Karen's Reviews

You could not ask for a better real estate agent! We were moving from out of state, and between the low inventory and our specific requirements, locating the right property was difficult. Karen was tireless. She kept us abreast of all private and new listings, toured properties for us, and got answers to all of our questions. She provided invaluable advice, negotiated skillfully and tactfully on our behalf, and paid attention to all the details. With her warm smile and cheerful, positive attitude, Karen is a joy to work with.

Karen is very responsive and hard working real estate agent. She is very knowledgeable and is upfront about the pros and cons of properties. I would be delighted to use her expertise and recommend her to friends.

Karen was phenomenal to work with from start to finish. As we were moving from the city to the suburbs she was able to go out and do countless videos and tours for us so we didn’t have to drive back-and-forth. She was very patient and helped us through every step of the process. We both highly recommended Karen as she is patient and knowledgeable! So happy we found our dream home!
