Dogged determination and creativity are essential when maximizing outcomes in today’s market. Karina is dedicated to providing an elevated experience, and creating win-wins to ensure success for her clients. Fueled by experience, Karina has the vision to advise on potential projects to make a house a home, and help you discover investment opportunities. Having “been there” (short sale, fixers, living through major renovations, and DIY flips) Karina empathizes with the magnitude of decisions along the journey, and actively anticipates ways to reduce stress.

A tireless force and savvy negotiator, Karina brings her clients the competitive edge. Always reluctant to self-promote, below are a few words from past clients:

“We got our dream house in our dream neighborhood thanks to Karina”

“She helped us create a persuasive offer within the parameters that worked for us. She nimbly moved us through what's usually a very stressful and complicated process in just a few days. Still amazed.”

“Working with Karina was the best experience we've had in 6 home purchases across the country.”

Karina donates a portion of each commission to Surfrider, as she is truly at home on the beach and in the ocean.
