Karen Pioch's Reviews & Ratings

Tell us about your experience with
Karen Pioch

    • She is a definite asset to your companyWould recommend her to family and friends

      - Larry and Jean, Buffalo Grove, IL
    • Karen was an exceptional realtor. She first showed us homes she felt would fit our requirements, until we zeroed in on one. She volunteered helpful information including that we request from the seller a radon test (which turned out was needed!). She offered local insight, provided us with links for information that would be beneficial and always there to answer ANY questions! Her upbeat demeanor and knowledge made her a valuable asset to us in our real estate purchase. We did work other realtors, but Karen stood heads above them! I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a new home!!!!

      - LAKE SUMMERSET, IL
    • She was incredible. She took the time to explain every detail to my wife and I. She stayed in touch and guided me through the process from start to finish. She was patient, understanding, and supportive. She really knows her business.

      - Cliff, Hoffman Estates, IL
    • Karen was great. Highly recommended!

      - Jim, Elgin
    • Karen Pioch represented us with the sale of our home. Other realtors in the area had worked with us and most did little and accomplished nothing. Karen did a great job with advertising, listing information, open houses and continued working until the house was sold. I highly recommend her skills as a real estate agent and her diligent hard work.Please call her if you want to sell your home.

      - Elaine Kisser, Lake Summerset
    • Karen Pioch was very active in making sure our house sold even though the market was slow at the beginning. We are very happy with our experience working with her.

      - Joyce Zorn-Jaffe, Lake Summerset, IL
    • I have recently purchased my first house and could not have done it without the expert services provided by Karen Pioch. From start to finish, Karen Pioch guided me though a smooth and satisfying process. Karen Pioch just gets it. Karen was able to truly understand my needs and make what could be a very difficult and exhausting process into one that is very simple. Karen Pioch is highly motivated, professional and gets the job done so that you don't have to worry about it. I highly recommend that you consider Karen Pioch to lead the way in your next home buying experience.

      - Steve Malinowski, Chicago
    • My wife and I decided it was time for us to move out of our one bedroom apartment and into our first home. We knew what we were looking for but knew little about the actual process of buying a home. Karen was the perfect agent for us; she provided us with all the knowledge necessary to move forward in the process. We ended up moving very quickly and closed on our home less than 30 days after our offer was accepted. We wouldn't have been able to do any of this without Karen; she was excellent in all areas. We would recommend her to friends and absolutely work with her again given the opportunity.

      - Matt & Christy Hopkins, Chicago, IL
    • Karen Pioch made us feel comfortable and confident with her. She is very knowledgable of the real estate business. She is professional and at the same time a good friend. She knew we were under pressure to sell because our new house was finished and we needed to close on it. She worked quickly, scheduled two open houses which resulted in a sale.We closed on both houses the same day. We are so grateful for Karens quick work, professionalism and friendliness.

      - Jeri and Bob Elliott Richmond IL
    • Karen Pioch was always available through e-mail or phone. She worked very hard promoting the property through open houses and professional photos on the web.

      - Sharilyn Willer, Davis, IL
    • Karen is an asset to her professional. She is always on top of her game. Her knowledge of houses and real estate, especially of a particular area is one of the best. She was in tune to our needs and knew what we needed and needed to see. Her skills to hone in on particulars of a house that fit our needs and wants were right on target. We would highly recommend her for your real estate needs in the Chicagoland area and outlying areas. Don't hesitate to use her skills for your next sell or purchase. We look forward to working with her again.

      - paul and diane glen ellyn
    • Karen took us to see at least 30 houses, possibly more, and each day we went out she had a plan consisting of 5-8 houses we would see that day. As time went on and we saw more houses, Karen clearly understood what we were looking for and began tailoring the suggested showings to our preferences which ultimately led to us buying a house after our first offer fell through on the inspection.Karen was very helpful inside the house letting us know things that may have to be addressed, how much time/work/money we might have to invest in a house to meet our preferences, comparable listings/sales in the area, a suggested opening offer, and general pros and cons of the houses we were seeing. Karen was also a great person to spend all that time with as she is very knowledgeable, nice, personable, funny, etc. I did not feel pressured to buy a house I did not want to buy.Karen was also very helpful with the offer, negotiations and closing processes. Karen would always get us documents we needed in a timely fashion including at night, and on Superbowl Sunday, to make sure our offer was in as soon as possible.Karen is a great realtor and I would suggest her to anyone.

      - Patrick Bushell
    • We first met Karen at an open house she was holding last year. We felt comfortable with her and subsequently looked at some other homes with her. Although that didn't work out we called her again two months ago and this time it did. We especially appreciate Karen's firsthand knowledge of this community and the association that manages the lake. "Things here work on lake time" she stressed to us when we got impatient with the pace of progress. We look forward to making that transition!!

      - D & D Schmitz
    • Karen was great to work with, helping us through the stress of selling. She has a unique marketing approach, different from other local realtors, which helped sell our house. She was always responsive immediately to any communications and we appreciate her hard work on our behalf.

      - Harry & Vicki Engelstad
    • Karen sold my home, even though she had to split the commission with the buyers realtor, it was her who showed it to them and got it sold!

      - Colleen Greene
    • I believed her to be honest and capable of handling all aspects of marketing the property. I was not disappointed. Also, she kept me posted on a continuing basis, offered sound suggestions which I followed. Would hire her again and would recommend her to others if the chance arises.She was tops.In short, it was excellent.
