Thank you Karie for a great job.

Her knowledge of the housing market was spot on and we always felt we had the perfect person working for us. She made the whole process as effortless as possible. We would definitely use her again and again if needed.

When Only The Best Will Do...

When Only The Best Will Do...

Knowledge - if Karie doesn't already know the answer she will find it for you! And, get back to you when she says she will! Caring - Karie will call, check in and make sure you are ok during every phase of the process. Effectiveness - if there is a smarter, more efficient, more appropriate way to get something done Karie will find it. Total "out-of-the-box" thinker. Dedication - she may have a million listings (because she's so good at what she does) but you will always feel like her priority. Results - bottom line is that all the above are great but without results...you know! Grace - and finally, did you ever know what you were doing was the right thing because everything was "in the flow"...aiding and abetting your well-being along the way? With Karie, that is a standard state of operation. I am forever grateful for having had Karie by my side throughout this seamless process. You cannot find a better realtor...period!

Karie is a 4R professional (respectful, responsible, responsive and reliable)

My family made a big move to Sarasota from Boston. We had few real estate agents before working with Karie. Her service was flawless, she found us the perfect house and negotiated the purchase price that was "way" below the market. We are so glad the opportunity to work with Karie, with our budget, most agents will leave us at the bottom of their priority. Karie always responded promptly and find time to work with us on navigating the process and help us understand the specifics local rule and regulations. When she doesn't have the answer, she has a huge network that will jump to help. We had a wonderful experience from start to close, and will recommend to try her service for anyone who is looking for or even already working with an agent.

The Very Best in all my many many moves.

The Very Best in all my many many moves.

Karie took us under her wing and lead us through the entire process from beginning to end more professionally and personally than I ever anticipated. If she is only in the top 5% of Sarasota's realtors I feel someone should check the voting process. Our opinion is she is in the top 1%.

I wholeheartedly recommend Karie as an exceptional realtor. Her impeccable skills in staging, connecting with the right buyers, and managing inspections and contractors made our home selling process seamless. Karie's dedication and market expertise are unmatched, and her commitment to ensuring every step was handled with precision and care truly stood out. If you're in search of a realtor who goes above and beyond and delivers results, Karie is the one to trust.

We came to Karie looking to buy a home quickly

We came to Karie looking to buy a home quickly

We came to Karie looking to buy a home quickly. We were in a rental and had 5 weeks to find a home, we needed a quick escrow. Karie is the best agent I’ve worked with. She showed us many homes and was very honest pointing out everything the house had that was on our list what made her exceptional was also pointing out why a house wouldn’t meet out needs. Karie truly wants you to be happy in your new home! She is very knowledgeable, kind, we could always reach her and has an amazing work ethic. We highly recommend her.

Karie is more than an agent...she is a partner in the sellers' home life journey.

Karie is more than an agent...she is a partner in the sellers' home life journey.

We interviewed a number of real estate agents before selecting Karie to be our agent. She appeared to be knowledgeable but just as important for us, her personality was one of a kind, caring soul. Karie was quick to give recommendation that would improve the "sellability" of the house and she remain kind and supportive during what was a for us a rough process: 2 failed contracts and an eventual buyer who wanted to extract everything possible from us until I finally said if you want more go find another house. Being we had moved from the house and we out of town during the sales process, Kari had extra work on her hands when it came to some work needing to be done at the house. She was always willing to assist and when not available found others who could help. I am not sure other agents would have done this. But Kari is more than an agent...she is a partner in the sellers' (and I am sure buyers when she is on that end of the service) home life journey. So our "gut instinct" when selecting Kari turned out to be great and we highly recommend Kari.

Karie is not only a fantastic realtor, but she is also an excellent support system.

Buying and finding a house at the top of the market was not an easy task. Karie was very professional as well as personal…my stresses were high as we were house hunting from out of state. Karie is not only a fantastic realtor, but she is also an excellent support system. ANYTIME there was a house we wanted to see Karie moved fast as houses were flying off the market. She negotiated and helped us to obtain the house of our dreams, working hard to make sure things like repairs were fair. Karie and her team are amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home, you won’t regret it.

I highly recommend Karie Backman

When deciding to sell my Sarasota home I was a bit insecure stepping into the unknown territory of real estate sales. Within 10 minutes of meeting Karie I felt 100% confident she was the realtor for me. Karie communicated her knowledge of the real estate market and the potential for my home so clearly and professionally….and then proceeded relentlessly with integrity and care to connect the right buyer to my home. She made herself available almost 24/7 for any questions or concerns …keeping me posted at all times… I put my trust in her completely…and she sold my house! Beautiful,intelligent, caring, she’s a bright light in the crazy market of real estate for sure.
