Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111
With a military and oil and gas family background, I have lived in 11 states throughout the US (CA, OR, AZ, NM, TX, KS, IL, MI, NJ, FL, and CO), and in two foreign countries (Venezuela and the UK). I personally know what moving a home with kids/pets, etc., means!
My background includes banking and mortgage lending, and management consulting. I’ve has been working to help people buy and sell their homes, at all price levels, selling over $100Million of homes since 2007, in the greater Denver area. I enjoy connecting with others through these life experiences.
One of my greatest strengths lies in my ability to help clients transition smoothly in their move, whether it be across town, across the country, or even overseas. I utilize cutting edge technologies and thrive on continuing education. I firmly believes that integrity, quality service, honesty, loyalty, and effective and quick communication are imperative to any successful business transaction, and I enjoy negotiating on behalf of my clients!
On a personal level, I am mom to four children, three recent engineering graduates from CU, The Colorado School of Mines, and Texas Tech Engineering, and one currently in college at The Colorado School of Mines. I enjoy indulging my intellectual curiosity of culture and architecture through travels abroad. I am a member of Junior League, and the Alliance of Professional Women, and volunteer with Junior Achievement, Habitat for Humanity, and various animal shelter/rescue projects. I am a certified mentor for new agents and truly enjoy this part of my business.
I have a VRBO home in AZ to which I go for occasional visits in the winter, to enjoy hiking year round. I am a sucker for saguaro cacti! I am an outdoor concert and mountain biking and kayaking enthusiast, and I enjoy cooking, wine making, travel, architecture, historical novels, and walks with my pug dogs.

Showed home in 2018 in Marston, Littleton, CO 80123.
Karen was a joy to deal with, we've been looking for over a year and were out of state. She went over and above what we asked of her and just closed on our home in Colorado.
She went an videoed the properties and gave her opinion of what we liked and didn't like, she was even working on nights, weekends and holidays. She was wonderful and I can't say enough good things about her.

Bought a single family home in 2017 for approximately $350K in Deermont, Littleton, CO 80127.
Karen had a very quick grasp on exactly what type of home I needed for my living situation. She helped me temper my expectations a bit with the financial reality of things, but always kept her home searches within the constraints I provided. And she was quick, amazingly quick to provide leads, to respond to inquiries, and to be available for a showing. She was also a skilled negotiator with the seller and represented me all the way. I never had a worry or care in the world, because I knew sooner or later Karen would find and fight for the home I needed. This lady knows her stuff. I would not use any other realtor.
