Here are a few testimonials Karen has received from her clients:

"Karen has been our real estate agent for many years. Her knowledge of various markets, attention to detail and absolute transparency have been a few key reasons we continue to use her as our trusted advisor. Recently, we moved from the United Kingdom back to the United States. Not only did Karen act on our behalf as we were transitioning, but went above and beyond her job to help us secure our new home. I recommend Karen as a resource if you are looking to relocate or purchase private or commercial real-estate."

- Chad C., V.P, Global Marketing at Baker Hughes

"You could not have been more knowledgeable about fulfilling our housing needs and more accommodating at helping us get into the perfect home. It was a real pleasure to work with someone whose primary interest was to find us what we wanted, rather than trying to get us into something that was easy for you. We really appreciated your help in navigating the myriad of paperwork needed to close the deal within our short time frame. Thank you for being the consummate professional."

- Alvaro C., Integrity Engineer

"Karen, has helped me with all my real estate needs for the last 5 years. From buying my family home to buying rental properties for me and my General Partnership. She always goes above and beyond, proactively working with potential sellers and tenants diligently. Very resourceful to deal with any issues with tenants, sellers, or during closings with Title Companies, Insurance companies, HOA, you name it. Highly Recommended. Karen is very profesional and her work ethics is impeccable."

- Hernan R., Engineer at ConocoPhillips

"I have been working with Karen for more than 12 years as a buyer, seller, and landlord. Very satisfied with her services and expertise."

I have lived, worked and raised my daughter in Sugar Land. I attended FBISD schools throughout middle school and high school. I also worked for FBISD for over 25 years, first as a teacher then as a high school counselor. I am a wife, a mom and an owner of a beautiful Labrador Retriever. I am an animal lover and would own multiple dogs if I could! I love to hike and experience the outdoors, but I also love curling up with a good book or watching my favorite football and baseball teams. I enjoy getting to know my clients and find joy helping them sell or purchase a home. Witnessing and being a part of the tremendous growth and change that Fort Bend and Houston has experienced has been exciting! My experience in the Houston and surrounding areas will be of value in your real estate transactions!

I have been a licensed REALTOR® since 2017. Although I'm not a native Houstonian, I was born in Iran and have been living in Houston since 1997. My areas of specialization are Fort Bend and Harris County. I aim to build strong relationships based on honesty, integrity, and trust with my clients. Some of my strengths include being positive, social and honest. I believe in listening to my customers' needs, studying their requirements and understanding their unique situations. In terms of real estate, I am knowledgeable in residential properties and real estate investments, including homes, rental properties and land. Prior to becoming a REALTOR®, I worked as an accountant, which has helped me understand the financial aspects of real estate investing. I chose real estate as a career because I wanted the independence of being an independent contractor, the opportunity to interact with different people and the satisfaction of helping clients professionally. My educational Background is in accounting. I graduated from the University of Houston in 2010 and I have taken some MBA graduate courses. I am active on social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Additionally, I am fluent in Farsi. In my personal life, I have a wife who works as a senior biochemist for Halliburton, and I have two boys, 14 and 9 years old named Amir and Ryan. Spending time with my family is one of my hobbies. I am proud to have been recognized as one of the best sellers in my first month working at Gary Greene.
