Karen Lithgow

Karen is a longtime resident of Alameda; buying a run-down, multi-unit Victorian in 1990 and lovingly restoring it to its former glory. She has since bought, fixed up, managed, and sold a variety of homes and residential income properties throughout Northern California. Her greatest passion now is helping others find their dream property, whether it's an existing sparkling gem or diamond in the rough, ready for your creative polish. If you are looking to sell your residence, Karen can help you prepare your home to show off its finest features and create an effective marketing plan. Her work with Alameda's Architectural Preservation Society and other local community groups keeps me involved and informed with issues involving vintage and contemporary real estate. She makes good use of the excellent technology and marketing tools available to Compass agents including our wonderful Collections, Concierge, and Bridge Loan programs. Their Compass Coming Soon program is a powerful pre-marketing strategy used to generate buzz and gather valuable insights when selling your home. Karen is also a member of the Top Agent Network (TAN) which is a private online communication system that allows the top-producing real estate agents in local markets to share exclusive, non-MLS information. She has a B.A. degree in Economics/ Mathematics from UC Santa Barbara, an MBA from Northwestern University, and a Senior Real Estate Specialist designation. When she is not working on real estate transactions, Karen volunteers her time with the Alameda Architectural Preservation Society. She is currently the President of their board and help organize various events including home tours, presentations, social events, award ceremonies, and lists of helpful resources for homeowners. Karen also shops for antiques at the Alameda Point Faire each month and work on the garden at the back of my Victorian. Her other passion is snorkeling in coral reefs, and she particularly enjoys trips on a live aboard boat.
