"Rick and Kara strike again! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with this dynamic duo on the sale of an investment property earlier this year, and it was an obvious choice to work with them again now on the buy side. In today’s market and an ever-evolving industry, having a team you can trust is the secret to finding your dream home. We knew we had smart and savvy agents representing us, but buying real estate is notably different than the experience of selling, and fortunately, these two are pros at both. It was really the way they showed up for us and for each other that made all the difference. We had to strategize, partner, pivot, tag team, and communicate around the clock throughout a very fast-paced process that was no doubt stressful for everyone in the face of life’s endless curveballs. Unflinching, Kara and Rick both kept clear heads, coached us with sound advice, and maintained positive outlooks that ultimately got us across the finish line and into our new home. We are so grateful for these two who went above and beyond to make it all happen in a relatively short time frame. From arranging private showings to rearranging personal schedules to be by our side, these two know what it takes to make it happen. Anyone would be lucky to go through this process with someone as compassionate as Kara and as charming as Rick, together they make the home-buying process approachable, understandable, and fun!"

"My experience with the sale of my condo was a comfortable, exciting event in my life, thanks to Kara Birkenstock. Like a coach helping his team do the right things to win the championship game, that was Kara. She pointed out things that would upgrade the value of the property to get the highest dollar value. Her artistic talent was evident in everything she did, from staging the property to making a beautiful brochure showcasing the condo and even providing a neatly arranged assortment of refreshments that made buyers feel welcome when they arrived. She walked me through all the challenges and talked me through all the concerns and answered me directly about any questions, so I felt totally at ease and confident about what I was doing. I cannot say enough about how intelligent and knowledgeable she is, as well as being a wonderfully sensitive, caring person. From the time the condo was ready to be on the market, it opened and closed in such a short time; just a month."

"Kara and Rick were so incredibly helpful throughout the process of purchasing our new home. They are outstanding, and we highly recommend working with them to anyone! They made the process of buying a house seamless, smooth, and stress-free for us as first-time home buyers in a situation with multiple offers.

"Kara was a phenomenal realtor. This market is one of the toughest we have ever seen, and she was so patient, kind, and encouraging. She dealt with the ups and downs with grace and extensive knowledge. Her advice was golden and never led us wrong. We were able to sell our house and get everything we could have asked for, and we were able to buy a fantastic home. She is the best realtor we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with and will never go to anyone else (although we hope to not buy for a long time)."
