I Know Central Florida
Because I Live Here.
I've been a licensed REALTOR® since 2001 — which means I've seen every kind of market this area has thrown at buyers and sellers. Booms, busts, bidding wars, and everything in between. That experience is what I bring to every single transaction.
I also know what it feels like to relocate — because I've done it three times. I moved from New York to Florida as a kid. Then as an adult, from Florida to Nevada. And a few years later, from Nevada back to Clermont, FL — where I've been ever since. I know the anxiety, the logistics, the second-guessing, and the excitement. When my clients are relocating, I'm not just their agent. I've been in their shoes.
That's why my specialty is the relocating buyer — the Gen X empty nester, the remote worker, the family chasing a better quality of life where being outside is the year-round norm, not a seasonal luxury. And yes — the Disney Adults who want to live close to the magic but come home to a neighborhood that's actually quiet, and the Disney families who want their kids growing up with the parks practically in their backyard. I call them all the Next Adventure Buyers™. They're done vacationing here. They're ready to live here. And I'm the person who helps them make that happen.

What You Can Always Expect from Me
Honesty First
I'll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Whether it's pricing your home accurately or walking away from a bad deal — you'll always get the truth from me.
You're Not a Transaction
I've built my business on referrals and repeat clients. That only happens when people trust you. My goal is to be your real estate resource for life — not just for one closing.
Deeply Local
I live here. I know these communities, these builders, these neighborhoods, and these market conditions. That local knowledge is something no algorithm can replicate.
Full Transparency
From Buyer Broker Agreements to Transaction Broker disclosures to net sheets on every offer — I believe informed clients make better decisions. No fine print, no surprises.
Rooted in Central Florida
Being a great REALTOR® means more than knowing the market — it means being invested in the community you serve. Central Florida isn't just my business address. It's home.
Clermont & South Lake County
I've watched this area grow from a small lakeside town into one of Central Florida's most sought-after communities. I know every neighborhood, every builder, and every street.
West Orange Corridor
Winter Garden, Horizon West, and Minneola are where Central Florida's growth story is being written right now. I've been here for all of it.
Giving Back Locally
Supporting local businesses, schools, and community organizations isn't just good business — it's the right thing to do. This community has given me a career. I give back.
What Clients Are Saying
Every review Karen has ever received is 5 stars. On Zillow and everywhere else.
"Karen had our house under contract 1 day after it was listed — after we'd failed to sell for 6+ months with another realtor. She was professional, knowledgeable, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. We're just sorry we didn't work with her sooner."
Carlos & Evi B.
Clermont, FL
"We sold our home within 24 hours of listing it, and using Karen's services saved us a ton of money. From start to finish she explained the process very well and kept us informed right up to closing. I highly recommend Karen to anybody looking to sell their home."
Heike G.
Clermont, FL
"One cannot find a better realtor in Central Florida. She is honest, straightforward, punctual, responsible, knowledgeable, and above all, very professional. Karen always went the extra mile and always had my best interest in mind. Just call her."
Cesar L.
Clermont, FL
"Karen is one of the best agents we've ever worked with. She is very knowledgeable, professional, personable, and goes the extra mile to ensure a smooth sale and closing. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Clermont area."
M. Lahan
Clermont, FL
"Our home sold in less than 24 hours after listing. Karen never batted an eye when we told her we would not be low-balled on the price. Things went fast and the results were awesome."
Bill & Sheila B.
Clermont, FL
"Thanks to Karen, we found our dream home! Her advice was always sound, unbiased, and in our best interest. We were continually impressed by her responsiveness, helpful insights, and impressive follow-through."
