Kara is such a professional! Experienced, honest, kind, a great negotiator, and really passionate about what she does. She helped us so much with buying our new home in Berkeley - we absolutely loved this house, but thought it was out of reach. Kara was always available, gave great advice on market conditions, strategy and financial matters. She knew when to step back and when to push forward and understood exactly what we were looking for from the start. She is very knowledgeable and guided us through all the closing paperwork and made some great recommendations. Such a great experience - we will always be so grateful to Kara!

We interviewed lots of agents before choosing Kara to represent us in a tough market. We are very picky with what and who we do business with, and Kara came through with patience and diligence to find us our perfect home. Then her skills in negotiating and follow-through and being able to compete with multiple other offers to get us our dream home - well, I really can't say enough about her. We highly recommend Kara for any buyer or seller. There are lots of choices out there, but she's the obvious choice!

Kara has been an absolute lifesaver. This is my first time buying a home, and Kara walked me through every step, every assessment, every document, and detour. I had no idea how complex this process was before I started it, and I honestly could not have done any of it without Kara and all of her hard work and amazing referrals. She made herself available day and night, at all of the odd hours I was available, and made buying my first home a dream come true! It's lovely to work with someone who has such a passion for their business and all of the skills to 'get it done!' And done it (almost) is. I close on the sale next week.

My husband and I worked with Kara to purchase our first home together in Berkeley. The Bay Area real estate market can be daunting, and we so appreciated Kara's confident and knowledgeable guidance through the process. She was flexible and accommodating while we explored neighborhoods and provided many helpful insights along the way. With her expertise and skills in negotiation, we were able to get the first house we bid on after a competitive bidding process. Thank you to Kara for helping us get the home of our dreams (and for all the fresh veggies from her garden along the way)!

Kara was our agent on a home sale in Berkeley. She saw us through every stage of the process, from remodeling the home to readying it for sale, advising us on pricing, meeting with various vendors to help ready the property for sale, marketing, and helping us through dealing with challenging buyers. She is a great communicator, responding quickly to our correspondence and talking frequently with buyers' agents when needed. She has a great can-do attitude and went above and beyond to secure the sale of our home.

Our family has been working with Kara for almost 2 years. Kara has been a steady, understanding, flexible and enthusiastic partner in our search. Of course, it's a challenge to purchase a home. We've been on the ball and were beaten to the punch dozens of times, and were beaten by cash offers and short closing dates. We were starting to think that it just wasn't in the cards for us. Kara kept our spirits up and ensured that we were up to date with the latest properties that might fit our needs. She shared her insights, experiences and learning from many years as a realtor. She listened to us as our understanding of our own requirements became clearer and more evolved during the process. Our family is based both in the Bay Area and also back east, so she's had to manage communications across the country. I can happily report that, thanks to Kara, we finally were able to purchase a home in late May. Her persistence and assertiveness in working on our behalf helped us close the deal. I can wholeheartedly recommend Kara to anyone looking for an authentic real estate professional. I'm not an avid reviewer, but felt compelled to share our high regard for Kara. Thanks!

Kara is a dream to work with! She is very professional, knowledgeable, and an effective communicator. She and her team did a stellar job in renovating, staging, and selling my home. As a first-time seller, I was quite nervous. Her calm demeanor and confidence made me relax and trust the process. And I'm so happy I did. We ended up getting 4 offers over asking within a week and sold the house for $245K over asking within 10 days. I am so grateful and highly recommend her!

Kara is amazing. She was by far and away the most knowledgeable realtor we worked with. We chatted with around 4-5 different realtors before settling on Kara, and she never ceased to impress us with her deep knowledge of Oakland and Berkeley. We were looking at some fixer uppers at times and she was able to give approximate costs of renovations and connections she has to local teams that would be able to jump in quickly to help with such changes. She also seemed to personally know most of the listing agents in the area, which was very helpful when getting intel on offers. I think the best part of working with Kara is her deep commitment to transparency and integrity through the process. I would recommend Kara as your real estate agent, and we will certainly be using her again when we are looking to sell and buy again in the East Bay!

My wife and I worked closely with Kara and her team over the past few months during the preparation and sale of our home. She was always super responsive and practical in her suggestions and decision-making. Thank you, Kara!

Kara is a real professional. She likes what she does, and she is good at it. She eased me through the stress of selling my home this past spring. Very helpful, market savvy, and a cool problem solver. Kara was supportive every step of the way from the initial “should I sell? and what’s involved? Type questions for the successful close.
