would be shown off to its very best. We were especially impressed with your expertise during the all-important decision of listing price, your enthusiasm during open houses and your masterful handling of the mulitple bid situation that let to an accepted offer at a better price than we had even hoped for. Kudos to you! In short, you were our coach, cheerleader and constant guardian angel.
