What clients say about this agent....
Karina is the ultimate in a real estate professional. She is deeply knowledgeable, professional in her demeanor, prompt and eager to work with you to complete these complex and legal transactions. She is friendly and supportive and on top of all the various details that swirl around real estate paperwork. I would encourage any one seeking real estate help to seek her out. We will use her again.
Karina and her team at Beltran and Associates Realty are wonderful to work with and I could not recommend them more! They are absolute professionals when it comes to their job and are so helpful and communicative. When I was looking for properties to rent, Carter made time in his schedule to show us a unit we were interested in, provided us a list of other properties in the area that were within our price range, and readily answered all our questions. We had to end our lease a few months early, due to a new job and moving to a different state, and Karina was diligent on ensuring that this could happen. She went above and beyond on a such a short notice and worked in the final walk-through viewing within her busy schedule. She gave us frequent updates on the process, and it was so appreciated. If you are thinking of buying, renting, or selling within the NoVA area, please consider working with Karina and Beltran and Associates Realty. They are so kind and honest about the properties, and you would be in great hands with them. Thank you for all your help, Karina and team!
TLDR; 5 stars all around. First time home buyer. I got the exact house I wanted on the first offer I put in during this crazy competitive market. Karina knows how to win and gets you exactly what you want.Karina was recommended to me by my brother who bought a house with her back in 2017. As a first time home buyer I had no idea where to begin and knew next to nothing about real estate. From the get go, Karina was super helpful and continued to be a wealth of knowledge during my experience. She was extremely patient with me as she broke down the process, contract terms, what to expect when putting an offer; she literally spelled out every different scenario I could end up in. Not only did she demonstrate masterful knowledge in this industry, but she also shared all the advice she had to me as a first time buyer and provided guidance as to which neighborhoods I would be the happiest and feel the safest being a young, single woman. Karina was honest with me during the entire house hunting process and steered me away from properties that would be a headache to maintain alone. When we found my perfect starter home, Karina once again shared her advice in terms of submitting an offer. She shared her strategies of winning offers, but never once did I feel pressured when writing up the offer. She ultimately leaves the final terms up to you, but I HIGHLY recommend taking her advice if you want the house!!! Her expertise and finesse in real estate is the finest in the game. Further, when you think of real estate agents, you tend to think of a transactional relationship. That is not the case with Karina. She will become a lifetime friend and confidante, which to me is more valuable than purchasing a home. Again, 5 stars in every single department. She made the process so fun and easy I wish I was ready to buy another home with her!
My partner and I have had the pleasure of working with Beltran and Associates for the past year. In 2021, we leased a property they manage and we are continually impressed by their responsiveness and dedication to providing an incredible management experience.We recently started searching for our first home and they have gone above and beyond to show us the very best homes the market has to offer. As nervous first-time homebuyers, Emelia, Karina, and Carter have given us the best tools to find our first home and have given us a great deal of confidence going into closing. Their knowledge of the market and ambition is incredible and we couldn't ask for a better team on our side.
Karina and the overall service of Beltran and Associates has been nothing short of exceptional. It has been my pleasure to work with Karina and the team for over ten years through the buying, rental management and eventual sale of a condo rental property in Arlington. In all cases, her work has exceeded every expectation. Whether it be dealing with a tenant issue, providing counsel on unit maintenance and upgrades or defining a sales strategy, Karinas approach is always fast and insightful. She also has a depth of knowledge on the Northern Virginia area that is unmatched enabling quick searches and targeted approaches based on unique area factors.During the process of selling my unit, she delivered a list of targeted upgrades to maximizing appeal while minimizing investment. She also went above and beyond to coordinate the work and ensure it was carried out to her exacting standards. She always has the best interest of her client in mind and relentlessly advocates for what is right, even when that means working late into the night or over weekends and holidays. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Karina and the team over the past decade as they deliver flawless end-to-end service that truly puts the client first.
I previously knew Karina but this was the first time she has been my familys agent. We asked her to sell my mothers (older) home in McLean. Karina was extremely knowledgeable, flexible and responsive throughout the process, which was longer due to our familys needs. She also helped with some little things and one-off questions that were not always directly related to the transaction. I could always count on Karina to give me her professional judgment but she understood it was our decision ultimately. Ive lived in this area for 35 years and used many agents for multiple transactions, not all of whom were good. Next time I know whom to call. Thank you, Karina.
This is my second home purchase and have dealt with 5 different agents in my time. Karina is the most knoweldeable agent I have ever met. She is honest, professional and will land you in your dream home. I trust her words and will be using her for any future purchsaes. I recommend her to any and all serious buyers.
Karina is an experienced professional with deep knowledge of the area. You can count on her to be on top of the details and to respond quickly. That's a huge plus when you're buying a home!
Karina is a superb agent who works extremely hard on behalf of her clients. We have purchased and sold several homes through Karina over the years. As sellers, she has always gotten us top dollar for our properties, and as buyers her expertise has helped us beat multiple competing offers time and time again. Highly knowledgeable, competitive and the simply the best in Northern Virginia.
Karina is a gem -- she helped us manage an estate sale after an extremely difficult time, and was compassionate, understanding, and incredibly thorough. I really appreciated her help throughout the entire process, and her overall kindness and professionalism. Highly recommended!
