We listed our house with Karen Hagen in the very busy Weston market in Spring 2021. She was clearly the right choice for us from pricing our house to marketing strategies to choosing the right offer. As we prepared our house for sale, Karen provided various resources and staging ideas. She was professional, knowledgeable and always available. Karen has a personable, patient, low key approach that was reassuring and eased the stress of selling our house. She always made us feel that our sale was front and center for her. Karen Hagen is a wonderful agent and we have engaged her again in helping us find our new home.

Karen helped us sell our house in Westport with a closing that occurred on April 30th of this year. My wife and are convinced that we got the best service possible from anyone practicing in the field in this real estate market at this point in time. Her knowledge of the market was holistic and encyclopedic. She had her finger on the pulse of how negotiations of home sales were playing out at the time, and was therefor in an excellent position to coach us regarding both pricing and negotiating strategy. Her relationships with the third parties with whom one deals in property sales, including lawyers, tradesmen, surveyors et al brought a world of value to the process. Finally, Karen is a really personable individual, and what you see is what you get. I would recommend Karen to anyone planning to either buy or sell a home in this neck of the woods without reservation.

We are so appreciative for Karen’s amazing insights and good counsel on our recent home sale. She is meticulous, focused and, more importantly, fun to work with. We were a tad apprehensive opening our home to potential buyers during COVID and Karen took great pains to ease any concerns. And, she helped us maximize the value of a very unique antique home. Highly recommended. A+++++

Karen is a delight! She is professional, personable and knows the Weston/Westport area like the back of her hand. Each and every time we reached out to Karen, she responded immediately. We have referred friends to her in the past and they were always pleased and successful. We have dealt with many realtors over the past several decades (in multiple markets) and can say unequivocally, Karen is the absolute best!

Success in a difficult market! Karen took me under her wing and made sure I found the home that was a great value and I loved! Professional, compassionate, and her attention to detail sets her apart and the KMS Partners at Compass! She is local and knows the area exceptionally well. I was so fortunate to have her find my forever home for me!

After having lived in our home for 24 years, getting it decluttered and ready to sell was a daunting prospect! Karen helped us every step of the way, giving great advice on what was needed to make our home the most marketable in our town (which she knew well), while steering us away from unnecessary upgrades where we were unlikely to get a return on our investment. She provided some good referrals for work that needed to be done as well. When we were finally ready to list, she recommended an excellent stager and sent a professional team who photographed the home beautifully, inside and out. We could hardly believe it was the same house! The first weekend she set up 16 showings, and was relentless in getting our house seen by the most potential buyers until we went to contract. Karen did all the negotiations as well, and kept in constant communication with us (nights and weekends too!) when there were urgent matters to handle. We were more than pleased with the experience, as well as the end result. You will be too!

Karen helped us to find our home in Weston, CT while we were living in California during the pandemic. Her knowledge of the market, responsiveness, professionalism and kindness made this a stellar experience for our family. We were first-time home buyers and Karen guided us every step of the way and truly listened to what we were seeking in a home. Because of this, we trusted Karen to view homes on our behalf and sought out her expert point of view on several properties we considered along the way. Karen consistently went the extra mile for our family...and still does! She checks in on us and makes sure we are settling into our new home. I highly recommend Karen and would work with her again in an instant!

We sold our home in Wilton with Karen's help and expertise being a critical component of the sale. She was professional, supportive, and as the inevitable hiccups came, she guided us through them with her knowledge and sensitivity. Her reading of the market was spot on and she made the process go smoothly.

Karen was great at only showing us the houses that fit our criteria. She was very knowledgable about local neighborhoods and pro's and con's of each particular situation. Gave us excellent advice on bidding and negotiating. We couldn't be happier with her service or our new house.

Karen Hagen impressed me throughout the entire selling precess. She was extremely well-prepared for our first meeting and impressed me with her knowledge of the market. Every step of the way I felt she brought something special to the process from identifying actions I could take to prepare the house for sale, finding contractors who were able to work quickly and inexpensively, handling the staging without me and even taking a building inspector on a virtual tour of the basement. Through the entire time we worked together she was patient, cheerful and always responded quickly to any of my calls. Two days after my house went on the market I had seven offers. Who can argue with success!

Karen was a key player in helping us transition from 25 happy years in Weston to our second home in Westport. She sold our Weston home in 24 hours and helped us identify a unique spot at Compo where we built a new home for our mature family. Karen works quickly, efficiently and is VERY responsive to her clients. We were always impressed with her communication with the other brokers with whom she seems to have very good relationships. This is very important in getting appointments, viewings, and in negotiating deals in a timely fashion. We never felt that we were missing any potential opportunity in the process, and we smoothly moved through two transactions and two moves thanks to Karen's professionalism, hard work and superior knowledge of the local market. -Liz and Jeff Silverman
