Trusting Karan with the sell of our home was one great call! Karan was exceptional from the moment we reached out to her to the day we closed on our house. Her professionalism and dedication throughout the entire experience was impressive. We cannot express enough how pleased we were with Karan: her remarkable knowledge of the market, her responsiveness, enthusiasm, clear communication and great personality made us feel at ease and comfortable. Thank you Karan!!!

Exceptional Real Estate Experience with Karan of Florida Golf and Beaches As a newly retired couple with five prior home sales under our belt, we've experienced a range of real estate services, from decent to just okay. That was until we met Karan from Florida Golf and Beaches. Karan was a professional standout in every way. She was exceptional in communication, consistently keeping us informed of the results from every showing and offer. Karan provided detailed stats related to the showings weekly and called us frequently to discuss progress. She took the time to understand our preferences for marketing, staging, and our desired timeline for selling. Her deep market knowledge and strategic pricing advice led to a solid offer within just three weeks, even in a competitive market. When it came to staging, Karan and her team went above and beyond, working tirelessly to ensure our home looked its absolute best for potential buyers. We've never encountered a realtor who was so dedicated and effective. We highly recommend Karan and her team!

6 out of 5 personal service and knowledge of market Karan and her mom Gloria helped us with a primary home purchase in Windermere. We are fro out of state, and really relied on their knowledge of the areas in selecting where to search and how to find the right home for our needs. I think Gloria has been in Orlando realty for 30 years, and Karan many years plus grew up in a realtor family in Orlando and surrounding area. Even Karan's son Max pitched in to take some home walk through videos for us when we wanted to evaluate homes before flying down - very professional videos that captured the homes exactly! Karan was always available - she does occasionally travel West Coast, but we never felt this limited our access - lots of text messages! Excellent insights on evaluating quality, potential for resale, and how to make an offer and negotiate the purchase. Also great advice for vendors to do the post-purchase items we want to make it just right for us! Couldn't be happier, and would definitely reach out to Karan if we need a realtor in the future, altohugh we are hoping we'll be here now for a long time!

Super Performance Under Trying Cirumstances Karan came to us by way of a recommendation from our neighbors who recently sold their home with Karan as the listing agent. Our initial meeting was in our home where Karan gave us her assessment along with some recommendations on changes and upgrades. We took her advice, completed the work, and a month later we were ready to list. My wife and I had an idea of what we expected in terms of price but Karan convinced us that we could get more with the right staging. This is where Karan shines. Along with Gloria's assistance, her talent for making rooms bright and inviting, as well as making the outdoor areas pop, resulted in multiple offers only two days into the first Open House. Once an offer was accepted, things started to go south from the buyers' side of the equation. Since my review is limited by a word count, I will refrain from giving my candid opinion concerning the buyer's agent, choice of lender, and the lender's chosen appraisal firm. Suffice it to say, had they collectively acted with the same professionalism, honesty, and integrity as Karan exhibited, it would have saved us untold grief and some sleepless nights. I mention this as part of Karan's review to underscore her ability to navigate the challenges and negotiate on our behalf to arrive at a deal that ultimately made us very happy. We consider ourselves fortunate that fate and a great recommendation resulted in choosing Karan to represent us. If you are looking for an agent who brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and a great work ethic to buy or sell your property, you would be hard-pressed to find an agent better than Karan. P.S. She also happens to be a pretty nice person!

Passionate and Committed Karan took the time to educate us throughout the process. She demonstrated a commanding knowledge of not only the rules and expectations, but also the people side of the process. She took the time to explain the reasoning from the seller perspective, but also educated us on the buyer side of every detail and how the two are important for a successful transaction. Helping us make the best decisions that we felt comfortable with. Her communication skills shine not only in person with regular updates and discussions, but also in written word with her story telling and detailed descriptions that helped make our listing stand above many others. She is an example of professionalism and an expert in her craft. We truly felt blessed that Karan was not just working for a sale, but working for us. Many thanks to Karan and her team.
