Karen was excellent to work with! As a first time homebuyer, she took a lot of the stress out of the situation. She explained the process from start to finish very well and gave us realistic expectations in a competitive market. She was very attentive, sending us houses that matched our wants and needs within our budget, and made times for showings at a moments notice! When we finally landed on our house, she was very competitive in our negotiations and got us a great deal for the home. We are absolutely loving the house, and she has also recommended quite a few contractors for improving the house that have been awesome. I highly recommend choosing Karen as your agent!

I bought a house that I love from Karen but I would not recommend her. Being her client from Out-of-state was a challenge, and it showed when she wouldnt show me specific houses I was interested in. I made the time to come to Cincinnati and expected to spend most of the day looking at perspective houses. She would not give me that same respectful time, once she even sent her husband to show me a house because she aEURoecouldnt be botheredaEUR?. She was very disappointing. Being a first time home-buyer I felt that I was constantly being put down and not worth her time. If you are seeking a dedicated agent I would not recommend her. Another reason I giving her such a low rating is because she would only show me houses in a certain section of Cincinnati and refused to budge from those locations, I found out later from her that she had rental properties in those areas. THOSE SAME AREAS SHE WAS PUSHING ME TO OVER BID ON. Yes, she convinced me that I had to over bid up to $20,000 over asking price in order to get the house. I found that extremely strange. What kind of realtor says you need to over bid and then says they own rental properties in the area? It seems like she only wanted clients to offer over the asking price to help raise property value where she owned. I found it EXTREMELY unethical. I did buy a house from her, but I wish I had bought my first home with someone I trusted. When it came to negotiation on my house she made it clear she wasnt on my side because her friend was selling the property. Please be careful. Interview your realtors and make sure they are on your side, because Karen probably isnt. On that note I will say that I do like my house, but I also wonder what could have been... and I dont want anyone else to feel that way.

Karen has been a pleasure to work with since the first minute I met her. She is always courteous and thoughtful and doing more than expected. I recommend her for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Karen helped us through every step of our real estate transaction with expert advice and guidance, making the whole process very easy and manageable. Karen especially helped us with selecting sub-contractors for repairs and with getting the maximum value from the property sale. I would highly recommend Karen for anyone looking to buy or sell in Cincinnati - she's the best!

Karen put a lot of effort and time into finding a condo that was just right for me. I was unsure of where in the city I wanted to live. She really helped me by showing me condos all over town. I could not have asked for more. And then after we found what I was looking for she was able to sell my house in less than a day. Closing was breeze. She kept me informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a new home or looking to sell a home. Shes a try professional!

Karen is a genuinely kind and helpful person. She listened closely to the details of our dream home. She used all of the resources at her disposal to find us home we'd like to look at. After looking at only 3 houses, she had found us our new house! She quickly submitted our offer and it was accepted in 2 hours! She helped us with all of the necessary paperwork, inspections, and repairs. She is easily accessible and quick to respond to inquiries. We will definitely contact her again if we decide to look for a different house!

Karen made the process of buying a home easy. She came back with quick responses and definitely made it known that she was in my corner. This was my first home purchase and I feel the process would have been very uneasy if it wasn't for her help. She did an excellent job and got my family into the house they wanted for a great price.

Karen was there for us from the beginning to the end. She has an extensive knowledge of the market area, great negotiation skills and really great to work with. She even checks in with us to see how we are doing way after closing. That speaks volumes of her. I would recommend Karen to family, friends and anyone else looking for an excellent realtor to work with. You will not be disappointed.
