Kari Shank

Kari was great from start to finish. She helped in setting reasonable expectations on pricing along with condition and work to be done, and communicated with me through the entire process. She is knowledgeable, negotiates well, and very professional. She always replied to any questions or concerns I had promptly regardless of the day of the week. I would highly recommend her to anyone selling their house.

I recently hired Kari Shank to sell a house included in an estate. When interviewing agents, key facts regarding the house were: • Desire for a quick sale • A sales price that would not negatively impact others in the neighborhood and/ or leave money on the table • Property to be sold as is with all known issues disclosed After interviewing three agents, I received 3 very different proposed prices. Kari’s was much lower, including significant analysis to back up her suggested sale price. I called the other agents to discuss the proposed price, which included more general canned analysis. Kari’s included in-depth research into the total number of days on the market for other houses in the neighborhood (numbers not available to consumers), price changes, differences in upgrades, ages, conditions, etc. The reality was that the sale price I had thought based on what I could find would take many months. In fact, after talking to Kari about increases in both mortgage rates and inventory, we revised her proposed sale price down a few thousand more. Three days after the house went up for sale, a cash offer was presented for the house sold 2.5 weeks later! I'd have liked to sell the house for more, but that’s not the market we are in. I could have held out for more, at the cost of $ 1,900/month in expenses. Other comparable houses in the neighborhood have been on the market for 200-270 days; others have had to invest money to sell. That reduces the effective amount cleared on the sale in the long run. And the stress? Is there really a dollar amount you can place on this? When hiring a real estate agent, you want someone who knows the market, listens to you, provides fact-based advice, and presents a proposal that incorporates all of this. There may be information you don’t want to hear, but their job is to make sure you get all the information to make a good decision. Kari will do this professionally and with kindness. You want her on your team!

Kari knows the market inside and out, and we felt completely at ease with her helping us through the entire process! Our home received multiple offers and went under contract almost immediately. Kari was always open and responsive with communication and was quick to answer any questions we had along the way. We did run into a bump when our home failed the septic inspection, but Kari and her team recommended someone who was able to get the job done and truly advocated for us throughout the process. We trusted the process, and Kari got it done! We couldn’t be happier with how everything worked out and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy, sell, or both!

Kari told us what was needed to prepare our house to be sold. This helped us sell it quickly and for more than asking. She was overall very responsive and easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed working with her. We liked Kari so much the first time we bought our house in 2015 that we used her again to sell our house in 2026.

Kari was great! She was very quick to return emails and texts. House sold within days at more than list price.

Kari was an amazing asset to have on our team for selling our home! Her market analysis of our home looked at all aspects/variables, and led to a quick, favorable sale with little negotiating. Kari had our best interest in mind every step of the process and certainly knows her stuff! Kari stayed in communication with us constantly and explained anything we had questions on with great patience and understanding. I would totally recommend Kari for anyone selling a home!
