Kara was fantastic to work with—responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home.

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.
