Meet Kara Lushear

Helping you feel at home—every step of the way.

I’m Kara Lushear, a Realtor and Real Estate Advisor based in Winter Springs, Florida. I help buyers, sellers, and families navigate the real estate decisions where guidance matters most — buying a first home, selling a longtime home, downsizing, preparing for senior living, or planning a next chapter.

With 20+ years of experience in real estate and home building, an MBA, Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®) and Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) certifications, Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) training in progress, and experience with the development of new-home communities including several 55+ Del Webb communities across Central Florida, I bring both strategy and care to every move.

My goal is simple: to help you feel informed, prepared, and supported before, during, and after your real estate decision.

Kara was fantastic to work with—responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home. She made the process smooth, kept us informed every step of the way, and always had our best interest in mind. We truly appreciated her support and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy!

Great overall experience selling our home with Kara Lushear. From start to finish it was a very smooth process. She helped with the initial evaluation of the home for upgrades, shepared us through them and helped us price the home correctly for the market conditions. Extra marketing helped with further exposure and the open houses made for a very successful first weekend. We accepted an offer 8 days after listing. Have already recommended her to friends for their home realtor needs.
