My husband and I were planning to buy a house in Venice, Fl and move from out of state. The importance of finding the right realtor is paramount. I went through many sources in search of OUR realtor. When I saw Kari's photo and then read her biography, I knew my intuition was right. Thank God, I listened. Kari Pate was the One. She has a very impressive track record and we trusted her completely from the very first phone call. She proved herself to be very responsible, very knowledgeable, a thorough professional, and on top of that, she was just a very kind, friendly, sincere and charming woman! My husband and I knew we were in good and safe hands! She walked with us all the way to the very end after we found OUR home! Kari supported us through the ups and downs of the challenging process of finding our dream home. She was always emotionally and professionally involved! Her excellent go-anywhere skills have helped us tremendously! She is well organized, very responsive to any issues, emails, questions etc... She is very gentle, does not push you or make decisions for you, but politely guides you in the right direction! Whatever she recommends, if at first glance it does not seem quite right, it is actually right! Because Kari has a lot of experience and she knows her job like no one else! If you want a realtor who will support you, be professional, honest, sincere and 100% involved in your journey - Kari Pate is it! She became our dear friend and the first closest person in Venice. Thank you for everything you have done for us during the long but fun months of our shared adventure! You are simply the best, and we couldn't be luckier! We highly recommend Kari Pate as a REALTOR! Kari has an impressive motto: "I served our country, please let me serve you!" and she truly does serve YOU.

Patient. Determined. Energetic. Focused. Understanding Knowledgeable. Considerate. Sense of Humor. It’s just a few of the many attributes of our realtor, Kari Pate. We were so fortunate to have found her as our Realtor. Early on in the buying process we made it clear to Kari that we were interested to learn the various areas, that we would be making multiple trips to Florida to do just that, and that our buying timeline was every bit of two years out, if not longer. Knowing all that, Kari worked with us and for us tirelessly. She sent listings for our review, coached us on how to find listings on our own on public sites, showed us as many as 8-10 properties during each of our visits to SW Florida (per trip!), and she stayed in regular contact with us in between the trips we made. Her persistence and patience paid off, as she ended up finding us our PERFECT home, which we closed on recently (August, 2020). Bottom line: If you want to work with a professional that will work WITH you to buy or sell your home, and who ensures that you feel like part of the process, you need Kari on your side. You will not regret your decision. As an added benefit, you will be supporting a Veteran!
