About Kari Hayes
A US Veteran, mother of two grown daughters, and married to the love of my life, I spent 12 years acquiring knowledge of the industry in the title company business, and finally followed my passion for real estate by becoming a licensed agent. I love home improvement, cooking, photography and traveling in my spare time, and because my husband and I enjoy making our house a home, I am passionate about helping others with their real estate dreams. I would love to help you with yours! Buyer's Agent | Listing Agent | Commercial | Residential | Land

FAQ
Get pre-qualified so you know you are shopping in the right market! It will also help you if you get into a multiple offer situation and have to act quickly to get the home of your dreams. Doing your homework up front will make things work out much smoother when you find the right home.
Knowing the market, pricing your home correctly and responding to the market will all help you to get the most offers and ultimately the best sale price for your home. That's where an agent really becomes valuable. Also, it's important to find an agent who has a network of affiliated professionals and can think outside the box when negotiating required repairs.
I have worked with all types of clients: First-time homebuyers, investors, repeat clients, downsizing clients, commercial, land and residential sales.
I recently completed a transaction with an older, downsizing couple. It was by far my most challenging transaction yet and went on for approximately a year. I helped them find ways to divest themselves of things they were not going to take to their next home, get their home ready for the market, find a buyer and close the deal. It was very rewarding as this was a huge challenge for them as well. Their satisfaction of knowing that the burden was lifted and that we got them the best possible price was very fulfilling to me.
I was fascinated with real estate from about the age of 20. Life happened and I put off my dream as I raised a family with my husband. When my children were a little older, I went to work for a Title Company for nearly 12 years, working closely with local realtors. We made a move from Washington State to Missouri, and I decided it was time to pursue my passion of helping people with something I was very fond of...real estate.
My experience at a title company is very beneficial and helps me help my clients navigate or avoid some of the pitfalls in real estate transactions.
