Karen Smith
I’m a native Olympian and lifelong resident of Thurston County. It continually amazes me how our community has grown over the past 50 years! Washington is a such beautiful place to have been born and raised!
After celebrating our 25th anniversary my husband Michael and I are excited to enter a new chapter in our lives by working side by side as Real Estate Brokers. Our three sons will all be attending Washington State University in the fall, as we are preparing that empty nest with an exciting new business venture together.
My past 20 years of experience managing our own personal investments in real estate has given me the passion and knowledge for buying, selling and holding property. Smith Castle Properties is our team and while living the dream we endeavor to assist our clients invest in theirs.
I have more than 10 years of previous experience working in the lending, title and escrow field. I’m a former board member, treasurer and past president of the Association of Professional Mortgage Women, Olympia Chapter. While my boys attended school I enjoyed helping by volunteering and serving in many different ways.
Learning more about the history of our great communities while meeting new clients is one of the greatest joys I’ve immediately found in my new career. Every family and property has a story to tell. Michael and I Love to listen to each and every one. I feel blessed and am proud to be a part of all the amazing people I get to work with and meet at Van Dorm Realty each and every day!...
