Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
My 95 year old Dad and I hired Karen Brown last year to help sell their family home as they downsized into an assisted living facility. Karen immediately became a trusted friend and real estate expert who guided us through the process of selling both the home and some additional properties. My dad passed away before the house sold but he would be proud of the integrity and astute business acumen that Karen always exuded on his behalf. She went above and beyond everyday to do whatever it took to sell the house. Now that we have sold it, I have listed several other properties with Karen. I highly recommend Karen and her team as the most caring and dedicated real estate professionals I have ever had the pleasure to know.

Our experience with Karen Brown was a 5. We only had a limited time to look at properties since flying in from out of town, and she set the whole weekend aside for us. She contacted us via email beforehand to confirm the properties she had lined up to show us. After spending Saturday showing us those properties, she told us to go back to the hotel at night and look at any other properties we were interested in, and she would show them to us on Sunday. When we asked her to see one of the properties again that she had showed us on Saturday, she happily obliged, even showing us another empty property we were interested in on the spot. Viewing the two side by side helped us feel confident in our decision to go forward. Then when we put an offer in, she showed us the comps so we could put what we felt was a reasonable price in, along with her advice making it turnkey. We finally secured the place before leaving town on Monday, thrilled with the arrangement and the condo. She also suggested great places to eat, took us out for a cool drink, and showed us the town. Thanks for making buying such a pleasant experience! Gail and John

My wife and I were very fortunate to discover Karen Brown. She has an amazing understanding of the nuances and neighborhoods of Punta Gorda and was easily able to guide us to the homes and areas that fit our needs and price range. Karen's knowledge is extensive, her customer service & prompt follow up was fantastic, she is an absolute gem and a true real estate professional! Thanks Karen for making our buying experience so enjoyable & memorable. Joe & Janet Hertig

As a retired Engineer, I tend to over analyze and over research things. And, I did the same when trying to choose a Realtor. However, I finally came up with three potential candidates to market our home. Karen Brown was one of the three. And, to make a long story short, the other two talked themselves out of the job, while Karen Brown won the competition with honesty, politeness, market knowledge and genuine niceness. We followed her advice on how to make our home more attractive to potential buyers and were very pleased with the end result. She also helped us find our new home which we are very happy with also. Thank you, Karen, for a job well done!

The Michael Saunders' team was excellent. From the time we were put in contact with Karen, as we lived out of state, she worked with our schedule to show us properties and to understand our requirements. We received emails with listings that became available in the various neighborhoods that interested us. Once we found the house in which we were interested, Karen prepared our offer and negotiated the deal for us, arranged for the inspection and the final walk through; all the while corresponding with us and keeping us informed of any progress. She made everything easy and the settlement went off without a problem. Thank you Karen!

Bar NONE ...Upon first meeting....Karen is a refreshing representation of how a Real Estate partnership - (agent/seller) should be. She is enthused about her career and very knowledgeable about her market and that transcends into enthusiasm and experience for her customer. Selling and buying real estate can be an emotional process and Karen puts you at ease with her kind demeanor and positive attitude. We are anxious to get our property in her capable hands, to begin our journey to a sale of our home. She represents one of the most respected Real Estate companies in the country and with its far-reaching marketing we are very hopeful we will see a sale. Thank you, Karen, we look forward to working with you.

Karen helped us find our retirement home in Port Charlotte. We were searching from long distance and would come to Florida for short 2 or 3 day jaunts during which she would show us a bunch of houses each time. She was very organized and knowledgeable about the areas we were interested in. She gave opinions when asked but never pressured us to make an offer on a house we didn’t love. She bore with us when we made offers on 2different houses which were rejected and then helped us find the house which we ended up purchasing. As usually happens, the waiting and disappointment were worth it since we love the house we ended up with most of all. We paid more than we wanted to, but Karen didn’t pressure us into that. We just got a dose of reality the longer we looked at houses. (A typical problem once you start looking at homes listed for above your top price.). Karen was very responsive to all of our inquiries and so patient with our indecisiveness. She seemed to be available practically 24/7 by text. And she devoted entire days to the hunt when we were able to fly down. In fact when the house we did end up buying came on the market, she previewed it for us and send a huge number of photos of the house and the neighborhood so we didn’t have to fly down just to see one home unless we were pretty sure we would like it. And we ended up buying it (after we saw it in person!) Karen gave us the name of several mortgage brokers and insurance agents. She helped us figure out what the tax burden would be if we didn’t have the homestead credit. She recommended home inspectors. All of these seemed like quality people/agencies. Since we needed to close from long distance, she handled getting our keys and gave suggestions for people to tend to the place while we are away. She left a very lovely gift in the house for us to find when we first got here. Yes, we can recommend Karen to anyone looking to buy a house. I would assume she is just as reliable as a seller’s agent.
