We worked with Karen to sell my family's home in Weaverville from afar. She was excellent on all fronts -- professional, responsive, thoughtful in her listening style and attentive to detail. We felt like she was with us every step of the way! We had multiple offers during a short showing window and a smooth transaction to follow. We enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her.

"Karen had been our agent as buyers and knew our home well. She had secured multiple offers on the first listing day and more thereafter. All were above the original asking price. We closed in 3 weeks despite an extension to buyers for additional inspections. Karen Svites is a jewel."

I put Karen through two years of looking at this place and that place, until I chose a property which was completely different from what I had told her to look for. Through all she was patient, helpful, and informative, and when it came time actually to buy the property, she asked questions that I  would never have thought to ask, and brought the price down as low as it was ever likely to go. An excellent experience and a realtor whom I wold recommed to anyonme. 

Karen helped us sell some property in Asheville, and we were thrilled with her work. We live in Wilmington, so we relied on Karen to keep us posted. She went above and beyond, visiting the property often to make sure it was alright. Highest recommendation!

Listing to closing in SIX WEEKS!! Karen is a champ. Knowledgeable, patient, kind, and most helpful of all in real estate, a fantastic sense of humor! She kept us grounded and calm when stress set in, she knew the market and as needed did even more research to help us. This was our first experience  working with her as sellers, but we have also bought two houses with her help and guidance. We have recommended her by word of mouth and happy to recommend her here as well.

We are so glad we had Karen there for us during the process of buying our first home. She made it so easy and no stress. She kept us up to date on everything that went on everyday. Any question we had she would get back to us so quickly. I never felt lost or stressed when buying our home. I think  the best decision we made was choosing her as our realtor!

Karen was awesome and extremely helpful in my search for my first house. She was supportive and actually cared about how I felt and what I wanted. She wasn’t looking for a sale, she was looking for me to get exactly what I wanted for the price I wanted. I enjoyed my home buying experience because  of her and couldn’t have imagined working with someone else!

Karen has been outstanding! She helped my husband and I to find the land to build our home back in 2020. We were so impressed with our experience that we called her FIRST to help us to sell our home in 2023! Her years of experience and knowledge of the area helped us to price our home just right, so that we received multiple offers. Karen's negotiation skills and advocacy for us were top notch! She is absolutely wonderful to work with!!!J

"Zillow randomly assigned Karen to me, so I was not expecting to retain her beyond a tour or two at first. However, the care, kindness, diligence, and patience she demonstrated in her work with me made it easy to stick with her. She asked all the right questions of me and the listing agents without being pushy or taking up too much time. Her correspondence with me was perfect — all of her replies were made inside 24hrs, and she only reached out with necessary updates. She was a firm advocate in negotiations, executed all phases of the buying process quickly, and was an excellent guide through its complexities. If you are looking for a streamlined, easy, and pleasant home buying experience, then you should definitely work with Karen."

She is the most wonderful agent we have ever worked with, and we have worked with a lot of agents over the years and recently where we live locally. She is a far caliber of intelligence over most realtors and her knowledge and honesty are outstanding. We highly recommend her as a realtor. She was  available any time to look at homes with us. She had knowledge of home specifics, area and much paperwork on home when we would meet with her, as she does a lot of homework. She is watching out for homes we may be interested in and would send them on a regular basis keeping us informed of current trends in the area. We decided for personal reasons not to buy in this area.

Karen is the Best! I had a REALLY bad homebuying experience 10 years ago in another city....Karen listened to my Fears and Coached Me Along the Entire Homebuying Process in Laymens Terms and did some Amazing Negotiating for my New Townhome...several of my long time co workers recently bought Homes  with Her as well and All of Us Love Our New Digs!

Karen helped me find the best possible house for my budget. She really listened to my needs and helped me prioritize them. She always went above and beyond expectation during the entire process and made the experience as easy and worry free as possible for me. I needed a lot of help, and her  contacts, from loan officers, a home inspector, a contractor, a handyman, a mold inspector, an oil tank specialist, and a structural engineer, were top notch. She has a team of people that helped me acquire and create my dreamy home in the heart of downtown Asheville for a reasonable price in a very tight Asheville real estate market. This is my second experience using Karen as my real estate agent. 5 years ago, she helped me sell a difficult home to a grateful buyer. Again, Karen exceeded every possible expectation in that sale. She is my real estate agent for life.

When we decided to sell our first and only home recently, our thought was to ask Karen to consult with us about how to proceed. She came to talk with us and was prepared beyond our expectation with what she judged would be a good selling price to start with and she had the documentation to support  her estimate. That preparedness continued throughout our experience, and has resulted in proceeds which have firmly launched us toward the next chapter in our lives. Karen's recipe is knowledge and professionalism, but with an added cup of joy. She kept us informed at every step so we could make informed decisions about what to avoid and what to embrace, and was always ready with solid advice and suggestions about what to do not just one step ahead but two. Karen exudes confidence. Her goal is to make it happen, even to the point of cheerfully coaching a buyer's agent on the niceties of the ever-changing modern-day real estate market. Asking Karen to be our agent was the best decision we could have made.

Karen Svites is a fantastic real estate agent. She has been an amazing advisor and champion throughout the process of me purchasing my first home. Besides buying the house, I had two other major life events happen within the surrounding two-month period, including the sudden death of my mother.  Karen was empathetic, protective, so knowledgeable and always professional. I am proud to have her represent me. So much so, that she will now be representing me in the sale of my mother’s house. I am so grateful
