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."

-Simon S., Credit Manager at Emerson Automation Solutions

The advantages of working with a real estate team besides the obvious seemingly unlimited access to an agent, is the efficiency of the organization of the team moving the transaction to closing and the idea that several real estate brains can be focused on buyer and seller solutions. Realtor teams offer access and a collaborative approach to the evaluation process for buyers and sellers, as well as the ability to leverage the experience and expertise of more than one real estate brain.  A team can bring a competitive advantage to a buy or sell transaction by simply having more resources to tap, more people, more ideas, more perspectives.  Every consumer has a personal preference, but if the collaborative process, an all access pass, depth of combined experience and real estate wisdom are on your must have list, a realtor team is who should represent you. A team can leverage the collective time and experience of its members, to more effectively deliver a full suite of services for buyers and sellers.  "When you go to the doctor, someone takes your vital signs, someone else may do the 'why are you here?' interview and then the doctor diagnoses and treats you," The Audra O'Neal Team analogizes.  With Buyer Specialists, Listing (or seller) Specialists and of course the "Rainmaker," teams may be able to offer a broader level of service and expertise than an individual agent. Consumers can benefit from the diversity of individual realtor team members experience in different geographic areas and technical savvy.  The meteoric rise of social media has had a significant impact on traditional real estate marketing and some agents are better at it than others, a team can share each other's strengths and fortify each other's weaknesses.
