Top Notch Agent

Karen was a delight to work with. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, accessible, responsive, informative, and engaged in the process every step of the way. She is very personable and kind and keeps you abreast of the details during the entire process in a thoughtful manner. She understands that the sale of a home can be an emotional experience and meets you in that space. She even handled a touchy circumstance of selling a home during a divorce with respect and attentiveness to each client's needs. I would highly recommend choosing her as a realtor as I can't say enough good things about her!

Smooth Transaction

Karen always communicated in a timely manner and answered all of our questions. She kept us informed on our timeline and presented an offer within a week. She even helped find a home for a mattress we couldn’t move. Karen made our move a smooth transition

Went above and beyond!

If I could give 100 stars she is very deserving! Living 2300 miles away could have been a nightmare but Karen was the keel that kept our ship out of harms way. Every step of our sale was handled with both professionalism and empathy due to our situation. It's not very often that a person nonetheless a salesperson gives what she had.

GREAT job!

This was neither an easy nor a straightforward transaction to deal with. The seller had already moved, and as the POA, I had a huge amount of work to do to get the house ready to go on the market and I lived 510 miles away!! Karen jumped right in..let me know that she was ready and willing to help in any way she could. "Help" is an understatement! I couldn't have gotten everything done without her! She found people to finish packing up the house, get it cleaned, mailed boxes to me herself, and was absolutely on top of the paperwork and the needs of the transaction at the same time. Karen understood that I had a great deal on my plate while undertaking the sale of this house, and she knew instinctively when I needed to be gently reminded to take a look at a document or sign something I inadvertently overlooked. I appreciated that so much! I knew that I wouldn't miss anything important because she had my back. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karen and if I ever found myself in need of a realtor in the Palm Desert area again, I would be delighted to be able to work with her again!

Karen was extremely professional and had full knowledge of the market

Karen, from the first meeting up and until the sale of my home and her assistance in the purchase of my new home was professional. She is educated in the market and expeditious in all her communications. I will likely be purchasing another property and will definitely use Karen when that happens. She has a wonderful presence and puts a personal touch on negotiations. I would highly recommend her. She will always be "my realtor."
