Personal Profile

I've proudly served the real estate market since 2005, bringing a wealth of experience and unwavering commitment to every client I serve. As a seasoned Century 21 Real Estate Broker, my mission is simple: "Guiding People Home." This statement encapsulates the essence of my role as a supportive, empathetic, and knowledgeable guide through a process that can be scary, confusing, emotional, and financially significant.

My role goes beyond facilitating property deals; I am a trusted advisor, market expert, and skilled negotiator. Studying property listings and market trends is second nature to me, allowing me to provide precise insights and guide sound decision-making. I excel in acting as a conduit for seamless negotiations between buyers and sellers, ensuring equitable and satisfactory outcomes for all parties.

Educating and empowering my clients is central to my approach. I provide in-depth knowledge of the process, market conditions, pricing strategies, legal prerequisites, and more, enabling informed choices. As your representative, I stand by your side during property visits and inspections, offering practical evaluations and valuable perspectives on each potential investment.

My commitment to my clients is rivaled only by my dedication to my personal pursuits. My family is my anchor and holds my heart. My incredibly supportive husband has been with me since our teenage years and we plan to celebrate our 80 th wedding anniversary someday. M y 2 daughters keep me on my toes and remind me how important it is to show them what women can achieve in this world. Our family wouldn't be complete without our Aussie and floppy eared bunny, who provide unconditional love and licks. My other passions include travel, which I long to do more of, as I love exploration and new adventure. The theater, photography, films, music/dance (the arts in general which fuel my creativity), roller coasters, animals, and Disneyland.

By choosing me as your real estate partner, you're not just gaining a broker; you're gaining a reliable collaborator who is enthusiastic about realizing your property goals. Allow me to leverage my extensive expertise to guide you through the intricacies of the real estate landscape. Let's work together to turn your aspirations into concrete reality.

  • Buyer review
    Kari sets the bar high for Real Estate professionals. She is absolutely elite in her field. We looked from October 2020 and found our dream home at the end of May 2021. Kari wants to see you in the perfect home for you. She is not trying to rush anyone into a deal they aren't 100% on board with. Many times we wanted to give up and Kari kept looking. We considered a couple homes we were not real excited about and Kari would encourage us not to settle. She is very knowledgeable and honest about both the process and the current market and it's impacts. We found our unicorn home because Kari took the time to understand what we needed and wanted in a home and because she wanted this for us as much as we did.
  • Buyer review
    Kari was everything we'd hoped for in a realtor. She was very responsive and helpful in getting us appointments to see all the places we were interested in, and in helping us get a quick pre-inspection when we were considering making an offer. She did the extra work to establish a rapport with the seller's agent for the house we ended up buying, and this turned out to make all the difference in our offer getting accepted. Communication was clear throughout the process, and everything went smoothly with a fast closing. As an added bonus, Kari left us an incredibly thoughtful selection of gifts that we discovered when we got the keys to our new place, complete with decorations for our two-year-old's room that he loved. We would 100% choose her again if we were to do this over!
  • Buyer review
    Initially, Kari Schertzinger's name popped out to me as I browsed through the list of agents on the Century 21 site. I saw that Kari and I share a last name (which, given our last name, is highly irregular). I clicked on her profile and immediately saw she had amazing ratings and reviews, which ultimately led me to contact her. And I am so happy I did! Kari is extremely knowledgeable about homes, the history of home-building in and around the Seattle area, and great relationships with home inspectors and lenders. She was very flexible and enthusiastic even while the scope of our home search expanded from South King County to Bremerton. Moreover, she is an excellent negotiator, and we always felt secure during the search and purchasing process, knowing she had our backs. As the housing market is scorching at this particular moment, my partner and I were worried about finding a home. But Kari was chipper, supportive, and optimistic while also very realistic about how aggressive we needed to be with the low inventory of homes available. This is a difficult balance to strike, and Kari was amazing at navigating this uncertain terrain (especially since we were first-time home buyers and at times a little skittish when homes we liked would go off the market incredibly fast). Despite all this, we found and purchased a home faster than we thought, and it brings us joy every single day. We are grateful for Kari's expertise and would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.
  • Buyer review
    Kari is the perfect person for the job! She was communicative, readily available to answer our questions, understood what we were looking for, and she worked HARD for us. In a super competitive market, her expertise helped ensure that we were putting in the best possible offer each time to increase our chances of being selected. I would absolutely recommend Kari to anyone!
  • Buyer review
    Kari was amazing. We had a very short timeline to find and purchase our home and she was able to get us viewing appointments almost immediately. She gave us great guidance and feedback on homes and offers. Kari went above and beyond negotiating with the seller team to get the price we needed for our financing. We would highly recommend Kari to all of our friends and family.
  • Buyer review
    Kari is great! She understood what we wanted in a home and made appropriate showings. She was quick to communicate, and on top of all aspects of the purchase. We would recommend her, and do business with her again.
