Having 14+ years of real estate experience has allowed me to learn and adapt to a variety of market conditions, a necessary requirement when working with a Broker today. A wide range of issues can affect the outcome of a successful closing. I am extremely pro-active, which minimizes issues from occurring. Knowing that you have a skilled pro at the ready to address the unpredictable makes a world of difference.
My expertise allows you to feel COMFORTABLE and SAFE throughout your entire buying or selling experience. CUSTOMER SERVICE is my #1 PRIORITY.
Working with buyers and sellers, and other agents comes easily and naturally for me. It must be because I love what I do. Using strong negotiating skills, I make sure you get the BEST PRICE and terms when selling, or JUST THE RIGHT HOME for the BEST DEAL when buying.
I maintain these certifications to best serve your needs:
CNE (Certified Negotiation Expert)
ABR (Accredited Buyer’s Representative)
SFR (Shore Sale & Foreclosure Resource)
Five Star Professional Award 2012,2013, 2014, 2015
A large part of my business is referral based and word-of-mouth, a testimony to the way I treat people… the way I want to be treated. I don't just "hear" my clients, I "listen". My attention to detail and honesty are core premises I bring to the table. I work endless hours to ensure that any deal is sealed in a satisfactory way for my client. Many clients have congratulated me for putting in so much effort on their behalf.
Personally, I travelled all over the world in my previous career as a flight attendant, have family I adore, and enjoy watching sports.
Serving Palatine, Arlington Heights, Mt. Prospect, Inverness, Barrington, Dundee, Algonquin and beyond in the Chicago area, my goal is not a satisfied client, my goal is an EXCEPTIONALLY satisfied client.
Please think of me as your trusted advisor for your next home sale or purchase, I live up to my credo, “Karen Cares”!
