Carolyn Capalbo

Carolyn Capalbo continues to operate a respectable, high class, professional real estate practice in Manassas, Virginia, in spite of a different Carolyn Capalbo's name and different type of reputation being in the media spotlight.

I first became aware of Carolyn Capalbo's real estate practice through a community of Real Estate Professionals at ActiveRain, a real estate industry blogging platform. Active Rain member Lisa Udy posted a blog entry explaining a public relations effort underway to create clear, truth-based public distinction between the professional reputation of Carolyn Capalbo, and the media notoriety of the other Carolyn Capalbo.

In the real estate profession, the reputations of the true professionals who work diligently and serve their clients' best interests honestly are built over time and are the most important assets to their continuing businesses and livelihoods. When pure chance causes confusion in the public eye between two people with identical names, in this case Carolyn Capalbo, the real estate professional could suffer significant business loss through no fault of her own.

Carolyn Capalbo has shown poise and steadfast resolve in the face of an unwelcome distraction to her business. Her colleagues, including some she has never met such as myself, have rallied around her to help re-establish the distinction of her reputation that she has earned through years of serving real estate clients in Northern Virginia.
