Karen Paulsen

We hired Karen to sell our large suburban home. She impressed us with the knowledge of our neighborhood and the local market. We were even more impressed by the amount of traffic she drove through the house. When the time came to accept offers, we were confident that she had done all she could to show our house in the best possible light. She was knowledgeable and patient with us during the escrow process, and was responsive returning calls and emails throughout the whole process. I would warmly recommend Karen whether you’re buying or selling.

Karen's expert local knowledge and fast communication helped us succeed in purchasing the exact house we wanted. We met Karen at an open house for one of her recent listings and, in the course of a very short conversation, it was obvious to us that Karen knew the local market extremely well. We decided to work with Karen after having a more in-depth conversation at her office. Karen helped familiarize us with the various the neighborhoods in Walnut Creek. She listened to what we were looking for and made several suggestions for neighborhoods we should check out. As we got further along in the process, Karen worked directly with our loan agent to get updates on the status of our "advance approval" and provided us with extensive market comps to prepare us for a writing compelling offer. She was able to show us a house we wanted to see outside of the scheduled open house weekend so we could take our time walking though, look at the house in detail, and openly discuss our thoughts. We would definitely work with Karen again and would highly recommend her to any buyer or seller looking for an agent with extensive local experience.

Karen was extremely responsive and helpful. She never missed beat in the entire process and shielded us from some unhappy sellers and a difficult selling agent. After we bought the house, she even met contractors at our house for us when we were not yet local! Loved working with her!
