"Amazing personal service. Karen not took care of details for me, she coordinated the perfect team to make selling my apartment a huge success. When it came to strategy, Karen really showed why she is a top producer. We struggled over the price and in the end, Karen priced it perfectly to create a bidding war, which is no small thing for a TIC apartment. I couldn't be more pleased and I'd highly recommend her to anyone that wants an agent that is makes sure things are done correctly, the first time."

"I just bought a house in San Francisco and wholeheartedly give my real estate agent Karen McCarthy two big thumbs up for successfully navigating me through this process! As a newcomer to the SF housing market and unfamiliar with the assortment of neighborhoods, I initially felt bewildered. So Karen used her amazing knowledge of SF to analyze my housing needs and help me identify neighborhoods that would best suit me. Very importantly, she made the effort to show me many neighborhoods and walk through open houses to educate me about the ins and outs of SF homes. This was extremely helpful! She also advised me about the SF housing market's seasonal peaks and valleys, supply and demand, home configurations and corresponding price points, and the competition here to purchase a home. While I learned all this to better understand the market, Karen diligently looked for homes she felt would meet my needs. She was always on her toes on the lookout and very quick to communicate new listings hitting the market and answering my never ending list of questions. Karen was consistently patient and professional during all this, which is a big plus given the ups and downs of a home search. When it was time to place a purchase offer, Karen's thorough knowledge of the process and paperwork, and negotiating skills, made the effort seem so easy! After the joyous day (!!!) when my offer was accepted, Karen generously continued to help me by suggesting contractors for cleaning my home, changing the locks, doing repairs and remodeling. Thanks Karen for your excellence and I certainly recommend you to anybody else looking to purchase a home in SF!" - Henry

"Karen helped me search for a home for over a year! She always gave me a 110% and as many of us know, buying a home in SF can be challenging and frustrating and I am glad I had this experience with Karen. Our family only had 10% to put down and our budget was for a home no higher than $1.25M - the most competitive price bracket and she always stuck with us. Ultimately we found a three bedroom and two bath SFH for under $1M. She is honest, well connected, knowledgeable about the city's demographics, tenant laws, mortgage financing, etc. I highly recommend her services. I am happy to now call her a friend."

"Karen is an amazing agent: she's a straightforward, no nonsense personality who will bend over backwards to help her clients find what they're looking for. She knows the City inside and out and went out of her way to help my husband and I navigate the current real estate market to find a home we're thrilled to be living in. She's very good at interacting with sellers' agents to find out important details about different properties - we felt like we had as much information as we possibly could about any property we considered, and that gave us much more confidence as we considered putting in offers. I definitely plan to work with her again in the future. Can't recommend her enough to anyone seeking an agent in SF."

"Karen McCarthy is an exemplary real estate professional. From the minute we got in touch to closing, Karen has been unfailingly efficient, thorough, and responsive. As we are currently based largely abroad, we were initially not sure we would be able to garner enough perspective to feel comfortable moving forward. Karen surpassed all expectations, and was able to coordinate logistics for viewing and closing through various time zones and in a very short time span. She is prepared, always putting together thorough information on comparable properties, neighbourhood trends, schools, etc without being prompted. She is able to provide a great deal of information without exerting any pressure or acting in any way to influence any decisions. She is always happy to continue to look, answer additional questions, or simply wait. Karen has built a professional network of likeminded, client oriented individuals ranging from contractors to arborists whom, like her, are a pleasure to deal with. We have no hesitation in recommending Karen to anyone looking to sanely negotiate the craziness that is San Francisco's real estate market."
