Sarah C. bought a home in Sarasota, Florida

We contacted Karen through a friend and were thrilled that she immediately went into action! After asking me some pertinent questions, we all realized that what I really wanted was a brand new home! We visited three builders in the area and chose Maronda Homes. Karen guided us through the paperwork and then we watched as they put the finishing touches on our brand new, 2-story, pond-front home!! We're now settled in and, looking back, we could not have found such a great home without Karen. My husband and I heartily recommend Karen Jorgensen if you're looking to buy a "used" home or a new home! She has the knowledge and the experience to help clients!

Bob K. bought a home in Orlando, Florida

What a wonderful outcome! Initially,we contacted Realtor Karen Jorgensen from New Jersey to help us find a little house to live in when we came to Disney two or three times a year. After discussing the situation over lunch (and three homes we saw), Karen suggested a wonderful opportunity to have a 3 bedroom/ two bath top-of-the-line condo with all new appliances in the kitchen to stay in AND when we are not there, the hotel will rent it out for us and send us a healthy amount of money from each visit! Thanks to Karen we got the best of both worlds - a fabulous place to live with huge pool, with great restaurants, beside Disney AND a strong investment for years to come! We would recommend Karen Jorgensen to any buyers - she listens and delivers!!

Kathleen G. sold a home in Sarasota

We had to leave this lovely town and return home to Missouri to take care of my husband's health concerns. We talked to Karen who volunteered to plan, organize, and host an estate sale since we have a fully-furnished house at home and could only take home a few prized antiques. The estate sale was a huge success and then our home went Pending in 3 hours!!! Karen stayed in close communication with us through the Pending process and we sold it three weeks later! We would recommend Karen Jorgensen to anyone who wants a professional, dedicated, experienced realtor!

Monica W. sold a home in Sarasota, Florida

We are delighted to recommend Karen Jorgensen as the best realtor you could ask for! We flew in from Wisconsin to sell my parents' home. Since we got them settled in a retirement home near us, we had the major task of getting rid of everything in the home and then listing it. The neighbors recommended Karen and we are so glad they did! She came right away and we decided on a game plan to have an estate sale and then list the home. Karen did all the work for us! We listed the items to sell, and in three days, she had priced everything and advertised the two-day estate sale. My husband was the cashier. We did very well and Karen didn't ask for a penny for all the work she did! Before listing it, she recommended pulling out the carpet in the den where they had spent most of their time and putting down durable tile that looked like wood. With the new den flooring and the lakefront view, it was an easy sale. We couldn't be happier!!

Jesse B. bought a home in Winter Garden

WOW!!!!!!! Great job! Karen was with us all the way from when we first decided to move here to the Orlando area from Delaware last year! We looked and looked and finally she suggested a new build with K Houvanian. It was a great experience!! Love the house and we love our realtor Karen!

Bob H. bought a home in Palmetto

I told Karen that I wanted the impossible - a waterfront place around Sarasota under $300,000. And lo and behold, she found it! I closed on my waterfront condo in three weeks (I had cash) and love sitting on the balcony of my 3rd floor balcony watching the boats sail along the Manatee River. I could not be happier! Thanks to Karen who researched continuously and even stratagized with me to make a fair offer! I'll use Karen again if I ever decide to move away from this paradise!

Vivian W. sold a home in Orlando, Florida

From the moment I met her, I knew Karen Jorgensen could help me. I had been living in the same home for over 34 years, raised my two sons, and now was an empty nester. The house was too big and my family in Georgia suggested I move there since both sons are grown and gone. Karen went through my home and made recommendations as to what needed to be repaired/updated/ packed ahead of time. I had a lot of antiques so Karen and I over the space of three weeks packed over 50 boxes so that they house showed no clutter. Then, when she listed it, we had a cash offer, but I had to close in two weeks!! Two weeks! Karen and several of my friends spent long days packing up the entire house! After closing, she drove me to the airport and I was off to Georgia. I couldn't have done it without Karen's help and expertise. I recommend her highly!

Sissy B. bought a home in Orlando

What a wonder woman! Karen went farther than any other realtor I know! She helped me organize my deceased husband's things, held a garage sale, and even arranged for a dumpster and moving services. She found my new home in Summerfield (by Ocala) and went with me several times to (a) find a home and (b) attend the walk-through and closing. I'll hire her again when I want to move!
