Few people know the meaning of "rise and shine" as well as Carol Russo, who typically gets up before 5 a.m. and hits the ground running. More accurately, Carol starts the day "spinning" at an area gym. Her intense workout consists of an hour long cycling class plus a weight lifting routine. "It sets the tone and the pace for my whole day," she says. Her daily workout functions as the launching point for this enthusiastic Southlake resident, who's absolutely determined to make the most of every waking hour. When it comes to Southlake living, Carol has energy to spare!

Her Signature Style
That high level of energy just happens to be Carol's signature style. For a number of years she taught step aerobics, where "the gym became my home away from home," she says. A native of Ohio, Carol earned a bachelor of fine arts degree from Bowling Green State University, with a specialization in graphic design. She went on to receive a marketing-focused MBA from the University of Texas in Arlington. Soon after, she launched a highly successful career in the telecommunications industry, serving as marketing director for both regional and national companies. While she has always worked hard, Carol plays hard as well. She loves snow skiing and on a recent family vacation in the Caribbean, she learned to sail Hobie catamarans.

An Active Family Life
There's plenty to keep Carol busy in Southlake, between shopping, dining and events at Town Square, games at Dragon Stadium and, most important, her husband and children. It comes as no surprise that Carol sets the tone for her equally energetic family. Son Kyle is a gifted defensive end with a promising future in football. Daughter Kourtney is also a fine athlete, who's chosen to focus on basketball. Carol and her husband, Barry, are proud to be their number one fans and attend as many of Kyle and Kourtney's games as possible. "We just love sports," Carol declares, "and that's definitely something we have in common with most families in this area."

A High Energy Focus
As a real estate professional, Carol serves her clients with the same intensity and enthusiasm that mark her life as a whole. She invests every ounce of energy in each transaction and works diligently until the home sale or purchase is successfully completed. Carol's extensive marketing background and training are especially advantageous for sellers. She offers each of her clients the latest Web technology (including virtual tours), as well as stunning brochures (calling on her graphic-arts background) and other print media to showcase their properties.

Energized for Your Success
Especially adept at formulating powerful action plans, Carol develops a uniquely personalized approach to help each of her clients after thoroughly discussing his or her needs and expectations. She then channels her intensely focused energy into every aspect of that plan, ensuring that all the details are covered while providing frequent progress reports. Sellers benefit from Carol's sophisticated marketing strategies and strong negotiating skills. Buyers rely on her expansive market knowledge and in-depth familiarity with Southlake and other prime communities in the area.
