Amazing Success Stories

“Karen made buying a house in this market possible. She was always available for questions and help. She even stood with us during a difficult closing. And she’s a You Tube sensation!”

“My husband and I were anxious to be house hunting in a crazy market, but start to finish Karen calmed our nerves with her extensive market knowledge, candor, and sensible advice. I was unfamiliar with the Boston metro area, and found Karen's YouTube channel (Boston and the 'Burbs) incredibly helpful and informative. She brought a practical mindset, enthusiasm, and warmth that we really appreciated. Would strongly recommend!”

“We heard about Karen through her YouTube channel and then she was independently recommended to us by our lender. At our first meeting, she really listened to what we were looking for and her positive attitude and wealth of knowledge of the Boston area confirmed she was the right realtor for us. During open houses we'd talk through what we liked and didn't like about the house and she would be realistic with us about what needed work and how the home fit our wants or not. We felt like we were in good hands because Karen would not let us settle for a house that would not work for our family. When we finally found a house we wanted to make an offer on, she walked us through the game plan so we actually understood how the whole complicated process works. She was great at communicating with the sellers agent as well and helped us negotiate a lower price in the end. She also recommended us to a great lawyer and housing inspector, which made everything less stressful. She even went above and beyond lending us some basic items so we could spend the night in our new home after an ice storm the day of our closing. We love our new home and recommend Karen to anyone looking for a home in the Boston area!!!”

“My husband and I wouldn't have ended up with the wonderful house that we purchased without Karen's help! We were remote buyers, and given the competitiveness of the Boston market it wasn't feasible for us to view most properties in person. Karen filled in the gaps for us by creating fantastic video tours of houses and neighborhoods. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. Her attention to detail and balanced feedback about how well each property fit our requirements meant that we were very comfortable trusting Karen to help us find the right house. When we were making offers, Karen went above and beyond to communicate with the selling agents and make sure that they understood that although we weren't local, with Karen's help we had thoroughly vetted the property and were confident that it was a great fit for our family. Karen's deep knowledge of the market and thorough comp reviews ensured that our offers were very competitive. Overall, working with Karen was great expererience and I highly recommend her to anyone shopping for a home in the Boston area.”

“Karen was great. We were in a rush to find a home in a very competitive market, and Karen helped us every step of the way. She asked us the right questions, gave us good advice, and served as our strategic partner while we scheduled viewings and prepared an offer. We plan to recommend her to friends looking for homes in the Greater Boston area. Thanks, Karen!”

“I would recommend Karen to anyone looking for a realtor in the Boston area. It was a breeze to work with her and her knowledge of the greater Boston area and suburbs is impeccable. Karen could answer all of our questions, was able to find out information that helped us make good decisions and, in general, made the entire process completely stressless.”

“Karen helped us find a home from out-of-state during a pandemic. In our first (virtual) meeting, she got right to work by reviewing the current houses on the market with us and signed herself up for open houses. When she went to each place (some very far apart from each other), she was kind enough to record the neighborhood and the house itself on her phone, then, after a few hours, sent us an edited video for each house! Very accommodating, to say the least. She also helped us strategize to make the right offer, and then got us in touch with a lawyer (who was also great and extremely responsive) to handle the legal documents. We had to make an offer without actually seeing the house, so we relied heavily on her experience and assessment of it! She was forthcoming with both the upside and the downside, which made it possible for us to feel comfortable making an offer. When we came into town to look at the house during the inspection, she decided to drop by and meet us in person, even though she did not have to. Overall, she is a very accommodative, personable, and experienced real-estate agent! 5 stars!”

“Finding the perfect condo in a competitive market, with multiple bids was a challenge, but my realtor Karen O’ Brien made it happen. Karen was immensely knowledgeable on the housing market and was instrumental in advising me on the correct bid we needed to secure our offer. I highly recommend working with Karen as she is a very dedicated realtor and is extremely committed to her clients needs.”
