Karen Somerville Reviews

We greatly appreciated all Karen's hard work. She kept us informed every step of the way. Karen also dug deep into the property's history to make sure we had all the information we needed to make informed decisions. She let us know who we had to contact, ie Insurance, notary, etc, so our purchase flowed smoothly. Not only was Karen very thorough but also very supportive. We highly recommend Karen Somerville!

Karen was amazing from start to finish. She is detail oriented and thorough throughout the entire process with the clients best interest as the driving force. Due to being communicative and options-based, Karen made this stressful process so much easier. I highly recommend Karen for anyone looking for a real estate representative!

Karen was fabulous in guiding us with our move from Vancouver to Osoyoos! We highly recommend her expertise in the South Okanagan market. She is a warm, efficient and welcoming person with lots of contacts and very knowledgeable of the local area. She negotiated a great price for us! She knew when things were overpriced and did not hesitate to point out problem properties. We were specifically looking for a fixer-upper with a defined set of criteria and our search was quite extensive over several different towns. I think Karen was essential in helping us navigate an unfamiliar area and all the nuances that we were unaware of. She was very professional and knew what properties had quirks or hidden things (like easements for the town) and which locations were not ideal (too close to busy areas or too far away from the water even though it looked like it was close on google maps!). She also helped us with local experts like how to contact the town administrators for questions, how to get the surveys for properties and aerial views. We were able to effortlessly communicate remotely using electronic signatures to ensure a speedy process! We are so pleased with our new property! We absolutely love it!! We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking at the South Okanagan.

Karen was the most attentive person I think I've ever worked with. She would answer our calls day or night/weekend or not. She's highly organized and went the extra mile to list all the steps in the transaction, and gave us a heads up of what was coming or what to expect. Since we were not from the area, she also connected us with tradespeople and even a daycare for our child. Karen's service was above and beyond our expectations.

Karen was our realtor several years ago when buying a property, and from that experience we knew she would be our go-to real estate professional. So when it came time to sell, we called Karen again for her unmatched knowledge of the Okanagan market, professional guidance, and superior listing ability. Karen completely took the reins and lead us through the nuances of listing and selling our recreation property, which was especially important in our case because we live out of town. Her insights about the listing price were spot-on and as a result we received offers as soon as our listing hit the market, and sold within 3 days. There are so many things that set Karen apart, but the most important factor for us was trust. We knew Karen would give us great advice, walk us through everything, manage the sale and keep moving everything forward, and she did just that. It was fast, efficient, professional, and we sold over-asking. We couldn't be happier.
