About Karie

Specialty: I focus on guiding my clients through successful residential real estate transactions by focusing on being a solution finder. I enjoy helping my clients move to their next chapter, whether they are buying or selling a home. What is my history? I graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in Communication Disorders, Speech Science and Psychology. After graduating, my concentration throughout the past 18 years has been in sales, marketing, and customer relationship management, all of which require my strong communication, business and negotiating skills. I joined Keller Williams in 2006 where I focus my business in residential real estate. I possess the important characteristics required to guide Clients to a successful closing of a real estate contract, whether on the buying or selling side. My keen attention to detail and desire to maintain continuing education in the ever-changing real estate industry has contributed to my successful growing real estate business. To serve my Clients better in pursuing real estate opportunities, I have earned numerous designations by attending an intensive series of classroom instruction, covering a variety of subjects including: contract law, professional standards, sales and marketing, finance, and risk reduction. With this designation and through increased awareness of current topics important to the real estate professional, such as legal issues, I can better serve prospective clients and customers. The designations I have earned include: Accredited Buyer Specialist (ABR), Certified Residential Specialist (CRS, only 3% of Realtors hold this designation), Graduate, Realtor Institute (GRI), Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS), Certified Negotiations Expert (CNE) My experience, tenacity, resourcefulness, integrity and passion for the real estate industry will empower me to help you complete the successful sale or purchase of a home. I love my work and helping clients move to their next chapter! For more information, please visit www.LifestylesInTheSun.com.

Kari was a dream to work with. Very good clear communication. She went above and beyond helping me with getting things straightened out for my somewhat complicated closing. She was always very professional but also down to earth and easy to talk to. I would highly highly recommend Karie!!

Backman's got your back!

Backman's got your back!

Our agent, Karie Backman, was instantly responsive from the first day we signed our agreement. Karie did everything possible to get our home sold. From a very gregarious social media marketing plan to open houses. We were always busy with showings and it was just a matter of time before our house sold. Karie brought us past the finish line in first place Thank you for thinking of us first Karie. There was always open communication and questions answered in a timely manner. Karie helped us make decisions with professional insight, advice and acumen.

The only real estate agent one should use.

The only real estate agent one should use.

We first met Karie when we went to an open house of a property she was selling. While we were not interested in the property she was selling, we told her what we were looking for. She didn’t forget and when something became available that matched what we were looking for, she contacted us. Working with Karie Backman was an outstanding experience from start to finish. She truly went above and beyond to help us find the perfect condo, taking the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and guiding us through every step of the process with patience and professionalism. What really set her apart was the incredible support she provided beyond just finding the property. She connected us with excellent vendor referrals for the work we needed done, recommended a great mortgage lender, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Karie was highly organized, detail-oriented, and always one step ahead. Having her there at our closing was the perfect example of her dedication and commitment to her clients. We always felt confident knowing she was in our corner. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and truly caring real estate professional, I would highly recommend Karie Blackman.

Excellent communication

Karie was very knowledgable when it came to the housing market, she was efficient and very professional but also friendly and funny….it was a pleasure to meet with her every week, my daughter and I were quite picky and we took a long time finding the perfect house, Karie was patient and kind, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a property in the future.

Kindness with patience

Karie was very knowledgeable and always looked out for my best interest. Even when I was willing to overlook a few things, she would bring to my attention the importance of being thorough. I have had a couple real estate transactions with Karie and would highly recommend her to represent you as either the buyer’s or seller’s agent. If the need arises again, I would have Karie represent me.
