“Karen’s initial interview for working with us was very prepared and impressive. I interviewed three brokers and she was the most prepared. Karen has excellent communication skills that we absolutely needed living so far away. She was immediate in answering our emails, phone calls and we also Skyped. Karen sold our house in about three months with a cash buyer and closed in three weeks. She continues to follow up with us and even recently sent us information on our closing for our taxes this year! Obviously we were very lucky finding her and highly recommend her without hesitation.”

“This was the best experience my wife and I had, selling our property. We interviewed fourteen different agents, and decided to go with Bill and Karen. We are so glad that we made that decision. Bill and Karen were very professional, courteous, knowledgeable, prompt, friendly, with a great sense of humor. We all know selling or buying a home can be very stressful, and this team brings a sense of confidence with them which is contagious. Our property sold in a very timely manner, every step of the way, we were getting briefings and we knew what was going on. And best of all, we got the price we were hoping for. My wife and I would strongly recommend Bill and Karen to anyone who is thinking about buying or selling real estate in the area. It will be the best decision you have made for your transaction.”

“We are finally starting to settle in at the new home and I was reflecting on the journey that led us there.  Thank you for everything you did for us!  You exceeded our expectations by getting us under contract on the sale of our home with a full price offer in ONE day and then helping us find our dream house shortly thereafter.  You were both so understanding and helpful the entire way through.  Moving during the school year was a scary ordeal but we felt confident knowing we had the two of you leading the way.  I can’t thank you enough for helping us live our dream."

“Karen was there for me through every step of the sale. She knew this was difficult for me, as I lost my husband prior to the sale, and her and her husband Bill, were just wonderful. They assisted me in everything and explained everything in detail. Karen made it a wonderful experience. She’s the best!”
