Reviews

  • We recently had the good fortune of working with Kara when buying our home here in Mar Vista. From the start, she was professional, courteous, and a great advocate. She knew what specific questions to ask, knew how to manage our expectations of the process, and had a multitude of resources to support homebuyers. When things got challenging in escrow (as they inevitably do), she advocated for us on multiple fronts to make sure we got what we needed and that key points of the agreement were honored so we could sign our paperwork. We held multiple cell phone calls with her in the evening to ask important questions. She answered them patiently and made sure she explained things as simply and succinctly as possible for us the first time homebuyers. Kara works hard to connect with her clients and rejoices in their big moments. We are so pleased we got to work with her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to others who are looking to purchase a home. Thank you Kara!

  • Kara is a great agent who helped during the process of selling my property! Even when I had to go theu the probate process. She stuck with me until we got the property back on the market and sold! If I had other property to sell, I would definitely ask her to be my agent again!

  • We’d outgrown our condo after having our first child and were ready for a change. Kara worked with us patiently over months, even talking us out of homes that didn’t feel quite right (which says everything about her integrity). We ended up with a stunning new construction in Beverlywood with incredible views—and she negotiated the price below asking. She’s sharp, strategic, and genuinely cared about our family’s next chapter. We couldn’t be happier!

  • Kara helped me put together an off-market deal that was fast, smooth, and incredibly well-managed. From start to finish, she was in control of every detail and made the entire process feel effortless. We closed in just 20 days with no drama—just clear communication, great strategy, and total professionalism.

  • Trusted Kara’s Strategy and It Paid Off! I can’t say enough about how incredible it was to work with Kara. From the start, she brought a clear, confident vision for how to position and market my home—and I trusted her completely. I followed her guidance on pricing, staging, and photography, and she took the reins with her team to bring it all to life. The result? Multiple offers over asking and under contract just three days after we hit the market. The entire process was unbelievably smooth. Kara’s expertise, calm leadership, and amazing team made it feel effortless. She's the kind of agent who delivers and makes you feel supported the whole way through.

  • I honestly don’t know how I would’ve done this without Kara. As a first-time buyer, I had a million questions, and Kara was there for me every step of the way—working closely not just with me but with my entire family. She helped me land a gorgeous condo just steps from the Santa Monica bluffs (it feels like a house!), negotiated below asking with credits, and built an amazing rapport with the listing agent that made our offer shine. Kara is the real deal—knowledgeable, kind, and a true advocate.

  • Kara is the definition of "above and beyond." She's a skilled, savvy agent, and most importantly, she's honest — she's not just out to make a quick sale; she takes real time and effort to find her clients exactly what they want & need. We truly saw how she prioritized our best interests above her own. As first-time buyers who are not native to the area, Kara helped us stay informed and clear-headed in the super-competitive LA market. Thanks to her guidance and expertise, we closed on a property that checked every box (including boxes that, without Kara's insights, we never would've even thought of). Thank you Kara, we so appreciate you!!!

  • Kara is the best realtor I've ever worked with, period. Which was great bc I had just relocated and leaned on her pretty heavily. She took the time to get to know me and only suggested properties in neighborhoods she thought I'd like (and was right). Kara is proactive and always brings a great attitude. Very much looking forward to working with her again.

  • Kara is very professional, communicative and understands the market well. She immediately knew exactly what I was looking for and tailored all recommended listings to my needs. Once we found the home I wanted she helped put together an offer package that beat out the competition and I didn't have to pay over asking price which was below market value. During escrow she had great recommendations on inspectors and helped guide me through the process while also securing credits from the seller. She was at the home while inspections were taking place to ensure everything went smoothly and gave great advice on how to address issues that arose. Once I closed on the home she left me a wonderful housewarming gift. I would highly recommend Kara to anyone looking for a new home!

  • My experience of working with Kara was terrific! I've bought and sold 6 houses in the past and this buy went exceptionally well. Kara was thoughtful, knowledgable, and on it from the start. She handled our 20 day escrow with great skill and care. More than happy to sing her praises.

  • Absolutely fantastic experience with our real estate agent, Kara! To think that we were randomly linked to her via Zillow still astounds me - everything that we could have asked for in a realtor to help us find our LA son’s first property. She has very good instincts and a keen eye for potential property issues. Kara made the process of buying a condo in Los Angeles incredibly smooth and stress-free. From our initial consultation to closing the deal, her expertise and dedication were evident every step of the way. Kara understood our needs perfectly and found us the ideal condo. Her knowledge of the LA market is unparalleled, and her negotiation skills were very helpful dealing with the seller’s agent. If you're looking for a top-notch real estate agent in LA, look no further. Five stars all the way!

  • Kara is fantastic! We had such a positive experience working with her to buy our first home. She is knowledgeable, responsive, honest and an excellent communicator!

  • Working with Kara was an absolute delight. Despite the challenge of searching for a home from across the country, Kara's dedication and proficiency made the process smooth and efficient. When a home in our dream neighborhood hit the market, Kara wasted no time and was there on the same day, swiftly drawing up contracts and securing our offer. Her strategic approach and commitment ensured our offer was accepted in a low-inventory market! Even during moments of doubt, Kara was there to offer reassurance and support, going above and beyond to alleviate any concerns we had. It was evident that she genuinely cared about our family's happiness throughout the entire process. Working with Kara was more than just a business transaction; it felt like having a trusted friend by our side every step of the way. We are immensely grateful for her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care, and we highly recommend her to anyone in search of their perfect home.
