Gary M. sold a home in Waterloo, Iowa

It is rare to find a special professional who goes above and beyond to help you, and Karen Steffes is such a special person. She helped find the perfect condo for my aging parents and walked us through from start to finish. She knows the market, is a joy to work with and just top notch at her job. When it came time to sell our home, we went with the best, Karen and Coldwell Banker Trapp Realtors She held open houses and did showings and negotiated for us. Karen is simply an outstanding realtor in every respect.

Honey D. sold a home in Waterloo, Iowa

HOW WOULD YOU FIND THE PERFECT HOME BUYING/SELLING EXPERIENCE??? I would with two words... Call Karen! Karen has been there for my family from the start. She found us the perfect starter home, helped our friends find their dream home, assisted us in settling into our acreage now, and sold our starter in a FLASH. Ive heard how stressful selling a home could be... but I suppose those other folks didnt call Karen! She doesnt stop at good she doesnt stop at great. She is EXCEPTIONAL. She is apart of our family and we just wouldnt be able to call this place home without her! Thank you for EVERYTHING, Karen!

Jayaprada A. sold a home in Waverly, Iowa

Positive: Professionalism Initially we wanted try selling the house by ourselves I had received just sold card from Karen when her client bought a house in our neighborhood As we were going to sell our house, I held on to that card for her contact info and contacted her. I am glad we found her. We had a wonderful experience . She held lot of open houses and used all the available technology to post the house in several sites and monitored the traffic. Prepared very beautiful brochure to send to all her clients and to provide to the people who visited the open house. When we moved out, she took very good care of the plants and the house. She ended up being dual agent and the way she represented seller and the buyer was very professional. As we moved out of state, she helped us in arranging people to fix minor repairs requested by the buyer, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Provided all the guidance needed and the closing went very smooth. I recommend Karen for any seller or buyer.

Taren B. bought a home in Waterloo, Iowa

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value I would (and have) recommend Karen to every single person I know. She is one of the most amazing realtors and person I've ever met. She found me the house of my dreams and took me to see it on Sunday, the 4th of July. She's very up front about things, no matter what. She has no problem telling you the "bad" things to make sure you make an informed decision. Again, she is sooooo amazing! You would be lucky to have her as your realtor!
