As an independent Realtor with Carolina One, solving problems means finding the best methods to get her clients the home they want. In business for 12 years, the Mount Pleasant resident, who works throughout the Charleston area, believes honesty in the best policy. “If my clients ask me a question and I’m not sure of the answer, I’ll ask them to allow me to do some research and get back to them.” Getting back to her clients and others she is involved with professionally also is one of her most valuable assets. “It’s all about respecting the people you are working with and calling them back when they try to reach you. It’s very simple but something a lot of business people forget,” she said. She added, “I’m so grateful that my clients have chosen me to work with, and I feel an obligation to do my very best for each of them every day.” L ora Goolsby is a good listener, and, as a Realtor with Carolina One, that attribute has served her well in her three-and-a-half years in the profession. “I try to listen more than talk,” the Mount Pleasant resident and former insurance agent said. “That allows me to determine exactly what my clients’ desires and needs are.” Goolsby was a bit apprehensive about making the jump from Palmetto Christian Academy, where she was working at her children’s school, to real estate. She explained that her career change was made easier by the fact that she “just went into it head first.” She added, “I am constantly acquiring more education, and Carolina One has an excellent teaching program that has helped immensely.” A member of the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors, Goolsby has achieved a Gold Level of Excellence from Carolina One. She relies on her strong faith, “to help me determine the right path to take for my clients.” BY JOHN TORSIELLO Photo by Jenn Cady.
