Karen M. Riscinto

Hello, my name is Karen M. Riscinto and I am an award winning licensed Real Estate Professional since 1988 who takes much pride in my profession. As such, I am constantly taking classes to enhance my knowledge of the Real Estate industry and have several designations: CDPE, CIPS, MRP and TRC. MRP - Military Relocation Specialist. I have been a resident of Lake County Florida since February 2005 and I was featured as the agent on an episode of HGTV "Lake Front Bargain Hunt" (Living Large in Lake County) in 2014 which featured Eustis and Mount Dora, FL. It was a truly amazing experience. As a seasoned Licensed Real Estate Broker/Owner & Real Estate Professional I have over 36 years in residential and commercial Real Estate Development, Construction & Sales. I have made the Multi-Million Dollar Sales Club in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and I was a top producing agent for 6-1/2 years for a former Brokerage. I was the winner of the 2016 Daily Commercial Readers' Choice Award for Realtor Lake and Sumter County and I just was named the #3 agent in Lake County by RateMyAgent.com 2021-2022. I started working in the real estate arena in 1977 and received my real estate license in Florida in 1988 and in Georgia in 1990. I lived in Atlanta and was the VP of Property Management for a large Southeastern Property Management & Development Company and as a Corporate Real Estate Manager for a large British Conglomerate in the Northeast. I moved back to South Florida in 2004 where I worked as the VP of Sales & Development for a Development Company and as a Consultant for Condominium Development projects in Broward and Dade County. I moved to Lake County in February 2005 to take a Director of Real Estate position and in 2007 I started working as a full time REALTOR. In June of 2017 I became a broker and opened my own firm on August 1, 2017 in order to better serve you. Not everyone is a perfect fit for each other, it's just like dating you either click or you don't. I will always do my best to meet your expectations and since no two customers are exactly the same, it will be a learning curve for both of us to find that perfect property be it commercial, income or residential. I expect everyone that I am associated with to act with the same principles that I have and to handle themselves with honor and respect and that's why I have teamed up with who I consider the best in the industry. Since my income is based solely on closing a transaction (sale or purchase) I will do my utmost to make that happen. Keep one thing in mind I will never suggest a deal that is not right for you just to make a commission. I take great pride in knowing that the service I provide to you is of the highest caliber and integrity thus deserving of my earned commissions. I value you and your time and always look for a lifelong relationship. The leap of faith that I have taken in starting my my brokerage is also the same leap of faith that I hope you will take in joining me and my various partners in the industry so we may service your assets and help you Buy or Sell a Home.
