Carol Anne Gilbert, a premier commercial real estate agent and broker, died on January 19, 2020. Carol was a San Francisco native who was passionate about the local community. She was a well-respected businesswoman and the owner of CGI, a real estate brokerage firm. Carol was born in the Sunset District on March 11,1945 to the parents of Abe and Lisa Gilbert. She graduated early from high school, and went on to receive a B.A. in business from San Francisco State University. She then went on to start her own business that became a staple of the SF business community. Carol was strong willed and known to be direct in her dealings. She loved to entertain and her sharp wit demanded attention at any occasion. She enjoyed a smart conversation, a stiff drink, fine cuisine and lavish décor. Carol was equally passionate about art and was an avid supporter of local Bay Area artists and of public education. Carol was always very generous to friends and family and a fierce advocate for her clients. She will be greatly missed. She is survived by her only sister Pamela Brown, loving nieces Alexandra (Erik), and Victoria (Beren), and great nephew Donovan.

Carol took me under her wing 25 plus years ago as a rookie retail broker. She dispensed sage advice and helped me on my path to being a very successful broker sharing her wisdom and clients generously. Carol was the queen of retail and she will be missed by all of us.

I knew Carol when we both worked at Grubb & Ellis. I was in residential and she was in commercial real estate, but we worked together on many things. I loved her spirit and her friendship. My condolences to Pamela Brown and her family.
