She provided a clear and straightforward plan to help us sell our home within our timeline. She made us feel comfortable from the start and was always available to answer questions, since we were new to this process. She went above and beyond marketing our property and had extensive knowledge of the local market to price our home right. We ended up selling our home above asking and would recommend working with Kara to all! Laura, North Reading, MA Kara is amazing to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and her expertise in the process made buying a home very smooth. She offered great advice and tips throughout the process as well. Kara was also extremely patient with us. We took a couple of years and last Ike's at many properties before we were ready to purchase and she was amazing through all of it. I highly recommend working with Kara. Julie, Andover,MA When a job change (just before Thanksgiving!) required a sudden move, we were completely unprepared to sell our home and our stress level was high when we met with Kara the first time. She managed to put us at ease with her calm, professional demeanor. She was remarkably knowledgeable of the area and the current market. We were fairly inexperienced in a sale that involved a relocation company, but Kara was very familiar with the process and was invaluable as she guided us through it and patiently answered all of our questions. Considering the time of year we were listing, combined with the fact that our house is somewhat unique; we didn’t anticipate a quick sale and were braced for a lengthy ordeal and/or a much lower price than we had hoped. Kara struck the perfect balance of keeping an encouraging, positive attitude tempered with preventing any unrealistic expectations. In the end our house sold more quickly than we anticipated and for a very fair price. Our experience with Kara has far exceeded any expectations we may have had. It was always a pleasure to speak with her, she was very communicative, extremely responsive (even during the holidays!) and always punctual. She is quite organized and gives her attention to every detail. We honestly felt as if we were her only clients. We can not recommend her strongly enough. Lisa and David, Groveland, MA Kara Ross was absolutely FANTASTIC. She exceeded every expectation and really made the home buying experience enjoyable. It was a tough market and she was always the positive voice in our corner and had our backs in every situation. We really trusted her and relied on her during the entire process and I am so happy we found her. Mariel, Wilmington, MA Kara really listened to our personal needs, found us the perfect house in the ideal neighborhood.nbsp; She helped us negotiate a challenging purchase contract and, most importantly, aided our families transition into the Andover community and schools.nbsp; Kara's knowledge of "all" Andover is extensive.nbsp; We've moved 5 times and our Real Estate experience with Kara was a thoroughly positive one.nbsp; We would recommend her without hesitation.nbsp; John and Andrea, Andover, MA
