By chance, my partner and I met Karen one afternoon at an open house in Elmhurst. We weren't yet looking seriously, but we could instantly tell that Karen knew the market, had vast experience, and would be a true asset to us as first-time home buyers. We kept her business card. Six months later, I can say that our instincts were spot on. Karen worked with us to find the perfect home and helped us get a great deal — which is even more notable in this highly competitive marketplace. At every step of the way, she was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and honest, while also bringing a sense of humor and lightheartedness that relieved our stress. We're pleased to now call Karen a neighbor and friend and would recommend her and The Schiller Team without hesitation to anyone seeking a real estate agent in the area.
