Testimonials:

Karen helped us in every aspect from the loan process thru to the escrow process as we were first time home buyers.

"Jared and Tiffany Pace"

 

Karen shines in her honesty and knowledge of the marketplace. We believe that Karen is the most professional agent I have ever worked with.

"Gil and Sharrie Duncan" - The Boeing Company

I want to thank Karen for her donation to Children's Hospital. When my son was 14 month old he was rushed to Children's. Not knowing what was wrong with him the staff at Children's found out what was wrong and saved his life. My son is now 19 and I know he wouldn't have made it without Children's Hospital. Thank you Karen for everything you have done for us. Your the best agent there is. We couldn't have done it without you.

"Ed and Jennifer Kraft"

As we head in a new direction I thought it appropriate to drop you a letter and let you know how much Barb and I appreciated the significant role, you, Karen played in the sale of our home. Having spent the past 23 years in the Human Resources discipline, I have had the opportunity to work with many real estate professionals. However, I can say without hesitation none finer than you, Karen.

One of the most critical decisions in business is selecting the right individual to do the job. Karen took the time to understand our objectives and had our interests first and foremost throught the selling process. Karen exemplifies all of the attributes sellers should be looking for when selling their home.  She was, best of all, proactive in her communications, always keeping us apprised of her activities.

One final thing that impressed me most about Karen was her commitment to furthering her credentials. The fact that she donates a portion of her commission backChildren's Hospital also tells me a lot about her character, she believes in giving something in return.  Karen is an excellent negotiator, her knowledge of real estate made me thankful that she was representing us.   In closing let me say that I would witout hesitation, recommend Karen to anyone either seeking to purchase or sell their home. She is an outstanding agent.

"Barb and Drew Mac Afee"

Karen is the best. Her knowledge and expert attention to detail is what we wanted.

"Dr. Christopher Jean, D.D.S. and Dr. Stacey Lin, D.D.S."

Karen always kept us updated about what was happening. Karen is one really dedicated and knowldegeable agent. Karen, thank you for designating our home as a Miracle Home for Children's Hospital. That happens to be my favorite charity.

"John and Nancy Beeson"

We employed our realtor, Karen Schweinfurth, after interviewing three other agents.  We are experienced home sellers and buyers and insist on interviewing whenever we are in the market to either sell or buy a home. For us, the interview process is extra work, but helps us to determine how well the Realtor will work with and for us.

In our case we decided on Karen for several reasons; we felt that Karen's enthusiasm and sales ability would be assets in the selling of our home. Also, Karen made us feel certain that the sale would go smoothly and professionally. We would employ Karen again and recommend her to anyone interested in purchasing or selling.

"Sarah and Peter Murray"

Karen's honesty and her committment to selling our home were her most outstanding features. She worked very hard to make selling our home a positive experience. After she sold our home my parents listed two homes with her. Thank you Karen for making selling our home happen quickly and pleasantly.

"Jim and Tami Henderson"

Mom, thanks for helping me find my first home and all you have done for me. I now fully understand how labor intensive your job is and appreciate your hard work.

"Your Son Jeff"

Karen, thanks for assisting my friend list his home and find a new one. You are a "Phenom" as in phenominal! We really appreciate you.
