We loved working with Karen! She was very knowledgeable about small details of every house we looked at. Her vast experience of real estate and improvements she has made to her own house helped guide our decision making. Not only did she know a lot, but her personality made the buying process enjoyable! We were first time home buyers and had a lot of questions. She was always quick to respond to every phone call and text. Loved having her in our corner! Already recommending her to all of our friends who are thinking about buying a home!

Karen was very attentive and accessible. I really appreciate how knowledgeable, friendly and accomodating she was. I also appreciated her consistent communication.
Karen was terrific in helping my mom and I find the perfect condo. Her pleasant demeanor and attention to detail were two of the attributes we found most appealing. Buying a condo or a house can be a bit complicated and we recommend Karen very strongly for those who are looking for a helping hand and a nice smile.
Karen was wonderful to work with! A true professional with extensive knowledge of the local housing market. Karen was very responsive and communicated updates throughout the process of selling our home.

Nice, friendly agent. Definitely referring to family and friends.
Karen kept us informed though out the selling process and gave helpful feed back about preparing house for sale,
Karen is very professional and a great communicator! She’s extremely knowledgeable about construction quality & market conditions. She helped us every step of the way during our out of state purchase. It was a pleasure working with her.
Karen was fantastic. We had a difficult sale, by a buyer who had difficulty finding a solid purchaser for their home. We are moving out of State and were under a time crunch to get things moving in a timely manner. She kept working with us to give us good advice along the way. She more than earned the commission on our sale.
She was fantastic. Very knowledgeable on many aspects of home buying. We will be using her again when ever we decide to move. Made us feel at ease with the whole process of home buying. A+ service and would recommend to anyone.

Karen helped us tremendously in purchasing our first home in 2015 so naturally, we reached out to her to sell it. She came out and took pictures and listed it quick and even offered suggestions on pricing. We received offers, sold, and closed within 60 days and it was great! She made the selling process very smooth and easy. I am sure I will contact her again and will definitely recommend her to anyone else without hesitation.
We loved working with her. She was 100% easy to work with. Also, always answered my texts promptly. When the home we are moving out of is ready to go on the market, it will be listed by Karen.
I have worked with Karen Nelson several times and each time has been very smooth and very pleasant. She’s very hard-working and she doesn’t stop until you get what you want.

We had worked with several different realtors in trying to sell our home over the past few years. When we met Karen, we knew she would be the one to sell it. She definitely knew the local market. Her marketing was top notch and she brought in a professional photographer for the pictures when she felt her photography skills would not do it justice. She kept us well informed through the process and was very professional.
Karen is wonderful! This is the 2nd home that Karen has sold for me! No one works harder than she does and always goes above and beyond!

Wow Karen was awesome! She kept me well informed and was there helping us look at so many houses until we found what we wanted. She didn't stop there. Karen recommended a home inspector she has used for over 20 years. Then recommended we get the house tested for Radon which came back positive so the seller had it fixed. She also recommended the Radon inspector. We also used a Mortgage lender she recommended and got a .5 better rate than Chase bank. We needed a little HVAC work done and you guessed it she has an HVAC person for us. She has contacts for just about anything that would come up. I highly recommend Karen Nelson she truly is the Best! She was there for us every step of the way through the walk through and the closing of the house.

Karen was amazing ! We became clients by chance, and she never stopped working for us. Even after the close of our home, Karen was checking up on our purchase. She was attentive, extremely knowledgeable about real estate, contract work, the selling/buying process and everything in between. She always made herself available and would answer texts and calls right away. I can say she made the stressful process of buying a home much easier. I can’t recommend her enough!!
Karen asked what type of home I was looking for and offered me several options. Once I chose my home Karen was indispensable in my negotiations with the seller. She was also very responsive to my requests for multiple visits to the home I ultimately purchased.

Karen is very professional, personable and knowledgeable about all aspects of the real estate business. Her evaluation of the property was spot on and the number of showings we had in the first four days exceeded our expectations. Even after the contract was accepted, Karen continued to be in contact and kept us apprised of everything going on all the way through to the closing. We couldn't be more pleased with Karen.

Karen was wonderful. Hard working, accommodating, sincere. I can't say enough good things about her. We are so glad we had her as our agent. I will refer her to all I know who are looking to buy or sell their homes. She's the best.....20 star rating!!
This was not an easy sale. I'm divorced and have been for 13 years. My ex and son lived in the house for those 13 years. Needless to say, my son who turned 20 and is moving on, I couldn't keep paying the mortgage. We had an initial broker who came-in but no long after taking the listing, realized that this was not going to be easy. When she dropped the listing we needed to find someone quickly who could handle the frustration of scheduling showings. A house with 20 years of cigarrette smoke, poor curb appeal and two people who have a difficult time communicating. That being said, we had over twenty five showings but one or another of the mentioned roadblocks kept it from going to the next level. With Karen's pursistance and no quit attitude, we got as much as the market would offer for... Show More

Karen is a very professional & experienced realtor, She made buying a home seamless by keeping me up to date & informed throughout the process. Karen's knowledge of the housing market and her dedication to her clients made an impression. She is also very informative & helpful in the negotiating process and had my best interests in mind above all else including her own, Unlike other Agent's I have dealt with that just want to sell you a house so they can get paid, Karen want's to help you through the whole process to find you a HOME,
All i can say is if your not using Karen Nelson for all your realty need's then your not getting what your realty need's
