Karen was amazing to say the least. She helped us during a very difficult process with recommendations not only on how best to market our home but also estate sales and lawyer that made our difficulties painless and quickly resolved. A true professional and great person to partner with.

From the moment I first met Karen, I knew she was the right realtor to sell my aunt's home. Her warm and friendly personality made her so easy to work with! And she is so knowledgeable. She had answers for all of my questions. And great patience as well for those many questions. I would absolutely recommend her.
I would not only give her 5 stars but 10 stars!
Thank you, Karen!!

Karen was our realtor for selling our home and buying a new one! Karen is an amazing realtor but hands down just an amazing person overall. Karen was very knowledgeable with the market and answered all questions we had, her communication was great! She was attentive and always made herself available. Can’t say enough positive things about Karen as a realtor and person! Her kind heart towards her clients is what truly is amazing. Buying and selling a home can be stressful so it’s important to have a realtor that you can trust, knows the market, communicates effectively and cares! Karen is all those things! Highly recommend her!

I used Karen to both purchase my first home and sell my first home. Each experience exceeded my expectations. Karen is very thorough and made sure everything ran smoothly. I was nervous to sell my very first home and she made sure to answer all my questions and put my mind at ease. She worked hard to get me what I deserved and I was very pleased with the end result. She set up my staging and showings and made sure that I got the best offers. I will continue to use Karen for all my home buying and selling needs. She is a person you can honestly trust, which I find hard these days as most people care only about profit. Karen cares about you. Thanks again Karen!! Truly appreciate you!

As a real estate attorney, I can say that working with Karen was great. Communication was prompt and she made my life easy as an attorney on her sale side transaction. She was very caring towards the Sellers and wanted nothing more than to ensure their transaction closed without any issues.

Karen was persistent in setting up places for us to view as the market was incredibly brisk at the time and homes were moving faster than we could get offers in. She took the time to hear our needs and found places and helped us avoid places that were not worth our time. She helped my partner sell a house and used her again to find our current place.

Karen was there for us every step of the way. She made out house sell quickly like we wanted. Very happy with her service.

Edit: I used Karen again, 3 years later. She showed us fantastic options, and I'm very happy in my new home. She knew people that got me the deal I was interested in. Been in here for 4 months now and VERY happy I worked with her! Thank you so much Karen!

Karen did a fantastic job helping my brother and I sell my mother's home after her passing. She made recommendations on some basic improvements we could do to maximize the sales price. We took her recommendations, and she handled all the work with the contractors and the required village inspections. My brother and I both live out of state so this would have been an impossible task for us to do. She regularly sent us updates and often times included pictures of the progress. All in all, she did a fantastic job and got us a much higher price that we expected. She is hard working, knowledgeable and communicates well. We could not be happier with her level of service as she went above and beyond our expectations!

As a real estate broker myself it is so important to have a transaction run as smoothly as possible and with Karen on the other end she has showed me great professionalism in this industry. She was very knowledgeable, responsive and kept me updated on the progress, I look forward to working with her again.

Karen Pickerill came highly recommended by a friend when I first started entertaining the idea of selling my home. I in turn, am also highly recommending Karen as your realtor. She is very knowledgeable and proficient, keeps up with current market trends, and gave great advice for navigating the sale of my home, even when trends were constantly changing on an almost daily basis. I had no prior experience with selling a home and basically had no idea what I needed to do, but Karen patiently and thoroughly guided me through the process each step of the way. Karen was readily available whenever I had a question (and I had plenty) and I found her to be a great person to work with. If you are looking for someone experienced and with the professional expertise to navigate your housing needs, then look no further. Karen is the right realtor for you.

Karen has helped me both buy and sell homes in Villa Park and Lombard. She knows exactly what I am looking for and hand picks listings for me. She schedules plenty of time for showings and never rushes me through. I am impressed with her knowledge of building mechanicals and construction, as well as her ability to see a home’s true potential. I appreciate that she is patient and never pressures me. When I am ready to make an offer, she gives me her full attention and gets it done. We have purchased five homes together and the fact that I am a repeat client really says it all. Karen will advocate for you. She stays on top of all details on behalf of her client right up to the closing.

On the selling side, she has also done a fantastic job for me. She is hands-on with her listings. Her marketing is thorough and wide-reaching. She has excellent communication skills and works well with other realtors, appraisers and lenders. We have closed four sales together and once again, she stays involved every step of the way. Karen truly cares about her clients and is a genuine, nice person. I can’t say enough good things about her, both personally and professionally!

Karen’s communication and knowledge of the real estate industry is exceptional. She is so easy to work with, especially during a trying time of selling my mother’s home, who passed away. She helped me stay on track and was responsive to emails and phone calls making me feel like she was always available. She made me feel more prepared by going out of her way to learn more about Berwyn’s protocols when selling a home with recent renovations, as they tend to be very stringent. I didn’t even need to call the village at all - she took care of it all, making me feel so much more prepared! I can’t say enough of good things about her - she was professional and so helpful from start to finish. I will certainly have her on my side again if/when I’m in the market for selling/buying another home.

Karen is amazing. As a first time homebuyer-there is so much you *think* you know, so much that you just don't know, and so, so much more to a home purchase beyond a listing and an asking price; Especially in this super hot market.

Karen was incredibly patient, informative, flexible with my schedule, and thorough in getting to know me, my budget and what I was looking for in my home. She cares incredibly about her clients and their future happiness, and does not hesitate to answer any questions or explain anything that may be confusing about a house itself, or the process of purchasing one.

I appreciated greatly her honesty and forthrightness--she would not let me buy a bad house! and would not step outside of my budget or try to sell me more house than I could afford.

I'm thankful that she was my agent, and would recommend her services to anyone looking in the area.

Karen made our home purchase a pleasure; she was there for us, she knows the area and really dialed me in to make sure we were happy. !

Karen showed me houses until we decided; she was very patient, considerate, and professional. During the preparation for closing, Karen and her colleagues made sure I had no surprises; they kept in communication with us and requested documentation and that was it.

I recommend Karen Pickerill to everyone in the home buying or selling markets. No doubt, best decision I made. Thanks again Karen !!

Selecting Karen in our first time home buying experience was the best decision we made. Her knowledge and experience were instrumental in helping us acquire the home we wanted in the exact, small ,and in demand location we desired.

In our personal experience we were able to move fast and get in an offer immediately before competing bids came in on the house we targeted. This couldn't have been accomplished without an all-star real estate agent like Karen, who makes you their priority.

If you're looking to get most out of your home buying experience, I highly recommend Karen, who's experience and interpersonal communication skills stand out among the rest. Karen was there for us every step of the way and we couldn't be more grateful.

With this being my first home buying experience I was nervous about the process. I didn’t know what to expect and I didn’t want to be taken advantage of in an industry I didn’t know much about. I asked my friends who have previously bought/in the process of buying about the process and tried to look up as much information as possible before talking with a realtor about this industry. I quickly found out that this industry is continuously changing and it would be better for me to speak with a professional. I connected with Karen through a Facebook post in a group we both belong to. I reached out, we set up a phone meeting and I knew within 2 minutes of speaking with her that she was the right realtor for me. You could tell she really cares for her clients and knew a lot about the business. She helped me tremendously with my search, gave great suggestions and set me up with an amazing team to make it through the finish line. I have heard so many horror stories about buying houses and I can honestly say my experience was nothing like that. It was truly amazing. Karen answered any questions I had (and believe me, I had a lot) and was so patient when I reiterated what she said just to make sure I was understanding correctly. I recommend Karen to anyone who is looking to buy (or sell) a house because she truly takes into consideration that you are still a person and only wants you to find what fits you 110%. Thank you, Karen, for helping me find my first home

Karen is everything a real estate agent should be. Swift, thorough and kind. Once the contract was signed to put the house on the market she was right there guiding the process along with professional pictures,
a ernest marketing strategy, a prompt follow through with feedback from prospective buyers and finally negotiating bids with consideration to both me and the buyer.
It was a fast sale for me with Karen Pickerill!! She is the one you should choose!
