Kara Shaffer
Real Estate Advisor
Kara Shaffer is a proud Severna Park native with a deep-rooted passion for real estate, particularly in the picturesque Chesapeake Bay area. Her journey began alongside her builder father, where weekends on job sites ignited her love for homes and the thrill of fixer-uppers. These early experiences laid the groundwork for her dedication to client service and a keen eye for a home's potential and pitfalls.
After graduating from Severna Park High School, Kara pursued a B.A. in Humanities at Widener University. Real estate called to her soon after, leading to an exciting career that started in new home construction sales. Over the years, she has embraced various roles, from sales to purchasing with a major builder and eventually becoming a licensed real estate advisor in 2008.
Kara's forte is helping clients find their dream homes, and she strives to make the process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, often with a touch of humor. Beyond real estate, her heart belongs to her family and friends. She loves unwinding with a good book, taking leisurely walks, or immersing herself in musical theatre. Life is a stage, and Kara is here to help clients find their spotlight in Maryland.
As part of the Engel & Völkers family, Kara continues to expertly guide people through the biggest financial decisions of their lives with the backing of a global real estate company known for its white-glove customer service.

Client Testimonials
Kara was excellent. She helped stage our house and gave us several pointers to make it stand out. Kara held an open house where several potential buyers came. One of those potential buyers made an offer and we went to contract after listing our home for 10 days. Engel Voelkers is not only a real estate company that we used to sell our home in Baltimore but also the one we used to buy our new home we are living in Florida.
Outstanding agent and advocate. Kara truly listened to our needs and desires in a home. She did everything she could to ensure a positive outcome and help us close our dream home. Truly a wonderful real estate agent and we are so grateful.
