about

Carol is joining Lamacchia Realty with 25+ years of residential real estate sales experience. She was 1st licensed in 1996 after a career in the legal profession as a paralegal. After working 70+ hours a week with little return, she found that she was burnt out, and it was time to take control of her career and become her own boss! A long-time friend was an agent who encouraged her to change professions and get her real estate license.

Carol is described by her clients as thorough, hardworking, and someone who conducts her business with integrity. Carol helps her clients by listening to their needs and wants.  She is honest and will always tell them the good, along with the bad in the current market, and how she’ll ultimately get them through it!  Carol dedicates 100% of her time and energy to servicing her clients before, during, and after the sale. Her business has grown over the years by past clients who refer their friends, family, and coworkers on a regular basis. Carol has also made it a goal to ramp up her business with better systems and support by joining Lamacchia Realty.

With Carol’s 25+ years of real estate experience in Massachusetts & New Hampshire, she has grown from a salesperson to a broker-owner. As a broker-owner Carol had multiple partners of 5 locations with over 150 agents. Carol came to realize that she derives the most enjoyment from helping buyers and sellers successfully achieve their goals of homeownership and not from management. Carol’s philosophy is quite simple. In every situation, she puts herself in her clients’ shoes. She treats your money like it’s her own. She is committed to building strong, lifelong relationships one person at a time. 
 

Carol grew up in Somerville, MA, but has resided in Burlington, MA, for the last 16 years with her husband, Stephen, and daughter, Caroline, along with their Labrador named Cooper and cat Lola!

Carol was so helpful and on top of every detail. As first time home owners she was so patient with us and talked us through every step of the way. We appreciate everything she has done for us!

My wife and I moved to Massachusetts from California and were operating on a very tight timeline to find a home in the Boston area. Carol organized a detailed itinerary for our house hunting trip which resulted in 16 showings over a three day span. She provided guidance each step of the way allowing us to submit competitive offers and ultimately close on an expedited timeline. We are grateful for her efforts and would encourage friends family and anyone else to utilize her skills and expertise.

Carol made a stressful process a lot easier. She knew what I was looking for and provided a huge list of properties each week. She had a great understanding of the market helpful information about each town and great insight into potential concerns with each property we looked at. Her knowledge of the market enabled me to find a great home which we got under asking price. I didn't believe that was possible in this market. I highly recommend Carol if you are in need of a real estate agent!

We are writing to express our deepest gratitude for your exceptional work in handling the sale of our family home at 17 Bonner Ave, Somerville, MA. Selling a house is never a simple process, but selling one that has been in our family for 114 years carried a weight of emotion and history that we knew would require a very special touch. From our first meeting, we were confident that we had found the right person in you. Your expertise, professionalism, and unwavering dedication were evident every step of the way. We were particularly impressed by your profound understanding of the unique character and challenges of a home in the historic district of Union Square. You saw the value not just in the property, but in its legacy. Your guidance on how to best prepare and present the house, honoring its history while highlighting its potential for a new family, was simply invaluable. What truly set you apart, however, was the clear pride you take in your work. It was more than just a transaction for you; you treated our home with the same care and respect that we have for it. Your sensitivity to the emotional side of this sale was a great comfort to our entire family. You kept us informed, reassured us through our anxieties, and navigated every detail with a calm confidence that made a difficult process feel manageable and positive. Thanks to your expertise and tireless efforts, the sale was a wonderful success. We have been able to close this significant chapter of our family's history feeling peace and gratitude, knowing that the home is in good hands. We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for us. We will enthusiastically recommend you to anyone in need of a realtor who offers not just market expertise, but genuine care and integrity. Wishing you all the best.
