More About Karen Jones

A licensed agent since 1998, I am grateful to the hundreds of people I've been fortunate to work with! I approach my clients and colleagues with respect, warmth and professionalism. I'm not afraid to ask questions and truly honor the importance of buying or selling a home. My goal is to provide expert service, while striving to make your real estate experience an exceptional one. I also believe in giving back to my community through volunteering and supporting local charities. Along with many others in my company, I give a portion of each commission check to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in support of the lives they touch and the hope they give!

Client Testimonials

"After my mother passed, I interviewed five realtors for the sale of her home. I hired Karen because she took the time to explain her market analysis. During the sale process, Karen always took the time to answer my questions. Professional and detail oriented, she is very easy to work with. I highly recommend her if you're selling a home, never once did I regret having her represent us!"--Pauline R.

"Karen brings dedication, creativity, knowledge, tenacity, and grit to her craft... All while maintaining a passion for the *people* she works with as the true core to her process.

After working with Karen to sell our house and buy our forever home, I cannot imagine having undergone the process without her. She made each step manageable, clear, and was never afraid to do the dirty work (quite literally at times!) to make sure our family's dreams were met to their fullest. She is truly one of a kind, and I can only give her the absolute highest of recommendations!"- Alex W.

"We have worked with Karen both as buyers and sellers, and we cannot say enough good things about her! We initially met Karen when we purchased a home she was listing. She was always prompt and professional, and her effervescent personality really set her apart from other realtors we've known. We reconnected with Karen after our previous home, listed with another agent, failed to sell. She developed an aggressive marketing strategy for us, and we had a good offer in weeks! We are working with Karen again now as we try to find our next perfect home. "--Andrea and Derek M.

"Karen is simply outstanding! While purchasing a home during the pandemic, there were many curve balls thrown her way. She was by my side through them all, supporting and guiding me in my pursuit of a new home. Karen's personal attention, friendly manner, experienced approach, and promptness to everything needed along the way is what makes her outstanding!" - Megan T.

"This is the third house that we have purchased through Karen and time and time again we are extremely pleased with the level of service that we have received. She is exceptional, and I would strongly recommend her to clients, family and friends."---Chris M.
