Carolyn Young grew up in Riverdale and - as a lifelong resident - is familiar with all the ins and outs of this special community. She thoroughly enjoys being a resource and guide for her clients.

Carolyn was in the corporate travel business for over 25 years, whereby she learned how to offer excellent service to meet the needs of busy executives. She also managed a Yacht Charter Business which often demanded complicated arrangements for travel and yacht packages and proved excellent preparation for her current real estate career.

Carolyn’s goal- and often greatest challenge- in real estate is to find the right property or right buyers/tenants for her clients. Whether it’s a rental or a sale, nothing gives her more satisfaction than making her clients happy.

In her spare time, she likes to relax at the beach and spend time with friends. Carolyn is a people person who also works at a pub, allowing her to interact with many different personalities- which she finds very enjoyable. Carolyn has traveled to many islands in the Caribbean and still continues to enjoy travelling and discovering new places.

“Carolyn sold my co-op in Riverdale in two weeks! Her initial appraisal was both honest and realistic, and she advised on what could be done to make the apartment more appealing. She then found a variety of viewers, and managed all expectations well. The first serious offer to come in was accepted and we had a contract in place in under a month. Carolyn provided an excellent service throughout and was always on hand to respond to queries and concerns. In addition, her outgoing and bubbly personality helped facilitate discussions between the various parties. Well recommended!” - Simon P.

“How wonderful and helpful Carolyn Young was from the beginning to the end of the sale of my coop. Carolyn’s communication and keeping me involved and aware of what was going on through the entire process was simply amazing. She was professional, educated, and able to walk me through everything as we went from finding a buyer to the closing. I would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone in the Riverdale area looking to buy or sell a home.” – Dan S.

"Carolyn Young did an excellent job acting as our exclusive selling broker in connection with the sale of our Riverdale co-op apartment. She worked very well with the buyer's broker. She also expeditiously facilitated the buyer's submission of their application to the coop's managing agent and the coop board's approval of the buyer. We can recommend her without reservation, especially for the sale of large units such as ours." – Victor & Betty G.
