Listed and sold a home • 2026

Huge shoutout to our amazing agent, Karen! She managed to get our house market-ready in record time while we were physically out of town—a feat we didn't think was possible. Her knowledge and expertise is truly impressive, and her hustle is the only reason we sold so quickly. Her attention to detail is refreshing, and her regular communication kept us at ease throughout the process. I also appreciated her realistic and practical perspective - she is also very honest and fair and will tell you what's what without setting unrealistic expectations. We’re actually bummed the process is over because she was such a joy to work with. I wish we had another house to sell so we could keep working with her! If you’re selling, just call Karen.

Karen did an amazing job helping me sell two properties over the past year: one lake-view home and one traditional suburban family home. She’s by far the most resourceful and effective real estate agent in Ithaca!

Listed and sold a home • Plain Ithaca, NY • 2025

Karen was friendly and knowledgeable, she explained the entire process to me, and she got an offer on the house almost immediately. I was selling the house from many hours away and was able to trust her and her team to manage everything. This was a relative's house and there were some old permit issues that she was able to coordinate and resolve since I was so far away. She kept me informed the entire time. I relied on her and she never let me down.

Helped me buy home • lake ithaca, NY • 2024

Karen is an absolute professional, going way above and beyond in support, guidance and just general management support of the process. I can't thank her enough not just for the work, but all the extras she has done to make the purchase a success. Even well after the close, Karen's knowledge and support has truly been exceptional. She is a strong advocate and a genuinely outstanding person (and a sense of humor to make it all feel fun).

Helped me buy home • garret ithaca, NY • 2024

Karen is, without a doubt, one of the best realtors we have ever worked with (and we have moved a lot!). From the very beginning, she was extremely personable, prompt and reliable. We were buying from out of state, and Karen listened so intently to everything we were looking for that our showings were tailored perfectly to us. This made our home buying process efficient and stress-free, which was a huge relief when trying to sell another house and move across the country. Something unique we noted about Karen as a realtor was her deep understanding of how homes are constructed - this was invaluable because she could point things out to us that we would not have otherwise thought of (surely saving us a lot of money down the road). Our positive experience with her is a testament to her years of realty experience and excellent reputation locally here in the community. We are very grateful to have worked with Karen and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to all our friends and family!

Karen was excellent to work with in our home buying process. We were moving from across the country and really relied on her expertise and understanding of the local market. Karen truly helped us navigate the nervousness of buying a home while selling one in a different state. We highly recommend working with her and her team!
