Meet Carly

After getting a BBA in Marketing in 2002, Carly chose to work with her mom, Lolly Burns, in her very busy real estate business. Carly got licensed in 2003 and has been selling real estate ever since. Lolly is highly regarded in this industry so Carly feels like she has learned from the best! Carly married a hometown boy, Steven Thomas who owns a local business, Lewis Electric Motors and Pumps. Together, they have three boys who they love spending time with. As a family, you can find them fishing or hunting or hanging out at the beach just about every weekend, depending on the season.

"She will have your backs and fight for you!"
"A close friend of ours recommended Carly to us, and we couldn’t of found a better realtor. As a realtor, Carly helped us find our dream home. We were first time home buyers and didn’t have a lot of knowledge with the home buying process. Carly was always super patient with us and took the time to explain everything and answered any questions we had. She always made herself available and was always a text or a phone call away. Carly’s extensive knowledge and excellent negotiation skills helped us seal the deal and at a reasonable price also. We would recommend Carly to anyone, she will have your backs and fight for you!"
