This isn’t our first rodeo.
We’ve got 20+ years local real estate experience between us.
And we’ve been living in Clermont even longer than that!
Carolyn Franzmann
Principal Licensee.
Sales Manager.
Carolyn has lived in Clermont for more than three decades. She first arrived in Clermont in 1990 as a fresh-faced primary school teacher and immediately fell in love with the town. Carolyn has always been an active member of the community being involved with rugby league (junior and senior Clermont Bears), cricket (junior and senior Clermont Bulls), Clermont Musicmakers, and the Clermont Sporting Association.
Currently, she sits on the boards of Clermont Connect and the newly formed board of the Country University Centre. She is the current president of the CCBG (Clermont Community Business Group), a member of CCHAOS Inc (Clermont Community Housing and Other Services), the CEC (Workcamp committee), and Glencore’s CCC (Clermont Community Consultative) committee. In 2023, Carolyn was awarded Life Membership of the Clermont Senior Rugby League Club.
In her spare time, she is a mad macrame maker, and loves the North QLD Cowboys. She volunteers her time and talent by playing the piano for the residents of Montcler once a month, plus she leads the working group for the annual sailing regatta. It’s Carolyn’s voice you hear at the footy where she volunteers as an announcer for the Clermont Bears. She is also the founding editor of the Clermont Telegraph and contributes regularly to the content of this monthly publication.
Her real estate career began in 2010 when the team at Hoch and Wilkinson offered her a position as a salesperson. This was the start of a new passion which resulted in recognition of her creative copywriting by realestate.com.au and the Property Observer, a Melbourne-based real estate publication. Carolyn was consistently the number one salesperson until 2016 when she moved to the coast before returning to Clermont in 2019. In 2021, she was elected unopposed to the position of Councillor in a by-election. In 2024, she chose to stand down and pursue her dream to run and own her own business. On April 22 2024, this dream became a reality when she opened the doors to Clermont Real Estate.
