Kara Shaffer

Real Estate Advisor

[email protected]

 

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 is a Gem! As a first-time flying solo homebuyer, I was somewhat nervous regarding the process of choosing a home that fits my family’s needs, budget and suitable for us long term. Kara was so kind, friendly and easy to work with. She diminished my concerns and gained my trust by demonstrating her real estate and local knowledge while leading me through the homebuying process. Kara followed up consistently, timely and proved her reliability multiple times throughout the process, beginning to end and afterwards as questions came up. I would absolutely without a doubt recommend Kara to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.

Kara Shaffer was outstanding in helping us buy our condo in Annapolis. She knew exactly what we wanted and needed. The negotiation process went very well and we were able to close escrow in a very short time. Kara was fast in returning our messages, knowledgeable in answering our questions, compassionate and caring about our needs. We highly recommend Kara if you are ever buying or selling not only in Annapolis but in the whole amazing state of Maryland!!
