"When I decided to sell my home, I contacted Karen as she is a well-known expert in my neighborhood. I know a lot of other realtors, but I knew I wanted to hire her because she has superior marketing/advertising tactics and is an expert at understanding the constantly changing housing market. Prior to putting my home up for sale, I unfortunately had a bathroom flood. Once the repair was completed, Karen helped me with my tedious remodel and she was there for me every time I had a question. During this entire process Karen and Nicole always took the time and effort to guide me with their open line of communication, comprehensive timelines, and thorough explanations on any questions I had. What I appreciated most was their calmness and level headedness since this was a stressful time for me. They did whatever they could to make me feel secure and I couldn't have done it without them. My home was only on the market 11 days and we secured a really great cash buyer with a 10 day closing. They are truly the experts you can count on!" – NUHA C.


"We've known Karen for 12 years and we've bought and sold several homes with her. This year Karen and Nicole helped us sell our home in Del Mar Mesa and assisted with the purchase of our amazing Rancho Santa Fe estate which would be our 6th real estate transaction together. Our family could not be more pleased with the amount of strategic and helpful support, proficiency and attention to details that were provided by them. There was no stone left unturned as they had patience and persistence in tackling negotiations, along with the ability to come up with innovative solutions to any challenges. Karen and Nicole went above and beyond for us and we are so appreciative of everything that they've done for us!" – BILL AND ALLISON S.

"When I decided to sell my investment property, I interviewed five different realtors. Out of the five realtors I was blown away by the presentation, Sotheby's, marketing, and creative home selling strategies that Nicole provided to me. I felt we were immediately on the same page and I hired them on the spot. I gained a lot of trust for Nicole and Karen as we created a strategy in order to get my property sold with my goals in mind. My work requires me to travel often and I needed them to handle all the minor details necessary to prepare my unit for sale. During this entire process they were completely hands on from working with my property manager, corresponding with the stagers, accompanying the showings, negotiated all offers and always kept me up to date on everything. With their expertise they were able to get me multiple offers and over my asking price! I could not be happier with my outcome. If you need a realtor to get you great results, Karen and Nicole are the ones to call." – LAWRENCE B.

"I am an out of state seller and I finally decided to put my rental property on the market. Since I reside in Hawaii, I had not seen the property in over ten years and wasn't physically able to be present during the selling process. I was extremely impressed how Karen and Nicole handled everything on my behalf. They met vendors at the property for appointments and handled every single detail that was needed in order to get my home sold. Their communication throughout this process was superb. They were always reachable (even with our three hour time difference). Whether you live in "San Diego or out of state, Karen and Nicole will get the job done for you!" – SUSAN S.

"We received Karen's just sold postcard as she sold one of our neighbor's homes. That neighbor had their property on the market for over 4 months and it never sold with the previous broker. When Karen became the new Realtor, we saw she sold it immediately and that's why we contacted her to sell our home. Our home had also been on the market previously with another broker and never sold. Karen gave us her professional advice as we wanted to explore some remodeling options. She had a great contractor recommendation who did a wonderful job with our remodel. The buyer walked into Karen's open house the first weekend we had it on the market, and she became the new owner of our home! We appreciated Karen's guidance, expertise and all of the marketing exposure that was done in order to get our home sold quickly and we couldn't be happier with our outcome." –
OSAMU AND FUMIKO M.

"Karen is a highly trusted Realtor to call if you want to get your home sold! We have bought and sold several homes with Karen and we could not be more pleased with the amount of support, proficiency and attentiveness to details that were provided to us. With her expertise, we received $150,000 over our asking price and our home was only on the market for five days! We couldn't believe it and are very grateful. If you need a Realtor you can trust, Karen and her team are the best to partner with!" – BOB AND ROBIN R. (2 PURCHASES AND 2 SALES)

"We cannot recommend Karen highly enough. While we had a glowing referral from a close friend, and thus expected great service, she managed to exceed all our expectations. Her advice on
preparation, her market knowledge, and her leadership through the process were spot on. We not only received over 20 offers within just a few days of listing our home, but eventually accepted an
offer $115,000 over our initial listing price. Her attention to detail, work ethic and wonderful personality make her a dream to work with. We're sure there are other good realtors out there, we just can't imagine any would be as fabulous as Karen." – KEN C.

"Our home was listed with another Broker for over 100 days and it never sold. We ended up calling Karen as we knew that she was the La Jolla expert and wanted to get her professional advice to re-list and sell our home. I'm glad we made this decision because 17 days later we received two offers, and we went under contract. We appreciated the attentiveness, well-thought out strategies and great communication throughout this entire transaction from beginning to end. If you need an experienced agent to sell your home, Karen is the agent to call!" – SANJIV E.

"We have worked with Karen on multiple transactions over the years and so have other members of our family. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone! Karen and her team were consistently exposing our property until it sold. At the same time she helped us with buying another home that had TWELVE other offers. With her great negotiation skills, strategic problem solving and 30+ years of real estate expertise we are very grateful that she made this happen for our family!" – MIKE AND LAURA H. (1 PURCHASE & 3 SALES)

"My husband and I recently used Karen both as a buyer's broker and a seller's broker. Not only is she the consummate professional, as detailed in many of the reviews here, but she is extremely resourceful, as well. She has a thorough understanding of all aspects of buying and selling a home and, equally important, knows how to get the job done! She will leave no stone unturned when researching or resolving the specifics of each transaction. We have never used a realtor with such careful attention to detail, patience and persistence in tackling difficult negotiations, and ability to come up with innovative solutions to problems. In addition, her team offered fantastic support throughout the process, which was certainly a bonus. – LINDA K. (1 PURCHASE & 1 SALE)

"In the past four years I have worked with Karen on three real estate transactions. I trust her implicitly and she is an expert at what she does. I know that every transaction will be handled perfectly because she actually cares about her work and hard work never scares her. I guarantee success to anyone who works with Karen!" – BOB R. (3 PURCHASES & SALES)

"Karen was extremely helpful in the sale of my townhome and purchase of my new home. She insured that my needs were met and that I got the home I wanted." – STEVE L. (6 PURCHASES & SALES)
