Coral is more than a seller of homes, she is an enthusiastic and generous doer who has complete empathy for the people in her life. She's been described as tenacious, direct, curious and loyal. She expects the best from people, most of all herself. Having a childhood that began in Las Vegas, stopped over in South Africa and ended in a small town in Southern Arkansas, prepared her not only to understand the complex emotions involved in moving but also helped her become a sponge to learning and thriving in drastically different cultures. The diversity of her friends, foods and client base is all an amazing dividend of this unique path as a child.
For over 20 years, Coral has been a happy Arlington resident and homeowner, driving the streets, trying to learn the method to the madness of the street names, finding the best way to get from Arlington to Oakton and back during rush hour, exploring the parks with her kids and dog and hiking the trails along the Potomac whenever possible. She is blown away by the beauty of this area and is an enthusiastic ambassador for living in Northern Virginia. When she is not obsessing about real estate or her family, she's likely to be found dining al fresco, walking her dogs, traveling or listening to podcasts or audiobooks. She also delivers food weekly for AFAC as a volunteer.
Coral knows the chaos of moving can be unsettling, but she understands that home can be anywhere life leads you, and helps people find where they're meant to be. Whether it's first-time home buyers, move-up sellers and buyers' second or third homes, downsizing sellers, or investors, Coral will navigate the complexities of the Northern Virginia real estate market for you with a witty sense of humor and a great dose of reality.
She's been recognized by Washingtonian Magazine, Northern Virginia Magazine, and Arlington Magazine as a top agent in the area, named as a most influential agent in the nation, and recognized for her innovative approach to real estate by Inman News. She is also hosting the Genuine Hustle Conference in February 2025.
John Gundlach, who she met in Detroit while they both worked at Young and Rubicam, is her better half, personal ad man, and has been by her side since 1997, and keeps her clients well-fed with homemade chocolate chip cookies. After moving to San Francisco and getting married in Sonoma, they moved to DC and they live in Arlington with their two college student sons, Jackson and Logan, dogs Phoebe and Chloe and silky black cat Tony (named after Stark).
