you need a guide, not a pushy salesperson
You shouldn’t have to feel like you are just one of many sales to your realtor, feeling pressured into decisions that aren’t right for you or feeling like your concerns and expectations aren’t being understood by your agent.
Any realtor can show homes, help you with paperwork and get you to your closing, but it can often feel like a flat and impersonal transaction. You need an advocate and guide who cares about your best interests and goals and not a pushy salesperson driven by commissions.

kind words from buyers and sellers
“We loved working with Karissa! She was very flexible with our quick timeline as we decided to sell and look for a home very quickly. Despite the fast pace she was able to guide us through everything and made the process smooth – including pricing and staging our home to help us get top-dollar during what was a very chaotic beginning to the Covid-19 outbreak.
All the personal touches were super thoughtful and we felt in good hands all the way through our quick closing date. She always made the extra effort to make sure we felt heard and never felt pressured. We would absolutely recommend her to our friends and family knowing that she genuinely cares and wants to find her clients a home that’s right for them”
Alex and Charissa
“We came to Karissa as first-timers with no real idea of what to expect; we just knew we wanted a fixer and a fireplace. Karissa met us for coffee and did a great job of walking us through the beginning steps of the home buying process.
She was kind and extremely patient with all our questions. We always felt like Karissa had our best interests in mind, and we didn’t feel pressured to move faster than we wanted. We sincerely appreciate everything Karissa did for us and we couldn’t recommend her enough!”
Sarah and Kevin
“Karissa was fantastic to work with! After our first meeting I could really tell she was knowledgeable in the field and had a shared passion in finding the right house for her clients to turn into a home.
She had a history of being with clients for the long game in this competitive market and I could tell her number one goal was our satisfaction in the purchase of a home, not just getting us a house as fast as possible and being done with us. She really put a lot of care in working to make sure we stayed comfortably in our budget and search parameters. Karissa gently coached us in a fast-paced market and gave us ideas on how we could make our offers more competitive without straying from our goals.
If we ever need to buy a new home, I would 100% work with Karissa again. We couldn't be happier with our home and the whole process down to the super thoughtful gift basket for a new homeowner were really more than we expected."
