ReviewWe reached out to a number of Davis realtors before deciding to work with Karen. More than her knowledge of the local market and her years of experience, it was her kind demeanor that drew us to her. She is a very good listener and always considered our ideas rather than push her own agenda. As we prepared to sell my late mother's home of 50+ years, it was a comfort to have a sympathetic agent on our side. Karen was very proactive, paying close attention to the details, and was particularly helpful when we reached the negotiation stage. Working with someone who understands a niche market like El Macero was a huge benefit because we ended up closing way above the list price. We would absolutely work with Karen and Lacey again.

Review We worked with Karen to buy my first home, and a few years later, we had to sell it due to life changes. I couldnt have asked for a better experience both times. She knows the Davis market extremely well and provided great advice tailored to each situation. Karen goes above and beyondaEUR"helping with everything from pricing, inspections and house preparation to even remodeling. We highly recommend working with Karen and her team.

Review Karen did an outstanding job helping us get our home. She fulfilled all my expectations and went above and beyond. As a first-time home buyer, I found her expertise incredibly insightful. She was always available, very involved in all aspects of the home purchase process, and provided excellent advice. I will definitely continue working with her in the future.

Review After interviewing several real estate agents in Davis, we were most impressed by Karen Waggoner. She was very focused and provided sound advice. Karen was always positive but realistic. She was attentive to details in making our house show well. It paid to follow her advice because our house sold relatively quickly despite a challenging interest rate environment.

Review We can't speak highly enough about Karen and her team. She sold us our first home in Davis and we liked working with her so much we asked her to sell our same home when we moved. True professional and great to work with.

Review A few months ago, we had the fortune of working with Karen and Lacey as first-time home buyers. From the start, Karen won our hearts with her unique touch aEUR" she showed up for our first showing on a bike, like a true Davis local! We are a young family with two small children. Despite our hectic schedule, Karen and Lacey always kept us informed throughout the process and guided us through every showing, leaving us with valuable information every time. This helped us in making our final decision with our home. Karen also introduced us to an excellent mortgage specialist who guided us through a crucial stage in the process. After closing, she put us in touch with some top-notch pros for home repairs and improvements. Karen genuinely cares about her clients and their long-term satisfaction. For us, they turned what could have been a stressful and overwhelming experience into a memorable and rewarding one. If you're looking for an experienced, compassionate, and friendly real estate team, we whole-heartedly recommend Karen and Lacey.

Review I need to add another stellar review for Karen Waggoner. She is truly a professional, skilled, and hard-working realtor.... and does it all with a big heart and compassionate touch. My family recently sold a property as part of an estate, and we were unable to be in Davis for the entire transaction. Karen and her team were so incredibly helpful to us in managing the entire process from A-Z, while we were remote - including lining up inspetions, vendors, and providing a great strategy and plan. Karen was incredibly responsive and organized everything for us in a shared Spreadsheet which we loved as it ensured nothing fell through the cracks. Most importantly through all of this, is how Karen treated us and made us feel. At the start of the process, knowing that we were selling a parent's former home as part of an estate, Karen said "I will treat this transaction as if it were my own parent or family member." And now that the transaction has closed, I can say that she did fulfill that commitment and we are extremely appreciative and grateful to her.

Review My wife and I have lived in Davis a few years, and we were looking to buy our first home. We selected Karen to be our agent because she is deeply knowledgeable about the Davis market and the home buying process. We had a lot of questions regarding inspections, cost of repairs, and renovations, and she patiently and thoughtfully answered all our questions, put us in touch and helped us get quotes with good contractors. Buying a home in Davis can feel very difficult and pressure filled, and yet we did not feel pressured to make a decision that we were not comfortable with. Karen had a strong feel for the market and knew exactly what it took to get the deal done. During escrow, there were also a few tricky issues that we needed to navigate, but with Karen serving as the point of communication, these issues were resolved without any difficulty. Karen and her associate Lacey Krause made the home buying process easy, and provided incredible support. We wouldnt hesitate to give them a call for any of our real estate needs.

Review Buying my first home was a new and overwhelming process, but Karen made things extremely smooth and easy. She has great attention to detail and really puts in the effort to find a solution to any problem.

Review Karen was a dream agent to work with from beginning to end. Despite unexpected issues, she remained positive and entirely focused on doing her best for us. She let us take the lead when we needed and jumped in to get repairs and problems solved in a timely manner. And all with a cheery attitude. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to have a reliable, capable agent who goes above and beyond for her clients!

Review Karen and her team did an outstanding job selling our property, and we recommend her without reservation. We sold an older single family rental property which was in need of some updating. Working within our budget, Karen was able to get the desired work done in record time. Karen is an excellent communicator and kept us apprised of every step of the process. Buying and selling properly can be stressful- having someone with Karens talent and experience on your team makes a world of difference.

Review I chose Karen because she was knowledgeable of the area, living and working here for many years. She had recommendations on how best to get my house ready to sell, but understanding to what I was willing to do. I was impressed with her professionalism and her prepared home sale action plan. I am pleased with Karen and her team of people, who patiently answered my questions, helped prepare the house for market and kept me informed throughout the prosses.

Review Karen and her team are the consummate professionals in Real Estate. Karen does her research and creates a personalized marketing plan to get the best offers. I recently moved out of state and all I had to do was lock up after the movers loaded my furniture and Karen and her team took care of everything else. I got an offer in two days. Even though I was across the country, Karen and her team made everything work precisely. I can't thank Karen and her team enough!

Review Karen and her assistant, Lacey, are the team you need if you are looking for a home. They will make your dream home true! As first homeowners, my husband and I were very lost at the beginning of the process, but Karen was very patient and fully explained everything to us. She helped us understand our options, and gave us all the tools (reports, comparables, advice) to make the best offer in a very competitive market (Davis). Her experience and connections make her an exceptional realtor. Please, give her a call if you need help with your house hunting. She will make the process easier and more enjoyable! Thank you so much, Karen & Lacey! Jose & Alicia

Review I am so happy I chose Karen to be my realtor. She and her colleague, Lacey, worked extremely hard on my behalf. They helped me sell my home in about a week and helped me purchase a new one in the extremely competitive Davis market. Past experiences with realtors left me feeling like they got paid a lot to do very little, but this was not at all the case with Karen and Lacey. They work tirelessly and have their clients best interest at heart. Very trustworthy and knowledgeable, I would recommend them without hesitation.

Review We are so very fortunate to choose Karen to sell our home. After meeting Karen for the first time, it was an easy decision that we didnt need to look else ware anymore. Shes very personable and a true professional you will ever meet. You will come to know her from our experiences as very passionate, experienced and knowledgeable that pulls all stops to promote the sale. For 1 A 1/2 months, she always had things under control and stress free for us from the beginning to closing. Youre never in the dark with Karen as she always kept us in the loop every step of the way. Once our home listed Thursday afternoon, Karen worked aggressively with multiple agents that Monday to generate competing offers and counter offers, it was amazing how she was managing all that. She really looks out for your best interest to get you the best, highest selling price. We are really grateful and truly appreciate everything that the A team of Karen & Lacey from Good Home Group did to represent us and sell our home so quickly. We highly recommend Karen Waggoner anytime and anyplace, period!

Review Karen and her teammate Lacey helped my wife and I purchase our first home. From start to finish, we couldnt be more satisfied with our experience.Karen took the time to learn about our needs and preferences for our house. She was quick to act when houses came on the market and made sure we were able to view them in a timely manner, something that was critical in a competitive market. Her knowledge of the neighborhoods in Davis and the different types of houses also gave us insight we wouldnt have had otherwise. Throughout the viewing process, Karen was never pushy, and encouraged us to wait for the right house.Most importantly, once we found the right house, Karen helped us formulate a competitive offer that was accepted. She was able to clearly explain her reasoning on an estimated sale price, which made us confident and comfortable with our offer. Once accepted, Karen guided us through the inspections process and worked closely with our lender and escrow companies to make sure we closed on time.We feel fortunate to have had Karen as our realtor. She provided a personalized experience that ultimately led to us purchasing our first home. Thanks Karen and Lacey!

Review Karen was a true delight to work with! My husband and I sought Karen out when we began our search for a home in the Davis/West Sacramento area and we are so glad that we found her. Buying a home out of state was a first for us, and quite a stressful concept given the current market conditions, but Karen's calm demeanor and diligence made the process as seamless as it could be. She was very communicative, knowledgeable not only on the area and market, but also California real estate processes, and served as a great advocate for us as buyers. We had the fortune of landing the first home we made an offer on, and we give full credit to Karen's expertise! We can't recommend her and her team highly enough!

Review Karen is amazing! We had been house searching for a year and were having trouble landing an offer. We were first time homebuyers and we needed a little more guidance in the process. We decided to work with Karen based on her online reviews and within 3 days of meeting her, we found a house and had our first offer accepted! It was especially challenging looking for a home in a seller's market but Karen was able to provide a strategic approach that beat out all the other offers. If it weren't for her experience, we wouldn't have the house we are living in now.Karen is personable, motivated and generous with her time. She gave us excellent recommendations, scheduled all the inspections, and made the whole home-buying process quick and easy. Karen went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy in our new home. Even after closing we discovered some issues that needed attention and Karen worked hard to remedy these immediately (even though she didn't have to). We can't say enough good things about her. We highly recommend her!

Review Karen has been a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor in the Davis area. She recently assisted us in purchasing our first home, and we couldnt be happier with the outcome. Karen is very knowledgeable about the home buying process in general, but also provided a great deal of guidance about the housing market in Davis. She was also thorough and efficient in following up on all issues related to permitting, inspections, and repairs for our new home. Karen was very responsive to our questions and concerns, and took the time to educate us about every step of the process. As first-time home-buyers, we really appreciated this. The next time we need a realtor in Davis, we will definitely work with Karen again.

Review Karen Waggoner is my real estate broker and agent. She was my agent for the purchase of two properties and the sale of one. These transactions ranged from 2016 through 2021. I cant say enough good things about Karen and her team. Karen earned our trust almost immediately. Karen gave us great advice and guided us through the transactions making them easy and stress-free.All communications were timely, friendly, and professional. We did almost all of our transactions through email, text messages, and web sites (for e-signing and exchanging confidential docs securely). It was all very efficient and as easy as it could get. (By the way, this was our preference. I'm sure if you have another preference for communications etc., Karen and her team would make it happen for you the way you prefer.)The first purchase with Karen representing my wife and me was for a condo in Woodland. By following Karens advice, we ended up buying the property at a lower price than we expected. We really wanted that condo and with Karens help we got it!Given our great experience on the condo purchase, when we wanted to buy another property in Woodland a few years later, we went straight to Karen. We ended up purchasing it far below asking priceaEUR|again, due to us following some sage advice from Karen. The overall experience was like the first time we worked with her: as good as it gets.Recently (Feb 2021) we sold the condo that we had purchased with Karens help. This was our first sale with Karen representing us. She advised us to repair some things, update some others, replace a few things, and paint it before we put it on the market. She handled all this including getting bids and managing the contractors. She even brought in some furniture and accessories to stage it. After all the work, which it turns out was a very good investment, we listed on a Friday in the late afternoon. Within 24 hours, we had two offers. Within another day, we had another. We ended up with 3 different competing offersaEUR|and sold it for $42K more than our listing price! We are ecstatic about it!If you want a real estate broker/agent who you can trust, who will have your best interests at heart, who will represent you well, and who will be a joy to work with, contact Karen Waggoner. She and her team are the best.

Review Karen and crew sold my dad's house for us after he had moved out of state and the house had been vacant for several months. Since we are out of state and going through the pandemic, Karen basically took care of everything. She hired people to fix the place up in preparation to sell consulting with me throughout the entire prep process. She then listed the house, presented the 15 offers that were received in a spreadsheet with the most promising highlighted, and handled all of the closing details. She communicated with us throughout the process via phone and email and kept us in the loop. I cannot recommend Karen highly enough.

Review It has been our greatest pleasure to work with Karen Waggoner, as well as her team mate Lacey Krause, on a home hunt in a wider area between Sacramento and Glenn Cove, during 2019 and 2020. We have seen many houses in that period, and finally a month ago we went for one that satisfies most of our needs. However, we were not alone. Karen sensed that we were in fierce competition, used their remarkable diplomatic skills and gave us the right advice, together with the correct price estimate (which seemed strange and risky to us, at first), but proved to be correct. Even after the deal was done, they invested their time and energy in helping us with organizing the repairs and with solving other issues, so our moving in process went as smooth as it could, without hassle and stress from our part. We salute Karen and Lacey for their patience and endurance. Thank you very, very much!

Review Karen is extraordinarily amazing. I had reached out to her a couple years ago letting her know what I was looking for in a house and that I was in no hurry. She took the time and asked me questions to fully understand what I hoped for, patiently helped me find options, and encouraged me to wait for a house that I loved. Throughout the process she has given me very helpful advice and made me feel she was truly looking out for my best interests. She has often offered very helpful suggestions whenever I was concerned about anything. She was very responsive to me and made sure all my questions were fully addressed. She was a strong negotiator on my behalf, and knows the market very well. She provided with me with important information that guided me into making a great decision. I have now just moved into a beautiful new house and I still rely on advice from her during this new experience. Karen truly goes above and beyond and I feel so lucky to have had the pleasure of working with such a knowledgeable, friendly and wonderful person.

Review We loved working with Karen to buy our new house in Davis! We were new to town, and her fabulous knowledge of Davis was a huge asset. She knows all the neighborhoods! She was super-responsive and showed us lots of houses, including places in Sacramento. Her amazing assistant Lacey even gave up her holiday to show us houses on the Fourth of July! Karen also gave us great advice when it came time to make an offer, and then was a big help as we dealt with negotiating some final repairs from the sellers. She was a great agent and a delight to deal with from start to finish! We highly recommend Karen and her team!

Review Karen and her team are exceptional real estate professionals. Bottom line, if you need to buy or sell in the Davis/Woodland area, you should go with Karen. Karen helped us purchase our home in 2016, and then again to sell our home in 2019. Both times it was a seamless process; she makes it easy. Karen is extremely organized, detail oriented, committed, efficient, and looked out for our best interest. She is a good negotiator and comunicator, and is extremely knowledgeable of the local market. We give her our highest recommendation.

Review We selected Karen based on excellent online reviews as we were planning to move to Davis from out of the area. We are happy that we did. Karen went above and beyond to help us find the perfect home. She was consistently responsive, from the first phone conversation until after closing. She showed us several homes and always asked great questions to help figure out what we were looking for. It is clear to us that she knows Davis and the local market very well. She told us about the home we ended up purchasing before it hit the market. As a result we made the first and only offer. She did her research and provided us with excellent guidance on making a competitive offer. We had a narrow price range and the market was competitive. She was a tough negotiator on our behalf, and she got us an amazing house at a great price. We moved into our home after two month of beginning our search. She referred us to excellent inspectors and responsive contractors that made us more confident in and happy with our purchase. We enthusiastically recommend Karen to our friends and anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

She is also very patient, friendly and easy to work with. We would recommend her to anyone in the area looking to sell or purchase a home.

Throughout the process Karen was prompt, knowledgeable, and very understanding to our fairly unique circumstances.

Review Buying or selling a home is a multi-faceted process. At its core, it is a business transaction. Yet, it is also a highly emotional experience because truly, aEURoetheres no place like home.aEUR? Thats why it is crucial to have a real estate agent who has business acumen along with an empathetic and compassionate personality to provide guidance and support throughout the process. Karen Waggoner has each of those critical qualities. I will never forget our first meeting with Karen. She came to our home and talked with my wife and me about our hopes, expectations, and plans for selling our Davis home. All the while, our puppy, Bo engaged in crazy puppy anticsaEUR"bringing Karen a variety of toys (including a very soggy tennis ball), barking, and pawing at her. Throughout it all, Karen was incredibly kind and calm. She held a very thoughtful conversation with us, and at the same time, engaged with Bo in all of his puppy exuberance. In my book, anyone who can pass a aEURoepuppy stress testaEUR? can handle the stress of managing a real estate deal. Throughout the process of evaluating what we needed to do to put our home on the market, getting the work done, and ultimately putting it on the market, what impressed me the most about Karen was her calmness and patience. Karens priority was to ensure that we were comfortable with the process. Karen suggested certain improvements and changes, explained the reasons for her suggestions, and then let us ponder her suggestions. She never pushed or rushed us to make a decision. Ultimately, we followed her guidance. I have no doubt that based on Karens insight and advice, we maximized the value of our home. (Indeed, we received multiple offers at or significantly above the asking price within 72 hours of putting our home on the market.) We will always be grateful to Karen for shepherding us through the process of selling our beloved Davis home, with her compassion, empathy, and razor sharp knowledge of the Davis real estate market. Even if you dont have a crazy puppy like Bo, I have no doubt that you, too will appreciate Karens calm support and guidance through buying or selling your home. Not only did we have a realtor that rocked, we gained a friend in the process that didnt end when the deal closed.!!!

Review We found Karen by reading realtor reviews, and we are so happy we found her! We hit the jackpot with Karen! She has the kind of local knowledge of the Davis market we were looking for, and she really goes the extra mile for her clients.Davis has exploded this spring, and the houses in our price range were selling for over list price very quickly, and with quick closing dates. Karen had a great sense for where the prices of houses with multiple offers would land, and she helped us write competitive offers. She really knows the Davis market, and her knowledge was instrumental to getting our offer accepted. Since we were moving to Davis from out of town, we also needed someone who could work with us remotely, and handle tasks for us in town, such as checking out houses, meeting inspectors and contractors, and anything else where we needed someone to be present. Not only did Karen do all of this, but her local knowledge smoothed the whole process. She worked with us to get a local lender who has been fantastic and could accommodate a quick closing date. We were buying in older neighborhoods, and Karen knew which home builders (from back then) had issues to watch out for, such as plumbing lines and different types of electrical panels that could cause problems. Without this knowledge, we would have been going in blind! Karen also has great connections with inspectors, plumbers, and electricians, and this allowed us to get inspections scheduled on a short time frame, and to buy with confidence that there will be no surprises later. We love our house! And we highly recommend Karen!

Review Karen was recommended to us by friends, and we couldn't be happier to have worked with her as our realtor. We had a list of requirements that we weren't sure we could make work in Davis for the price we were hoping to pay, but Karen got us everything we wanted and more. It was a competitive and fast offer process, but she suggested a few creative ideas that ultimately got us the house without breaking the bank. We can't recommend Karen enough.

Review Karen was a delight to work with, start to finish. Not only does she have a superb disposition, but she is a diligent and detailed realtor. She knows the market in Davis very well, knows the other agents in town, and knows the best contractors to evaluate fairly the condition of the property. Karen was able to guide us very well, and worked round the clock to help us when it was crunch time. She had a good sense of how to move things along with the sellers (and at times with us) and get answers in a consistent and pleasant way. Also, even now we had completed the move, she has been very helpful with local recommendations.

Review With home listings and approximate valuations readily available on the net, you may ask--what do I need a buyer's agent for? Karen embodies the answer to that question. Yes, house listings are available, but sage advice: not so much. Karen knows the Davis market like the palm of her hand. She guided us through the process of bidding, accurately predicting what houses go for given neighborhood and number of offers. She is extremely well connected with all the people we needed for inspections and appraisals. Karen has stuck with us through thick and thin, was extremely patient and amenable ("Karen--we need to see this house at 10pm to understand noise levels" -- Karen arranges) and we highly recommend her. Whatever real estate transaction we will be doing in the future, Karen is our realtor.

Review We cannot say enough positive things about Karen Waggoner!She listed our home in Davis and received a full priced offer the day of the first showing. She is very professional, knows the market and works very closely with her clients. She is very well connected with the community when services were needed. Any issue that came up during the sale was quickly resolved. Karen is an advocate of home staging which we were skeptical of initially, however we were soon convinced after seeing the how it highlighted the house. She is an excellent agent, and we would highly recommend her!

Review I am completing my first home purchase in Davis this week and I have to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Karen. I love my new home and I was able to get it thanks to Karen's efforts. She made sure all of my concerns were addressed and was always available quickly during each step of my purchase. From my first meeting with her via Skype up to our final walk through she was extremely knowledgeable, calm, prompt, and fun to work with. She has a fantastic knowledge of the Davis area and the current market trends. She is extremely responsive during the hours when I needed her help, which was often outside of work hours. I also knows she enjoys her work as each time we met she was cheerful and positive about the current status of my house purchase project. I am so glad that I worked with Karen and look forward to seeing her around my new hometown.
