Earning her real estate license in 2006, Kari had previously worked in the real estate industry for nearly a decade. Beginning in the title industry, while working for a real estate attorney in Virginia Beach where she grew up, she learned the techniques and strategies used by investors to acquire properties. After moving to Texas in 1998, it wasn't long before Kari began investing in real estate herself, purchasing both rentals and rehabilitation projects. Kari uses savvy negotiations and cutting-edge marketing strategies to join uncompromising integrity as the hallmark of her service. In 2019, Kari joined her husband Randy Barr in opening the new brokerage, Barr & Associates Real Estate, LLC. Their goal is simple: to foster the agent/client relationship. Giant brokerage houses focus on high volume and often diluted quality of service that often emphasizes the agent instead of the client. This is where their philosophy differs. For the Barr's, it's about building personal relationships. Thanks to her exceptionally loyal clientele, personal referrals and repeat business, Kari formed the foundation of her success. When not serving clients, Kari enjoys spending time with her family, the outdoors and cooking

My name is Michael Bedner and I would like to tell you a little about myself. I graduated from Rowan University in 1982, then began my Real Estate career in 1984 by purchasing a single-family home and then selling it for a profit. I then joined a large Real Estate Company but quickly obtained my brokerages license and started Michael Bedner Realty LLC.

I believe in the importance of education and attend a wide variety of courses, lectures, and workshops to help me continue to expand my overall knowledge for my clients' benefit. I feel it is important to share my knowledge and experience by creating and teaching two classes: "Wealth Building Through Investment Properties" and "Organize Your Way to Success".

SELLERS - My goals in working with sellers are to get the highest possible price for their property, to sell the property as quickly as possible, and finally, to make the closing occur as smoothly as possible.

BUYERS - My objective in working with buyers is to determine their wants and needs through open discussion where I listen carefully to what is important to you. Once I evaluate this information, I conduct research through the multiple listing service, MLS, to find properties that may achieve your goals. I want you to get as much for your money as possible, and I will work hard to get this done. I will also keep you informed during your homebuying experience so there are no surprises. Buying a home is sometimes a very long process, but remember, "I am working for You!" and will put in the time and energy.

My philosophy in real estate, as in life, is to treat my clients the way I would like to be treated: with honesty, integrity and communication. I hope you will give me an opportunity to work for you and I guarantee a professional and rewarding experience. If you have any real estate-related questions, please contact me and I will get you answers!

Here's what one of my satisfied sellers agreed to share: "I was in a really bad situation and had to sell my home asap. Mike came in and quickly took charge. He not only identified needed repairs and improvements that would accelerate the sale, but went over and above the "call of duty" and actually helped with some of the repairs. I don't think you'll find an agent who gives more personal attention to his clients then Michael Bedner and I would not hesitate to call on his services again. I highly commend him!" Matt Hong

As a young adult I started a career in International Logistics quickly moving up the corporate ladder. Although I enjoyed the fast pace environment and learned a great deal, I decided to expand my horizons and pursued my interest in real estate. In 2002 I launched my career in residential real estate as an investor purchasing properties and managing a portfolio of residential leases. In 2008 I earned my real estate license and in 2012 I attained my real estate broker's license. Over the years my experience and expertise has been a driving factor in creating enduring relationships with my clients. Because of this I have a thriving network of client and business referrals. My goal is to provide exceptional service to each and every client I am blessed. My business is continuously growing, and I always have time for new clients.
