Client Reviews

Karen is the Queen of patience and possesses a profound sense of what her home buyer wants. We dragged her all over Wake and part of Johnston County in our quest for a new home. She never once showed us a house out of our price range and didn't mind taking us back more than once to the same house. We are so pleased with our house, but if we ever move again we would only look with Karen.

Karen did an excellent job in the sale and marketing of our condo. Everything from the 360⁰ panoramic view presentation to the wonderful staging job of the condo was right on.  She paid attention to the details and always kept us in informed in a timely manner.  She was always very professional and very accommodating, but most of all, we appreciate her warm, friendly manner. As a result of her superb work, our condo sold in less than two months! We’ve worked with other real estate agents in the past, and Karen is at the very top of the list and earns an A+++ from us.

Karen was excellent to work with. She listened to our needs and then showed us properties which closely matched our requirements. Throughout the entire process she kept us in the loop and constantly looked for ways to assist us in the buying process. This was the most professional Real Estate transaction which we have ever experienced!

Karen, you were amazing. You went far above and beyond to help me sell my home. I was so pleased I sold it to someone who also needed the disability access. When the time comes for me to buy again I will definitely be calling you.....Great job!

Karen quickly got a feel for what we were looking for and only sent us potential houses that fit our need for accessability, our price range, as well as the locations we were interested in. She was always pleasant and very patient as we looked for the "perfect place". I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a home in the Triangle.

Working with Karen was a wonderful experience. She has so much knowledge and her help was invaluable during this process. We are so grateful to Karen for helping us find our dream home. I guess the only downside to our new house is that we will no longer be neighbors with Karen!

We loved working with Karen - she is a wonderful real estate professional with a thorough and intelligent approach to your needs. We are very happy with our lovely house in Fuquay Varina, and Karen had dedicated enormous time and effort to finding it! She was there for us weekends, days and long evenings, and she took into consideration every little detail that we wished for. More than that, Karen became a great trusted friend whom we still ask questions about the area!

We were relocating from New York and Karen went way out of her way to accommodate us during our visits to the Cary area, sometimes with very short notice. She spent so much time with us while we were in town, which was critical since we could only look at houses while we were here. We were so lost and confused looking in an area that we were completely unfamiliar with - Karen kept it all organized for us.

Karen was very professional and always there to provide the necessary support. Buying a house is an experience and working with Karen she made the experience joyful and fun. Working with her was seamless process!

Karen found the perfect home for our family. We tried searching ourselves but our searches did not identify the home we ended up purchasing. It is exactly what we wanted and needed. Karen worked tirelessly to sell our existing home (we had an offer within a week of putting it on the market) and help us purchase our new one. Karen worked with us through the whole process providing much need information and support. We’ve been in our new home for 7 months and couldn’t be happier. I have no doubt that if it weren’t for Karen we would have ended up settling for something less than what we have now.

Karen is a great real estate agent. We were very pleased with her determination in finding our first home. I highly recommend her. She was very accommodating and worked around our difficult schedule to find our perfect home. Karen was diligent in negotiations, ensured we had the best property, and made sure we were not taken advantage of. Seeing that we were first-time home buyers, she was thorough in explaining of all of the intricacies of buying a house. She was knowledgeable in the areas we were looking in, constantly giving us updates on new houses. Karen was very patient with us, even when some of our choices did not work out. She also has some great contacts in the financial and legal fields.

Hello Karen,
I wanted to drop you a line to again thank you for all the assistance you provided during the sale of my home in Cary, North Carolina. You truly went above and beyond the call to make this an easy, painless process for me. I’ve worked with various Realtors in the past, but none have demonstrated the level of sincerity and commitment that you showed. Your responsiveness to my questions and attention to issues during the sale were greatly appreciated; since I’m living across the country, this gave me peace of mind which made the transaction seem simple for me.
Your professionalism and dedication set you apart from the rest. I honestly appreciate all the help you gave. In the future, I will certainly recommend your services to anyone in Cary who needs a great Realtor.
Thank you and best regards.

As with other professions some realtors are better than others. The bottom line is who gets the job done. I nominate Karen Barbour for best in class in all categories: honesty, work ethic, and professionalism.

Karen is a truly exceptional. She really listened to what we initially thought we wanted and constantly refined the search by helping us understand what the true “must haves” were in our price range.

She was very internet savvy but she didn’t just generate computer searches. She knew the market both through the internet and because she got out and saw what was available.

She was responsive to my endless phone calls and emails. Usually she responded within minutes. The result of all her hard work and expertise is that she guided us to our wonderful home where we hope to live the rest of our lives.

Oh, did I mention she is a truly kind and generous person, a true grown up and now a friend? I would unequivocally recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling a house.
