The best realtor!

My husband and I were planning to buy a house in Venice, Fl and move from out of state. The importance of finding the right realtor is paramount. I went through many sources in search of OUR realtor. When I saw Kari's photo and then read her biography, I knew my intuition was right. Thank God, I listened. Kari Pate was the One. She has a very impressive track record and we trusted her completely from the very first phone call. She proved herself to be very responsible, very knowledgeable, a thorough professional, and on top of that, she was just a very kind, friendly, sincere and charming woman! My husband and I knew we were in good and safe hands! She walked with us all the way to the very end after we found OUR home! Kari supported us through the ups and downs of the challenging process of finding our dream home. She was always emotionally and professionally involved! Her excellent go-anywhere skills have helped us tremendously! She is well organized, very responsive to any issues, emails, questions etc... She is very gentle, does not push you or make decisions for you, but politely guides you in the right direction! Whatever she recommends, if at first glance it does not seem quite right, it is actually right! Because Kari has a lot of experience and she knows her job like no one else! If you want a realtor who will support you, be professional, honest, sincere and 100% involved in your journey - Kari Pate is it! She became our dear friend and the first closest person in Venice. Thank you for everything you have done for us during the long but fun months of our shared adventure! You are simply the best, and we couldn't be luckier! We highly recommend Kari Pate as a REALTOR! Kari has an impressive motto: "I served our country, please let me serve you!" and she truly does serve YOU.
