Karie Backman

An Incredible Resource

What do Clients Say?

I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with Karie Backman. We decided to sell our home as a part of a job relocation when the housing market was at a low. Fearful of the poor housing market, we were ready to price low. But Karie advised us to value-price our home and showed us the comprehensive marketing plan she would execute. She even helped us organize and prepare the home for showing. Throughout the process, Karie showed unwavering confidence in her well-executed marketing plan and in-depth knowledge of the house and its neighborhood. We were thrilled to find a qualified buyer in less than 90 days. Karie brought us a strong offer that was very near our asking price. Karie was especially helpful during the negotiation and closing phases of the sale. Our circumstances were difficult due to our cross-country relocation, and she used the latest internet technologies to have everything signed on time. If you are looking for a reliable, competent, skilled real estate agent, I highly recommend Karie Backman.

My husband and I had meetings set up with two real estate agents that were referred to us by our mortgage lender and Karie was the first of the two that we met with. Based on two previous experiences with poor real estate agents, I was determined to have all of our expectations and requirements identified and agreed to prior to signing any contract. Karie was the first of the two referrals and we left our first meeting with her knowing that she was the right fit for us....to the point that we cancelled the second meeting. Karie was the ultimate professional from the beginning. She worked with me on the contract language to ensure that I was comfortable with it. She also helped me understand some of the more complicated clauses. She probably never worked with someone who scrutinized the contract like I did but her customer services skills went above and beyond. Karie bulldogged the entire process for us and always made the tough phone calls needed to help keep the process moving forward. Her foresight in keeping us informed and engaged helped alleviate our stress. Karie has restored our faith in the real estate process and we will MOST DEFINITELY use her again....if needed (we love our new house so we may never move again). I will refer her every time someone asks if I know of a good real estate agent.

I began looking at homes in Colorado while living in Houston, Texas. I was introduced to Karie and contracted with her to represent me in my search for a Colorado mountain home. I purchased my mountain home in Keystone,Colorado, thanks to the efforts and hard work of my realtor Karie Backman. Karie is friendly, but very professional, organized, and definitely looked out for my interests. Karie stayed with me through viewing homes, negotiating the price, home inspections, contract reviews and closing, and since we were out of state all the negotiations were sent and signed electronically. If I could not find a document within minutes Karie emailed the document to me. Karie expressed concerns and renegotiated several aspects of the contracts to insure my interests were always first.If you need excellent real estate services you’d be wise to contract with Karie Backman; she’s a delightful young woman and her professionalism is beyond reproach.

Karie really makes things happen! We received an offer the second day on the market, and sold our home for a significant amount of money over what another well-respected agent had proposed. Karie took the initiative to research properties in our area and helped us intelligently price our home to sell. When it came time to find a new home, Karie's expertise literally helped us find our dream home. She listened to our needs and desires, and diligently canvased our favorite areas to find us the perfect home. She was quick to find new properties as they came on the market, but didn't drag us around to see something that wasn't going to fit. The whole buying and selling process was wonderful with Karie's personal and experienced guidance.

I would highly recommend working with Karie. She is professional, highly competent and very easy to work with. More importantly, she is a great listener and summarizes what you are looking for in a new home and keeps you on track with what your wishes are in a new home. She goes the extra mile and was truly a pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with her again.
