Karen was instrumental in us selling our property as remote owners. We live over 4 hours drive from the property and it would have been extremely inconvenient to make multiple drives to and from the property location to work on the sale. Karen was intimately aware of our situation and worked with us to facilitate our remote situation to get a sale at a market rate with minimal expenses on our part. She was always available at any time to discuss the progress of the sale and her support team kept us in the loop regarding any actions we needed to get done to get a successful sale. The entire team and Karen did an outstanding job in a trying environment.
Karen listened carefully and made a plan with us for our home sale that matched our timing constraints and scheduled move date. She kept everything on track, communicated clearly and consistently, and made the process simple. Her knowledge of the local market and timing advice were key to setting (and meeting) expectations and achieving a quick and painless sale.
As a first time homebuyer unfamiliar with Columbia, I could not have asked for a better realtor than Karen. She was focused on showing me properties that fit my requirements, extremely attentive to all of my questions/requests, and communicative throughout the entire process.
Karen was not only professional, but really listened to what I wanted. By the time I bought my house, she knew just what I didn't like to do (cook!). Would definitely work with her again!
We cannot thank Karen enough for everything she did for us!!!! She was amazing to work with and made the whole process of purchasing a home very smooth and easy. She never made us feel like we were bugging her, and was always extremely responsive. We are so happy with our place- she helped get the perfect home for us and our animals. We plan to stay here for a very long time!
Karen Harned is professional, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable! An absolute pleasure to work with and has excellent communication! Would absolutely recommend.
We were out of state owners and bought and sold this property with Karen's advice and expertise. Karen's is an excellent realtor who has everything needed to assist novice and experienced buyers or sellers. Karen's is an excellent communicator and a talented professional. I can't think of anyone else I would want assisting me in a real estate transaction. 5 star service with proven results. I highly recommend Karen Harned for any real estate deal you have.
My son and daughter-in-law praised Karen Harned's performance during their use of her as a buyer broker in the putchase of their home three years ago. Karen lived up to and exceeded my expectations. My wife and I were not the easiest buyers relocating from Nashville, TN, but Karen always had a smile and was ready to show us additional properties when we backed out of one "almost purchase" after another and even cancelled one contract for good cause. She gave us good advice throughout. We learned to really trust her knowledge, professionalism and instincts. Yes, we will highly recommend her in the future and definitely use her services if we need to purchase another home.
I'll be honest, I have only encountered a handful of realtors over the years who I would truly describe as a "trained professional." Karen Harned is that and so much more. She sold my father's home...twice. And she sold my home in a very challenging market, enabling me to meet my time-sensitive relocation goals. There is not enough space available here to list all of the reasons I will continue to recommend Karen Harned. Suffice to say, there's no unnecessary "artificial intelligence" here; just REAL intelligence from a top-notch professional who understands the responsibility that accompanies those who enter this important field. What's more, Karen brings a generous level of heart and humanity to what can be a highly stressful and emotional process. In short: She. Is. Everything. Thank you, Karen!
I highly recommend Karen Harned. As a seller, I was impressed by her excellent negotiation and coordination between buyers to get the deal done. I previously hired her as a buyer’s agent as well, and she consistently understands clients’ needs and manages transactions accordingly. Professional, attentive, and effective. She communicated clearly and promptly at every step, keeping all parties informed and aligned. Her market knowledge and strategic advice helped maximize our outcome while smoothing potential sticking points. I appreciated her proactive problem-solving and calm, confident approach—she made a complex process feel straightforward. I would happily work with her again and recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable, results-driven realtor.
