We used Karen on both ends of our transaction - purchase of new and sale of current. Her patience on the buy was commendable, as we were clearly not certain what we really wanted - other than to get our main living area on one floor. Karen showed us many houses, was very patient, and ultimately we found something that was too good to pass up. On the sale side, we had two offers within ei...
Karen is the best. Found a buyer quickly and offered great advice!

Karen is the Real Estate agent you have always wanted. She is experienced, insightful, professional, and a lot of fun to work with!
Karen was great to work with. Navigating the selling process was new to me and Karen's experience was very helpful in many ways from understanding the market trends to navigating the negotiating process. We started the process with a walk-through to determine what needed to be updated to help appeal to potential buyers. I believe the small adjustments is what helped the unit sell as quic...

Karen Gatta is very knowledgeable in her field. We underestimated how much we could get for our town home and because of Karen's marketing skills, we had 6 offers in under 24 hours of our home being on the market. We closed for more than we expected and the transaction went very smoothly. Karen grew up in the NW Burbs and is familiar with all of the neighborhoods. Karen had a very quic...
This was truly such a smooth process under Karen! My husband and I are first time home buyers and we had a tight window of time to search, identify and close on a home. Karen worked with us seamlessly on getting all the showings set up in a timely manner (at times slotting in last minute showings for the follow morning), guiding us through the negotiation process once we found our home, ...
Very pleasant experience. Will use Karen again in the future and recommend her to others
Loved the fact that you used a professional photographer to take pictures of the house. I believe that made a big difference. The house sold in 2 days!!
