Pat has lived all over the world with her West Point officer husband, Bob, and three daughters. Moving 15 times in 22 years, she particularly enjoyed their three years in Europe. In 1992, after going through the “Where are we going to live for the rest of our lives” examination, Pat and her husband decided to return to her roots – the Sanford/Carolina Trace area. With ancestors in the region since the 1800s, Pat was born and raised on a farm near Carolina Trace.
Pat now is applying her skills as a former school teacher, librarian and real estate agent (for 14 years) to her customers at Carolina Trace Gated Properties, LLC. Pat also enjoys redoing old homes, traveling, reading, gardening, cooking -- and -- Law and Order reruns.
Pat’s keen sense of humor is accentuated by her strong southern accent – but all of her customers appreciate that she makes a concerted effort to be understood by all.

Originally from Massillon and Canton, Ohio, Bill’s career took his wife, Pat, and him to Indianapolis, Indiana, Buffalo, New York and Erie, Pennsylvania. Bill was with John Hancock Insurance for 33 years and was the Agency Manager prior to “retiring” from the first phase of his life.
Bill’s years of listening to his customers and creating solutions for their insurance needs was good training for his next career at Carolina Trace Gated Properties, LLC -- listening to his customers and creating solutions for their housing needs. Bill and Pat moved to the Trace in 1994 after their examination of, “Where are we going to live for the rest of our lives.”
While Bill worked, Pat relaxed at home and raised their 10 children. They now have 26 grandchildren. Their children and grandchildren often visit the Trace – but not all at once.
After practicing law for forty years and raising four children with his wife, Mim, in New Jersey, Barry and Mim launched their search for the ideal place to spend the next phase of their lives.
In 1999, they drove through Carolina Trace's gates and instantly knew that their search had ended. In 2006, they started their next adventures - in Carolina Trace. Barry is enjoying his decision to switch from real estate attorney to real estate broker. He is excited about using his past experience for the benefit of both buyers and sellers of Trace properties.
Life at the Trace can offer something unique for each resident. As Barry says, “Being a Tracer allows me to fully enjoy my vocation of working with people in real estate while pursuing a vacation of golf - especially my passion for collecting and playing with antique and hickory period equipment. Where else but at Carolina Trace could I do this?”

Todd is a man with a penchant for multi-tasking. While he was directing both a real estate company and an insurance company in up-state New York, Todd and his wife, Louise, were also raising two boys, participating in the leadership of the community and restoring a 1900’s Victorian home to pristine condition.
When they examined the question, “Where are we going to live for the rest of our lives,” they decided to make Carolina Trace their home. Since purchasing their older home two years ago, Todd and Louise have, once again, used their talents in construction management, and architectural and interior design to add a new garage, install a lake wall and boat slip, and are finalizing plans for an addition and upgrade.
As a real estate broker since 1982, Todd brings to his customers his understanding of the business, an ability to help visualize their lifestyle in the homes they visit, and a passion for Carolina Trace.
