    Karen was outstanding throughout the process of both selling our house and buying a new one. She is the consummate professional who has great communication skills and also an endless network of reasonably priced and very professional contacts from moving companies to general contractors and everything in between. She turned what could have been a stressful time in our lives into a very enjoyable experience. There is no one I could recommend any hire. Thanks again, Karen!

    Karen Arbutine is simply amazing! After months of frustration with my home sitting on the market, I decided to make a change, and I'm so glad I did. Karen came in with a fresh perspective, a clear plan, and the kind of energy that instantly gave me hope. She sold my home in just 1.5 months, after it had been listed for 5 months with another agent. Her marketing was sharp, her network was strong, and she didnt waste time with unqualified buyers. Every showing felt purposeful, and I always felt like my home was in good hands. Karens professionalism and personal touch made the whole process feel smooth and reassuring. If youre looking for someone who truly knows how to get results and makes you feel supported every step of the way. Karen is the one. I cant thank her enough!

    Karen did an excellent job connecting us to another realtor in our city where we wanted to purchase a home. She was instrumental in working with the other agent and together we successfully purchased our compound on a 2 acre parcel in Santa Cruz. I highly recommend her for your real estate needs.

    I used Karen to complete an estate sale from out of state. She made the process feel seamless. She was excellent about keeping me up to date on all the details so I never had to travel to Florida for the deal. I felt she did an outstanding job representing me and negotiating for me.
