Karen began her career in the real estate industry in 1998 as a broker in Florida and relocated to North Carolina in 2002. Following an impressive first year in North Carolina as a solo real estate agent, she quickly stepped into a leadership role. Karen spearheaded a successful launch of a regional seller services division and a builder services division for a local firm, served as managing broker for several years, and spent time teaching real estate classes throughout the Southeast Region.

In 2015, Karen decided to partner with Keller Williams. She chose to affiliate with Keller Williams for two primary reasons: the company's values and the many opportunities available to all Keller Williams associates. Karen joined the Productivity Coaching program as a veteran agent, took BOLD for the first time, and had an incredible first year at Keller Williams. In 2016, Karen was honored as the recipient of the prestigious Eagle Award for her local Keller Williams Market Center. She served on the Associate Leadership Council, ALC, for a few years and participated in numerous committees to provide support to fellow associates and her local community.

Karen was inspired to help others find success for themselves just as she had found success at Keller Williams. This led her to seek out a coaching and leadership position and she ultimately landed the role of Productivity Coach in 2018. She later partnered with Elite Productivity Solutions, led by Chip Walton, in March of 2020 and went on to serve as the Team Leader/CEO of the Keller Williams Charleston Mt Pleasant Market Center through 2021. She next became a General Manager/CEO with Livian and returned home to Keller Williams Unified in Mooresville, NC.

Karen eventually decided to go full circle and return to her core passion, helping real estate clients. She is currently a member of The Temple Team and works out of Keller Williams Lake Norman in Cornelius, NC. She is excited to be part of the team and is looking forward to serving all your real estate needs!
