We had the pleasure of both selling and buying our homes with Karie as our agent, and we can confidently say that will forever use, and recommend Karie -with enthusiasm! She is incredibly positive, helpful, and thoughtful, and always had our best interests in mind. She really gets to know you and your needs. On top of being extremely knowledgeable of both the buying and selling process, she has a gift of making you feel at ease in all situations. After our first meeting, we felt like we had known her for years. She held our hand every step of the way and we were impressed with her attentiveness to all the details. You’ll never use another realtor again once you meet Karie!

Karie has been instrumental in our journey to finding our forever home. No matter what challenges we faced, her positive attitude, kindness, generosity, and honesty lead us the whole way even when it didn't seem possible. Karie shines in her knowledge and skills as a realtor, but now we are blessed to call a dear friend. I tell every single person I know that if they need a trustworthy, friendly realtor that cares far more about her clients than anyone I've met; go to her. Thank you Karie for sticking by us and helping us find our happy place. You are truly one of a kind.

Karie was absolutely fantastic to work with! She made buying our Florida villa a breeze. Super knowledgeable, always quick to respond, and genuinely fun to work with. She really listened to what we wanted and helped us find the perfect place. Couldn’t be happier—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home down here!

Karie is truly one of a kind. Not only is she an incredible real estate agent, she’s also been a trusted partner and friend throughout this entire process. Selling my home was a big decision, and Karie made it feel easy every step of the way. She handled multiple offers like a pro, negotiated with confidence and care, and made sure the closing went off without a single issue. I always felt like I was in good hands. Her dedication, experience, and heart shine through in everything she does. I would 100% recommend Karie to anyone looking to buy or sell—she’s the real deal, and I’m so grateful to have had her by my side.

Karie came to us highly recommended by our best friends in Sarasota. The woman who made the recommendation is a retired realtor herself who spent many years in the business. She and her husband used Karie to both buy and sell a home. Karie had to deal with much adversity getting our Sarasota home sold. First, Hurricane Milton delayed our listing date by a month and then quickly flipped Sarasota from a sellers' market to a buyers' market. When we finally got an acceptable offer five months later, that family changed their mind. Thanks to Karie's excellent reputation, good staging skills and fantastic photography, shortly thereafter her listing brought us another buyer with the same offer. The offer came with a contingency that took some time to fulfill but Karie helped us through all phases of the transaction. Karie is a very positive person, full of energy and always willing to help. We are grateful to her! You will never regret using her skills and nearly 20 years of realtor experience.

Karie is amazing. Upon taking on the sale of my property, she provided the pertinent statistics and a plan for making the sale. She was consistent with communicating progress and offering advice as a subject matter expert. I would work with Karie again in a heart beat.

We had an incredible experience selling our home with Karie Backman! From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to getting us the best possible outcome. Her market expertise and strategic approach helped us secure multiple offers in record time, and we ended up selling faster than we ever expected, given challenging market conditions for the sellers now days! Karie guided us through every step of the process with clear communication, expert advice, and unwavering support. She knew exactly how to price and market our home to attract serious buyers, and her negotiation skills ensured we got the best deal possible. Beyond her professionalism, Karie was a pleasure to work with, always responsive, proactive, and genuinely invested in our success. If you are looking for a top-notch real estate agent who delivers results, we highly recommend Karie Backman!

Karie was the perfect choice for me to sell my home. Her knowledge and expertise helped make the process move along so smoothly. She explained things in an efficient manner through constant contact each day. Karie is a professional through and through and I would highly recommend her.

Karie came in to what was a 6 month hopeless condo for sale. She took charge with confidence and her suggestions were very realistic and affordable to move the sale forward. 3 months later ( including 2 devastating hurricanes) we closed and were able to move on. Thank you Karie!!

Very knowledgeable about the market. I lived in a different state and we communicated many times. We met many times in Florida and she was great, very personable, and answered all questions. I couldn’t have asked for anyone any better. She went above and beyond to help us find just the right property. I would recommend Karie to anyone looking for a home. She is more than a real estate agent. She is someone I call a friend

My experience working with Karie was exceptional. I was in a very difficult situation as I had way overpaid for my home in 2022 and needed to get as much as I could back out of it. I did not want to rent it out and wait for a market rebound in that neighborhood as that is a difficult task to say the least. Karie was constantly available to answer questions. She ensured my home showed as well as it possibly could. She and her team held open houses for me frequently. Karie was straight up with me when I was not being realistic about what I could expect to get for the villa. It was hard to hear but what I needed to know so I could sell the villa. I couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable and professional partner to help me. She went above and beyond my expectations. It took a long time to sell but I know if I hadn’t been working with her, it would still be on the market, and I would have had to take even less for it to sell it. I am very happy that I chose to work with her!

You won’t find a more thorough and professional realtor anywhere! She’s so encouraging and enthusiastic and knows how to get you the best deal you could ever imagine. . She has excellent people skills and can even work with unlikable and difficult people. She makes things so easy and doesn’t waste your time. She’s high octane and will get you across the finish line I promise. Please consider her as your next Realator whether buying or selling. You’ll thank me later. Konstantinou
