TESTIMONIALS
BOUGHT A HOME IN SOUTH MILWAUKEE
"Our experience with Karen exceeded our expectations! She found us our absolute dream home and guided us in selling our current home, all during a intense real estate market. Her suggestions and expertise in what to look for in a home, how to stage a home, how to negotiate a contract and write an offer were superb. She really gives the white glove treatment- going above and beyond to be present, answer questions, provide reassurance, give a reasonable and objective opinions, and even provide emotional counseling at one point!!! lol. Buying and selling a home can be stressful, but working with Karen made it fun. I would highly recommend her if you are looking to buy or sell a home!"

WE LISTED WITH KAREN BECAUSE...
"We knew that she was THE realtor in Milwaukee. After contacting her, she came over and gave us a few tips of things to do to make our house more sell-able.
We fixed those few things, then Karen came over to take pictures for our listing (she is an awesome photographer!).
Just four days after the house went on the market, and just one open house later, we had three offers, all over asking price and two were CASH offers!
We went from listing to closing in EXACTLY three weeks! Karen is the ultimate professional and made the whole process less daunting. List with Karen...trust me, you will not be disappointed!"
BOUGHT A SINGLE FAMILY HOME IN GREENFIELD, WI
Working with Karen has been an absolute delight from start to finish! My husband and I are first time homebuyers with an FHA loan and we sure chose quite the intense market to buy in. Despite that, we managed to find the home of our dreams in less than 2 months from when we started touring houses and we just moved in last week after an incredibly smooth contingency and closing process! Karen was incredible at guiding us to hone in on exactly what we wanted, needed, and maybe what we didn't need. She kept us realistic about what was affordable for us while also guiding us on what is worth investing in. I cannot express our appreciation enough for keeping our desires top of mind while simultaneously balancing out our budget and loan restrictions. Ultimately, we only ever ended up putting offers in on two houses, the first one deciding not to sell, and the second one being the winner! She is an aggressive finder and closer, and she works her magic with kindness and thoughtful consideration. I cannot stress enough how easy she made this process for us - we experienced none of the horrors of homebuying that everyone always tells you about and I firmly believe that is because of her, as well as our mortgage broker who she referred us to. She knows her stuff, just sit back and trust her to take care of it!!! So much love and thanks for everything!! Emily Jane and Justin (and tail wags from Juniper!!) PS - another super sweet touch : she made sure to get gorgeous photos of us for our accepted offer and closing days, and it just adds to those little details that she pays attention to! Now we will have those photos to look back on and smile 🙂

MILWAUKEE WI
"When I was searching to buy a duplex to owner-occupy in Bay View, Karen was the natural fit! As a landlord herself, she knew the potential pitfalls to look for and was very helpful throughout the entire purchasing process.
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, it was important to me to work with a realtor who understood my life experiences and I'm always happy to support members of the community in their business endeavors, especially easy for Karen since she's an amazing realtor!"

THIS WAS OUR FIRST TIME PURCHASING A HOME...
"We had a ton of novice questions and fundamental misunderstandings about what we actually wanted in a home (turns out a bungalow is the opposite style of what we actually need in the layout of a home).
Karen has been exceedingly responsive- she’s always available. And she’s super flexible working around our “normal business hours” schedules. She walked us through every step of the process- steps we didn’t even know existed until we got there (she was there during the inspection, at closing, and through all the back and forth with the sellers).
She’s even followed up after closing- it’s really refreshing to work with someone who is doing their job because they love the work. She is a great Realtor and an expert in the Milwaukee area. Her Real Estate expertise helped us get the perfect home for us."
… I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAVING KAREN HELP YOU BUY OR SELL YOUR NEXT HOUSE!
"Karen was great to work with. Super knowledgeable about our neighborhood and patient with us as it took us about 5 months to find the perfect house.
She answered all our questions quickly and was able to meet with us whenever we needed her. I HIGHLY recommend having Karen help you buy your next house!"
