We are experienced real estate buyers and sellers. This closing was by far the most difficult that we have experienced. The problem was not on our side but on the seller side. Karen made the very difficult situation better. She was supported extremely well by the broker ,Todd Hetherington ,who also came in at a crucial time to ensure that the deal would close. Without both of their efforts we could've lost over a hundred thousand dollars. We can't thank them enough.

Karen is the type of agent who works with you, not at you. She really tries to understand your needs and the overall structure of your transaction, not just the details (which she also understands well). She treats you like a close friend and genuinely cares about the result you get. She has a way of making you feel good about the choices you are making, even if they are difficult. At the same time, she provides realistic feedback and options, so you are making informed and intelligent choices based on reality. September 2020
With her combination of local knowledge and experience along with the connections she has, Karen is an ideal broker for the Northern Virginia area. She's a one-of-a-kind and we were fortunate to work with her a couple of times over a decade.

What I really appreciated about Paul was that not only was he very knowledgeable and personable, he was never pushy and didn't not come across slimy and only into it for the money. He also never bad mouth any other realtor. He was very professional, friendly and had an immense amount of integrity. August 2020
since we sold during COVID, things had to run differently. For me, not having an open house was a blessing. He was fantastic through all aspects of the listing and sale. I could not be happier
I have engaged with several realtors regarding the sale of my home on my Key Drive and in my view they displayed all the negative traits of realtors. Paul has all of the positive traits.

My husband and I feel very fortunate that we met Karen several years ago. We are repeat clients as she has helped and supported us on a number of purchases and sales. She has always been available as we discuss future plans for our real estate needs and that of other family members. She's so gracious and generous with her time and advice. It is no wonder she is one of the top real estate leaders (very top in our mind) in Northern VA. We look forward to working with her again in the near future.

There is a whole lot that goes into selling a house after owning it for 30 years. Karen Close just made everything happen that needed to happen. And, throughout the process she remained enthusiastic, friendly and highly efficient. August 2020
Added to the complexities was the pandemic. Karen's constant engagement and creative approaches kept a really fabulous buyer committed until the close.
I'm not sure who the 2020 Realtor of the Year will be, but whoever it is, they just can't be any better than Karen Close and her team!

We had worked with Karen in the past and knew her to be pretty savvy and to know our neighborhood.August 2020
Karen handled our entire sale while we were at our home in Florida and went the extra mile to take care of things that we couldn't from Florida. She provided excellent advice on what we needed to spend to prepare the house for sale and just as important, what we didn't need to spend. We ended up netting more than we expected - especially during the pandemic. iI's hard to imagine that there's an agent more capable or hard working.

We absolutely could not have found and bought our dream home without Karen! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the competitive Arlington market and helped guide us through the home search and offer process. Along the way Karen prepared us with all of her experience and wisdom to make a quick and educated decision given the short offer window sellers are giving in this competitive market. Her local knowledge and network is unmatched in the Arlington single family home market - it seemed like every listing agent knew her by name and had worked with her before! We hope every other buyer chooses to have the same amazing experience we had with Karen.

We were very satisfied with the work Cathy did in helping to sell our house. This was a team effort between all of us, right from the start. May 2020
Early in the process we meet to determine what was needed to make the best impression on the buyers. She brought in a staging/design consultant for additional recommendations which really helped us prioritize the projects.
Once we determined what changes we would make, Cathy checked in regularly on the progress and as new projects were to start she was helpful in providing companies who could take them on or some for us. In the end the projects we invested in helped sell our house and offer a buyer something they could were excited about to live in.
When it came to setting the price for the house and buyer negotiations Cathy was on our side from the start through closing. Actually, we were listed at the high end of comparable homes in the area and even settled on a contract over listing price within four hours of going on the market.
With the high level of satisfaction my wife and I would have no reservations in recommending Cathy to friends, family, and neighbors.

Karen Close is a lovely person and makes you feel comfortable immediately upon meeting her. I met Karen nine years ago when I started my search to purchase a home. I had relocated to VA from MA and was completely overwhelmed! She knew exactly what I was looking for after only a few minutes. I bought the first place she showed me. So when it was time for me to relocate back to MA and sell the house she helped me find nine years earlier, I immediately contacted Karen. I completely trust her judgment and her knowledge of the marketplace. She did EVERYTHING to make the process of selling my home as stress free as possible for me. I wouldn't work with any other broker.

Karen was professional and very attentive to detail both in selling our house and assisting us with our purchase. Her knowledge of the industry and local area was the best and truly helped us in completing this transaction. She is a delight to work with and we will be friends now going forward!

Karen was amazing! She was fantastic to work with - she sold our house in less than 2 weeks to a great young family. We highly recommend Karen Close.

Cathy is a top-notch broker. She is maintains a perfect blend of being extremely professional and warm/caring. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is looking to sell or buy a home. She went above and beyond to make my experience smooth, easy and stress-free. Cathy Medders is a gem!August 2015
As part of Cathy's above-and-beyond, she had a very professional video made of my town house. She added the 'gorgeous inside' sign to the yard sign. She really did a great job in getting potential buyers and finding the perfect buyer.
Top-notch really says it all!

My husband and I were new to the market and Karen helped us to learn the market and find a home that we will love living in. We looked for close to 8 months and Karen was informative, supportive and patient throughout our process. Then, in a competitive bidding situation, Karen guided us along a path that eventually landed us the contract. We will absolutely recommend Karen to others in need of an agent, and would love to do business with her again ourselves (although we don't plan on leaving our fabulous new home any time soon!).

I found Karen to be a unique blend of pragmatic and professional, on one hand, and warm and personable, on the other. As I mentioned earlier, she was persistently upbeat, which a seller needs--selling a house is more difficult than I had thougt. At the same time, she was frank about the market value of the house and what I needed to do to prepare it for sale. This meant that my expectations were realistic and in line with the outcome.

Karen Close knows the business and has the patience of a saint. She helped us find the right house for our needs at this time.

I don't know if it would be possible for me to put into words how much I enjoyed working with Karen. She helped find me my house and it was a no-brainer when deciding who I would use as my sellers agent. Karen's attitude, work ethic, friendship and overall personality are reasons I loved working with her and if I had been staying in the area would have worked with her again in a heartbeat. She made the process so easy and calmed my always present nerves. She is the gold standard and sets the bar for what anyone would want in an agent.February 2015
There is no one else I would have wanted in my negotiating court other than Karen. She fought for me and I am more than confident got me a great deal. She also went above and beyond in dealing with my house fixes and closing since I had moved out of state and was unable to travel back. She is a godsend and I wish she would move to Texas so she could find me my new home and the sell it when needed.
Karen was amazing to me as I dealt with the process from afar. I was no longer in state but she listened to me every time I would call and explained everything to me clearly and in detail. I always felt welcomed by her and that she genuinely loved what she was doing. I know she does and it shows in every aspect of her job. We should clone her.
