Assist with Buying & Selling Residential Real Estate

Karen Braveheart

"I had the pleasure of working with Karen on the sale of my property, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From the beginning, she went above and beyond her original scope - not only drafting the necessary contracts but also stepping in to do what was needed outside of the contract, while guiding me through the entire process as a first-time seller. She was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and responsive, always making sure I understood what needed to be done and why. Karen coordinated seamlessly with escrow and even brought in a transaction coordinator to support us, and her clear instructions gave me confidence at every step. I truly appreciated her professionalism, patience, and commitment to making sure the transaction was legally sound and smooth from start to finish. If you’re looking for an attorney who is both highly skilled and genuinely supportive, Karen is an outstanding choice."
