Here are a few testimonials Karen has received from her clients:

"Karen has been our real estate agent for many years. Her knowledge of various markets, attention to detail and absolute transparency have been a few key reasons we continue to use her as our trusted advisor. Recently, we moved from the United Kingdom back to the United States. Not only did Karen act on our behalf as we were transitioning, but went above and beyond her job to help us secure our new home. I recommend Karen as a resource if you are looking to relocate or purchase private or commercial real-estate."

- Chad C., V.P, Global Marketing at Baker Hughes

"You could not have been more knowledgeable about fulfilling our housing needs and more accommodating at helping us get into the perfect home. It was a real pleasure to work with someone whose primary interest was to find us what we wanted, rather than trying to get us into something that was easy for you. We really appreciated your help in navigating the myriad of paperwork needed to close the deal within our short time frame. Thank you for being the consummate professional."

- Alvaro C., Integrity Engineer

"Karen, has helped me with all my real estate needs for the last 5 years. From buying my family home to buying rental properties for me and my General Partnership. She always goes above and beyond, proactively working with potential sellers and tenants diligently. Very resourceful to deal with any issues with tenants, sellers, or during closings with Title Companies, Insurance companies, HOA, you name it. Highly Recommended. Karen is very profesional and her work ethics is impeccable."

- Hernan R., Engineer at ConocoPhillips
