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.

We were working with a tight schedule to get our home sold for the price we needed. Karen worked with us on a plan that we all agreed upon and stuck to it, and it all paid off! Sold our home in the time and price we needed and was very professional all the way. Would highly recommend!!
