About Karen

I have been a licensed real estate professional since 1995 and have received Century 21’s highest award, the CENTURION Sales Award, yearly since 1997. In 2004, in addition I received the prestigious award of DOUBLE CENTURION. I have also received the company’s Quality Service Award, which is based entirely on client feedback. And, I won the Member of the Year award for NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owner’s) in 2005. I am also an active member of the Chamber of Commerce and Ewomen. But awards and commissions are not what motivate me.

I really care about my clients and treat them like I would treat a family member. I look out for their best interests and don’t consider them just a sale. 98 percent of my business comes from repeat clients and from clients who refer their friends, family, and coworkers.
I am equally adept at all types of residential transactions–from first-time home buyers to those seeking luxury estates. I focus on customer service and satisfaction, striving to exceed my clients’ expectations through superior follow-up, follow-through, and prompt response to calls and emails. My solid college background in business and continuing education in real estate also help me keep pace with technology and market trends, insuring that my clients receive the benefits of the latest marketing strategies and tools.

I maintain excellent relationships with professionals in every field of the real estate industry including mortgage brokers, escrow agents, contractors, painters, and movers. This enables my clients to smoothly navigate what can otherwise be a daunting process.

My genuine appreciation for each client’s unique life situation has led not only to a successful, award-winning career and many satisfied clients, but also to a wealth of deep and lasting relationships. That is my greatest satisfaction.

Feedback I have received from my clients that make me “stand out above the rest” include professionalism, knowledge, patience, no pressure – no stress demeanor, attention to detail, and making the process easy from start to finish.
