Testimonials
"
"Was a long journey finding a home but Kari never gave up looking and helping. She was always positive. Now, I am extremely happy with my new home. Thanks Kari, you are amazing."
"

"We used Kari to both sell our old home and buy our new house. Anytime we wanted to see a house, Kari was quick to schedule a viewing, which made the shopping process easy and less stressful. We had many questions for the builder in our new home, and she went out of her way to make sure our questions were answered in a timely manner. The paperwork and closing on both of our homes went smooth, and Kari even gave us a little house warming gift after we closed on our new home! I recommend you contact Kari if you're planning to sell or buy a home. She actually cares, which is hard to find these days."

"Highly recommend Kari! She is attentive, patient and very loving. I've come to know her over the past few years and she's never been pushy or overly eager to get things moving. She understood our circumstances and let us know that she was ready when we were. She is beyond personable and pays attention to the little details. Through showings she was kind and accommodating, she was so great with our kiddos! When we were faced with a delay in closing, she was supportive and reassuring. When I reflect on our experience, I can confidently say I have no doubt that she is setting the bar! It's apparent that she's able to meet clients wherever they may be in terms of experience and readiness. If you aren't selecting Kari, you're missing out!"

"I had been renting for several years and was struggling to find the right location and the right priced home to consider buying until Kari went to work for me. She quickly had me viewing homes and soon I was making an offer on the perfect property to invest in. Kari advised me through all the right strategic moves and I very quickly found myself buying just the right sized home in a great location. Kari made every step of the home buying process easy."

"To anyone looking for a realtor, look no further than Kari! She is amazing! She knows everything you could want to know about a potential home or knows when to get the information. We moved here from out of state and she was very accommodating to our quickly changing schedule. She worked with us after work hours to do virtual tours and ultimately helped us find our perfect home! She really is the best realtor in the Black Hills area!"

"Kari is the absolute best! She is kind and positive and an amazing realtor. It was so refreshing to have someone who truly cared about meeting my home needs instead of just trying to make a sale. She listened and was patient, allowing me to take the time I needed to find a home that fit my budget. While in the process of buying the home, Kari gave me wonderful advice and options based off of expertise and experience. She was prompt, responsive and truly made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. I would 100% recommend Kari to anyone looking for a realtor in our area."

"As a couple looking to buy a new home after being in our current one for 45 years, Kari was extremely patient with us in dealing with our indecisiveness and some apprehension in leaving our current home. When she found properties that fit our needs, she was always right on the ball to get us in to see them, which we knew was extremely important in such a competitive market. We were delighted when she found us a wonderful home in a beautiful neighborhood. Thank you so much!"

"So first off, 5 stars are not enough for Kari, she deserves more because she really went above and beyond for my wife and I. As first time prospective home buyers, we had no clue what we were doing but Kari thoroughly answered all of our questions and was SPEEDY FAST when it came to communication. All of her advice and expertise got us a house we both adore. Her ability to work within a tight time frame was absolutely amazing as well. She was able to keep all involved parties on track and got our closing date moved up a whole 8 days! This made a world of difference since our old apartment lease was ending 2 days after the original closing date. If you're looking for a realtor, I recommend Kari 120%."

"Kari did a great job finding us a house. She went out of her way to show us all the listings we were interested in. We were buying the house without being in SD so Kari's help was much more difficult. Even after the purchase she stayed in touch and helped us with moving in and all the questions we had regarding the new place. She is very kind, thoughtful, a great listener and passionate about her job. We are very grateful for her input."

"Kari is amazing! She was so helpful throughout our home hunting adventure. She was always available to help and it was great to have someone so knowledgeable about the whole process. Kari is amazing and will help you find your perfect home!"

"I signed on with Kari blindly simply because she had a listing next door to my sister that could have been a possibility for my move from out of state. While that one didn't work, I continued with Kari because she was kind and just normal...no drama, no weirdness, no red flags at all. Together we found my perfect home. Remember the word "Together" and don't expect your realtor to read your mind. You both need to work at finding your new home. Kari always went out of her way to help since I was out of state. Highly recommend her."
"
- Debbie W.
"
"I couldn't have asked for anyone better to work with. As a first time home buyer, I had no clue where to start or what to do, but Kari was there to help every step of the way. When my first contract fell through due to unseen problems found at inspection, Kari was able to immediately find and direct me to different and more suitable options, one of which ended becoming the house we closed on. I can't thank Kari enough, as she worked tirelessly to help a first time home buyer overcome any worries and conquer the home buying process. I would recommend any home buyer, new or seasoned, to work with Kari."
"

"I recently sold my cabin in the hills with Kari being my realtor. It wasn't an easy sale as it was a forest service lease. Kari went above and beyond to get my cabin sold. I highly recommend her, for I already have to several people, as your realtor. 5 stars!"
"

"Kari was very professional and has strong knowledge of the real estate market in our area. She kept us updated and informed throughout the process and welcomed our input during the sale of our home. My wife and I would highly recommend Kari for any of your real estate needs."
"
- Chad S.
"
"I had no intention of buying a home. I didn't think I could for a few years. Kari invited me to talk and just visit about the future. She took all of my dreams and made it happen. She literally worked day and night to find the perfect home to fit my family's needs. Every concern I had, she found a solution. I'm still finding it hard to believe that it happened. My family is so blessed to find someone like Kari, that legitimately cares about people and wants to make dreams come true. I will absolutely recommend her to anyone that is looking for a home. Kari will make it happen."
