Need Assistance or Have Questions?

Call Carol Fox at 704-905-3935 or send an email.

Carol acted as a representative on the new home that was being built in a new senior community.  She explained the contract as the sellers reviewed it, asked questions that I never would have thought to ask, and made certain I understood the contract before I signed it.  She attended every meeting I had with the builder and again asked questions that were very informative to me.  I do not know what I would have done if I had not had her with me during that process.  I can enthusiastically recommend Carol Fox to anyone wishing to buy or sell a home.  Her service is exceptional and she can be trusted to give you correct information and sound advice.
