ZillowVERIFIEDKaren was a wonderful agent throughout the long, often stressful process of selling a home. She was so understanding about the complexity of the family dynamics at play and the emotional nature of what we were going through. She was warm, thorough, and knowledgeable, and she went above and beyond when it came to getting the final deal closed, even getting some of the repairs handled herself. I'm truly grateful for her immense help, her expertise, and her genuine kindness through it all.

ZillowVERIFIED We chose to have Karen Goddard, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Troth Realtors, represent us as we sold our home in the Antelope Valley. It really was an easy decision after talking with her given her tenure of working and living in the Valley for 30 years and her subsequent success. When we hired Karen to sell our home we didnt just get Karen, but a really terrific team she assembled who are not only professionals in all the ways youd hope: respectful, prompt, reliable; but also simply kind, a trait in short supply these days. While there are many homes in the urban AV, our home was a unique rural property with acreage in Leona Valley. Karen used both her local knowledge of the market to price our home as well as worked with a third party appraiser to support it and we sold our home within $5000 of asking price. Very impressive especially given interest rates were higher than they had been over 20 years! The photos and videos taken of our home made us question why we were moving at all (job relocation)! They did a spectacular job highlighting each aspect inside and out that made us swell with pride at what we had created. This attracted MANY hits on real estate sites and social media. Those, coupled with the work ethic and follow up of Karen and her business partner Cameo Bruckner, turned into actual showings. And even more, those who visited thought it was just as beautiful in person as the pictures shown - a testament to the skill of the photographer and videographer. Throughout the process, Karen and her team were there to answer our many questions and those of the potential buyers, be it suggestions of lenders and lending programs to homeowners insurance quotes in this dynamic market. Nothing can beat experience and knowledge and Karen has both in spades. We only wish she and Cameo lived closer now that we have sold and moved!

ZillowVERIFIED I connected with Karen and her team through my company's relocation program and I wouldn't work with anyone but her. At the time to buy your home, which is the most important purchase of your life, you need someone that takes the time to listen to your needs, and takes your cares away; that is simply Karen. If I could I would give her a galaxy of starts for review. She deserves them! She is the best! Karen and Cameo will search for the perfect home. While Karen will pulse the market to make the best offer or propose the best marketing strategy for you. I was out of state when I started my house hunting and Cameo did virtual tours for me and gauge my personal needs and taste. When I arrived I went directly to the home I thought was for me, and I didnt really liked it and I got frustrated due to timing and market constrains. It was then when Karen simply looked at me and said, "I think I have one home that is what you are looking for.." I simply entered to that other home and was IT. Was perfect home, and it was simply me. That was MY home. Karen made it happen. It was not a simple buy and there were some issues, but Karen made the entire process simple for me to navigate. She simply resolved any issue that rose very professionally and caring for me. I finally got my dream home and it was a wonderful home.. I worked with Karen again for the sale of this dream home (had to move due to work); she was the only person I trust and she simply did it again. I was happy with the sell, the buyers were also happy and on their new home by Christmas and all I wish is that she could help me to get my new home here in my new state. Karen is simply the best!

ZillowVERIFIED Karen was a great realter and resource for us. We were moving from out of town and didnt know the best areas or schools. Karen assisted us throughout the entire process. She took extra time to understand our needs and made suggestions for us. She even referred us to all our service providers and workers for home remodels and repairs. I dont know what we would have done without her. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a smooth process, honest realter that goes the extra mile to support you.

ZillowVERIFIED Oh my goodness, so much to say. She was there for us every step of the way. Karen is extremely knowledgable, kept in touch with us. Worked around our crazy schedules. I would trust her in every step of the buying and selling process. Karen is one of those exceptional agent/brokers who deserve every bit of praise she gets!

ZillowVERIFIED This is my 2nd time asking Karens help with my real estate need. She is the best agent by a wide-margin in my experience. She is so knowledgeable about properties in the area and things that can be broken inside/outside the property (this is the huge PLUS since we're not buying a new home). Karen is very professional, courteous and patient throughout the process of selling our home. The bonus is she even got us above the listing price!

Review for Member: Karen Goddard
ZillowVERIFIED Our house selling in September 2021, went smoothly and exceeded our expectations due to our work with Cameo Bruckner, and Karen Goddard. We sold our home for over asking price due to the hard work of our agents. Our agent worked tirelessly to bring qualified buyers to our home. They advised us on how to prepare the house. The advice we received was very valuable. We had to do a repair, and our agents brought us qualified repair people for the job. During our transaction, our agents worked for us. They advocated for the best deal for our family. In the transaction, we felt supported and taken care of. We messaged or emailed and got extremely timely replies. Communication is key and these ladies are pros at it. I cannot highly recommend enough the agents that we worked with, Cameo and Karen. If you're looking for professional agents with knowledge and experience, these are the people you should hire. Every family member that is thinking of selling or buying, we suggest and recommend only Cameo and Karen.

ZillowVERIFIED Ive worked with Karen to buy a house and sell a house, and I wouldnt work with any other agent at this point. Both times she has made the transaction easy, and worked extremely hard to get us exactly what we want. She knows the area and the market very well, and when it came time to sell, she made our house look incredible, and got us a price much higher than we were expecting. If we buy another house in the area in the future, I wouldnt hesitate to have Karen help us again.

ZillowVERIFIED Cameo and Karen were an awesome team in helping us find a home! We were moving to the area from Ohio without much notice, and they were there to help us find a home to line up perfectly with our move! With the market as crazy as it is, we weren't able to secure a home on our house-hunting trip out to California, so Cameo took us on virtual tours of many homes and used her knowledge of our wants and needs from our in-person visit to help us find a great home in a great neighborhood! Karen and Cameo made sure our house was move-in ready for us, and made our cross-country move go so smoothly. We can't thank them enough for their help in finding us our home and helping us through the process of buying a home in a brand new market and state for us. We will recommend this duo to anyone else we know moving to the area!

ZillowVERIFIED Cameo and Karen are AMAZING. They don't stop at the extra mile for their clients. They go as far as they need to go to make sure their clients best served and successful in their real estate transaction. We knew our property could go quickly in the market, but we had some unique issues to work with. None of which deterred Cameo. She was on top of the transaction from start to finish and had issues fixed before we even knew they existed. They are compassionate about what they do and their dedication to their clients shows. They even put in the research and interviewed out-of-state agents before they recommended one for a new purchase! There is no one else in Southern California I would trust with my real estate transactions.

ZillowVERIFIED I first met Karen when she helped my ex husband and I buy our first home as well as had her as our agent again when we decided to sell. She is friendly, knowledgable and will go to bat for you to make sure your best interests are covererd. When I recently decided to sell my home, she of course was the first and only person I thought of. She explained everything that was going on and kept me informed evry step of the way and even (politely) kept me from making decisions that weren't in my best interest. The first two times she helped us buy/sell our home, my ex husband made most of the decisions. This time I was on my own and she made the entire experience so stress free. I was worried about everything and she always made me feel at ease and let me know that everything was taken care of. She even continued to help me after the sell was over by finding people to clear junk off my property. If you want a stress free experience either buying or selling your home, you can't go wrong with Karen Goddard!

ZillowVERIFIED First time home buyer. We fell in love with the home we recently purchased in Tehachapi. While coming across quite a few hurdles with the house Karen and Cameo were nothing but extremely professional and always on top of the ball with each and every step of the process. We felt confident and comfortable in using Karen and Cameo with purchasing our first home! Would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone looking to buy, sell, or rent properties.

ZillowVERIFIED Exciting and nervous process went smooth with the help of Cameo Bruckner and Karen Goddard , they are very knowledgeable and professional made sure I got a HOME , not just a house. They knew what to look for in a house and what to avoid , she got a really good feel of what I was into and did an amazing job at getting me tours, she was very fast and prompt.They steered me away from house that were a big no no , but yet showed them to me so I can get a feel of what she meant and I could compare to a more quality home and made sure I was getting my moneys worth. They showed me the Good the Bad and the Ugly , making me feel confident in the home I ended up purchasing. Both were available 24/7 and worked really hard getting me into a home. I am super super happy with their service and I would recommend them to anyone !

ZillowVERIFIED Karen has a winning attitude (very important), is extremely responsive, professional, and cares deeply about her clients. After just a few minutes talking to her, I could tell she really meant business and there was no doubt in her mind she was going to succeed. I knew right away I wanted her to represent me and she definitely did not disappoint. Karen helped us sold our home for the price we wanted during the holidays and with all the challenges that come with that. She is simply the best. We could not be more pleased.Her staff is amazing, polite, and responsive. Great team, very happy with them.Simply put, I only want to work with Karen Goddard from now on.

ZillowVERIFIED Karen was OUTSTANDING to work with throughout the process of buying our first home. From the day we first connected until the end of the process Karen made us feel like she was always available, and always looking out for our best interest. When we were viewing homes, she was always punctual and well prepared. She went above and beyond by bringing folders with concise information on each home we were viewing along with materials for us to take notes. She answered every question, and we had quite a few, patiently, respectfully and promptly. She was honest when she did not have the answer immediately, which was not often at all, but would ALWAYS track down the answer as soon as possible. Once we settled on a home she made the process seem so easy by staying in near constant contact with our lender and the listing agent. I really felt I had nothing to worry about and that I could ask her anything. Throughout escrow, she always seemed to be two steps ahead of the process and prepared for any contingency. It was a pleasure to work with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area. I will absolutely be passing her information along to friends and family and I will very likely contact her again if we one day decide to sell or rent our home!

ZillowVERIFIED Karen was our realtor for both the sale if our old home and the purchase of our new home. Having Karen was like having a real life easy button, every problem large and small was just dealt with. She is a fierce negotiator and worked fair deals doe both of both properties. I think many good realtors can do that. What sets Karen apart is all of the work she does after after the offer is signed. She is always available to answer the million small questions and she treats you like family, she cares and fights tirelessly for her clients. We are so blessed to have worked with Karen and cannot recommend her enough. We saw her skills up close in both buying and selling, if you hire Karen you will not be disappointed!

ZillowVERIFIED If you are looking for a home, and are concerned about working with an agent that may not have your best interest in mind- stop worrying and stop looking. Karen is who you want to work with! I am a first time home buyer, and felt completely overwhelmed and lost when I started out. The original agent I was working with could not make time for me like I would have liked. Also with the First agent I not only wasted 2 months, but also felt uncertain about the whole process. Karen and her team were a complete 360. No question went unanswered, and they were incredibly flexible and patient with me. Even now after the process Karen and Cameo have looked out for me and helped me with bumps Ive had as a new home owner. They even helped me with my new family member aka fur baby/Luna/ puppy love and getting her settled in the house. I could not begin to express the gratitude I have for Karen and her team, I am so happy with the whole experience and would recommend her to any and everyone!

ZillowVERIFIED Both Karen and Janet were very helpful and made themselves available to us all the time, especially because we didn't live in this area. We are a first time home buyers, therefore, we had a lot of questions that they patiently explained to us. We also used the VA loan, which can be not as smooth as other loans, but they they informed us about some deadlines and we were prepared for them, which made the process easier on us. Because of their help, now we are home owners, and we will always be grateful.

ZillowVERIFIED Karen recently sold our house. We were first-time home sellers with very little knowledge of the selling process; we also live out of state and were not able to be in the area while the house was on the market. Neither of these factors fazed Karen even slightly. Karen knows the market, knows what is and isn't necessary to get a house sold, and works endlessly to make it happen. She handled the inevitable bumps in the road with patience and professionalism, and always with an eye on the goal. Her communication skills are amazing - she was always there to explain, answer questions, reassure and provide options. She went above and beyond in so many ways, and she's also just a very nice person. Highly recommended. Thank you, Karen!

Review for Member: Karen Goddard
ZillowVERIFIED This was my second purchase and I was a little apprehensive to start the home buying process again. It's a very stressful process and to make it worse I was overseas trying to purchase prior to returning stateside. With Karen I could not have negotiated better for myself if I was present. She was timely, knowledgeable, had my best interest at heart, stayed in constant communication and more. She made me feel as if I were the only customer she had. The process working with Karen was painless. Her negotiating skills were impeccable! I walked in a brand new house after a 16 hour flight to water and snacks just in case I was too tired to drive to pick up those needed items and believe me they came in handy. Karen is one of a kind. She's sincere and caring. Took the time to send me videos of every aspect of the home. I bought the model home site unseen physically but with photos and videos I felt as though I was taking a walk thru. I was beyond pleased with the home and Karen's professionalism and knowledge!!

Karen and Janet are professional and extremely knowledgeable about the market. They are also friendly and approachable and quickly earned our trust and respect.

ZillowVERIFIED f you are looking for a Realtor in the Antelope Valley, look no further. Karen exceeded all of our expectations in the process of selling our home. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the market and doesn't just use the comparables but relies on experience. We met with multiple agents and we could tell Karen had already put in more effort than the others before we even decided to hire her. She was always quick to respond to us by whatever method you prefer (voice, text, email). She was always quick to get us the forms we needed to sign, many of which we were able to digitally sign which is nice for busy people. She was always willing to offer her suggestions/recommendations on list price, during the negotiating phase, and the request for repairs. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process and personally lobbied the seller to choose our offer. The entire process, list to close happened in 30 days! Stop searching and give Karen a call, send her a text or email and you'll be glad you did.

ZillowVERIFIED We cant say enough good things about Karen Goddard. Without her efforts, its very unlikely we would have been able to sell our house. Ours was a very difficult sale; a 30 day process became a 4 A 1/2 month ordeal because of the ineptness and unprofessional manner of the people that were representing the buyer in the transaction. Karen not only kept us informed on the status of the process, including explaining the issues being dealt with, she worked with the buyers representative daily, expressing our concerns and keeping the process moving; she even stepped in when it looked like the deal had hit a wall. Through her knowledge and the contacts she had because of the kind of professional she is, Karen got the sale back on track and was able to close it. In a nutshell, Karen went above and beyond the call to make our house sale happen, and we would recommend her highly to anyone looking for an excellent realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I had to move from Washington state down to California in a very short timeframe. Luckily for us we found Karen, and she made the whole process a breeze. Her knowledge of the area is fantastic, and she found a bunch of great homes for us to look at. She organized so many things during the buying process for us since we were so far away. She even turned on the air-conditioning before we arrived so our new house would be nice and cool after our 3-day drive down. Service above and beyond.I would absolutely work with Karen again, and will be recommending her services to everyone I know who is selling or buying a house.
