Karin was great from day one in the sale of my father's house. The sale was challenging as I and my sister live far away and my father is in an assisted living with increasing cognitive decline. Karin was supportive and kind. I highly recommend her and would use her services again if the need arose.

Karin and Jan HEITMANN are the perfect couple to handle you home sale, they take extensive photos of your house and surroundings, plus explain in its description all the pluses to add to its value. Along with the open houses and keeping the flyer box full . Plus theyll even drive you to you closing. Who could possibly ask for anything more.

Karin was our realtor as my wife and I looked for a home in Englewood, FL. We've purchased many homes but this was our first in Florida. We felt lucky to have found Karin. She listened to what we were looking for, found us the one we wanted, and in a really hot market with multiple offers she helped us craft the right offer. Once the purchase agreement was signed, Karin walked us through the process to its successful completion. In summary, Karin is a pro! She's experienced, knowledgeable, attentive, and really was there for us every step of the way. FANTASTIC! Thank you, Karin!

Karin is the best! She did everything for us including being our eyes!! We were not able to actually come see the place so Karin took the reins and went full steam ahead. She did everything and I mean everything (except the funds lol) We are extremely grateful for her hard work and dedication in getting us our dream home. If your in the market for a new place or a vacation home we highly recommend you call her. Thank you Karin for everything.
