"Thank you so much for helping us find our new home! I've met and worked with more than a few realtors over the past couple of years during our home search, but you were by far the most aggressive and knowledgeable. Your persistence and hard work was impressive. You made the home-buying process easy, and you explained everything to me whenever I had a question. We could not have done this without you, and we are endlessly grateful for your expertise. If any of our friends or family are ever in need of an agent, we will be sure to send them your way. If you ever need a review or testimonial, don’t hesitate to let us know! It’s the least we could do as thanks for your excellent service. Karen is the best!! " - Chris & Mollie Engel

"Karen has been an amazing person to have on our side as first-time homebuyers. She offered great advice and helped guide us through the entire process, answering any questions we had. She is patient, kind, and very knowledgeable. Being first-time homebuyers can be a lot, but one thing we know that we definitely did right was having Karen in our corner. She fights hard for her clients and goes above and beyond for us! We are grateful to have had her help! " - Diana Tran

"Karen is literally the best Realtor I've ever worked with. She got us our dream home and worked very hard to make this happen. I highly suggest Karen for selling and/ or buying a home. You will not be disappointed and she will make your dreams come true! " - Jennifer Murrietta

" Karen is fantastic - down to earth, easy to chat with, understanding, and best of all, just gets the real estate market. Karen helped me sell my mom's place, and she helped all along the way - even to the point of helping my mom find a place to rent during the sale! Above everything else, honesty and integrity can sometimes be so hard to find in the real estate market, and Karen's got it in spades. Loved working with her, and given the chance I'd do it again in a heartbeat. " - Jason Webber

"Karen was absolutely awesome. I began looking nearly a year before I actually moved from the Bay Area to SoCa. Since this was such a big move for myself and my young adult daughter I needed the time to plan ahead and organize this move and I needed a realtor that was flexible with my specific timing and all the things that get in the way of selling and purchasing a home at the same time.

"Karen is the best real estate agent we’ve ever worked with! My family and I reached out to her in October 2021 during the crazy real estate market, and less than 1 month later, we were under contract with our dream home in the competitive market of Huntington Beach. Karen was able to get our offer accepted for under $1 million on a single family home that had multiple offers of over $1 million! She goes above and beyond for her clients and is extremely professional, reliable, and hardworking, but most importantly, she is honest and kind. My family and I were first time home buyers, and Karen walked with me throughout the entire process, answered all of our questions, helped us get our offer accepted, took care of all our paperwork, and even helped us draft a rental contract after we closed on our house. Karen treated us like family and always had our best interests at heart throughout the process. She truly is the best agent out there, and we can’t thank her enough for making our dreams of being a homeowner in Huntington Beach come true! " - Betty

"My overall experience with Karen was nothing but positive. We met her at an open house and felt very comfortable with her knowledge of the local area and perspective on the current state of the market. From that point forward she was part of the team. Karen made it a point to understand what we wanted in our next home and brought houses that fit our criteria (rather than just showing us any house like other agents). We looked at, and bid, on a number of houses and finally opened escrow on a house in May 2022. Most notably Karen helped us negotiate a sales price at 10% below asking price which was virtually unheard of at that time. Not only did we get the house below asking, Karen also leased our current home getting us a monthly rent at 13% over the asking price. " - Matt Mejia
