I can't tell you how pleased I am with the job Kara did in selling my home. She gave me great advice on what I needed to do to prepare the house, and even
provided some of her own items to help with the staging. The results of her marketing efforts we're unbelievable! After only three fully booked days of showings, we had eight offers, all above the listing price. I ended up selling for 32K over. Kara remained
involved through the escrow process, and we closed in 30 days without a hitch. Kara is not only a great agent, but a great person, and I will always cherish her as a great friend!

It’s been a pleasure to work with Kara! She went above and beyond to help us get our dream home! We did
not think it would be possible to get this house as there were multiple people bidding. Kara pulled it off, and she is the
most professional agent out there! The house we bought was more than we could have hoped for and we loved it from the minute we saw it. Kara is organized, knowledgeable and such a fun person to work with! She has been amazing through this whole process and
supporting us through our first time buying a home! We couldn’t have asked for more!

We have bought and sold with Kara within the last 5 years and could not have been more pleased with her work. She is extremely responsive, informative and her level of service can’t be beat. She made the process smooth and easy and we felt she always has our best interest in mind. We highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking to buy and/or sell!

I had the best experience buying my first home with Kara. Her positive attitude motivated me to remain optimistic during the pandemic. She listened to my checklist of reasonable "must haves" and I appreciated her professional insight and expert guidance throughout the journey. She was proactive, transparent, and ensured that I understood the process. Kara will take the additional steps to take care of things like she did for me. I would highly recommend Kara to help you find or sell a home

Kara was great in every way. She was patient in showing us many homes, as we defined what we wanted in a
second home. Because we live out of state, she had to work extra hard. She kept us in the loop of many properties as soon as they were on the market. When we finally made an offer, we were the first offer received. We ultimately made an offer on a property
when we were out of the country, and we trusted Kara so much that we went with her recommendation sight unseen (she was right that this was the right property for us!). She eased the escrow process by keeping us in the loop of each step, suggesting repairs
and getting estimates as needed, communicating easily with the other realtor, etc. she has a warm bubbly personality, and also knows when to get tough. We couldn’t be more satisfied with all of her service, and we highly recommend her!

Kara is very caring and a true professional! She was my listing and the selling agent on the other side. She got us ready to sell our home and got my family into our dream house! She made a difficult real estate deal easy and was there every step of the way through these difficult times. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and family.

Kara is a great negotiator and a great realtor. She is pleasant and patient to work with. I highly recommend
her. She is thorough and knowledgeable, explaining step by step the purchasing process. We were fortunate to find Kara to represent us as we purchased our new home. We will use her again in any future real estate endeavors.

I had the pleasure of working with Kara for the purchase of my 1st home. All my questions were answered in a timely manner and in a way I understood. I always felt Kara had my best interest in mind and never pressured me to make any decisions. She truly wanted
to find the perfect home for me and was
great at giving honest advice. I would highly recommend working with Kara and appreciate all the hard work she put in to help me secure my perfect home.

I contacted Kara when I was selling my house in Santa Cruz. Kara was honest and advised me it would be in my best interest to have someone local list my home as she was in San Diego area yet still spent ample time guiding me to find the best agent to assist me and educated me on the process as well. She is ethical, kind, and extremely well-versed in Real Estate transactions. I highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. She truly cares about her clients and obviously loves what she does. If there is anyone in the industry with hustle and heart it's surely Kara!!

My husband and I were referred to Kara through one of my coworkers, and after interviewing a few different people we decided to go with her. This was our first home purchase so we didn't really know what we were doing, however she expertly led us through the entire process beginning to end. Kara is extremely organized, thorough, responsive, and knowledgeable, all of which were traits we appreciated throughout our home buying process. She made herself available pretty much 24/7, and when she wasn't going to be available, she made sure to let me know ahead of time. We weren't in a rush to buy our house since we wanted to spend another ~6 months-1 year in our rental, but she was still willing to show us as many properties as we wanted to see early on to help us understand what we liked/didn't like, locations we were interested in, etc. This all helped us narrow down our search and led us to finding the perfect place earlier than expected. It was a highly sought after listing and Kara's negotiations with the listing agent helped us to beat out 3 other potential buyers. We could not be happier to have secured our dream first home and have Kara to thank for that. Kara was also extremely helpful throughout the closing process with all the different rounds of paperwork that needed to be completed by certain dates, inspections, etc. Even after we closed and moved in she was still there providing helpful guidance and advice, and even lent us her paddle board to try out on the lagoon outside our house before we bought our own. She definitely went above and beyond for us and we really appreciated everything, especially as (clueless) first time home buyers! I already miss going to look at properties with Kara and look forward to working with her again in the future. Needless to say, we definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor!

If I could give Kara more than 5 stars I would!! :) She was there every step of the way, handling all seller communication and ensuring no stones were left unturned. She provided answers to questions I didn't even know I should be asking. Her honesty, guidance, and research made me feel at ease during the entire process. She truly went the extra mile to make my buying experience incredibly positive and seamless.

Thanks again for everything, Kara!!

There are over 400,000 agents and brokers licensed by the California Bureau of Real Estate. We had one of the best in Kara.
My wife and I just closed escrow on the sale of our home of 35 years. Much has changed in the last 35 years. More forms, disclosures, warnings, deadlines. We are not unsophisticated in financial matters but found the details of decision making a little overwhelming.
Kara guided us through the entire process with amazing skill and expertise...and she did it with deep respect for us. She knew the great family memories we were saying goodbye to.
She made us feel that we were not just another listing, that we mattered and that she was invested in our welfare and not just a commission.
There was also a bonus. She had a sense of humor. She laughed. She made us laugh. She took as much of the anxiety out of the process as possible. Beside the humor, she also had a graceful assertiveness as she represented us. She had our backs. And yes, as a fiduciary, she is supposed to do that. But as The Rolling Stones sang..."you can't always get what you want." Well we got what we wanted and needed.
Our home sold in sixteen days surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday-not the easiest time of year to sell! She also worked extremely well and cooperatively with the buyer's agent.
In addition she helped us buy a new home. Great advice that saved us money and gave us peace of mind.
We also feel that we got a friend out of this sale...another bonus we were not expecting. Without question Kara was extraordinary. We feel very fortunate.

Many of our friends and family members have used Kara as their agent and we could not be more proud of the service she provides. She operates with the highest level of integrity and works ridiculously hard. She loves what she does and it shows.

Kara is a true professional. She cares so much for her clients and will go to the ends of the earth for them. I very rarely see someone who will work so hard for their clients. She is very thoughtful,knowledgeable, and passionate and is always available to help her clients. I would recommend Kara to anyone and know they will be a raving fan of hers.

Kara Brem is a phenomenal realtor. She saved me money with her negotiation skills, saved me time with her organization and follow-through, and saved my sanity by being a lighthouse of guidance and support. Kara started working with me about a year ago when I was
in the “I’m just looking phase.”
She patiently took the time to understand how I wanted to manifest my life and dreams. When the right property materialized, Kara immediately went to bat and knocked this one out of the park. Kara has a great sense of humor, a sharp mind, and a huge heart.
The idea of buying a home is so overwhelming, but this was the smoothest experience imaginable, knowing that she wouldn’t miss a beat. She was ALWAYS available. Weekend, weeknights, she worked with my schedule. I could text, call, or email with her at any
time – her responsiveness and pro-activeness - absolutely exceptional. And I ENJOYED my time spent with her immensely! Recommend Kara 1,000%

Kara is a delight to work with! She is professional, personable, timely, courteous, and definitely goes to bat for you to get your family the house you want! I would work with her again and again and recommend her to anyone! We have already had local family work with Kara, too, and had the same wonderful experience. By far the best realtor experience our family has had. You won’t be disappointed!
