About Karen

Hello! Thank you for your consideration and taking the time to learn more about me. Here's the rapid recap: I was born and raised in Columbia. I came into the real estate business in 2003 after graduating from the University of SC with a B.A. in Public Relations/Business Administration. For the first decade, I worked for a few large franchise firms. In 2013, my husband (who also grew up in Columbia) and I elected to take a leap of faith, and pursued our "American Dream" of opening our own agency where we could have the freedom to provide more concierge style services to our clients based on their needs. We also expanded into property management as a byproduct of our sales business, as buyers and sellers appreciated our level of service, and requested that we offer this option as well. Since 2013, our team and business has grown. Real estate is my passion, and now it is also the family business. We consistently place in the top 5% of our market in sales, but we also recognize that giving back to the very community that has helped us make a living all these years is just as important. For this reason, we started our Homes 2 Harvest Hope program as a part of our business in which a portion of our company's proceeds for each transaction is donated to Harvest Hope Food Bank. To date, we are proud that we have provided over 600,000 meals to those in need. I invite you to learn more about me and my team at: SellingColumbiaSC.com. Our aim at Yip Premier Real Estate LLC is "Making Real Estate Real Simple!"

Karen was our buying in 2017 and seller agent in 2024. She went above and beyond both times; always in contact and truly by our side in the whole process. I would and have recommended her to everyone. Thank you (and your team!) for the superior work.

Karen sold my house in Columbia for me when I married my husband and moved to Sumter. She is an excellent realtor and always made time to discuss each step of the process with me. She is very professional and knowledgeable. I had previously had some bad experiences with realtors but Karen turned that around for me. She and her team will work hard for you and they always helpful and polite!

Highly recommend Karen as the consummate realtor! She and her team have been tremendously wonderful to work through 2 house sales and 2 house purchases just in the last 3 years. She is highly professional, knowledgeable, articulate and just delightful as a person. If you’re looking for the best representation whether you’re buying or selling (or both!), do yourself a favor and meet with Karen first. Houses are stressful, even if you’ve purchased or sold a number of them over the years. Her advice and guidance have been invaluable. She knows the market, the neighborhoods, the players and pricing strategies. Best of all, she values building relationships and has one of the best rolodexes (contact/networks for you younger folks) to help you with whatever you could use a referral for. She’s become a great friend over the years as well. It’s rare to be able to do repeat/personal business with friends. Happy to have met her from reading other excellent reviews online. So paying it forward, we are submitting this honest review.
