Kari represented me on both the sale of my existing home as well as the purchase of the new home, and she did an AMAZING job! On the sale of my existing home Kari took the time and expended the effort to go above and beyond by giving me suggestions for preparing my house. By the way, she has some real designer skills. I implemented all of her design suggestions, and I have to say the home looked great for presentation to buyers. Kari listed the home on a Thursday, and by 5pm Friday I had 3 offers with 4 others that were interested. One offer was at list and the other 2 offers were well above list. Frankly, I believe that her ideas to prep the home were integral in the value of the offers. In the end, the house sold for the highest value per square foot that the neighborhood I was in had ever had. In fact, this sale was in 2014, and it wasn't until this year (2016) that I noticed prices per sq. ft. in my old neighborhood had finally started reaching the value I sold mine for. Incredible!! In 2015 Kari assisted me in buying the home I am currently in. This home was a spec home that had just been sheet-rocked and had 4 more months to completion. My original thinking was that if I did not use a real estate agent that I could negotiate a better price with the builder - since they wouldn't have to pay an agent. However, I talked with Kari, and she assured me that would not be the case. Was a bit nervous and skeptical, but she went to talk with the builder and she negotiated the price of the house down $60k!!! I could not believe it!! Not only did Kari get me an incredible deal on the sale of my existing home, but she saved me a lot of money on the purchase of the new home. Did she get me the absolute best price on the sale of my existing home? Yes! Did she get me the absolute best price on the purchase of my new home? Yes! However, the best qualities that Kari possesses are: 1. Her desire to always do what is right for her clients. 2. She explains EVERYTHING about the processes of buying and selling to her clients. 3. Kari has a knowledge of her industry that is beyond any I've worked with previously. 4. She has extensive, real, knowledge of her markets. 5. Kari tells you what you need to know, and not what she thinks you want to know. Once you use Kari as your agent you will NEVER use anyone else again.
