Here’s what some of Carol Bushberg’s recent clients have to say about the advice and counsel they have received from Carol Bushberg Real Estate:
The Turners were glad they took their friends’ recommendation to call Carol Bushberg when they wanted to move closer to town.
"Last year, we decided to sell our home of 31 years in Lansing and move to a smaller house in Ithaca. Two friends independently recommended Carol Bushberg. Carol negotiated the purchase of our new house and stayed with us through a zoning hearing even after the closing. She gave us excellent advice on preparing our old house for listing, and navigated a complex sale process. Carol was very patient with us, firm with the other parties, and attentive to every detail.”

Leigh was nervous about making just the right choice, and appreciated Carol’s gentle guidance.
“Carol Bushberg is endlessly patient. Without her willingness to listen to my fears and resistance, I would never have been able to buy a house! I am living proof that even a severe neurotic can have her own home with the help of Carol Bushberg!”
Leigh Keeley, pleased to be sitting in her own home.
The Shelleys sold their Ellis Hollow home in order to purchase land to build their dream home. Carol helped make both transactions smooth and effortless.
“Carol has been great to work with.She works quickly, efficiently, and does so with an excellent understanding and knowledge of the current market and trends.In short, she is organized, effective, and trustworthy. Working with Carol makes the buying and selling transition easy.”

David and Emily didn’t have to go far to find a real estate professional; they are Carol’s former neighbors.
“Carol Bushberg is thorough, competent, and professional. At the same time she really cares about her clients and takes time to learn what is important to them. Carol works well with colleagues and knows Ithaca first hand from many years of experience. We recommend her without reservation.You can place your total trust in her.”
Emily and David are now enjoying the climate in Asheville, NC.
Barbara Johnson worked with Carol to buy a home and was impressed with her knowledge, experience and personal approach:
“Sound advice for big decisions doesn't begin to cover it. Carol certainly knows her way around the real estate world, but you'd expect that from any realtor you worked with. She is very straight forward, pointing out the pros and cons, and not at all pushy. She listened to what I was looking for and only showed properties that fit the criteria. But beyond that, she gets to the heart of the matter. Her sound advice was on many levels.”

Lyn Pohl and Jim McGarry took their time finding the right house, and appreciated the depth of service they received from Carol Bushberg Real Estate.
“As transplants from eastern Massachusetts, we faced a challenging transition to the Ithaca area. Carol Bushberg was with us each step of the way, remaining patient, providing advice, offering invaluable suggestions, and guiding us through the process. After 15 long months of looking, we finally found our home. Carol was willing to show us anything in the county and beyond, and worked with us to ensure all our questions were answered. Carol is always professional; tough when she needs to be; charming to spend time with; and informed as only someone with years of experience can be. Carol not only helped us find our home, but she has also become a friend. You, too, will enjoy working with Carol, and we enthusiastically recommend her.”

Anne and Jim Morrissette listed their long-time home with Carol Bushberg Real Estate. Carol walked them through this potentially daunting process.
"Carol Bushberg sold our home and what a positive experience it was from beginning to end! Our old home wasn't in tip top shape so we needed lots of advice to prepare for getting it on the market. She knew just what to have us do and not to do to increase its marketability but not incur unnecessary expense. Once we listed the house we had a signed purchase offer in a week! Carol was available every step of the way, always easy to reach and responsive to our questions and concerns. She has extensive knowledge of the area, seems to know all the other real estate professionals, and has a contact for every need that arose. What a relief it was to put ourselves in such capable hands!"

Everett Boutillet, a mortgage loan officer with Alternatives Federal Credit Union and his partner, Louis Johnson, a graphic designer, worked with Carol Bushberg Real Estate to sell their property in Spencer, NY. They are now happily living “off the grid” in Danby, NY.
"Borrowers sometimes ask me (and I used to wonder myself) why a Realtor is necessary. Now I know! Your assistance with the sale of our home was indispensable, your commission well earned. We’re extremely grateful for your professional expertise and personal attention."
Everett Boutillet and Louis Johnson, former owners of 51 Academy St. Spencer, NY.
