Karen grew up in Granite Bay and now lives in the Serrano Community in El Dorado Hills. Her interest in real estate started early when she took her first real estate class at 18 years of age. Her background in residential development and management helped make her transition to the real estate industry a seamless one. She started her career as Vice President of real estate development company, overseeing their new home sales division, interior design center, and property management division and contributing to the land acquisition and product development teams. She has since worked extensively with sellers, buyers and investors.

When she isn’t working Karen spends time with her family and their four rescue dogs. Together they enjoy the outdoors and the abundance of walking trails in El Dorado Hills and nearby Tahoe. She is actively involved in giving back to the community through a variety of charities, with 3 Strands Global, an El Dorado Hills based anti-human trafficking organization, being her primary focus.

It seems to me that so many Real Estate Agents today are flying by the seat of their pants associating themselves with small independent brokerages in an effort to avoid higher National Franchise broker commission splits. In a highly regulated California real estate environment, it’s possible that if an agent stubs their toe, it could trigger a major lawsuit that could involve the seller and the broker. My clients have the backing of the number one real estate franchise in the world! RE/MAX.
