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.
