What Clients have to Say.
“Just WOW! I have been in lending for 30 years & handle a lot of purchase transactions nationwide, which means I deal with realtors daily. Karen is one of the best I have ever worked with. When you explain what you are looking for, she listens. When you give her a price range, she is mindful of it & doesn’t go to the top end of the range instantly. She asks questions to help find what you are looking for and keeps in touch without being pushy (which is amazing!!) She sent us listings for a couple weeks and we let her know what we did and didn’t like. She absolutely nailed everything! She is professional & patient. She took us to see 20+ houses over a 2-day period (no, this is not normal, we flew in from out of state for the express purpose of house hunting) and by the end of the two days we were under contract in a very competitive market. She was there every step of the way, and we couldn’t be more pleased. I have fewer than 10 agents I would recommend nationwide. She is on that list.”
“Ande is an absolute TREASURE! I wanted to sell my house, a rental for 33 years, but I was stuck in Asia because of COVID-19. She quickly organized the repairs & cleanings I needed, she talked me through the legal stuff without laughing at my dumb questions, arranged for other professionals she works with for specific dilemmas, handled problems with payments & notary publics & digital signatures, and made great professional suggestions- all by email with a 15-hour time difference! We had 8 bids in 4 days, and I sold at an unexpectedly high price! Ande is so easy to work with, I had a smile on my face just to see there was a new email from her. I would love to work with her again and will definitely recommend to others.”
