"
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Karen Lewis, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Karen was professional, attentive, and truly dedicated to helping me find the perfect home to lease.
I was fascinated by the fact that we were able to find my new house on the very 1st day of our search.
Karen took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, guided me through the process with clear communication, and always made me feel supported. Her knowledge of the local market and attention to detail saved me a lot of time and stress.
Thanks to Karen’s hard work and persistence, I was able to secure a house lease that exceeded my expectations in both quality and value."~

"Mrs. Karen Lewis was the realtor we randomly got connected with when we were searching for our first rental home in Austin 3 years ago, and ever since we have stayed connected like she’s part of the family! I’m so thankful that regardless of needing her help, she has always been invested in our sweet little family.. checking in on us as if we are her own (hence why I said she feels like part of our family away from actual family)! As we came into another season of transition and wanting to move to an area with a better school district for our daughter starting kindergarten, we knew exactly who to call! We had a bit of a quick timeline to figure out a new place, but Mrs. Karen was always on top of any and every listing we wanted to see. She showed up for every showing and even meet ups with landlords/property managers to make sure we had back up/protection, which I’m so incredibly grateful for because we ended up dealing with a very unfortunate situation that was out of any of our control. She never let us go at any of it alone and worked tirelessly to help us find a new, better option than we could have ever dreamed when another place (that we just thought we loved) ended up falling through. We were panicked, not knowing what we were going to do but she never lost the confidence that she’d get us into a great home. We truly could not be more thankful for how hard she has worked, more than just trying to get clients in a new house and her “job” ending there. You will feel and know she truly cares about you, and finding the BEST fit for your family’s needs."~

"I just have to say Karen Lewis is the best Realtor in Austin. Attentive, understanding, always going above and beyond what is expected of her.
She is very obviously loves her job to be positive and happy dealing with someone controlling like me, so both my gf and I were very happy to have someone so helpful like Karen on our side.
The property management company, I wont name names... *cough* 1836 *cough*, was a pain to say the least and Karen didn't even bat an eye at all of the ridiculous requests they made.
Thank you Karen, and I can't wait for you to help us buy our first home!!"~

"As a military family accustomed to frequent relocations, finding a new home in a limited timeframe can often be a daunting task. This was our fifth move as a family, and we had roughly two weeks to find a suitable home in a new area. Fortunately, we had the incredible support of Karen Lewis, who made this transition remarkably smooth and stress-free. From the outset, Karen demonstrated a profound understanding of the unique challenges faced by military families. Her empathy and dedication to our needs were evident in every interaction. She immediately took charge, streamlining the entire process with an efficiency that we hadn't experienced in our previous moves. Her in-depth knowledge of the local market and keen attention to detail ensured that we were always well-informed and confident in our choices. One of the most notable aspects of working with Karen was her unwavering commitment to supporting our family during this critical time. She went above and beyond, accommodating our tight schedule by arranging numerous home viewings and promptly answering our calls and emails, even outside regular business hours. Her responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile were truly commendable.
In just two weeks, Karen helped us find the perfect home that not only met but exceeded our expectations. She took the time to understand our specific needs, including proximity to good schools and a safe, family-friendly neighborhood, and delivered options that were spot on. Her professionalism and personal touch transformed what could have been a stressful ordeal into a seamless and positive experience. We are incredibly grateful for Karen's dedication and support. Her expertise and genuine care for our family's well-being made a significant difference in our relocation process. We wholeheartedly recommend Karen to anyone, especially fellow military families facing the challenge of finding a new home on a tight schedule. Her outstanding service and commitment to excellence are truly unmatched. Thank you, Karen, for being an extraordinary ally during our move."~

Education
Karen’s journey to real estate is rooted in a lifelong passion for homes, design, and helping people. Originally from Michigan, she spent 37 years in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, where she built a successful career in healthcare operations and management. Her attention to detail, organization, and client care seamlessly transitioned into real estate, a field she’d admired for decades.
Her love for real estate began more than 30 years ago, when she explored neighborhoods, open houses, and market trends with her daughter (now an experienced Realtor in Austin). Over time, she expanded her interest into property investment and ownership, holding multiple properties at once and gaining valuable insight into the buying and selling process.
After years of visiting friends and family in Austin, including two of her children and five grandchildren, Karen knew she wanted to make Central Texas home. Just before the 2020 lockdown, she and her partner relocated to the Austin area, where she joined the Core Residential Group with Realty Austin as a licensed sales associate.
Today, as part of Core Residential Group, Karen brings a thoughtful, personalized approach to helping clients find or sell their homes. Her background in operations and property management, combined with her genuine care for people, allows her to guide buyers and sellers through every step of the process with clarity and confidence.
Her guiding philosophy, “Discover a Home for Your Heart,” reflects her belief that real estate is about more than a transaction; it’s about finding the place where life truly fits.
