Karen did an outstanding job assisting us in our first home purchase in a highly competitive market. As first time buyers we needed more guidance and support. Karen helped us navigate the process with confidence. We're now in our dream home, location and price point all as a result of Karen's hard work and strategically crafted offer. Additionally, it's clear that Karen knows both the area and market well based on her recommendations and neighborhood insights. We highly recommend working with Karen!

Karen was an exceptional agent who put in lots of time and incredible patience while helping us find our dream home. Over the course of almost 3 years we worked with Karen off and on, and as our circumstances changed, she was always helpful and available. She suggested properties that matched our desires, and was able to help us weed out the ones that might look good online, but in reality were not worth our time. We couldnt have been happier with her throughout the entire process, especially walking us through all the steps from putting in a bid to closing. We highly recommend Karen!!!

Karen went above and beyond in assisting me with the purchase of my new home which I love. She was not only extremely knowledgeable regarding the process, she was supportive, kind, patient, understanding and supportive. She helped me find inspectors, contractors, legal services and in setting up utilities for my new home. She checked in with me frequently reminding me of timelines, giving me updates and good advice. She answered all texts, calls and emails promptly. Karen did an amazing job in assisting me with every aspect of the purchase of my home from initially showing the house through the closing.

Karen expertly managed my Vermont home search / purchase with experienced professionalism, excellent communication, and high quality support throughout the entire process. Being a new home buyer, I felt at ease knowing Karen would take the time to explain everything I need to know and set expectations so there were no surprises. I highly recommend Karen for your next Vermont real-estate purchase.
