Karen brings her own unique benefits to buyers and sellers from the field of education. Having been a teacher for over 10 years, Karen makes great efforts to make sure clients have the knowledge about the market, and the understanding they need to make the best possible decisions in the real estate transaction. "Being a teacher at heart, I am always working to keep myself educated as well, about the market and about the business of real estate."

Because Chris and Karen see themselves as customer service experts first, they are committed to helping their clients achieve their goals, to making their clients´ priorities their own. Maybe that's why over 80% of their business comes from referrals.

"Our passion is to understand your family's hopes, dreams, goals and ambitions, thereby allowing us to assist you in finding the right home in the right neighborhood at the right price."
