As first time home buyers, Karen helped us navigate the complicated real estate world and find the house that worked for us within our tight budget and time line, while carting around a small baby and having limited days to look in a tight market. She is very knowledgeable about all aspects of home buying, kind, has great connections to help home loans go easier, stays on top of things, answers any question (without acting as though it was a stupid one), is readily available, and truly loves what she does. She was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her to others.
