My husband and I have worked with Karen on multiple home searches, buys, and sells over the past ten years and she is the only Realtor in the Mohawk Valley we would even consider using. Karen is the definition of a professional. As your buying Realtor, she is committed to helping you find the perfect home you are looking for. She has an incredible knowledge of all of the properties within the Mohawk Valley. She goes out of her way to be responsive, be available, and to seek out properties fitting your needs. She pays attention to what you are looking for - she is not a Realtor who is going to try and sell you property that is not even close to what youve asked for just for the sake of making a sale. She negotiates on your behalf to get you the best deal possible - her knowledge of the current market value of properties makes the negotiation process as low stress as possible. Weve also used Karen as our sellers Realtor. She did an incredible job selling my husbands first home. His home was very old, located on a busy street, and needed a lot of updating. With Karens staging and pricing advice - my husband had 2 offers on his home within one week of listing; one of those offers being a cash offer. His home was sold within two weeks of listing. We have hired Karen again to list our current home for us early in the upcoming new year. We have recommended Karen to friends and family members and have not been disappointed. Karen is above and beyond all expectations when it comes to a Realtor. Highly recommend!
Karen makes the process of finding that right home a very pleasant and positive experience. Not only is she very knowledgeable in her profession but she is also a great person with a high degree of integrity.
Karen was good to deal with overall. Realistic about sales outcomes. Both of us are direct individuals and that served me well during the posting, transaction and sale.
Karen s judgment and professional guidance led to a sale in a very short period of time. She was patient and responsive to our every concern. Her company is a well oiled machine that leaves no question about the entire process. We highly recommend Karen Novak and Coldwell Banker Faith Properties!
Karen waited for me for about 2 years to be ready to buy a home for myself. When I was ready she dug right in and kept in contact with me from beginning to end. She was always a phone call away with any of my concerns or questions. And knowing what a step this was for me to finally have a home I was proud of she came to my closing and I will never forget her sweet, knowledgeable and thoughtful help throughout the whole process. She knew my need was great to relocate and she helped me get it done. Thank you Karen for all that you do for your clients. Lynn Davis
I worked with Karen 4 years ago on the sale of my house and the purchase of a different one. Karen was great to work with and I felt very confident in her ability to advise us appropriately. I was very happy with how the transactions went and when we did run into some minor issues from the inspection Karen was able to guide us through them. One of my pet peeves is when people dont call you back and arent responsive - Karen was wonderful in this regard and I would highly recommend her.
I was young at the time when I bought my first house. I talked with a few different realtors who didnt take me seriously due to my age. I finally found Karen who took the time to show me as many houses as I needed to see and had no judgements whatsoever. I did find my first home through Karen, and was even able to sell it 4 years later in a crappy market due to Karens help as well.
I have known Karen for approximately 15 years and have always found her to be helpful, caring and ready to go above and beyond for her clients. I would use her as my real estate agent if I ever wanted to sell. She is a remarkable person as well and I am proud to say she is my friend.
Karen is great. She was patient and gave me a lot of advise during my first purchase. I would highly recommend her for your real estate needs. She is honest and well rounded. Thanks Karen.
Recently purchased land through Karen for the Moose River Land Company.Her professionalism and persistence is second to none.Mike Miller Moose River Land Co.
Karen was a tremendous help to us. She listed and found a buyer for a very difficult property that we owned. We love her. She followed up with feedback and let us know, honestly, what we needed to do to help sell the property.
Karen is very professional and is very good at what she does. I have been with Karen on both ends.....buyer and seller....and I am very happy doing business with her. Sincerely, Donna Wright
We bought our home thru Karen Novak 3 1/2 years ago. She was willing to work late and thru the weekend for us, and went above and beyond getting the job done. She gave excellent advice and was very knowlegable in the real estate business. She was also very easy to communicate with, friendly too, and I would highly recommend her to all.
Karen was very knowledge and helped us find our HOME. Our first time home buying experience was a lengthy process of looking for just that right place. Karen was by our side every step of the way, through countless viewings, and patiently guided us through the purchasing process. We appreciate her guidance, expertise and professionalism.
Karen came highly recommended to me as a real estate agent when I was looking to purchase a home for myself 7 years ago. I must admit, I was a very difficult buyer . I looked at 30+ homes with Karen and went back to the home I purchased 3 times before finally making an offer. Through all this time Karen was very kind, knowledgeable, patient and utmost professional and most of all determined to find a home that had all I was looking for and in my price range. She remained encouraging in her search and did everything possible to make me a happy home owner. When my daughter began her search for a home last year as well, I immediately contacted Karen again for her help and guidance. And just as I expected , Karen worked endlessly once again to find a home to suit my daughters needs as well. I have highly recommended Karen to people I know that are looking to purchase a home. Karen takes her job very seriously and is very good at what she does. She also has a very pleasant personality and is a pleasure to work with. I have purchased only 3 homes in my lifetime, but I can honestly say that if I ever have to buy or sell a home again, Karen would be the only person I would go to. She goes the extra mile and works above and beyond her call of duty.
I purchased my first home with Karen, which can be exciting, yes, but it can also be frustrating and difficult at times. Karen was extremely patient with my anxiety surrounding my first home purchase, and she was very knowledgeable about the entire process of purchasing a home. Not only does she know real estate, but she assisted me with the selection of an agent for my home loan. Lastly, she was always available to me, and returned my calls/e-mails the very same day I contacted her. A few months ago, I decided to sell my home this spring...Karen was the first person I contacted!
In 2002, Karen helped me locate and purchase my first home. She walked me through all the necessary steps leading up to the closing. She was always prompt and readily available . Actually , she drove me to the closing because I was suffering with pneumonia. Her guidance in real estate continues to the present . I am always inquiring about land investments and re financing. I find Karen easy to communicate with as well. Her knowledge of real estate is obvious. We both share a common love of travel. So her expertise in property investments extends to foreign lands and other states besides her home base of New York. Meeting with her is informative and entertaining with insight to my financial needs. Currently, I receive her mailings. I actual read these, and find the information pertinent to my lifestyle. There are numerous tips concerning homeowners maintenance of property for resale. So when I am ready, Karen will manage that for me.
I used Karen when I purchased my home and found her to be very professional and would highly recommend her.She took the time to show me many homes in the areae and was never pushy and was very thorough.
Karen was very helpful when i was looking to buy my first house. She was attentive to my house wish list, and didnt waste my time w properties not meeting my criteria. Contemplating a move in the future, i called karen up to get house selling advice, and she was very helpful, and came over to assess my house and provided me an analysis. She always got back to me, and was always very helpful.
Karen was very helpful to Eric and I in finding our forever home! She was patient, knowledgeable and willing to help in any way she could. Once we found our forever home, she stayed up late through the negotiations in purchasing the home. At closing, Karen was very kind to join us to make sure all our requests and details were finalized. Once we moved into our home, we noticed the dining room chandelier had been removed. We called Karen, and she made sure it was returned to us! I would highly recommend her to help you with all your home buying or selling needs, she's terrific!Leanne Scanlon
Karen was not only one of the best realtors I have ever worked with I feel as though our family made a long time friend. She was prompt, courteous, patient and extremely knowledgable. . I could go on and on. She was determined to get us through a very difficult process no fault to her whatsoever. I couldn't have asked for a better person not even realtor to be by our side through an excruciating closing due to lawyer negligence. If she wasn't involved in the process with us I'm not sure we would have been able to have the home we wanted for our family. Needless to say we will use Karen for the rest of our home buying career. Thank you Karen!
Karen has served as our realtor through numerous real estate transactions...our own and those we managed for our aging parents. Karen has the utmost integrity and has earned our trust. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
If you are buying or selling, Karen is 'the' realtor you want on your side. She is extremely knowledgable and goes above and beyond for her clients. I recommend her most highly.
Our experience w/Karen was long and sometimes difficult through no fault of Karen. Actually Karen was persistent, courteous, patient, and hard working. She stuck w/ us through the difficult process the other companies were putting us through and for that we are grateful!
Karen is an experienced, extraordinarily fun, and very professional real estate agent. I have purchased and sold 2 homes with Karen and have enjoyed working with her tremendously. She has given us the attention, responsiveness, and determination that has made us feel like we were her most important clients and that she had a genuine desire to ensure that every part of our experience was enjoyable, and to our benefit.Karen also has an extraordinary ability to effectively talk through and work through changes in your needs and expectations as a buyer or seller of real estate. I would recommend Karen to anyone from a first time home buyer to an individual who frequently buys and sells property.
