Karen Barrios

When it came the time for me to have to settle my brothers estate in another state I was a bit lost on who to contact to not only sell his home, but who to contact in the area to get some help in bringing the property up to salable condition to meet California State requirements. I was put in touch with Karen Barrios, Realtor through the Probate Office I am working with. She took what would have been a difficult and probably lengthy process and turned it into one of the best real estate transactions I have ever been involved in. There was a lot of work that needed done to the property to get it on the market and Karen Barrios took it upon herself to put me in touch with trusted contractors and laborers in the area that worked quickly and within my budget to do far more than I would have thought possible in a short amount of time. She managed ever aspect of the process, working closely with the contractors, local municipalities, myself and the Probate office to make sure every small detail was cared for. Her willingness to step in and help, really help is something that set her apart from any other Realtor I’ve done business with over the past 40+ years. Most importantly, she kept me informed throughout every step of the process and did so without me having to reach out to her for status or updates. Karen Barrios more than exceeded any expectations I could have had in managing the sale of my brothers home. She was compassionate, informative and realistic about what was and wasn’t possible for the area. She guided me through every option or scenario and allowed me to make informed decisions based on her expert knowledge of the market in the area. She immediately understood the value and potential and how to sell what was possible as well as what was realistic. That was probably the one aspect I appreciated the most….she told me what I needed to hear and did so in such a way as to make me feel heard and consulted. Would I recommend Karen Barrios to my friends and family? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!! I only wish she was a realtor here in my home state. I would definitely recommend Karen Barrios to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area she serves. She’s quite simply The Best!!

Hire only the Best! I must say Karen sold my 2
homes in No time. Excellent communication,
knowledgeable. Advertisement video was
stunning and Very entertaining on both homes. I
give my K.B. an AAA+

Karen was very knowledgeable and savvy. Her sales and negotiating skills are
beyond what I have seen in a Realtor. She helped us find the house of our dreams
and negotiated the seller $15K under asking. Karen has blown our expectations and
supported us every step of the way. Highly recommended!

Karen is knowledgeable, responsive, pro-active and conscious of her client’s needs and expectations.
I have no hesitation to recommend her as a wonderful Real State agent as I’m sure she will work for you as hard as she did for my recent purchase. She makes the experience comfortable and her explanations are always thorough and clear. Karen is always available, courteous and patient. I give her a five stars recommendation on her performance and professionalism.

Karen is a great professional! With her many years of marketing experience and background in business she is the right choice when choosing a realtor. She is not only great with negotiation but also amazing relationally. There are many realtors but not all have the gift of truly caring for their clients needs and desires in such an excellent way. Karen goes above and beyond to find the right home for you and also to market your home. She looks for the best offer, location, pricing and amenities for her clients as she works closely by listening to them. She is great with first time homebuyers, walking them through the process- we are so grateful she did that with us. She is insightful and just lovely to work with. You won’t regret choosing her!
