I believe that real estate is more than just a transaction. As a REALTOR® with CENTURY 21 Signature Real Estate, I build my business by referral, and therefore my goal is to provide every home buyer and seller in Iowa with an extraordinary experience that puts people before sales.
Closing the sale matters, but more important is having a trusted advisor in your corner who has your back every step of the way and is able to keep you safe from potential pitfalls.
Reach out if you want to talk about selling your home, buying a property, investing in real estate, or learning more about your local community.

Kids have moved out and left with more than we needed. Didn't know anything about the whole process of selling and buying. We was very patient, positive , and honest. She helped fine people to help us to be less stressed. Cleaning people and getting through the inspections. We consider her and her family as friends. My husband and I would recommend Karen to anybody in the same shoes.”

She went out of the way to present the house in its best light. Paperwork was done remotely to provide ease of service. The house has moved to its new owner, with Karen’s help.”
