In addition to her extensive knowledge of Orange County’s many unique neighborhoods, Carolyn Betpera boasts a unique skill set that differentiates her from other agents in the local market. For years before pursuing her passion for luxury real estate, Carolyn was a high stakes trial paralegal at top law firms and worked in the legal department for a Fortune 500 company, where she helped franchisees buy and sell commercial properties. The indispensable qualities she developed in these roles — most notably how to quickly interpret contracts and legalese and negotiate like a pro — allow Carolyn to provide her home buyers and sellers a much higher level of service than her competitors. A self-starter with a strong code of ethics, Carolyn brings transparency, integrity, and authenticity to each transaction she facilitates. She is also an excellent communicator and prides herself on the ability to quickly bond with her clients, build trust, and show them that working as a team to achieve their goals is her number one priority.   As an integral part of The Summer Perry Group at Compass, Carolyn offers clients not only the expertise of herself and her fellow team members, but also her entire network of brokerage colleagues. Compass's strong industry connections and innovative, top-of-the-line marketing combined with Carolyn’s tenacity and candor translate to an elevated real estate experience for every client she has the pleasure to work with.Giving back to her community is also very important to Carolyn; she is an active board  member of the Glass Slipper Guild, which is the top fundraising charity for Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC).
