About Karen
"Enthusiastic, extremely knowledgeable, friendly" and "does whatever it takes to get the job done" are words that Karen’s clients have used to describe working with her.
"Seeing my clients smile at the end of a sale or buying transaction and hearing the words, ‘Well done,’ is what I strive for. That is why I chose to work for Dream Town - we think alike, and Dream Town gives me the excellent professional resources I need to get the job done." She has found that recommendations from her past clients are her best marketing tools.
Karen brings her real estate skills to Dream Town from a successful career in sales. With extensive experience in management, sales, customer service and technology, Karen is at home in the real estate world. Knowing her clients are busy people, she strives to bring them the best sales or buying opportunities with all the details spelled out clearly in the least amount of time.
After being residents of the North Shore for many years, Karen and her husband recently moved to River North. They love exploring Chicago’s diverse communities, taking in concerts at Ravinia and Millennium Park, or spending time with their six children. A graduate of Colorado State University, Karen received her Masters of Arts in speech pathology from the University of Houston. She and her family attend Willow Creek Community Church.
Karen is excited to be the Managing Broker of the newest office for Dream Town Realty in Evanston. Karen has a wonderful group of experienced brokers, and she is looking forward to having clients on the North Shore experience the unique, client-focused service of Dream Town.

Matthew L.South Loop Karen did an exceptional job selling our condo in the Chicago South loop. Because of Karen's market knowledge and real estate expertise, we received 5 competitive offers within the first 48 hours of listing the property, and we sold the property above our list price with a 3 week close period. Needless to say, we were thrilled with the outcome! Karen was also very responsive and diligently walked us through the entire process start to finish. I would give her my highest recommendation to my close friends and family and I look forward to working with her again in the future on other real estate transactions.
