Highly recommended. I worked with Karen OHare and she was wonderful for me as a first time home buyer. She made herself very available from the beginning and was quick to respond via phone, text, or email. She was patient during the process and worked with me around my work schedule. She was very proactive with the forms and explaining various things throughout the process. Karen was very professional and kind and genuinely wanted me to buy a house I wanted. I would absolutely use her again someday if needed!

We worked with Karen OHare and things couldnt have went any smoother. Out house sold in one week for full price.

I always recommend her to anyone who needs a competent, honest and hard working realtor.
