Karen Morgan helped us sell our house in mid-Cambridge in June 2021. She was supportive all along the process. She provided us with excellent advice which made the difference when we prepared the house for open houses or during the negotiations with buyers. She has depth knowledge of Cambridge real estate market. We appreciated she offered some hours of a staging company, and her notary services. Some acquaintances were interested in buying the house and they told us how engaged, clear, and nice Karen was with each visitor. She is an amazing real estate professional.

Karen Morgan was great as my buyers agent, I would definitely recommend her. She is very knowledgeable on real estate and has often noticed issues on properties we visited that I wasnt aware of. She has even advised me against properties sold by agents of the same company, which shows she was really representing my interests. Karen has been very helpful at all stages of home buying, offering support even after closing, and accommodated my needs.

As first time and VERY inexperienced home buyers we didnt know what we were getting into. In stepped Karen who very patiently listened to what we were looking for, what out individual circumstances/timeline were, and who we are, took it all in and came up with a gameplan for how we were going to approach our home search in a crazy, and crazy competitive, market. Karen was responsive and flexible. She always found time to meet at open houses even when we approached her at the last minute. She was unfailingly patient as she answered our questions. When it came to looking at properties she clearly brought her wealth of experience to bear as she methodically reviewed all the pros and cons of a property from the overall location/layout down to small details of mechanical systems/minor defects in plaster work. She then worked with us as we debated whether to put offers in and if so what they should be. She quickly did the legwork to compare similar homes and worked with us to work out what the likely value of a property was with an eye to what it would likely sell for. We were fortunate given the market to secure a beautiful condo with only our second attempt in no small part to Karens excellent advise. Once our offer was accepted she laid out what the next steps were and constantly acted as a fierce advocate for our interests and benefit. Karen is a true professional and made sure she centered our needs first as she helped us navigate this process and I would not hesitate to call on her services again (though were not planning on moving again any time soon!).

Working with Karen made this whole process more enjoyable and manageable than we anticipated. We are first time home buyers, and Karen walked us through every step of the process with great detail, kindness, and patience. She helped us narrow down our search area based on our priorities (price, commutes, school districts, etc). Karen has a wealth of knowledge and experience working in this area. When we were making offers, she always made herself available to answer our numerous questions and give us sage guidance. She helped us make competitive offers within our budget constraints. Once one of our offers was accepted, Karen had our backs and helped us negotiate. She was an absolute joy to work with and we are so grateful to have found her. I would recommend her to anyone looking in the Greater Boston Metro!

Karen Morgan is simply the best realtor in Massachusetts. She genuinely cares about her clients, and she knows how to leverage her extensive knowledge about the real estate market to find the perfect place for you.She understood our family’s needs and requirements from the very first open house. She was extremely professional, helpful, patient, transparent, and reliable through the whole process!

I have worked with Karen both as a buyer and a seller, and I have been so impressed by her expertise, knowledge, responsiveness, and the amount of time and patience to support me through the process. She went above and beyond, and I appreciated her candor and honesty - I never felt rushed, or like she was just trying to make the sale. She more than earned her commission! I look forward to working with her again.

If you have the opportunity to work with Karen, do it.Karens real estate insights and expertise made it possible for me to significantly improve my life three times over the past ten years. Starting as a first-time home buyer, I received Karens thorough guidance through the process. She reinforced and built upon the information I learned in a home buying class. With so many aspects related to choosing the right home, I felt a bit overwhelmed. Karen kept me clear eyed and smart with her explanations and questions. Through it all, at moments when my dream seemed squashed, Karen mixed the right amount of humor, kindness, and optimism to remind me that there was a home that would fit my needs. When it came time to putting an offer on the condo that I eventually purchased, Karens experience and savvy with the real estate market really paid off. I paid a significant amount below asking! The condo turned out to be a fantastic place for me to live for more than 8 years.After I married , it was clear a larger place was necessary. I did not hesitate to call Karen to both help us sell the condo and buy a home. Karen again brought her knowledge and expertise to guide us.For the sale of the condo, Karen spoke clearly about how improvements (paint, refinished floors, repairs to stairs, dents and dings) would increase the asking price, which would in turn give us more options for buying the new place. With her advice and recommendations, I turned the condo into a different place — almost regretting the decision to leave because it looked so great. Her advice brought in about $25K more than we expected!Buying our current home, Karen demonstrated her keen ability to understand her clients. She had known me for years; and within one meeting with my husband, she related to his goals and needs. The process this time was less of Karen teaching and more about her quickly responding to our requests to visit properties. Her knowledge of the housing market, connections through Coldwell, and with other agents made it possible for us to see properties and access them as they hit the market. This skill and, again, Karens savvy led to our purchase of a home for under asking price before the scheduled open house!The home we now live in feels like we have lived here forever. I cannot give Karen all the credit, we generally knew what we wanted. However, without Karens astute, clear-eyed expertise guiding – and sometimes reigning us in – it would not have been possible.Thank you, Karen.

Karen is a full-service broker. She was prompt and thorough in answering all of our questions. If she didnt have the answer, she knew where to find it. She was sensitive to our interests and concerns. She worked collegially with us as well as with other brokers. We really value her commitment and hard work.

I couldnt have asked for a better realtor to help me buy my first home. From the first intro call to closing, Karen answered every question, brought in her network and expertise, and helped me feel comfortable and ready to purchase. Karen has all the characteristics you would look for in a realtor: responsiveness, professionalism, knowledge of the market, and negotiation skills. I learned so much from her and was able to buy an amazing home because of her help. I highly recommend any potential homebuyers work with Karen.

Under pandemic, getting our first house is not easy. But we are lucky to have Karen as our agent. (1) She is very knowledgable. She educated us a lot about houses. She has been very patient and allocated enough time for us to each house tour. (2) Also, she never pushed us to make a decision. Instead, for some problematic houses, she even pointed out very detailed possible issues of such houses. (3) She gave us highly precise estimate on house values and provided very helpful bidding or negotiation strategies. This really reduced our anxiety and stress of making an offer. In the end, her strategies helped us save a lot of money. (4) What surprised us the most is: even after signing the P&S and the transaction closed, Karen is still there to help. She even helped a lot when we first moved in. She gave us suggestions and connections on who to connect and how to deal with different situations. In short, we are very grateful to her.

Karen helped us purchase our first home, and it would be difficult to overstate just how much of a positive impact she had on our experience.Karen was deeply knowledgeable and didnt hold back any minute details for our consideration when she brought us to open houses (and believe me when I say, she brought us to a *lot* of open houses -- we were kind of picky). She helped us think of important factors when evaluating a home, but beyond that she helped us consider what the individual next steps were. Karen talked about how to fix or renovate aspects of the home which needed attention, gave us insights on the effort required, and what our long-term strategy might be for maintenance and improvement.Of course, as first-time buyers, we also had a million and one questions from everything ranging from specifics about a home to esoteric closing process details. Karen always helped answer our questions quickly and completely.When we were ready to place offers, Karen helped us plan out a strong strategy, especially important given the competitive markets. She helped us explore our options and what bargaining powers we had when we put down the offers, and doubly so during the P&S and closing processes.Speaking of those processes, Karen worked extremely quickly and diligently to get us closed on time and without the nightmarish delays and complications of which every homebuyer hears stories about. Things definitely moved quickly, but thanks to her help, they also moved manageably and orderly.Overall, Karen did a fantastic job helping us through our process. She was diligent, insightful, knowledgeable, and helped contextualize a confusing process by taking into account our needs and wants. For me, Karen would be an easy recommend for anyone considering a realtor.
