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 20 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.

Excellent communicator and deeply caring

Excellent communicator and deeply caring

Katie was such a wonderful resource through the selling process. She provided so much guidance on how to prepare the property for selling and was able to take care of tasks that I didn’t have a vendor for. She was very on top of the status of the market and helping to better gauge how the house should be priced as there market shifted. On top of all of that she was incredibly supportive. I would definitely recommend her if you’re selling a property and I’m sure she’d be equally helpful in finding a property.

Our experience with Karie was seamless, effortless & totally satisfying all around!

After interviewing several realtors to list our home prior to meeting and interviewing with Karie, we felt very confident that she would be the one for us! Her vast knowledge of the real estate market, her professionalism, and her amazing personality assured us that we made the right decision! From start to finish, Karie was there to answer all our questions and be present at our home for showings with buyer's agents in order to give them all the best possible experience and answer any questions they may have had while viewing our home. We've bought and sold homes numerous times in the past and never before have we seen a realtor so dedicated and hands-on! We will highly recommend Karie to anyone we know seeking to buy or sell their home!

The Right Choice

The Right Choice

Choosing Karie as my realtor was the right choice at the right time. Selling a home from another state and a different time zone is no easy task, but Karie made the remote process seamless. It is easy to see why she is a top realtor in Sarasota. While she brings numerous strengths to the table, three in particular stood out. First, her deep knowledge of the Sarasota market, real estate processes, and local professional network is superior. Second, her vibrant, positive energy and creative marketing strategies hit the mark perfectly. Finally, her responsiveness was incredible – she was always quick to reply to my many calls, texts, and emails. Karie gave me complete peace of mind from start to finish, and I am incredibly grateful for her expertise.

Very professional and knowledgeable realtor.

Very professional and knowledgeable realtor.

Karie was highly professional and had an excellent knowledge of the skills needed in the real estate market. Communication between my wife and I and the buyers agent were impeccable. She was always on top of the actions needed to make sure the sale was done in a timely manner and all actions were completed as required to eventually get to closing.

We came into town for the inspection of the condo and in discussing items we wanted to improve, Karie had a painter in the unit within an hour! Her friendliness, professionalism, advice, and ability to get things done left us knowing that we had a top tier ally on our side. 100% recommend Karie, if you want the best, Call her now!
