After contacting Karen, we had found what we were looking for and had closed within a month's time. Karen was there every step of the way. She was very responsive to our contacts, very knowledgeable about real estate in the area, handled the multiple offer situation with ease, and kept us informed every step of the way! We highly recommend Karen for your real estate needs!

We are living overseas and needed a manager to take care of our home and especially as our house tenant was? causing us problems with? the HOA, we? met Karen and liked how she presented her company and what a fantastic find she turned out to be. On taking full charge the problems just seemed to disappear and the HOA, my wife and I were all gratefully relieved.?At the end of the tenancy the house was evaluated for best presentation needs. Karen took on the role to manage and prepare the house for sale. This was completed on time and so well that within a week we started? to get multiple offers, best in the area. The sale completed just six weeks later with? Karen center stage all the way through.We commend and recommend Karen as a broker as she has gone above and beyond all of our expectations.Karen we wish you every success in the future you are a true friend and treasure.
