Buyer reviewKaren was outstanding. Instantly trustworthy, proactive, knowledgeable and personable. As first home buyers in the Clear Lake/Ventura area we did our due diligence, asking numerous people for first hand recommendations. Time and again Karen's name was top of that list. And for good reason. Having now worked with Karen on the successful purchase of a home, we are happy to add our names to the list of people in the area who will unreservedly recommend her to others. Trust was essential for us. We were in a relatively unique position in that we were purchasing the property from overseas. Karen's instant trustworthiness really set her apart. She was tremendously flexible with our special circumstances, talking with us late at night or early in the morning with the 13 hour time difference, and also coordinating with our family members who live in the area so they could be present at the home viewings. We couldn't help but have high expectations for Karen given her strong reputation. She more than delivered. Not only did Karen spot issues we would not have even known to ask about, she consistently delivered solutions, leveraging her extensive network of local contacts to do so. There were many times when the sale might have been derailed, yet with Karen it felt like smooth sailing throughout, with no problem being too big. Last but perhaps most importantly, what really sets Karen apart is that she listens and works to help you realize *your* dream. She never pushed us to proceed with a property that wasn't perfect for us. Her honest, candid feedback throughout the process was truly refreshing. If you are looking for an agent who is not just extremely competent but is someone you will genuinely enjoy meeting and working with, we could not recommend Karen highly enough.

Buyer reviewKaren was wonderful to work with. We moved here from another state, and had a really difficult time finding a home that really fit us. She stuck with us and was awesome the entire time. We could tell that she really cared about us as people and genuinely wanted to help us find the right home. I would recommend her to anyone, and have to several people already!

Buyer reviewKaren was so patient with us and very flexible with her time. We would often text/call her with houses that we wanted to see that had come on the market within hours and she would drop everything to get us in the house. She made us feel as if we were her top priority even though we are aware she has many other customers. Karen went above and beyond to search and visit with owners of houses that fit our bill even if they were not on the market and got us through the door. Karen was very approachable to my husband and I. We felt as if we were fast friends with Karen and she made us feel comfortable sharing our interests when it came to locating the perfect home.

Buyer reviewKaren helped us buy a land lot next to our home. She was very timely and kept us informed as to the process of purchasing the lot and helped in all steps to make the purchase happen. She was professional and timely with her communications. We'd recommend Karen to our family and friends!
