About Carole Smith

Realtor, Vice President (27 years experience) Specialties:Buyer's Agent,Listing Agent,Relocation,Landlord Carole believes that our homes are an important part of our lives, giving us shelter, security, and a means of self-expression. Homes are the uniquely public representations of who we are, perhaps more than any other material possession we have. Separate from the constraints of necessity, many homes are a microcosm for the things we hold most dear -- family, memories, relaxation and sense of belonging. "Home and family are cornerstones in my own life and I strive to share my expertise with clients so that their real decisions mirror their own goals. Upsizing and downsizing are semantics, real estate is more than a financial transaction; it's typically about a family's safe haven. With this in mind, I treat the process with singular focus and the utmost respect because it demands nothing less." It is no surprise that this core belief regarding the importance of home has fueled her impressively successful real estate career of 25 years in the luxury South Florida communities of Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Pinecrest and nearby areas. Passion for this industry and her life in general exude from her constantly. She feels if one is passionate about their life and their work, they will always bring their "A" game to the table. Over 2000 satisfied clients would agree as she has masterfully matched buyers to their new homes and has skillfully negotiating the best prices and terms for her Sellers. This client-centric approach has yielded unprecedented referral and repeat business allowing Carole to forge life-long relationships with clients her become friends. In 2014, Carole was named Realtor of the Year by the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce. She has twice been named Realtor of the Year by Florida's Best Award. She has been named a South Florida Mega-broker by Unique Homes Magazine and is a member of the prestigious Master Brokers Forum of Florida. Carole is a certified Luxury Homes Specialist and was inducted into the Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate. She holds a certificate from Harvard Law School's Program on Negotiations and is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Florida. When not selling real estate, Carole's favorite pastimes are reading, advocating for her beloved Village of Coconut Grove, where she resides, and hosting dinner parties filled with spirited discourse, great music, and a lot of laughter. She has a terrible voice but loves to sing anyway.

Carole Smith and George Schechter of Compass Realty did an outstanding job of helping us sell our home. They came highly recommended, and were exceptional in all aspects of their work. We originally met Carole and George when they came to appraise our home for sale. They quickly assessed not only the value of our home but the best strategy for sale. We were very impressed by their analysis and decided to place our home for sale with them. For us, time was of the essence and Compass listed our house within the week. Despite the increased interest rates, our house was under contract within eight days of listing. The price was excellent, and the contract included some complicated terms that we requested and were necessary in order to enable us to move. Carole and George were excellent in helping us sell our home. They worked in a timely fashion, communicating with us throughout the negotiations, and pricing our home just where it needed to be. They also have an exceptional team that supported us throughout all aspects of the sale. We highly recommend them to any buyer or seller.

I had always enjoyed reading Carole's columns on magazines and I met Carole in March 2022 to discuss the sale of my house in Coral Gables. But for some reasons I did not list it with Carole and the house did not get sold in a hot hot hot market in 2022. I was very despondent back then. When I met again with Carole's team for the rental listing in August 2023, I felt great energy from her team and I decided to put it back on the market "for sale". Smith Formosa team is small but very strong. And they work super smart. I am a single Asian woman with a full-time job who was selling remotely but they did ALL the work for me. We received an offer on Day 1 but during the inspection, we ran into unexpected issues. I thought the deal would not go through and was reaching out to contractors remotely. But Carole and Cristina came up with great solutions and we were able to close in less than 45 days from Day 1 on the market. I just trusted their pricing and marketing strategies along with their 30+ year experience, and the whole process went very smooth. Carole and Cristina truly understand what the family, home and community mean to us, and they really "help" their clients. Carole, Cristina, and Lety (the great women's power in the real estate transactions), thank you so much and I hope all of you to be well and continue to prosper!

I cannot fully express my gratitude for Carole Smith and Christina Formosa from Compass Realty. They are exceptional real estate agents who made the process of selling our home a stress-free and successful experience. Their extensive knowledge of the local market, combined with her keen eye fro detail helped us price our home competitively. Carole and Christina guided us through the entire process, from staging and professional photography to negotiating with potential buyers. Thanks to their efforts, we received multiple offers and sold our home quickly and over the asking price. What sets Carole and Christina apart are their dedication to their clients. They were always available to answer our questions and address concerns, providing honest and insightful advice. Carole and Christina have again exceeded our expectations in a tough, challenging market and delivered exceptional results. There is no one else we could possibly recommend more.

Clodagh is a top notch real estate professional! We live in Washington state and were looking for a place for our son to live while attending university. Being a dedicated realtor myself, I set about trying to find a realtor that was willing to put in the time and effort that I would normally do for my clients. Not knowing if we wanted to purchase or rent, I reached out to Clodagh for help. She didn't waste a moment to get us started in our house hunt. Whether it was a rental or possible purchase, she handled them both with detailed attention. We viewed several properties with her via FaceTime, and she was always sure to follow up with more information. In the end, we purchased a condo. She was very competent in the negotiations, lining up inspections as requested, explaining processes and in helping us close on the property early. Her steady approach was very reassuring and we would not hesitate to recommend her to our friends & family. Thanks Clodagh!

Kefryn Reese helped us sell our suburban 4BR/3BA home in good time for a good price in what turned out to be a slowing market. We had lived in the house for ~40 years and had no clue about the process, so we needed a lot of coaching and hand-holding, and she explained many things for us. She also had the knowledge and understanding to highlight an atypical aspect of the property and showcase it very positively. She was extremely responsive and was able to keep communications moving in a positive direction with the eventual buyer. We would highly recommend her to another owner looking to sell a property in Miami.
