Karen sold me a home in 2017 and sold my home in 2020. This is the letter I wrote to Karen
Dear Karen,
I want to congratulate you on the excellent job you’ve done in selling the Greenridge home to me in 2017 and selling it for me in 2020. I’ve been critical of consultants, agents, and attorneys that I’ve hired in the past, but I can’t find a single negative thing to say about the job you’ve done. I’ve bought and sold five homes in my lifetime. By far, you’ve been the most professional agent with whom I’ve worked. You’ve provided great advice, really looked out for my interests, and you were detailed oriented, catching things that I would never have caught. I know it’s your job, but the extent in which you went into detail really came as a surprise for me. You were less focused on what’s in it for you and more focused on making sure I was satisfied. You even got more for me than I asked. I’ve never seen that before an agent. Just incredible. Feel free to use me as a reference with your future clients. they are free to call me, and I will explain why you should be their agent.
Karen is the most knowledgeable and thorough real estate agent in the greater Jacksonville area. She helped us find the perfect home and is extremely diligent in searching for a home that had exactly what we were looking for. She was such a pleasure to work with!
Karen was fantastic to work with! She is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market in the Jacksonville and St. Augustine area. From the very beginning she and teammate Robert worked together to define what we wanted in a home. After selecting a model home in St. Augustine, Karen went over the architecture of the builder’s contract, paying close attention for our best interests and citing some not-so-obvious discrepancies. With us living out of state, Karen and Robert took care of everything for us. She stayed on top of our deal keeping us informed at every step until closing. Knowing that our interests were being cared for allowed us to enjoy the home buying process more. It was a pleasure to work with Karen. We highly recommend her.
