Karen is a rare and unique combination of charming, professional, intelligent, thoughtful, assertive, and refined. In the process of buying our very first home we felt like we had someone on our team the entire time; sometimes in the form of an RVA foodie who gave us stellar recommendations for places to dine, sometimes in the form of an advocate requesting the sellers to complete repairs that saved us thousands of dollars, sometimes in the form of a teacher, walking us through exactly what an escrow means or why title insurance is important and sometimes in the form of a mom who made us a delectable homemade pecan pie that she brought to closing along with champagne and a basket of artisan treats from the city we will be calling home. Karen was easy to reach, quick to communicate and genuinely made us feel like a priority. She is one of the best professionals we have ever worked with, and we are so grateful for her care, support, and expertise during this exciting adventure of buying our first home. If you are new to Richmond and looking for a home, Karen is an exceptional realtor and person, and you would be lucky to work with her.         

Karen Stevens is an exceptional agent. She hung in there with us through a very challenging sale and netted us more than our asking price. She promoted the property extremely well, staged it beautifully for photographs and showings and produced a lovely brochure that showed off the house's best features. She also provided expert advice on repairs we needed to make before putting the house on the market. And she counseled us wisely when glitches arose. We couldn't recommend her more strongly.

Karen is incredible and you must have her as your agent in Richmond! She knows the neighborhoods inside and out and her contacts in the business help close deals really smoothly. She went above and beyond to help us close on our house, even helping us with design ideas which was so appreciated. She was always available by phone and text through the whole process to make sure every fine detail addressed. Her expert negotiation skills helped us get a great house in a very competitive market. Thank you Karen!

Karen did a great job helping us buy our home in Richmond -- she was SUPER proactive and communicative, and very knowledgeable about the area and process. Plus friendly and fun to work with. We plan on using her again if we ever need to move!

Karen helped us buy our first house, and the whole process went as smoothly as possible thanks to Karen. She is professional, knowledgable and totally committed to helping her clients find the right house. Aside from being incredibly outgoing and pleasure to be around, she is also very analytical and able to counsel clients on the financial aspects of each property. She understands client service and is a pro at being responsive and counseling her client through the search, negotiation and closing of each transaction. If you are looking for a dedicated professional who knows the market and also happens to be blast to be around, then we highly recommend Karen.

Karen helped us buy our Near West End home in 2008 and proved such deep knowledge of the area and comfort with the purchase process that she was our *first choice* when it came time to sell nine years later. Once again she provided us fabulous service. Karen sat down with us several times to discuss how to prepare and price our home for sale, answering all of our questions along the way with patience and professionalism. In the days leading up to the listing, Karen marketed our home extremely well, pricing the home perfectly, placing ads in high-impact publications, and getting the word out to exactly the right buyers' agents. After just one day on Zillow, our house had been viewed hundreds of times. Our multiple offers and tip-top sale price was all thanks to Karen and her expertise. We can't recommend Karen enough, especially in Area 20.

Karen has to be the most patient Realtor ever. We went back and forth between down-sizing and not for a few months. She showed us probably 30 listings and never gave up on us. When she found the one that "fitted" us she gently showed us how it could work and made sure the seller gave us a fair deal. We wouldn't have closed yesterday without her.

My husband and I recently relocated to Richmond, and we worked with Karen to find our home. She has the work ethic of a New Yorker, showing tenacity and attention to detail in the competitive Richmond market. We would not have our house without her. It had 8 offers, and we were not the highest bidder, but the smart clauses she carefully put in our contract won us our dream home. Karen truly works for her client, going above and beyond.
