“Kara was amazing to work with. She helped with every detail and offered amazing guidance along the way. Her knowledge of the DMV housing market was superb. From when to sell the house to how to stage it to how to price it, she hit the mark on it all. Not only is she incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, she is also an honest, trusting and reliable person who is a true joy to spend time with and work with. If you are buying or selling your home, I would absolutely recommend working with Kara!“ - Gabriele

★★★★★
"Kara is an experienced professional who is very knowledgeable about the DC housing market. We lived on the West coast and needed someone who could be our representative and delegate leading up to listing our house. We couldn't have gotten through the tenant process, repairs and preparation, and marketed the house without Kara’s expertise during every step of the sales process. Once our house was listed, Kara provided sound guidance on timing and strategy resulting in a positive experience for both ourselves and the buyers." - Juliana

★★★★★
"Kara was a critical part of our successful home search in the crazy D.C. market, particularly as first-time home buyers. She patiently stuck with us to find the right place as we figured out our housing wants and needs, and brought in great contractors and inspectors to ensure the houses we offered were in good shape even without an inspection contingency. Kara was always responsive and willing to do whatever it took to make us competitive in multi-offer situations. She worked with our lender to manage a quick-turnaround offer within a few hours on a Saturday night that got us our perfect home! During the weeks up to closing, she was a constant source of information and worked with the title company and lender to ensure that we were all set through the end of the process. Highly recommend working with someone like Kara if you're looking to buy in D.C. at any level!" - Casey

★★★★★
"Kara did a fantastic job of showing us around D.C. and helping us find our perfect new home. Her enthusiasm and inside knowledge of the D.C. market were invaluable. We greatly appreciated her continued involvement in negotiations over pricing and other details, from offer to closing. She made the whole process fun and enjoyable." - Mark
