"WEA
offers the kind of environment that really suits me," she said. "My
colleagues, my clients, and I share many of the same interests, such as
international money markets. It's just exciting to be around people who
are stimulating, who bring new ideas to the table, and who encourage a
deeper level of service with a focus on reason and reflection."
For
Carol, that service is concentrated on finding her clients the right
house or the right buyer for their house, as well as superb strategic
marketing, excellent communication skills and follow-through, and a
careful attention to the legal and financial intricacies of her
transactions - aspects she can ably manage thanks to her vast
experience and impressive educational background. Her
Bachelor of Science in Statistics from Stanford and Masters in Business
Administration from UCLA helped build the foundation that paved the way
for Carol's continued success over the years, and are integral to her
thriving collaborations with colleagues and clients.
"I have clients who are lawyers who call me for the paperwork that will save a deal," she said. "I
have clients who are very high powered who ask me to analyze the
financial details of a house or the legal aspects or tax ramifications
of a deal for them. I really appreciate that they trust me and consider
me a part of their team."
That
trust is built from the very beginning of a transaction, and maintained
long after it is over, yielding a great many satisfied clients.
"Over
the last 25 years, I have bought and sold houses with many of the top
real estate agents in New York and California," said Stephen M. Brown.
"But not until I handed one of my properties (and now all of them!) to
Carol Bird, was I ever before wrapped in such a reassuringly efficient
'cocoon of capability'. At a time when so many
allegedly 'top' real estate agents (especially in Los Angeles) are
little more than charm and chatter, it is a pleasure to find one who
not only has the charm (and the chatter) but also a head for details
and the uncanny knack of always being able to locate the right buyer -
at the best price - in the shortest time."
Added
J. Crawford: "Carol Bird is an extraordinary realtor. Aside from being
enthusiastic, empathetic, and energetic, she is extremely focused and
determined to see that every detail is accomplished thoroughly and
quickly. She also has terrific business acumen and can handle the most
complex transactions with imagination and creativity. She really goes
the extra distance for her clients."
Carol's
willingness to go above and beyond and her track record of exceeding
expectations applies to every type of client; in addition to the
well-known celebrities, the high-powered executives, and the company
CEOs, Carol also represents a number of equestrian clients - a nod to
one of her hobbies.
"I
work with a lot of horse properties, which is great because I compete
jumping horses," said Carol, who also takes dance lessons in tango and
salsa and dances the west coast swing socially. "That is one of my passions."
