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.

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.

Karie is one of the most positive and responsive realtors I have ever encountered!!! She handled our delicate situation with the utmost professionalism and care and got us a ton of competitive offers on our home. She answered all of my daily questions without any annoyance and I felt she truly cared about helping me through the process. I highly recommend her!

When we decided to sell a 1 acre building lot on Casey Key, several weeks were spent researching real estate firms and brokers. From 3 qualified brokers, we met with and received proposals/marketing plans and property value estimates. While we did not select the broker with the most experience or agents, we did manage to find the perfect fit. The best recommendation I can give Karie Backman is, she sold out property faster than expected for what we hoped it was worth. Excellent communication, great marketing materials, and a refreshing work ethic. We couldn’t be happier - Well done Karie!

Excellent who indeed is truly professional. Attended all home showing except two. Being an Interior Designer her talent is a surely a plus in review of the way your home is staged, and will suggest if a placement should be different, understands the local market, has an engaging personality, has a problem solver mindset, is honest, and self motivated. She has a network of connections. Her engaging personality and drive another great asset for any homeowner wishing to sell their home.

Karie is there for form beginning to end! I was so scared and she was right there to provide the comfort and confidence I needed! She is now a member of our family!

Karie was a consummate professional. She worked with me through a long and arduous search (we're talking well over a year) for the perfect home. When the right property appeared, everything fell into place. It was a seamless transaction. Thank you, Karie, for being such a wonderful agent. I would highly recommend Karie to anyone buying or selling in the Sarasota area.

Karie was exceptional to work with. She was very knowledgeable and experienced. She communicated very well and kept me informed each step of the way. She made it a very easy process. I highly recommend her, she’s the best!!

This was my first time buying a home and I did not know what to expect. Karie made the process very easy and her expertise is second to none. She answered every question we had in a timely and efficient manner. She made our home buying experience a great one and I would highly reccomend her to anyone who is looking to buy/sell their home. Thank you Karie!

Karie was wonderful to work with. She is very personable and professional and handled all the details from the home search to closing with ease. Karie quickly responded to messages and seemed to be available 24/7. I can’t say enough about how easy she was to work with and how supportive she was during the process. She found our dream home for us, made sure we got it and continues to be available to support us as we move in.

Karie helped us buy and sell a house in 2018. We felt very confident with her on our side to help with every aspect of buying and selling. She made everything convenient and was a great negotiator!

Karie Backman sold my fathers house in Sarasota, FL. From the beginning, she was professional, knowledgable, communicated well and was very kind! She marketed the property extremely well and followed up on everything. Since I was out of state, she helped with set up of repairs or anything else that needed done. I would highly recommend Karie for anyone wanting to sell or buy a home!
