Whether it’s inputting property searches for Buyers, doing home valuation reports for Sellers, putting together the marketing package for listings, getting questions answered, making sure dates and deadlines are met, and handling all of the paperwork, Karen is behind the scenes making things happen.
Karen fell in love with Boulder when vetting various colleges. “I was driving up Highway 36 on my way to check out the University of Colorado in Boulder and saw the overlook above the Boulder Valley. It was love at first sight.” 25+ years later, she couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.
Getting into the industry was a natural progression in Karen’s career. Her real estate savvy father instilled in her a strong appreciation and respect for the value of real estate. Each transaction strengthens her dedication to helping their clients have the best experiences with buying and selling real estate.
Starting out after college as a flight attendant, advertising account executive, and manager for John’s business consulting company, Karen, has partnered up again with John in their Real Estate Business. They caught the fix and flip and investment property bug in the early 90‘s. They enjoy the satisfaction of finding houses in great locations that are in need of a little TLC and using their creativity to transform them into a place to call home. They decided they should be sharing their knowledge and real estate expertise with others and began helping clients to Buy and Sell their homes, do fix and flips, and buy investment properties. Once word was out, their business began to bloom.
