About Carol | Carol Bushberg Real Estate | Carol Bushberg Real Estate

When asked about how she came to live in Ithaca, New York, Carol Bushberg responds with a smile, “I am a local cultural stereotype – I came to Ithaca to study at Cornell, and never left!”

Born in Verona, New Jersey, Carol moved to Ithaca and graduated in 1979 with a B.S. from the NYS College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. In 1986, Carol left plants and soil science behind, and pivoted towards a career in real estate sales. It was a good decision. Over 30 years later, Carol is the Broker/Owner of Carol Bushberg Real Estate. The brokerage was founded at the start of the 2009, which raised some eyebrows. This intentionally small and dynamic real estate firm has just celebrated its 15th anniversary!

Carol’s unflagging advocacy to her clients and her attention to detail has elevated Carol Bushberg Real Estate into a local industry leader. At Carol Bushberg Real Estate, we are pleased to offer “Sound advice for Big Decisions.”

You have been absolutely wonderful to work with, You were at all times helpful in discussing strategy, going over the process overall, and, of course, getting the deal done! Thank you for bringing your knowledge and experience to bear on the sale of my dad's house. It took all the worry and stress out of selling the property despite living out of state.

Best Realtor experience ever. Fabulous person. Completely buttoned up, honest, direct, no BS, felt like she had our interests fully at heart. No agenda besides doing the best job she could do for us. Above and beyond all expectations. On every detail in a super timely fashion. Responsive, so smart and thoughtful, a pleasure to be around. A+++++ 190% out of 100.

Carol and her team are excellent. Professional and personal, They made the house selling experience a breeze. I was worried about selling my mother's house since I live out of state, but Carol and her team were there to guide me through the whole process from start to finish. They always went above and beyond whether it was researching building codes from four decades ago to recommending professionals to prepare the house for sale. I could always depend on Carol and her team for timely, sound advice.

I have had the pleasure of working with Carol. She advised me about some ‘staging’ for the house so it would show in the best way. She provided me contact information about workers I could hire to clean the house and help with outside maintenance prior to listing it. I was correct in assuming she knew how these workers performed and at a reasonable rate. She communicated clearly about every stage of the sales process. On top of all of this, she is a delightful and capable worker and friend. I recommend her in every way.
