Listed and sold a home

Smart, Savvy and Experienced!Working with Karen was a joy from start to finish. She helped us map out an efficient and effective strategy to prepare our home for sale based on our resources and timeline, and was always quick to answer questions and offer suggestions along the way. Karen's knowledge of the Seattle market helped us pick the perfect time and price point for listing our home, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome!

Listed and sold a home

I chose Karen and Alyssa on the advice of a friend and will be forever grateful to her. As Alyssa was on vacation I worked mostly with Karen who handled me with professionalism and kindness. She knew the answers to all my questions and helped prepare the house for market by taking care of prospective buyers’ questions in advance. We had the inspector’s report available; all disclosures were fact checked; a letter about the house and neighborhood was on the hall table and the whole place was immaculate and beautifully staged. They priced the house perfectly so that with 13 offers I got just the price we had hoped for. I highly recommend this friendly team. Ann Skelly

Helped me buy home

Karen helped us buy our dream house in Seattle. I struggle to imagine a better realtor; she went above and beyond. She was extremely helpful through 8 months of long distance searching, giving us live video tours of places all over the city. She got us out of one deal that might have been catastrophic. She stuck her foot in the door to get us the opportunity that led to owning our dream, after the owner had just about decided to take it off the market for 6 months. She is terrific.

Helped me buy and sell homes

Karen is an awesome agent! We used her for both a purchase of a new home, and the sale of our old home. She put together an offer within hours after we had viewed the house we ended up buying, worked very well with the seller’s agent, and quickly hit it off with the seller as well. She made our old house look like a million bucks - literally!? I was extremely impressed with her dedication to making the process for both the purchase and sale run as smoothly as possible for us, her professionalism, and her high level of attention to detail in making sure everything was just right. She has put together a fantastic team working with her. The woman she recommended to arrange the financing for our purchase was super-responsive (our first call with her was at about 7 p.m. on a Friday eve), very experienced and knowledgeable, and came up with a creative idea to make the deal happen. Her recommendations for other professionals to help get the old house ready to sell were spot-on, did terrific work and were easy to work with. Karen spent a lot of time with the interior painter coming up with colors for various rooms, which ended up looking perfect. She worked with a gardener to get the yard spiffed up, and even got down on her hands and knees to install sod to fill in holes in the yard. The woman she hired as a stager did an incredible job.? Karen’s photographer was terrific, but despite his fantastic work she had a few other ideas for photos that he did not include (which showed off certain special aspects of the house), so she took some additional shots herself and made sure they got into the online listing.?She and her business partner did a lot of research to come up with a realistic asking price for the old house, taking into account up-to-the-minute market data.?? She kept us calm during the inevitable bumps in the road on the way to the closing, and was professional and friendly and very responsive throughout the entire transaction and beyond.?I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is definitely a rock star.?
