In Their Words -

"In our first transaction, Karen saved us tens of thousands of dollars using her connections and savvy to ascertain the strike price needed to outbid our competitors, which was far lower than the offer we had originally prepared to make." J.U.

"It is rare indeed to meet someone who is not only a true professional at what she does but also has a very human touch to go with it and we feel fortunate indeed that she represented us." M.T.

"The way Karen has handled this assignment is nothing short of outstanding. Not only was she highly effective and professional

as a realtor but she was also someone who had the patience to understand our very specific needs and then respond in a highly personal way. We cannot praise her enough." (3 time client) A.M

"We have known Karen for over 10 years. She has helped up both sell and buy homes. She is a perfect blend of authority (strong negotiation skills rooted in many years of experience) and humanity (helping guide client's to make smart, good choices that impact their future). She never compromises her client's needs for her own and has given us advice that has truly impacted us in a positive direction. During the emotional stress of buying/selling, she provided realistic reassurance and made the process more bearable. We think she is trustworthy and solid. We would never sell or buy without her!" A.V.

"Karen is very client-focused, responsive and attentive throughout the process. Her level of commitment and dedication are top-tier and she really takes the time to understand her clients’ sensibilities, preferences and goals. Karen also know the San Francisco market very well and is well connected with other agents. It really helps to have someone that has those types of relationships with counterparties." J.T.
