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.

We had an outstanding experience working with Kara as our realtor. From the very start, Kara demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the industry and a deep understanding of the local market. Her dedication to our home search was shown in every interaction. She made us feel supported and valued, sharing in our excitement and quickly sending us relevant new listings, especially when an offer fell through. Kara’s expert guidance on crafting a competitive offer was invaluable, and her efforts led to us to getting our offer on our dream home accepted just an hour after submitting it. Her commitment to achieving the best outcome for us was clear throughout the process. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in finding the perfect home and lifestyle for our next chapter.

Kara has been nothing, but wonderful and accommodating from the start. Always smiling, laughing and personable- took the time to listen and understand my husband and my need being new to the state completely. Thorough, kind and an advocate for us every step of the way. She is who helped us navigate the market here in Maryland with ease, helping us to get the home we have only because of her today. She is wonderful! Cannot go wrong entrusting Kara with your real estate needs and trust! Diane & Crew, Kara - the best!

We are a military family and when it was time for us to leave the area, the Fed had just begun its inflating of interest rates and the housing market was in disarray. Added to that, our house had need of a number of repairs before it was ready for listing; a pretty undesirable situation altogether. Enter, Kara Shaffer! She connected us with the correct contractors, who were all great to work with, and we were able to quickly get the property up to snuff. She was able to find the proper price point for our house, knowing that we had a timetable to meet but still getting us a great price that we were very happy with. She even worked miracles for our buyers when their lender went dark on them and closed its doors, keeping the deal afloat, and leaving all parties very happy. She is, hands down, the best realtor I have ever had the pleasure to work with and has my highest recommendation. You can do a lot worse than Kara, but you will be hard-pressed to do any better.

We are so grateful to have hired Kara to sell our rental cottage. While it was in decent shape after being a rental for 15 years, she had the house looking like a million dollar property with the beautiful staging and professional photography. Within days we had six offers, most over asking price. She was able to find superior buyers and closed the deal within 30 days. She made the whole process a breeze for us! Thanks Kara!

My wife and I worked with Kara on the strong recommendation from our daughter whom Kara helped in finding a lovely Severna Park home several years earlier; we could not have been more impressed. My wife and I were relocating from NJ so our windows of time to see houses were extremely tight. Kara took the time and patience to actively listen to what we were looking for and given her extensive knowledge of the local market she expertly focused our efforts such that each 6 hour round trip was highly worthwhile. When it came time to negotiate a deal she skillfully handled the paperwork and kept all of the interested parties on task and got us our dream home in spite a very tight window to closing. As I said to my wife at the time" "Thank God she was negotiating for us and not against us." Finally, after the deal was signed, Kara helped us with recommending several vendors who have done amazing work for us.

Kara thoughtfully walked me through the entire buying process from how to search to what to look for all the way through my financing journey and close. She was patient with me as a nervous first time buyer, and even worked with me remotely as I did process from another state. I’m so thankful for her knowledge, communication, and the ease she created for me as a buyer. Thank you, Kara!

Kara was so easy to work with, got me over my asking price and made the process stress free (from 2 states away!) I would highly suggest using her for her knowledge and firmness on getting what you want from your sale or purchase.
