Review for Member: Karen Keljik
ZillowVERIFIEDKaren was fantastic to work with. Since we were in California, she handled all the legwork of visiting and evaluating condos on our behalf. She was extremely thorough, reviewing each property with us in detail and even walking us through the home we ultimately chose via video. We felt confident enough in her assessment and transparency to close on the property without ever seeing it in person. Karen is straightforward, honest, and never sugar-coats anything (something we appreciated greatly). Her experience, attention to detail, and ability to accurately reflect our priorities made the entire process easy and stress-free. I would highly recommend her for any purchase or sale.

ZillowVERIFIED Karen takes care of you! Karen was very knowledgeable about properties all over the Twin Cities area, offering us information about neighborhoods, build quality of homes, and issues like airplane noise at each home we visited. We are first time home buyers, and she also gave us a lot of useful advice for the kind of work we might consider doing on potential properties. We were also buying from out of state, which required some special accommodations on her part, but she was exceptionally helpful in this area. She even visited properties for us, connecting us via video chat. Karen was always available through the whole process up until closing. She is extremely experienced and has a wide network of supporting real estate professionals in the area. This was very helpful when it came to closing preparations. It is also a testament to her professionalism that she is so well liked and connected within her industry. By the end of the whole home buying process, we felt like she was almost a member of the family. We will actually miss calling her regularly! And we will be keeping her contact information handy for all our future real estate needs. For a real estate agent who really cares about you, loves nerding out about properties, and gets everything done in time with room to spare, we highly recommend Karen Keljik.

ZillowVERIFIED Karen has helped me buy/sell 3 properties over the last 15 years. Each time, Karen heard what I wanted (rental or to live in, and what streets in St. Paul I like the most) and she found a whole bunch of options for me. In 2012, we met for the first time, and she talked through all the options available at that time. A couple years later, looking for a rental property, she got us into a great property and gave me amazing advice on managing tenants, doing remodeling and figuring out when to sell. Most recently, in 2024 and closing last month, Karen negotiated for us the contract to sell a property, walk through the details so that I was able to manage the whole process while working out of town. I would trust Karen again and again, and I can't wait to work with her whole team of real estate and closing and lending professionals -- they are a seamless group of friendly perfectionists and always willing to help and manage anything you cannot do yourself!! Much appreciate Karen and her team!!

ZillowVERIFIED During a very stressful time in my life, Karen was able to immediately develop the best plan to sell my home. She explained the process in terms I could understand, and I came to trust her completely with aspects of the sale I had not considered. All of her advice and guidance resulted in the best possible scenario for my family. Her expertise is coupled with an intuitive and supportive presence, which was such a relief amidst huge life changes and uncertainty. I am eternally grateful we found Karen and would recommend her to anyone who wants to make the most of their buying or selling experience.

ZillowVERIFIED Karen did a great job negotiating in a case where the house was being sold through a lawyer representing the owner. Thanks to her communication skills, we were able to negotiate.

ZillowVERIFIED Karen was a wonderful realtor ! As a first time home buyer my husband and I felt completely lost. Karen was not only honest and knowledgeable she took the time to explain everything so we had a better understanding of each process as we moved forward. She took time to help us see homes, answer questions and was readily available for texts/calls, etc. Most importantly she took our style, neighborhood suggestions and budget seriously- she was professional and advocated on our behalf with negotiating price, ensuring inspection was done properly, and communicating with sellers our concerns. All said and done she was able to find us our perfect first home!

ZillowVERIFIED Our home search took over a year. Karen was always positive and supportive through the ups and downs of the search. She is an experienced agent with a deep knowledge of neighborhoods in Minneapolis and St. PaulaEUR"in fact, the house we ended up with was in a neighborhood she suggested that we add to our list! We appreciated her long experience in the field in a really challenging marketaEUR"we all got frustrated with it at times (one offer we put in was one among 19!), but she was always available to help us regroup, add neighborhoods, tweak our price range, rethink our criteria, etc. Karen was always responsive and helpful when we had questions about the home buying process and was very available when we wanted a showing. Her guidance, strategic advice, and good humor were invaluable in a horrible market.

ZillowVERIFIED Karen is the consummate professional who loves what she does and puts that enthusiasm to work whether you're a buyer or seller. She pays close attention to detail, stays on top of communications from start to finish, makes helpful recommendations, and as a listing agent, did the necessary leg work to promote my property, including open houses, reaching out to other realtors, and online/print advertising. I've now used Karen in four real estate transactions and would happily recommend her to others for all of your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED We had first tried to sell the house ourselves, but then decided to work with Karen, and we are really glad we did. Karen was fun to work with, she always responded quickly, she was detail oriented in the staging and prepping, she helped us be thorough in pricing strategy, and her connections helped drum up a high amount of interest. The house sold quickly and we were really happy with everything about it. Karen is great and we'd highly recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIED Karen is absolutely superb! She knows the St. Paul real estate scene like the back of her hand. Her comprehensive understanding of the details of selling/buying a home were always reassuring for us in high-anxiety moments. Karen was always available (phone, text, email) regardless of day and time. She returned our calls, texts, etc., within an hour (at most). Her calm and unruffled manner, and her interest in helping us discern what it is we really want, and how to get there, proved enormously helpful. Can't recommend Karen highly enough!

ZillowVERIFIED Karen is exceptional, knowledgeable, and well versed in all the aspects of selling a property. My sister and I just closed on the sale of our mom's house after she passed away. Karen knows the market this house is in, guided us to price it appropriately, and select the correct offer from many. It sold quickly. Dealing with the details is easy for Karen. She is quick to return calls, follows up, and communicates with all the involved parties. Highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED Karen is a phenomenal real estate professional! With her extensive local knowledge, she not only helped us through the process of buying our house, but was able to provide invaluable advice, help, and contacts for needed repairs and improvements moving forward. She also gave us guidance and helped us change utility services into our names. Karen helped us negotiate a good and fair price for our house and connected us to the right people to implement the necessary repairs and desired improvements. Based on our experience, it is clear that Karen is well respected and trusted by her real estate colleagues, inspectors, and service providers. We have nothing but praise for Karen's knowledge, guidance, responsiveness, and negotiation skills.

ZillowVERIFIED Karen guided us through finding and purchasing our house and then selling it 16 years later. Both times we felt complete trust in her expertise, honesty, and advice. She is generous, patient, practical, unflappable, flexible and so easy to work with. She made it possible to relax during processes that might otherwise have been intensely stressful. We have total confidence in her professionalism and wealth of knowledge. Not only is she competent in every detail of real estate transactions, but she impressed us with her consistent respect not only for us as her clients but for everyone involved. Most of all it was clear that she really cared about our experience throughout.

ZillowVERIFIED I chose to work with Karen as I've worked with her before (she helped me buy and sell my previous home, as well as purchase my new home). She's extremely responsive to communication and her experience in the field really shows as the she makes the home viewing/search and buying process very easy. I'd recommend her to anyone I know looking for an agent. She was great! Thanks Karen!!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Our most recent purchase of a condominium was our third transaction with Karen. It proved to be a very difficult negotiation with the seller and her agent, but Karen remained very professional throughout. She went above and beyond to pursue the fine details. Karen also sold our old condo in March which we had purchased through her three years ago. Her listing of our property was accurate and fairly priced. We had positive feedback from our showings and were happy that it sold so quickly.

Review for Member: Karen Keljik
ZillowVERIFIED I chose Karen to represent me because I want to live in Mac-Groveland and I read that she is a life long resident and long time successful realtor in the area. We met and agreed on home specs and Karen went to work looking for the right place. However, my plans to purchase a home in Mac-Groveland fell through due to personal family reasons. I did relocate and will rent for a year before beginning my home search again. Karen was very sympathetic and has kept in touch. Very impressive service and much appreciated. I have been in sales for 30 plus years and its typical for salespeople to disappear at the sign of trouble. When its time to look for a home again, I will go right back to Karen.

Review for Member: Karen Keljik
ZillowVERIFIED I got Karen's name from some neighbors who had just bought a condo in my building, and since I had a mind to possibly sell my unit, I had her come over for a look and a conversation. She was so amenable, knowledgeable and knew the neighborhood well with 25 years of experience. She almost immediately gave me the recommendation to put my place up as a rental, considering her knowledge of the market at the time, and how my place would only go up in value due to ongoing trend in my area. Karen ALWAYS answered my questions promptly, and even answered a very frantic phone call at 9 o'clock at night with poise and calm. I felt the whole time like she was my trusted friend, excited for me at the right times, and a stalwart truth-teller when I needed her perspective. Highly recommended!!!

We appreciated everything she did for us in helping everything go so smoothly during what could be a stressful time.

ZillowVERIFIED Very satisfied with her patience in the process. I can't think of anything negative that she had any control over to change; much better than the buyer's realtor as far as professionalism & finding middle ground! Great peacemaking, wonderful negotiating.Definitely a full 5 starand cant think of a specific instance of move-related stress that we didnt learn from in hindsight.Wonderful realtor, wonderful human being!

ZillowVERIFIED We relocated from Chicagoland to the Twin Cities and needed someone who knew the market and would help out-of-towners navigate the real estate system here. Karen was phenomenal. She worked with us on everything from making the right bid to going through the inspection. She was a zealous representative, working with her counterpart to ensure that items we found on inspection were completed before we signed.Thanks, Karen! You made home-buying easy.
