Karie Backman

Kari was great very confident and considerate

From the very beginning, I felt genuinely supported thanks to her exceptional communication style and thoughtful approach. She was incredibly responsive, taking the time to ask detailed questions about what I wanted and, more importantly, truly listening. She didn’t just hear my preferences; she understood them. She then crafted a well‑organized agenda and even provided helpful sheets so I could track what I liked and disliked about each home, making the entire process feel intentional and stress‑free. Her professionalism showed in every interaction. She was flexible with her schedule, consistently prepared, and always one step ahead. Her deep market knowledge was invaluable—she knew the Sarasota area inside and out and guided me toward neighborhoods and homes that aligned perfectly with our conversations. It was clear she wasn’t just trying to help me buy a house; she was committed to helping me find the right home. What truly set her apart was how much she cared. Even after the purchase, she checked in to ease the stress of relocating from Illinois to Florida. That level of dedication is rare, and it made all the difference. Her hard work, expertise, and genuine investment in her clients shine through in everything she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the Sarasota area—she goes above and beyond in every sense

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!!

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.

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.

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.
