dedicated professionals to make sure your listing receives the attention it deserves. With an average market time of 30 days for her listings to sell, Karmen maintains open lines of communication with her clients, encouraging contact when questions arise, and initiating contact weekly at minimum to report on activity and feedback from potential buyers. “One of the most important aspects of selling a home is to make it appealing for potential buyers,” Karmen said, sharing that she suggests sellers depersonalize their homes so buyers can envision themselves living there. “I tell my sellers that ‘Your buyer is coming today’ when they have a showing,” Karmen said. “Showings are an opportunity to showcase your home and all that it has to offer, and you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.” Karmen also offers extensive buyer services, including a complimentary consultation, customized property tours, daily property updates, assist with home loan prequalification, and is a top negotiator to ensure you are getting the best deal possible for your new home. Karmen is your local relocation specialist, with knowledge on local school districts, neighborhoods, and demographics. She has your best interests in mind, seeking out only the best homes that fit your unique needs, and is able to show interested buyers both new and existing homes in their target areas. Karmen welcomes the opportunity to be interviewed by prospective clients, and is happy to provide references of past clients for you to contact. Call today for a no-obligation free market analysis.

From the front lawn to the garage, she has your best interests in mind, and will work hard to ensure your listing is sold quickly and for a fair price.
