About Karen

As a Texas Realtor with CB&A Realtors, I specialize in serving the Austin and Houston Residential Markets. My unique background in the Oil and Gas industry, where I spent over 20 years on the accounting and finance side, adds a valuable perspective to my real estate practice. Additionally, my experience in new home construction, and in marketing and sales of multi-million-dollar luxury homes, allows me to offer a diverse set of skills to my clients. Providing a best-in-class experience is always my top priority. I take the time to get to know my clients and ensure that their needs are met throughout the buying or selling process. I bring added value to the table through my exceptional negotiation skills, professionalism, and strong work ethic. Growing up in a military family, I understand the challenges that come with the buying, selling, and moving process. That's why I strive to provide a one-stop shop for my clients, helping them navigate these complex transactions with ease. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my husband, exploring the Texas Wine Country, and volunteering for the American Heart Association. I am also proud to say that my son recently graduated from Mississippi State University with a Mechanical Engineering Degree.

Excellent selling experience!

This is the second time I've worked with Karen to sell a home, and both times have been an excellent experience. Karen is extremely professional, highly responsive, very knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. During this home sale, we had a series of unfortunate events befall us while out of state, and Karen helped us navigate our journey as seamlessly as possible. We greatly appreciate her efforts, and give her our highest recommendation!

Karen and her team were amazing and spot on with their analysis of the market and what we should expect in terms of time to sell our home given it's condition and the price point we were entering the market. From start to finish, the professionalism displayed by Karen and Deneka, the guidance and advice given to both my wife and me and the support and understanding of our needs were far above and beyond what I could have ever hoped for. In the end, our home was sold in 9 days, closed in just over 30 and new friends were made through it all. The whole experience allowed us to move forward and onto the next chapter of our lives without hassle and in a very short period of time. This dynamic duo delivers superior results that will far exceed your expectations. They will be honest with you, but you must do your part too. It's important to let them know your expectations up front as we did. They then told us what we needed to do to help them get there. We all put the plan in place, set dates, followed up, adjusted as necessary, and then brought the house to market. We worked their plan and the plan worked.

Extremely satisfied with Karen and the results achieved on the sale of our home. Sold in 9 days, closed in 27 and we were able to move on to the next exciting chapter of our lives! The marketing of our home was top shelf and the advice given at every turn proved to be spot on.
