As the proud owner of Brooklyn Blues, an award winning show jumping horse, Sollak is in-tune with what her clients want and need in their properties. Brooklyn is trained and ridden by top rider, Eric Lamaze, who is Sollak’s best friend and an avid real estate investor. Carol has been an active member of the equestrian community in Wellington and across the globe for over 20 years and has grown her to business to what it is through the relationships that she’s forged along the way. “Over the years, my clients become my friends,” says Sollak.
“Engel & Völkers’ network has continued its rapid expansion in key North American markets as a direct result of the hard work of our premier real estate advisors, who truly represent the best of the best,” said Anthony Hitt, CEO of Engel & Völkers North America. “Carol contributes to the collective strength of Engel & Völkers North America through her outstanding passion and dedication to providing exceptional service to leading buyers and sellers across the United States.”
The Thousand is published each year and is based on independently verified data provided by U.S. brokerages and real estate associations throughout the United States. The list is comprised of categorized rankings that include the Top 250 Agents by Sales Volume and by Transaction Sides, and the Top 250 Teams by Sales Volume and by Transactions Sides, as well as two newly added categories based off of average sales price, which include Top 250 Agents by Average Sales Price and Top 250 Teams by Average Sales Price.
Sollak was ranked in the Top 250 Agents by Transaction Volume again for 2015. She is now ranked in the top one half of one percent of the more than 1,100,000 REALTORS® nationwide.
