Karen Stevenson

  • Karen listed and sold my home

      Karen has an extensive knowledge of the housing market as well as what to do to make your house stand out among the others. If she is representing the seller, then right from the start, she presents a to-do list that guides that seller through the staging process. Making a house attractive through her staging ability is key to a fast yet profitable end result. After the sale, she, and the title company that she works with, will be there to make sure that everything is as it should be. It can be said that were it not for this knowledge and experience, things would have a much different outcome.

    • Karen helped me buy a home

        Karen was lovely to work with. She was very communicative and made the process so easy and seamless. Her entire team were at my side every step of the way during my purchase. I highly recommend Karen!

      • Karen listed and sold my home

          Karen and her team did a superb job for us in selling our home quickly, for a great price, and with no surprises!

        • Karen listed and sold my home

            Karen has helped my husband and I sell two of our homes. She is enthusiastic right from the start of any sale. She is active throughout the entire process and kept our drive going through many open houses. Her positive and kind recommendations also helped to prepare our home for advertisements and open houses. Karen is motivated and professional. I highly recommend Karen for any real estate need whether selling or buying!

          • Karen listed and sold my home

              Karen and her team couldn’t have taken better care of us. As first time homebuyers, and quickly after (job relocation), first time sellers, she handled every detail. From working with the mortgage loan company, all the way down to the contractors who put in new smoke detectors...not to mention EVERYTHING in between, Karen worked tirelessly to give us every advantage. She was our advocate in every sense of the word. We would highly recommend Karen and her team!

            • Karen listed and sold my home

                My wife and I used Karen to sell our last house and buy our current house. It was an easy process and we were fully satisfied by her representation. As a consequence, I refer Karen to my clients in their efforts to sell their house. I am an elder law attorney and often have clients who have parents that are either transitioning to another location or have passed. I have only heard really good comments from clients when they work with Karen. I have no hesitation referring Karen. She always does a great job. In my profession it is critical that when you make referrals for other professionals to help out client matters that they are top-notch referrals. I have not been disappointed. She is a top-notch referral.

              • Karen listed and sold my home

                  If you think she can’t do it, she will! Her determination and commitment made all the difference. I thought we wouldn’t be able to move and buy a new home and she made it happen! In all sincerity, the best you can get in a realtor!

                • Karen was so great! I am a first time home buyer and she was so patient with all of my questions and made sure I understood each step of the process.

                  - Nicole L.
                • Very professional and responsive from start to finish. Good initial listing price. Great help throughout negotiations and with settlement and closing.

                  - Gary M.
                • Karen is the best! She really cares and it shows. Thank you Karen for Everything! Gregory Plotkin, CEO Digital Video Enterprises

                  - Gregory P.
                • Karen was professional and friendly. I would recommend you contact her to assist you with your real estate needs.

                  - Tamika W.
                • Karen has made selling our house as smooth and painless as can be. She definitely knows her stuff! We would recommend her to everyone!

                  - Matt, Shannon & Lucas B.
                • Over the past nine months I have had the pleasure of working with Karen as junior partner/men-tee. Karen is an extremely driven person with a caring, supportive spirit; a combination of characteristics that are most rare in the world of business. I find her to be extremely knowledgeable and her willingness to share this vast knowledge of Real Estate is simply uncanny. She deserves the highest consideration without reservations.

                  - Jeffrey W.
                • We cant say enough about the depth of experience and expertise that Karen demonstrated throughout the process of helping us both sell and buy a home (in the same week no less!) From advising us on how to stage our home to helping us choose from the (many) offers that were made on our house. From showing us homes that fit our unique family situation and helping us think through all the details of a contract . . .Karen fielded our phone calls and texts and made us feel like we were her first priority (even as we knew she was juggling many other clients cause she is THAT good!). She was professional, friendly/fun, and we truly enjoyed working with both Karen and David! We wont be needing a relator anytime soon since Karen helped us find our dream home. . .but we will continue to recommend Karen to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

                  - Paz & Carin G.
                • We worked with Karen Stevenson on the sale of two houses. In 2015 she sold my mothers house. The transaction was not straight-forward due to problems with the buyers agent. Karen managed the process in a professional and uncompromising manner. She held the buyers to the agreed to schedule and when they did not comply she worked with their agent to get the deal closed. We received a fair price and we immediately thought of Karen when it was time to sell our own house. This sale was not as complicated as the first sale and once again, Karen and the Stevenson Residential Group team managed every part of the process flawlessly. From evaluating the market, to negotiating the selling price and completion of the sale, we were informed of the status of the progress. Requests for paperwork were completed electronically whenever possible. Karen was firm with the buyers when several issues arose and she provided us the optimal outcome. We highly recommend Karen Stevenson and the Stevenson Residential Group team if you want to buy or sell property. They are completely devoted to obtaining the best outcome for their clients and you will not find an agent who will work harder for you than Karen Stevenson.

                  - Carol J.
                • Karen was my real estate agent in 2010. I cannot say enough good things about her. She helped me find my dream house and believe me: I was a difficult client. Not only did she help find it, but she was a real pro when it came to making an offer and negotiating the best price. Moreover: Karen is reliable, punctual, smart, articulate, savvy and very trustworthy. She has her clients best interests at heart. I can recommend Karen as a fantastic real estate agent without hesitation.

                  - Victoria H.
                • Karen sold our home within 3 days of it being listed. She was right on target in pricing it and was great with all the negotiations with the buyer. She helped me to stage it so it looked great. She also helped us buy our current home. Again, great in negotiating the price with the other agent as well helping us through the inspection process.

                  - Nina R.
                • The Stevenson Residential Group was WONDERFUL to work with. Having been a former real estate agent myself, it was harder for me to step back and let Karen do her job but I am SO glad I did. The process was smooth and very easy. She knew what we were looking for and went to bat for us during every negotiation period. The people she referred were amazing as well. Obviously, we have recommended her to our family and friends and will always call them when we need any residential services.

                  - Jannine H.
                • Working with Karen brought us great results as we were attempting to sell our previous home. She is proactive, creative, made great recommendations, knew all aspects of a deal and just an absolute pleasure to work with. I would recommend Karen highly. Her work is in a class of its own.

                  - Barbara T.
                • Karen was a wonderful real estate agent to work with. We just closed on our first house, and the entire process was well organized and ran smoothly. Karen had a lot of patience with all of my questions and was more than willing to help out with anything we needed. She was prompt with responses to my emails and always available when we needed her. I hope we can work with Karen again in the future.

                  - Mollie M.
                • Karen is one of the hardest working Real Estate agents Ive met in my 15 years as a Mortgage Consultant. She is extremely professional and proactive for her clients. I would highly recommend her ( and have) to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

                  - Shane H.
                • Karen is the consummate professional, an amazing resource and a tremendous agent. Karen approaches questions with an open-mind, and thinks outside the box to create the best outcome for her clients. Karen is timely and offers a great value for her work. Karen is very creative and understands the market second to none. This is a tough market and I know that Karen has her clients best interests in mind. She is thoughtful and insightful and treats her clients with respect. She is an excellent choice!

                  - Beth H.
                • Karen has been amazing. She has a good heart and wants to find you the right house for you and not just to close a deal. She is patient, funny, and has been a joy to work with. She has excellent communication skills and gets back to you ASAP. I would highly recommend contacting her to find your next home.

                  - Helped me buy a home
                • Karen was our Realtor when we bought our first house a few years ago. She walked us through the home buying and short sale process. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, hardworking, and personable. When we decide to sell our home we plan on listing with Karen!

                  - S. Haff
                • As a first time buyer (who didnt actually know whether I wanted to buy or not) I couldnt have gotten through the process without Karen. Karen was incredibly patient with me, and guided me through the entire process. After making an offer, she stayed on me to successfully make it through the timeline, and was available to answer all of my trivial questions. After settlement, Karen has stayed in contact to ensure everything is in line, and has followed up on any issues. Both she and her EA are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They removed the stress from the process, and made me feel at ease the entire time. I would recommend Karen to anyone looking to purchase a home, especially first time buyers.

                  - Susan D.
                • As a first time home buyer, I was apprehensive about the process and wasnt sure what to expect. Karen was fantastic extremely responsive and knowledgeable about buying a home and she definitely knows the area. The negotiation process went very smoothly and she was very supportive and explained the whole process (from initial negotiation, inspections, and closing).

                  - Marielle J.
                • Karen knows her stuff when it comes to negotiation and contracts. Our experience as far as selling (and we used her for buying as well) was a challenge for everyone involved, at no fault of Karen. Her contract negotiation skills were excellent and you can tell she uses her experience from past sales and purchases to leave you, as the client, with no concerns as far as having yourself most protected. She really went above and beyond and was able to resolve issues and keep things moving at points where they seemed on the verge of falling apart due to circumstances of the other parties involved in the transaction. Her team, Debbie and Joanna, were also outstanding, responsive in the rare occasion when Karen wasnt able to be connected (again, that was not a often occurrence).

                  - Tracy S.
                • Karen is a great negotiator and knows the world of real estate and how other agents work. She was able to help get us past some major bumps in the road and was definitely on our side when it came to contract negotiation and getting things done. She pushes us to entertain offers that I would have disregarded and was able to bring the offer for the home we were selling to something we could work with. We had a lot of challenges when it came to the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one (none of which were her fault) and I can honestly say that if we had another realtor we may not have been able to end up in the house we own (and we LOVE our house).

                  - Tracy
                • Karen is very reliable, precise, knowledgeable and responsive. I wont buy a property in the Baltimore area without consulting her. We got a good deal because of her.

                  - Rina B.
                • I have had the pleasure of working with Karen on numerous transactions as the mortgage lender, and I can wholeheartedly say that she is a true professional in every sense of the word. Her real estate expertise and knowledge of the area housing market is fantastic, but what really sets her apart is her complete focus on her clients needs and insuring that every decision has their best interest in mind. Her outstanding customer service, communication, and attention to every detail of the transaction make transactions with Karen run smoothly for everyone involved.

                  - Wendy E.
                • Karen was wonderful to work with in selling my mothers home. She helped make the process smooth, and we sold the home quickly. I recommend her highly.

                  - Brian Z.
                • We started our retirement home search nearly three years ago we werent in a rush and willing to be patient to find it. We were very fortunate to run across Karen Stevenson with Keller Williams. She was the perfect agent for us to work with and the ultimate result was our recent closing on the ideal house for us.The words that describe Karen are those that made this partnership just what we needed: Competent, Knowledgeable, Creative, Courteous, and Responsive (regardless of day or time). She was always one step ahead anticipating and resolving issues as they popped up. For what is typically a high stress event, this was a smooth, organized, and enjoyable experience. Karen said from the beginning that for her, this wasnt about a commission, but really about building relationships by ensuring her customers are satisfied. Although we dont plan on buying another home, if we did, Karen would be the person we would call. Use this real estate agent Highly recommended!!

                  - Rich A.
                • Karen helped me with the purchase of my first home in 2014. I would highly recommend her to any other first time home buyer. She was helpful in identifying areas that fit my criteria and budget. She was very patient and explained every step in the process. She was always very responsive and got back to me quickly. My purchase had some complications and Karen handled them extremely well and always looked out for my best interested. During the process of buying my home I was actually under contact on two house. I found a great house the first time Karen took me out to see homes. I decide to put in an offer and after some negotiation they accepted. However, the seller was insistent that deal be contingent on finding another house. They were under contact on another home at the time and expected everything to proceed smoothly, however, their deal fell through at inspection. Karen had my best interest in mind. She had negotiated a time frame for the seller to find another house into the contract, we extended a few times in hopes they would find something but they didnt. She also negotiated that I didnt have to proceed with getting the inspection or appraisal until the seller had found a house. We had continued to look at other houses. When I found another house I wanted to purchase she got me released from the other contract and my earnest money returned. Several things were discovered during the home inspection on the house I ended up purchasing and the sellers were reluctant to fix them. Karen handled the negotiations great, and convinced them to fix everything that was important to me. I will use Karen again when I am ready to purchase my next home. You will be in great hands with Karen!

                  - Cori D.
                • Karen is an attentive, knowledgeable and detail oriented realtor. She helped us sell our home and purchase and was there for us through each step of the way. To my husband and I, this was the biggest life change and experience and I am grateful we had Karen by our side to help us through each step. Karen was always available, responsive and provided the information we needed. From the initial listing all the way through the closing, Karen was involved and supportive. I highly recommend Karen for your real estate needs.

                  - Sean
                • Karen is friendly and eager to help a buyer find a house that is what the buyer is looking for. She will present other options for consideration. We looked at many houses over a period of many months, and Karen was very patient in helping us to find the house that best matched our desires in the Baltimore market. She is at the top of our list the next time we buy or sell.

                  - Jeanne Z.
                • You lived up to your billing that you could sell the house within 2 weeks and you did it. Not only that you sold my house, you have demonstrated your professionalism and excellence. You have done everything we asked of you and we thank you so much for everything. Please convey our sincere thanks to David as well.

                  - Billy & Patsy
                • If you are ever in the market for purchasing or selling your home ( Mrs. Karen Stevenson ) is definitely an agent who knows the home buying field very well . after 6 months of being frustrated with my house only being looked at with no potential contract interest , this agent brought her team in to try and figure out the best strategy to get this house to move off the market , within 2 months i can proudly say our property has sold what an awesome feeling . Amazing job Beautiful personHighly Recommended thank you for an amazing experience look forward to doing business with you and your team again .

                  - Aretha & Chris T.
                • Karen always had a professional appearance and was outstanding in communicating with prospective buyers. She provided advise on staging and low cost cosmetic improvements prior to listing the home. It is amazing how the changes recommended by Karen improved the overall look of the property.

                  - Joan K.
                • Karen and David are an amazing team. They walked us through every step of the process of selling our home. They made the transaction smooth and arranged for us to pre-sign documents so that we could begin our move out of state before settlement. I highly recommend their services. Your needs are their top priority and your thoughts and concerns are respected. Our house sold in 5 days!!!!

                  - Joe P.
                • Karen helped us in both selling and buying a house. It wasnt an easy task because we had to be overseas during the middle of the selling transaction but Karen and her team found a way to seamlessly work out all the paperwork logistics. And when we were racing against the clock to purchase another house, once again she came through and passed with flying colors. We found her to be knowledgeable, friendly but professional, kept us in the loop at all times and returned our calls promptly. I can enthusiastically recommend her services to anyone considering listing or purchasing a home.

                  - Frank L.
                • Karen was an extraordinary agent. She was knowledgeable, responsive, dynamic, and fun to work with. She knows how to represent the needs of the seller and ensure that we were happy with the outcome. She was confident in her ability to deliver what we were seeking, and she delivered.Highly recommended!

                  - Paul P.
                • I was looking to buy a home in the area and Karen was recommended to me by a close friend. From the moment I contacted her, she was professional and extremely helpful. This was the first time Ive gone through the home buying experience and Karen was able to answer any questions I had and also able to tell me about issues ahead of time that I wouldnt have thought of. She worked with me to find the right home and helped make the process extremely easy and pain-free. I felt like Karen and the people that work with her always had my best interests in mind and were looking out for me. I would definitely recommend Karen to anyone looking to purchase a home!

                  - Travis H.
                • Karen was extremely responsive & communicative throughout the process. She kept us updated with new houses that fit our criteria but was also honest about the true value of homes or challenges that might come up with certain housing features, streets, or neighborhoods when we went to view them. For example, she warned us of features that would not be in the best interest of our family or lower the value of the property for resell. I felt that she had our best interest at heart and was never pressured. Ultimately we went with a new build that did not allow realtors to work with them (since we had visited prior to signing with an agent), but Id recommend working with Karen and wed use her again.

                  - David S.
                • We found Karen after we had trouble selling our house after seven months and no offers. With Karens help and state of the art marketing plan, we got the house back on the market and within a month had two offers. She is the one who you want next to you in battle. She has a very impressive knowledge of the area and always works hard for her clients. Selling a house can be a very stressful time. Karen helps you remain focused and keep your eyes on the prize. I am sad that we moved out of the Baltimore area as I wont be able to use her when buying my next home.

                  - Maryjane S.
                • We very much enjoyed working with Karen and David Stevenson. As first time home buyers, they went above and beyond to help us through the process. They were extremely accommodating, for example, taking us on a virtual tour of the home when we could not make the first showing. Their knowledge and expertise are easily evident and allowed us to be competitive in the buying process. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area, and look forward to working with them in the future!

                  - Emily H.
                • Working with Karen was great. We needed someone responsive and able to use technology to maintain engagement. Despite traveling out of country for 3 weeks after listing, Karen kept us informed and the process moving. She also has a strong and supportive back office team to facilitate the process. I would work with Karen again to list my next house.

                  - Gabe D.
                • I searched for my perfect house for 2 years with multiple agents. I then found Karen who was referred by my sister who heard Karen speaking at a conference. Karen provided me with the knowledge, support, and frankness I needed to find my house. Karen was able to get me to focus on what I wanted and then aggressively go after it. Karen provided helpful feedback regarding each house we visited and really had a good sense as to what I wanted and called me on it when I veered off track. Karen was very responsive to e-mails/calls, very professional, easy to communicate with, organized and knowledgeable about the housing market. Karen also has a very supportive team that are very responsive to client needs. I would highly recommend Karen for any real estate needs.

                  - Michael K.
                • Working with Karen and the Stevenson Residential Group was an absolute dream. I am so glad I chose to work with Karen, who was my constant advocate and offered professional guidance through the negotiation and closing process. Her entire team was always very responsive to my many questions. As a first-time homebuyer, she made me feel comfortable and was always a phone call away if I needed her. She and David guided me through the inspection process and were always keeping me up to date on latest developments. Work with Karen and you will be so glad you did!

                  - Danielle L.
