Here are some testimonials from satisfied clients:

Fabio Coelho
She has the ultimate drive and really gets things landed. She helped me with two properties, twice. My assessment of Karen's ability is fairly simple: IF SHE CANNOT GET THE JOB DONE, NO ONE ELSE WILL..."

Constantin Ritzmann
"Karen did a great job finding us our first house. She was recommend to us by a friend and delivered as advertised. I think we looked at 20 homes in 1 week. She was very efficient. She will be the person I call for any real Estate needs."

Ruth Manlapas
"Karen has unbelievable energy and commitment when it comes to her clients. We had a difficult situation unloading a property and had worked with two other real estate agents that were unsuccessful at generating a buzz. Karen stepped in and blew us away by leveraging her network and expertise of the market. I have recommended her several times since and she has produced great results for them as well."

Gary Parkes
"Working with Karen was a treat! She is very professional and has a great rapport with her clients. It was great to work on a transaction where evyone really liked each other. I look forward to working with Karen again and consider anyone who works with her to be lucky. She is a great Realtor and a terrific person. I highly recommend."

Ameet Tijoriwala
"I know Karen from our MBA days at Thunderbird. While I haven't had the opportunity to work with her in her prior capacity in the corporate world or in her current capacity as a Realtor, I have no doubt the determined, tenacious and hard-working ethic that epitomizes her personality will take her to new achievements and goals. I suspect she is already very successful as a Realtor and I wish her the best."

Patty O'Toole
"Karen has intense energy to apply to each case at hand, and goes over the top to ensure success for her projects, clients, and collegues. Karen's positive, can-do attitude is a pleasure to work with."

Stephen Arnold
"Karen is a highly energetic and enthusiastic individual who truly cares about serving her clients. She makes a tremendous positive impact whenever she is involved in a project. Karen is extremely motivated, which is exhibited by her many personal and professional accomplishments."

Clarence Morey
"I've know Karen for more than 10 years. She is professional, tenacious and energetic. Highly recommended as a business person."

Brooke Gravitt
"I have known Karen in a professional and personal manner for over 6 years. Although I worked in a different group at BellSouth than Karen, she was known as a very organized and immensely capable employee who always delivered. Karen is as driven in her personal endeavors as she is in her business pursuits- being an outstanding soccer player, exceptional photographer, and an active member of her community. Karen participates in a variety of charitable organizations as well as finding time to officiate soccer matches. I would highly recommend Karen as a business partner or employee."

Jake Dorn
"Karen is a dedicated professional whose knowledge of the market, excellent communication and client skills, & attention to detail provide long-term value to clients and business partners. I recommend her without reservation."

Chris Goodson
"My wife and I hired Karen to help us sell my condo in Midtown Atlanta after the unit had been languishing on the market for over 6 months with another realtor. Karen walked through the property with us and gave my wife and I very direct and actionable suggestions on how to make the property more marketable. To make a long story short, we had a signed contract in our hands ONLY 13 DAYS after Karen took over as our agent! Needless to say, we were thrilled with the job Karen did for us. We strongly recommend her and plan to use her again in the future. She's great!"

Patsios Homes
Patsios Homes chose Karen Smyth to sell several of our Brookhaven Homes because of her well rounded real estate skills and go getter personality. She is highly organized, communicative, responsive and handled all of our transactions with a great deal of professionalism. We recommend her for anyone looking for a true professional in the industry!

Will and Erica Stelten
We originally had our house on the market with an agent who is well known in the neighborhood and sold us on her connections and clever marketing. After 3 months and 3 open houses, very few people had even been through the house, and we were very disappointed with the lack of effort of our agent. Though we couldn't be certain if it was just a slow market or the wrong agent, we decided to switch to Karen because a friend had a very good experience with her, and we suspected she would work very hard to sell our house. That couldn't have been more true. Within 3 weeks of listing with Karen, we had more people view the house than we did in the previous 3 months. While we were on our honeymoon, Karen worked tirelessly, and we came home to an offer the morning after we returned. What a great wedding gift! We ended up getting our full asking price, and I believe that is 100% due to Karen's ability to really sell a property. In this market, that is the last thing we were expecting. We will definitely use Karen again to sell or buy a home. Her work ethic can't be beat.

Kristy and Billy Boulware
I've never met anyone with such a great attitude, so much energy and so willing to help others, as Karen Smyth. Karen helped my husband and I find our current house and made the process flow with ease! Karen was the perfect choice for our Real Estate needs and I would not have chosen anyone else!

Kate and Mike Kray
Karen was a friend before the househunting began and quickly emerged as an advocate, who patiently walked and supported us through our first home purchase. Her dedication, knowledge and professionalism were always apparent. She has and continues to remain available to us at any time. Our situation was challenging in that we were trying to find and purchase a home around the birth of our second child. Karen was very sensitive to our needs and made it all come together in a timely manner! Her advice around the negotiating process and closing was all most beneficial. For instance, she fought for a homeowner's warranty to be added by the seller and we have already reaped the benefits and saved money when our furnace motor went out a few months after closing. I would highly recommend Karen for either purchasing or selling your home. We will surely utilize her services if/when we are ready for our next move!

I have done business with many realtors over the years. Mrs. Smyth is head and shoulders above the rest. I am really glad I found her.

Jeff Bergdale
As a first time home buyer, I could not ask for a better experience. I would highly recommend Karen to any of my friends or family.

William and Alison Odle

We chose Karen Smyth to sell our Brookhaven home because of her experience selling homes in our area and because of her technical marketing skills. We were more than impressed with her ability to market the house in many high-tech advertising areas. She is extraordinarily well educated and intelligent yet still has the down-to-earth demeanor which makes everyone feel comfortable and trusting. Her communication with us, other agents, and potential buyers was outstanding. She had our house under contract in a month and closed within two months of listing. In our opinion, she is one of the best agents in Atlanta.

Kelly and Pat Walsh
Karen was more than a real estate agent to our family - she was a friend and great help throughout the process of putting our home on the market, staging, showing, selling, and moving.  We would not have been successful without her and she was easy to work with.  I would recommend her to my friends, family, and co-workers without hesitation.

Fabrice Haubois
Karen, a quick note to convey my heartfelt thanks for helping and representing me for the purchase of my house. Your instincts to guide me along when I needed a bit of "pushing" and to pull back when you sensed I was getting anxious, went a long way in helping me through the stress and uncertainty of these types of negotiations. In short, you helped me make our dreams of owning a home come true.  Your coaching, honest and straightforward, will not soon be forgotten, as it proved invaluable to us. Looking forward to welcoming you in our new home very soon.

Patrick and Audra Doyle
As first time home buyers, we needed someone to guide us through the entire process. Karen answered all our questions and was quick to advise us. Her knowledge of and connection to the Atlanta area is amazing. Without that, we'd still be looking for a new home. Karen was a complete professional who made us feel like we were working with an old friend. She worked above and beyond our expectations. We highly, highly recommend her and will be calling on her in the future. 
 
 
 

Patricia and Bob Campbell
When Bob and I first started to consider purchasing our first home (while planning our rapidly approaching wedding) we got numerous realtor recommendations from friends and family, but no one came more highly recommended than Karen.  She had successfully sold homes for friends with a continuous reputation for professionalism, exceptional customer service, respect, and a positively aggressive attitude.  From our first meeting to our home closing Karen exceeded our expectations.  She brought a wealth of expertise to our meetings, recommended our top notch mortgage broker (who got us the best deal in town!), and always kept our interests firmly at the top of her priority list.

“Karen is very no-nonsense, direct and straight up. She might tell you things you don't want to hear regarding, price, what needs to be done, what the market will bear. I think she has excellent judgment, tho, and trust her.  She won't try to game you and she'll fight hard to get the best price she can for you.”

Shane Harper
“My first time selling a house was a wonderful experience because of one person:  Karen Smyth!! She was patient, and available with all of my questions and in giving me advice.  She gave me the guidance I needed throughout the entire process.  The MOST amazing thing for me as a first-time seller in this housing market:  the selling process only lasted 8 DAYS......MY house sold in EIGHT DAYS in a horrible seller's market!!!!  Thanks again Karen!!!” Shane Harper

Amy Day
Team Smyth was a pleasure to work with.  They were accommodating and patient with my requests of when I was available and as I changed my mind in wanting to purchase a townhome versus a condo.  It was my first purchase and they walked me through the process of obtaining a loan, negotiating a price, understanding the inspection, and closing.  Thanks for being so helpful!

Jennifer and Scott Chancy
My husband wanted to buy our new home on our own.  it was apparent that we weren't cut out to handle the negotiations by ourselves.  he had mentioned that he could call the wife of a college friend of his.  i begged him to call!  hiring karen was the best decision we made in the home-buying process.  every home purchase comes with its problems, but having karen on our side made the process much less stressful.  she takes care of you and your interests like no other!!  if you called, she answered.  if you emailed, she responded quickly.  karen's a no-nonsense agent who gives it to you straight and doesn't waste your time.  and the best part is, at the end of the process, i've made a great new friend!

Nathan Meraz
Hard-working, professional, dependable, competent, and resourceful.  I first noticed Karen’s abilities when I was moving from Arizona to Atlanta. An online rental listing she posted was definitely on a level higher than anything else I came across.  A few brief phone calls was all it took to know I could trust her real estate knowledge and insight.  When it came time to buy a house, she was the first person I contacted because I knew I would get great service.  Karen and Kate worked very hard in the search to find the perfect home, and as stressful as it is to analyze and evaluate home after home, having them at my side when it came time to make decisions was very reassuring. I am glad to have worked with them!
