Veteran realtor and entrepreneur Caroline W. Dinsmore continues to reap the rewards of her hard work in the past 30 years after having been included in the Top 25 Realtors in the Bay Area based on her 2021 sales volume in the real estate industry. Apart from this, she was also named one of the Leading 100 Realtors, which includes all real estate agents from the Carmel Valley through the Wine Country. These exceptional achievements cement what Caroline has been passionately doing throughout the course of her illustrious career in real estate – helping clients find their dream homes.
Making it to the top 25 realtors list did not come easy at all. In 2021, Caroline’s company, The Dinsmore Group, was still recovering from the blows of the pandemic. It was also the same year when she faced a life-threatening ordeal that tested her faith, character, and will to survive. Known as a no-nonsense and resolute person, Caroline found the strength and courage to survive and lived to see all her hard work acknowledged.
“The fact that I sold as much real estate as I did in 2021 when I was literally dying is absolutely insane. Against all odds, I survived,” Caroline revealed. “Now, my team and I are thriving. If we hadn’t put the processes in place when we did, there is no way the business could have stayed afloat. It’s a story of perseverance, pain, suffering and finding joy, happiness and success again.”
Indeed, Caroline exemplified what it means to be truly resilient. Despite the pandemic and the disease that almost took her life, she managed to make an explosive comeback in the business and continued to serve her clients diligently. Throughout her career in the industry, Caroline and her team have sold hundreds of homes. Over the years, she has successfully developed a solid team of hardworking and highly motivated realtors who share her passion and dedication to succeed. In time, The Dinsmore Group became known for its unparalleled customer service to each of its clients.
“It’s an honor to guide our clients through some of the biggest decisions and transactions of their lives. Real estate is so much more than buying or selling homes. It’s about developing a relationship with our clients, advising them on all their options throughout the process to help them make the best decisions for themselves, as well as helping them build long-term wealth through real estate,” Caroline shared.
The California-born and raised realtor is proud of her roots. She is a direct descendant of William Rufus Wheaton, one of the founding fathers of American baseball. Caroline completed her BA degree with honors in History at the University of California at Santa Barbara. She moved to Europe and found herself teaching English in Spain for several years. She eventually found herself going back to America and dedicated ten years of her career to the tech industry. Caroline first worked at Oracle and, after some time, moved to Webex.
It was the time she spent in Silicon Valley that developed her superior business acumen and other necessary skills to develop The Dinsmore Group and make it one of the leading real estate companies in the country today. The fact that she was able to successfully navigate her way through the 2008-2012 US financial crisis speaks greatly of her passion and determination to make it.
Without a doubt, Caroline deserves her most recent recognitions, a success story that everyone can truly learn from.
