"Karen Derr sold my property in one day and we closed within two weeks. Her expertise was instrumental in staging and pricing my condo to sell. With her help, the process went smoothly and closing was a breeze. Thanks Karen"

"I chose Karen Derr because I knew her reputation in the Heights community and I was so glad I did. Working with her was a great experience! Not only is she supremely knowledgeable about the market, but she's just such a lovely, smart, kind person. She went out of her way for me--she and her husband even took away a jetted tub in my garage that I needed to get rid of. I would recommend her to everyone!"

About Karen

Karen Derr is a native Texan who has been involved in real estate for most of her life. Her high-touch style of service and her on-call attitude when responding to customer needs have made her a multimillion dollar producing Realtor for over 20 years. From country homes to urban oases and historic homes, Karen Derr prides herself in knowing great neighborhoods. From 1994 to 2008 Karen Derr owned a successful brokerage firm headquartered in the Houston Heights. She was the founder and broker for a boutique firm that was listed in the top 25 residential real estate companies in the greater Houston area according to the Houston Business Journal. The firm closed over $150 Million in annual sales. She and her husband sold that company in 2008 and she stayed on as a top producer until 2015 when she assembled a top producing team in order to expand into the Central Texas and Austin market, while continuing to service clients in the Houston and Galveston market. The real estate market is evolving and so is Karen’s practice. Today, she and a small group of choice agents make up the Karen Derr Group with Compass RE Texas. While the Houston Heights and surrounding area is still an important part of her business, she is now helping clients buy and sell in Central Texas, including Austin. "Selling in Austin and the wonderful central Texas towns between Austin and Houston is a dream come true for me," Karen confides. "With offices in both markets and a home in Fayette County as a base of operation for country transactions, our team is right at home and ready to serve clients who are as diverse in their interests as we are."
