    About Kara Richetti

    Kara V. Richetti is a REALTOR® with REAL Broker whose lifelong passion for real estate began after a fulfilling career as an Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism Analyst for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Trading in her security clearance for a lockbox key, Kara has since built a reputation for professionalism, integrity, and results. Born near the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Florida, Kara grew up loving the Sunshine State and went on to graduate from Florida State University in 2000. After meeting her husband Ryan, they split their time between Florida and Virginia, ultimately making Northern Virginia her professional home while also maintaining strong ties to her roots in Florida. Today, Kara is licensed and actively sells in Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Florida, and Tennessee. She also holds Broker's licenses in Virginia and Maryland and previously served as the Managing Broker of her office in Northern Virginia, giving her clients a unique advantage across multiple markets. She has personally and professionally bought and sold countless properties, developing expertise in residential, investment, and vacation properties from the Florida Panhandle to the Virginia Potomac and beyond. Her clients consistently praise her keen understanding of real estate markets, her ability to navigate complex negotiations, and her marketing skills that bring consistent, profitable results. One past client described the experience best: "Kara made a normally stressful process almost seamless and, at every turn, went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we received the best deal." When she's not helping clients find their dream homes, Kara can be found working out, playing tennis, hiking, or enjoying the outdoors with her husband Ryan and their three boys--Roman, and twins Rocco and Renzo.

    Kara was our real estate agent during a rather rapid search in the fall to find a suitable house to purchase in the McLean area. Over the course of a month plus, she quickly compiled a list of homes to tour, as well as facilitated tours of houses we came across, having lived in the area for several years. She was extremely attentive to what we were looking for, was consistently cheerful, responsive, and upbeat, represented our interests aggressively, and was willing to meet with us (and take house tours!) until we located the property we ultimately ended up buying. During the contract offer process, Kara consistently kept up informed of developments, proactively represented us in negotiations and moved quickly to minimize and overcome a process problem with the title company. All in all, we were very glad to have her on our side, and happy we chose her as our agent. Stephen and Amy C.

    Kara made my first home buying experience the best I ever could have hoped for! Not only was it was my first, but I was also buying from across the country, and she made the whole process effortless! I had only four days to view properties, and because of Kara, I found my dream home and closed within 30 days! Kara is a true professional and an absolute delight to work with. She made me feel as if I was her only and most important client. She kept constant communication with me so I never felt alone in the process. Kara was extremely knowledgeable about the loan process, inspections, and negotiating. She was always one step ahead, answering questions I didn?t even know enough to ask. She was so genuine and patient with me and never made me feel rushed or that I was asking too many questions. And I asked a lot! She consistently exceeded my expectations by keeping on top of everything; following up with me and the seller?s agent and the settlement company every step of the way. She kept track of all deadlines, arranged and supervised the home inspection and a contractor to estimate repairs, and performed the final walk through for me. She was always early for every meeting and responded to every phone call, text and email within minutes. Even after closing and before I moved in, she continued to go above and beyond and check in with me daily. What I liked most was her patient, no pressure demeanor. When we walked into a house, she allowed me to ?feel? the home for myself. Even when I had decided on a home and expressed that I was worried about the price, she said, ?No problem, if you don?t feel comfortable, we can start over.? Wow! Who says that?! Being the biggest purchase of my life, that kind of reassurance meant the world to me. I am so fortunate to have found such a great real estate agent for my first home buying experience. Thank you Kara! -Kristen

    Kara was such a phenomenal realtor!!! I seriously can?t say enough great things about her. I was so nervous about buying my first home (especially on my own), but her knowledge helped make the process so much easier. She really understands how to respond to the market conditions in order to meet the needs and expectations of her client. Kara was always incredibly responsive and thoughtful. She always validated my questions and concerns and I sincerely appreciate all the time and effort she put into this process. I am so happy in my new home and I couldn?t have made it here without her help! I highly recommend Kara to anyone needing a realtor!
