Karen has deep knowledge of the region and the local market. She listened carefully to our objectives and educated us on the market and neighborhoods. Karen also provided thoughtful advice on both the opportunities and challenges of the market. Ultimately, her excellent strategic advice enabled us to make a successful offer in a very competitive market. Karen is proactive and exhibited high integrity in how she guided us through the process. We highly recommend Karen.
Karen is an exceptional REALTOR®. She is diligent and detailed oriented and follows up on every item. She puts herself in her client's shoes and works totally in her client's best interest. As a buyer she helped bring to light problems with certain properties (some REALTORS® would prefer to avoid those) but Karen wants the buyer to know what issues might be around the corner. She really understands what things are important to you as a buyer and suggests a range of properties that may work. She is the most professional REALTOR® I've ever encountered I would highly recommend her. Her honesty, integrity and common sense combined with her high energy yet low key approach make her a pleasure to work with.
We met Karen at an open house and were drawn to her kind and energetic personality. Finding the right home in Carmel is a long process so enlisting Karen as our REALTOR® was the best decision we made. She demonstrated tremendous patience, high integrity and service orientation in every interaction in our 1+ year journey of finding the right home. When we closed on our house purchase, Karen continued to support us by promptly addressing all of our inquiries as a home owner in a new neighborhood. She is trustworthy, dependable, and detail-oriented and has proven to value client relationship over transaction. Karen is an invaluable resource and a REALTOR® we recommend wholeheartedly.
Walt and I really want to say thank you for all you have done to help get us into this amazing dream house. We are so glad that we chose you to work with us... You have given all the details in this transaction your full attention without a lapse anywhere and always stayed on top of (or ahead of) what was happening. Thank you!!!
...thank you for the excellent service and support you provided to us throughout this process. We felt well supported during both the search and offer process. Willie and I both thank you...and you can be sure that we will refer our friends to you!
Many thanks to you for all your efforts to sell our family home! I really appreciate your hard work, dedication, intuition, intelligence, approachability, and integrity. Thanks for always letting us know what needed to be done next. You made a difficult process go so much smoother than I expected!
Karen is an exceptionally talented and diligent real estate professional. She worked with us over an extended period of time until we found the right property. Her knowledge of the area and the local real estate market was critical in locating the home in a condition, neighborhood and surroundings we wanted. We consider Karen a good friend and would recommend her without hesitation.
We have bought and sold over 20 homes in various locations across the country, and I can truly say that we have finally met the best Broker!... Karen's tremendous attention to detail was flawless! This helped to keep anxiety levels to a minimum and made the process smooth and pleasurable for all parties. There was not a single thing that we would have done differently in retrospect.... We will definitely look forward to working with Karen in the future.
Purchasing a home is a daunting ordeal and Karen made it seem uncomplicated. She is extremely professional, personable, and patient. Karen is detail oriented, has excellent knowledge of the local market, and high-caliber negotiating skills. This was the seventh time we have bought a home and this has been by far the best real estate experience we have ever had. We would recommend Karen Katz to anyone buying or selling a home!
Karen Katz is one of the top Real Estate Agents I have worked with over the years. Karen comes through 110% in effort, strategy, kindness, integrity and super in personal relations. She is likeable and professional from start to finish as well as staying in touch after the transaction whether she is working to sell your property or to help you buy a property. She is dedicated to her clients and has your back making a stressful situation fun and interesting. As a client, we felt a high degree of confidence in Karen as a person and as an agent.
Tony and I are so grateful we met you in January 2022 as we were going through Open Houses in Carmel-by-the- Sea and Carmel Woods. It was a kismet acquaintance! You were so welcoming, knowledgeable, down to earth and engaging...we were comfortable in an instant. Thank you for staying in touch with us, even after our six week stay in Carmel ended.
Carmel-by-the- Sea has been our happy place long before we purchased our Guadalupe cottage in 2011. We never imagined that after we reluctantly sold this home in 2018, that four years later we would be purchasing it again! What a whale of a tale…a once in a lifetime story. A story that brought us full circle, right back to the home we put our blood, sweat and tears into. The cottage we had cared for, remodeled and adored! Thank you for guiding us through the buying process and for the many hours you spent seeing the purchase to it's conclusion. You were always at the ready as we worked through the negotiations and contracts. Karen, you went above and beyond for us and together we made our dream home ours again!
We look forward to getting together with you as we settled into ~C Me By The C~ in the coming months. You are much more than our REALTOR® - you are a dear forever friend!
Karen Katz is a true professional. She has deep knowledge of the home buying and selling processes, she is local and knows the neighborhoods, and is a skillful negotiator. She is smart, capable and friendly. She moves things along quickly but does not come off as the typical pushy real estate agent. She supported our purchase during the stressful covid period. She proved unflappable! Working with Karen was like working with a friend. Someone you trust, enjoy being around and who truly cares about achieving the right outcome for her customer. And she follows through on EVERY detail, even past the sale! We'd be delighted to work with Karen again!
