Karen had a fantastic level of knowledge regarding the market. Her communication was outstanding. Karen was always very prompt with returning texts, calls or emails. Working with Karen was a pleasure.

Karen was absolutely incredible as our agent. She walked us through every step of the process, and moved mountains to get us our dream home. We couldn't be more satisfied!

Karen knows the market like the back of her hand. She also has her finger in the pulse of projected highs and lows upcoming. She is a consummate professional in every way. She is available for questions and provides honest feedback.

Before starting the home buying process we heard from everyone to go with an agent who is local, though I didn't quite understand the advice. What we came to realize is that no amount of data analytics and digital marketing can replace the decades of experience, in depth knowledge and extensive networks that you get access to when you work Karen and Catherine. They are always accessible, give advice that adds value and can not be replaced by any amount of online data. Specially for first time home buyers, or those new to the east Bay, we felt safe and always had our questions answered. When required, we were able to move quickly and access all the information we required to make informed decisions. We hope to work with Karen and Catherine again in the future and would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for help in the Alameda area.

***Highly recommended*** Karen sold the homes of several of our neighbors, so we felt confident in her skills. She was on top of the process of selling our house from the minute we contacted her. We received insightful advice regarding market conditions, comparable properties, timing and much more. The process was very smooth from start to finish. We were very pleased with the outcome.

Karen is very knowledgeable, helpful, professional and was a true pleasure to work with. We would definitely work with her again, and highly recommend her without reservation to others!

Karen really went above and beyond to not just find the right home but to secure it during offers. She helped us come in at the right price and and had the right strategy to get us our dream home! Thank you Karen!

Working with Karen made selling our house easy!!! She knew anything we asked, or found out the answers in a very timely matter. Getting in touch with her was never difficult, hearing back from her usually in a very short period of time. She was very patient if we needed to ask the same thing a few times! She took care of scheduling everything that needed to be done. There was not much for us to do, and the sale went so smoothly. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Karen is delightful to work with. Her expertise is beneficial to the process. She is kind reassuring throughout the stressful moments. I highly recommend her.

Catherine and Karen helped me with the sale of my late father's house in Alameda. There was a significant family battle over when and how to sell, who was responsible for what and who should pay for fixes and staging. This fight lasted over 18 months, and finally closed this November. Catherine and Karen were unbelievably patient and diplomatic during the entire drama, even when the other side decided to bring in their own agent at the end who did nothing to earn a commission. Can't thank them enough for talking me off the ledge so many times, and always being supportive and positive. The house sold immediately to a buyer they brought in for over asking price. I would recommend their area expertise, no nonsense approach and infinite patience to anyone in a second!

Very pleasant and easy to work with. Very knowledgable on how things are done.

Karen has handled four real estate transactions for us and has expertly navigated the unique situations of each. Her market knowledge, marketing prowess, and negotiating skills are outstanding. She represents her clients exceptionally well while balancing a win for all parties.
