CLIENT REVIEWS


There are many things I can say about the high quality of service we provide to our home seller and home buyer clients, but none would be as credible as testimonials from customers themselves over the years. Please take a moment to read the following reviews. I hope they indicate our experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much we enjoy helping people with their real estate needs.

Karen has helped us buy & sell two homes now and she really made the process seemless for us. She listened to our wants and needs as well as looked out for our best interest with buying & selling. Karen is so knowledgeable about real estate and the Hampton Roads area of Virginia! She was so helpful and mindful with prepping our home for sale and takes amazing pictures for the listing! She is so hardworking and will always get everything done for you as the client to get to close! We always felt so confident when working with Karen. I wouldn't work with anyone else as long as we live here. Sidenote: We also worked with her during COVID times last year selling our first home and buying a larger home. It was a breeze! Thank you Karen!!
Karen is amazing and knows her stuff! She went above and beyond for us and found us a great home. She kept us informed through the whole process and answered all our questions. I never had to worry about anything cause Karen was on top of it. Karen really cares about her clients and it shows. I would absolutely recommend Karen to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Karen helped us out on short notice when we could only be in town for a few days. Her ability to quickly identify the properties that matched our search criteria and her extensive knowledge and experience in the Virginia Beach area were pivotal in our real estate purchase. Communication is another strong suit of Karen's. She kept us up to date frequently as the offer, purchase, and closing process was happening--we never missed a beat. She made sure that we were taken care of after our closing, as well, and we really needed this support since we were out of town upon closing. I'd recommend Karen to help out with any type of real estate purchase in this area! Many thanks to Karen for facilitating a successful deal.
Let me just begin by saying that Karen is the absolute BEST at what she does! My husband and I live in Florida, but we still own a home in Virginia. When we decided to sell our home in Va, we contacted Karen and she immediately got the process rolling. We have never sold a house before, so we were clueless about what to do. Karen took care of every little detail and aspect of selling our home. She constantly assured us that everything would be ok. Karen also made a point of keeping us informed of what was going on. She really made it such a painless process. We have already determined that Karen will be our realtor whenever we decide to move back to Virginia! I’d highly recommend Karen for your home buying/selling needs. Thanks for everything Karen!
After patiently searching for 2 years for 'our dream home with a water view’, we finally found the right home at the right price. This was a difficult and emotional transaction as the sellers were unfortunately in a divorce situation. Karen walked into what appeared to be a lost cause and brought clarity and order to chaos. Within 30 days, she sold our home and closed the deal on our new purchase! We were so thankful for her expertise and attention to so very many details. We are living in and remodeling our retirement home now. We highly recommend Karen to help you find or sell your new home. She has become a family friend and we have used her services twice in the past 7 years. We will continue to use her for any real estate needs our family and children may have.
I have looked for houses a few times in the past with other agents but I just wasn't happy with what I was looking at. I was referred to Karen through a good friend. I must say she KNOWS her stuff, takes a lot of time to talk to you about YOUR WANTS, NEEDS AND DESIRES and will make sure she finds it for you. I thought this was going to be a very long, hard and stressful process. I bought my first home back in January, and I would have never believed it was that easy and stress free for me, but that’s only because Karen worked so hard for me. I got everything I wanted in a home, and I gained a lifelong friend and a Real Estate agent.
Thank you so much for helping me to sell my house in just 2 days and for making my home buying experience easy. I will not let any of my friends make a single real estate transaction without calling you first!
Buying a house was one of my two major fears in life. After having Karen as our realtor, I am not sure what I was afraid of. She is great!!! Karen is informed and up to date on everything!!! She helped us to have a STRESS free first time home buying experience. I would recommend her to anyone, especially first time home buyers.
We tried to sell our house FSBO and then Karen rescued us and took care of everything from there. Her marketing skills are excellent as are her people skills. She worked hard to market our home and once sold was very efficient in walking us through all the details and paperwork. She knows her business and thoroughly explains and handles everything to the last detail. I would highly recommend Karen as a professional and would look no further if we choose to move again.
It is clear when working with Karen that her ultimate goal was to get us the best possible return on our investment. It is refreshing to work with someone whose job satisfaction comes directly from helping her clients meet their goals. She has become a great friend."
Working with Karen was such a pleasure for us! She was patient, professional and very knowledgeable about the real estate market in Virginia Beach. We would highly recommend Karen to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in the Tidewater area. This was our second home purchase and Karen made the entire process easy and relaxing and pleasurable. Without a doubt we will certainly use Karen again when we purchase or sell another home. Thanks for doing such an outstanding job for us! You are the BEST!
‘Detail oriented, dedicated, very personable, gracious and giving’ Those are only a few of the experiences you'll have working with Karen on a sale or a purchase of a home. Feel free to ask her about our home buying experience. We were being taken through the ringer when we were purchasing our home. Karen kept us up to date, fought for items that we should have in our contract and really made us feel like we were special. She won't back down from something you need and she will guide you in a direction that is best for you. Trust us, take her advice. She makes it her job to understand what you are looking for. Very pleased clients and new friends!
I found Karen Parr to be a very efficient and knowledgeable realtor. She always returned my calls immediately and obtained the information I needed to help me make the right decision when I recently purchased a condo in Virginia Beach. Karen stayed in touch with me even after the closing to be sure everything was alright. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Thank you Karen for making this sale as quick and painless as possible! Start to finish, the sale was completed in 60 days, which was much quicker than I originally anticipated for an as-is estate sale. Karen Parr coordinated all of the details from security to minor repairs for this out of town seller. She has good connections, good instincts and gives good advice! I felt like I was in good hands all the way through and highly recommend her for the sale of your home!

I appreciate each and every one of your reviews! They help others trust my ability to help them as i have helped you. That trust is needed as the purchase and sale of a home are two of the largest financial decisions most people make in their lifetime. I have the experience and knowledge to provide them all the information for them to make the right decision for their family.
