Kari Haas

As first-time buyers about to move into our first house, we couldn't be happier about having worked with Kari & Darren. They genuinely cared about our success as well as our happiness and helped us buy our dream home. We couldn't be more grateful for their expertise and action-oriented work!

Long story short, Kari and her team are amazing. We were first time home buyers in a ridiculously competitive market. Kari and Darren walked us through the home buying process step by step and made sure we got the home of our dreams. Not only that, her expertese in negotiation ensured that we were 1) getting a fantastic deal on our home and 2) staying competitive with other home buyers. Kari and her team went above and beyond. They would be my first recommendation to anyone buying or selling in the Seattle area. I would not trust anyone else.

If wouldn't be Kari and Darren I wouldn't be sitting now in our beautiful home with our infant in my lap and writing this review. Words can't describe how lucky and thankful we were to work with this wonderful team. It created a special bond that will last forever. From the first time we had a zoom call with Kari and Darren we knew that they would be the perfect team to help us finding our home, and we were not wrong at all. Their knowledge, professionalism, experience in this market, attention to details make them to be unique in all ways. They were present everywhere with us and guide us throughout the entire process. First time in the housing market and having 2 little kids - 3 years old and 6 weeks old it was a real challenge, but Kari and Darren were there for us all the time, and we always felt so much energy and confidence coming from their side that inspired us as well. Kari is an amazing talented woman and we really liked the way how she was encouraging and reminding us to get the house we love but not just a house. They are incredible and we thank God for sending them towards our way. So grateful for them both. Thank you so much!

I have purchased and sold my homes twice now with Kari and Darren. Both sales on each occasion were quick and profitable. I would not consider using any other agents in this city to do either because of how hard they worked and the outcome. My partner and I decided to buy a home together so I sold my condo on Capitol Hill. Kari and her team did a great job marketing and selling the condo. We then purchased a beautiful craftsman on Beacon Hill using Kari as our agent. She is a genius negotiator and got us a great deal on the price of the house. As well as repairs done by the sellers that we didn’t think was possible to obtain in the Seattle market. During the pandemic we realized the beautiful home we purchased was too large for just us two. Kari and Darren worked swiftly to get our house sold. The house was well staged and the attention to detail was stellar. We had offers on our home the first day it went on market. We ended up selling for a much higher price than the list price. This allowed us the extra funds we needed to get a townhome in Alki. Which they also helped us purchase. Super impressive because it was the first home we bid on during a time when houses are scarce. In addition to helping my partner and I, they took on two of my referrals and helped them with their house search as well. Everyone I have sent their way really enjoyed working with Kari and her team. The benefits are endless but to name a few: reliable contractors, great marketing staff, responsive and upfront answers, access to current real estate marketing trends, amazing personalities and the confidence that your agent knows what she’s doing. I’ve seen some serious real estate disasters in my time so it’s very important that you get an agent that is experienced. Overall the way Kari and her team is aligned you get streamlined/organized help with your buying and/or selling it simplifies just about every aspect.
