Testimonials

“We worked with Karen on the sale of our Mother’s home and are so happy we did! The results speak for themselves, we received seven offers on our second day on the market, resulting in a final sale price that set a record on the street! The house needed some updating. Karen advised us on strategic improvements that would maximize its value and best position it for market. Karen oversaw the entire process and through her beautiful staging, highlighted this Heritage Home's original character while demonstrating it’s endless potential. She took care of every detail from start to finish making the whole process seamless and stress free. Karen also identified the possibility of our property being eligible for laneway housing and proactively had the necessary assessment completed prior to listing. Taking this extra step ensured that the true value of the home was realized. She is knowledgeable, strategic, effective and an excellent negotiator. The service we received from Karen Doering was exceptional. We would have no hesitation in recommending her.”

"We had been thinking about selling our house for a few months, but what overwhelmed us, was the work that was going to go (on our end) to list our house. Karen gave us a very thorough perspective on her recent experience on the market in our community. In getting the home ready, she provided specific guidance on what items to prioritize de-cluttering/ organizing and was very responsive when we had questions. Karen also took care of organizing and executing moving our furniture out, and provided personal staging services, integrating our pieces, so the photos still looked like home to us. She provided quality services to help us fix minor items, and her design of staging highlighted the homes' most appealing features. She let us know what to expect, every step of the way, and provided us with updates. She speaks directly and provides confidence with her recommendations. She moves fast, and she builds trust. On the first day of listing, we encountered a problem with the furnace, and she sprung to action (as did we) and solved it within 24 hours. 24 hours after that, we received an offer that exceeded our expectations, and we were back in our home shortly after as we searched with Karen for our new home. We highly recommend Karen for any/all your real estate needs”.

“It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Karen Doering. We met Karen shortly after a failure to sell our home (with a different agent) that had left us disappointed, depleted, and exhausted. Karen’s positivity and grace gave us a much-needed boost to try again. Only this time it was vastly different. Karen and her team handled absolutely every detail with competence and care. They packed and moved all of our belongings out, staged the house beautifully, then de-staged and moved everything back in after the sale. The whole process took just about one week during which time we moved to a hotel, making the experience completely stress-free for us. This was a game-changer for us. As busy owners of our own business, we could not have done this any other way. Karen confidently managed the offer process, treating the prospective buyers humanely, yet with our best interests in mind. Thanks to her efforts there were five offers after one day on the market and our house sold for over $200,000 over our asking price. Now we are in the in-between phase where we’ve sold and bought but haven’t moved yet. Karen continues to support us through the process. She is responsive, caring, and helpful. We have felt really well held by Karen and her team throughout every aspect of this process. Karen is an extraordinary professional, competent, and kind, with a full-service approach that will make you very happy! Keep an eye on this amazing woman. She has the potential to raise the standard for the real estate industry as a whole! We feel very lucky to have met Karen and know that you will have a fantastic experience with her in your court.”

"My husband and I were fortunate to connect with Karen Doering when we decided to sell our home of 17 years. Karen’s approach is warm, and her integrity and experience gave us a lot of comfort and confidence in the entire process. Karen listened to our family’s goals, provided a thorough perspective on the current market conditions, and recommended a strategy that positioned our home for maximum results and helped us achieve a fantastic outcome. Karen and her team wasted no time getting to work, managed some minor renovations, helped us de-clutter and then staged our home beautifully. We were extremely impressed with how quickly Karen managed to get our house ready and, on the market, and we appreciated her flexibility and attention to detail. We received 6 offers on our first day of the listing, resulting in a record sale price on the street! Karen helped us effectively navigate through the process every step of the way and she exceeded our expectations! We would recommend Karen to any and all of our friends and family who are considering selling or buying a home’.

"My wife and I are very busy. We have little kids and busy jobs, so when we decided to make a move, we needed someone who could really make things easy for us. Karen was a lifesaver. She made everything simple and exceeded our expectations in every way. She did a beautiful staging, helped us get everything in order, and ultimately got us an offer that was more than we expected. She then found us an incredible new home that hit all of our biggest asks. I can't recommend Karen enough."

“Meeting Karen has been the answer to our real estate needs. She enabled us to work through the sale of our home with the confidence and security of being in the hands of a most capable and professional Realtor. She always took time to answer our questions and her “light staging” provided buyers an opportunity to envisage our home in a creative yet functional light. We will recommend her services to anyone looking for a realtor who cares.”

“Karen, we wanted to say once more how much we appreciated you and all of your work and expertise during the sale of our home. It was a new, emotional experience for us- but honestly you made is all do easy. We appreciated your positive, hardworking personality and were blown away with your staging. Thank you again, we could not be happier!”

“Thanks to Karen I now own my first home! She stuck with me through multiple viewings and helped guide me through every step of the process. She’s personable, patient, super knowledgeable and goes to bat for her clients. I was hesitant at first to use a real estate agent but Karen truly cares about her clients and finding the perfect home for them. The next time I go to purchase, she’ll definitely be my first call. Karen is incredible at what she does.”
