“Karen was amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent in the San Diego area.She went through every step of the home-buying process with us, even when our first offer fell through and we had to start from scratch. Karen made sure we understood each form or piece of paper we were asked to sign as well as made sure our main concerns and questions were promptly answered by the other party's agent.We were also selling our home at the same time as buying and Karen beautifully staged our home that brought in many potential buyers. We were impressed with her ability to negotiate both a home purchase and sale, talk with the loan officers, other agents, and contractors all while consistently remaining pleasant, professional, and warm in her approach with us. Thank you Karen! Kristina and Phil”

“For many years, Karen has been our agent, handling multiple real estate transactions. I have been so impressed by her professionalism and attention to detail that I have referred her to friends and family with confidence, and they have all raved about her. She strikes the perfect balance between genuine kindness and consideration and astute business expertise, advocating for her clients every step of the way. She sold our home at the highest price for our neighborhood and helped us secure our dream home in a very competitive market while keeping us sane. We are forever grateful!.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Karen and her team on the sale of our home AND the purchase of our new home. As you can imagine there was so much happening all at once, but Karen did a great job managing all the various elements of the process. We felt very good about the professionalism, expertise and customer service the we experienced with Karen and her team. (And what a great job they did staging our house) In the end, we felt that we got the right price for the house we were selling and we paid the right price for our new house. It was a great overall experience! What more could you ask for?”

“I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Karen and having her assist me in the process of buying my first home. Because this was my first time as a homebuyer I had a lot of questions and it felt quite overwhelming at first. Karen was extremely helpful in guiding me and making the experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible. It was a true joy getting to know Karen. Her knowledge and expertise, as well as kind spirit and genuine heart are impressive and inspiring. I am loving my new home and am so thankful to Karen for helping me get the place of my dreams.”

“Karen found us a perfect almost new townhome in a lovely spot in spring 2016, and then did a fantastic job selling the same not quite 3 years later, when we moved out of state for new opportunities. Our thorough confidence in her talent and ethics greatly simplified our lives as remote sellers, and we have only the highest praise for her.. Personally, she always related as a friend and friendly neighbor, which was entirely genuine.”

“As a result of recommendations from friends, I had high expectations when I chose Karen to sell my house. Non-the-less, my expectations were exceeded by far.
Karen staged my home to bring out its best features and made it appealing to the pickiest of buyers. They stayed in constant communication with me and provided excellent customer service. Through their efforts I received top market dollar for my home, and the escrow process went smoothly to a successful closing.”

About Karen
As a native of the California coast and a successful licensed Realtor for almost 20 years, helping
clients sell and buy homes from the ocean to the hills is both my profession and my passion.
Since my first sale of a single-family residence in San Elijo Hills in 2004, I’ve developed a thriving
practice based on helping people achieve their dreams, supporting them through transition and
forming genuine, long-term relationships. My practice revolves around my clients – I provide
enthusiastic, personalized service with proactive representation throughout each transaction
and beyond. Clients share their positive experiences with family and friends, and I’ve
established a successful and award-winning business almost exclusively through referrals and
repeat clients. I am honored to have been named a San Diego Five Star Real Estate Agent Award
winner nine years in a row. 

I offer comprehensive real estate services from home buying and selling to consulting and
project management. The California real estate market is constantly evolving, and clients count
on my extensive knowledge of market conditions and past, present and future trends to help
them make smart decisions. As an Accredited Staging Professional (ASP), I offer complete
professional staging with an eye for creating inviting, engaging spaces that make listings stand
out and captivate buyers’ interest. I am also a Certified Short Sale® and Foreclosure Resource
Specialist® with an in-depth understanding of distressed sales and investor opportunities.
Before launching my real estate career, I graduated college with a degree in marketing and
spent several years in advertising. This early training and ongoing experience have proven
valuable in creating compelling, attention-getting listings and knowing the best ways to market
them to every demographic.

When I’m not working with clients, I’m usually spending time with my family, including two
sons at UCSB and a daughter at San Marcos High School. I served on the San Elijo Elementary
School (SEES) Parent Teacher Organization for more than 10 years and have been active in the
school community throughout my real estate career. I also enjoy surfing, yoga, and hiking our
beautiful hills and trails.
