Karen Keefe
Top Real Estate Agent
It goes without saying that real estate is a full-time position for me. I wouldn't be valuable to you without staying up-to-date on the ever-changing market and all the related industries surrounding real estate including banking, insurance, building inspection, appraisals, and government policies and changes in the community regulations where I work. And let's not forget, the hours of many classes that hone my skills and keep me on top of real estate contract trends. Together with my professional tool-kit, I am all yours and eager to hear your needs, hopes, and dreams. As we tour properties, I pick up clues that show me how you feel, and I feed that information back to you in a fluid back and forth process. Then, with that knowledge, I can direct you to properties you may have overlooked in your computer search, and that's often how we ultimately find "the ONE." I possess the qualities you expect from a professional agent such as honesty, organization, and endless communication and negotiation skills, but my secret weapon is my persistence in problem-solving.
Before receiving the keys to your new home, there are approximately fifty people who will examine you and the property from various viewpoints. After we write an acceptable contract that protects your interest while we complete discovery about the property, my ability to be pro-active and avoid problems while working tirelessly to keep all parties – including you – focused on collaboration and forward motion will provide you with a truly valuable asset. It is not an understatement to say that real estate is ALL about solving problems, and I am determined to represent you in all resolutions while helping other professionals find ways to say yes so we can get those keys.
I am a licensed Realtor in Washington; an Accredited Buyer’s Representative; a Certified New Home Sales Professional; and a member of the National Association of Realtors, Kitsap County Association of Realtors and the Home Builders Association of Kitsap County.
With a style and skills that match your needs, I look forward to having the privilege of partnering with you as we find you a new place to call home.
