One of the smoothest transactions we've ever experienced. Karen Kinsel's help was very much appreciated in that we have never done an outright land purchase before. Very patient in addressing all of our questions and concerns. She made herself available throughout the entire experience.

Karen has been instrumental with my real estate purchases. This was my 5th real estate purchase working with Karen and they've all gone very well with no issues. I can't thank Karen enough for all her help and expertise. Karen is a great realtor that I highly recommended her for any real estate purchase or listing you may have.

I'm sure having buyers from another state can be challenging and especially challenging right now. However, Karen handled the entire process with ease. She was in constant contact with us through the entire process and we are extremely happy with our new home. August 2020
Many thanks to Karen for taking such good care of us during an extremely stressful time for us. She definitely put our minds at ease knowing she was here working for us long distance. She seemed to sense our stress and worked to ease our minds by always keeping in touch with us throughout the entire process.

Karen is amazing! We found a gem of a realtor who became a friend through the process. Her knowledge about listings and the area are impeccable. She's a go-getter and very kindly shared additional photos and videos of our property while we were in the pre-buying phase. She's a true professional who cares about her clients. We'll definitely buy and sell through her in the future!

We found Karen through the property listing we were looking at. However Karen was very helpful I would randomly text her and ask what I'm sure were crazy questions. She made suggestions on local financing if we needed it. She answered all my questions and concerns. She even got back with me while she was on vacation. We were super excited about the property and she helped sped up closing. We would definitely use Karen again. She was great. February 2020
She was a great help and would recommend her to any of my friend and family

Karen had the listing of the property that we were interested in, but had been taken off the market and leased for a five year term, so we called her and asked for her help in buying the property. November 2019
Karen made an impossible situation possible, and then our reality. We are so thankful for all her hard work in helping us purchase our dream property. She was always available to answer our many questions and she navigated us through all the steps. She is very knowledgable about the Eureka Springs community. We feel that we did not just gain an agent, we gained a friend.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in Eureka Springs or needing to sell a home.

Early on we were concerned that the photographs did not show the size and space of our home well. It needed better wide angle photography. Karen arranged for a professional photographer to take new photos. Within two weeks of the new photos we started getting showings. The new photos made a big difference in marketing our home.

My husband I called the number on the real estate sign in the yard of the property. Karen contacted us right away and met us at the home for a showing.December 2018
When we decided we would like to put an offer on the home, Karen helped us through the procedure even though the owners were out of state. She was persistent in her contacts to the owners and managed to get the answers we needed. It was a smooth process throughout with Karen's expertise.
Karen was very professional and helped to entire process to go smoothly.
Our experience was pleasant and timely. Our expectations were met with Karen as our realtor. I would recommend Karen to anyone who is looking for an experienced person to guide them in the search for a home or property.
I feel at ease knowing if I have future questions about the area I can contact Karen for answers.

Karen is very easy to work with. Our house sold very quickly even before we had a new place to move. Karen made herself available to show us property and her knowledge of the area in both Missouri and Arkansas is a major plus. Her being able to show us property in both states was extremely important to us. Thank you Karen for all you did to help us sell and purchase our new place.

I have dealt with Karen for many years. She is knowledgeable and makes herself available whenever needed. She will get an answer to any questions if she doesn't already know the answer. Being so close to the state line in Missouri and Arkansas, Karen has an advantage that other realtor don't have. We have bought and sold property in both states and only need her as our realtor. December 2018
I would recommend Karen to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Thank you Karen Kinsel for another great sale and looking forward to continue this relationship.

Karen was wonderful at helping us through this process, and went beyond our expectations. With this being a second home, and not living in the area full time, she was very helpful with finding potential contractors and expediting some repair work. She was also patient in dealing with our technical challenges in performing functions electronically, like signatures. Communications is key and she kept us very informed during the entire process, and worked very hard on our behalf. November 2018
We highly recommend Karen Kinsel for any real estate needs. She communicates often and well, gives wise advise, helps with unexpected situations, stages property in the best light, and understands and can relate to you with the challenges faced when selling a home.

My wife and I were looking to purchase lakefront property on Beaver Lake in Arkansas. Karen Kinsel was recommended to us by a friend and we are extremely fortunate and happy we chose to contact Karen with Century 21 Woodland Real Estate in Eureka Springs, AR. My wife and I immediately hit it off with Karen, which made the entire property search process a wonderful pleasure. Karen's friendly, hard charging, open, frank and joyful attitude was key in the entire process. She spent time talking with us to determine our desires and formulate a matching search plan to fit our needs. We barely even completed a thought before Karen had adjusted to meet our desires. Never did we feel pressured to make a decision. In fact, Karen was ready to continue the search and revisit areas we had already seen, always pointing out possible pros and cons to help in our decision. What a pleasure to have such intuition and drive in an agent! In very short order, due to Karen's insight, we found THE property. On our own, my wife and I returned to the property to have a closer look around. During our look, Karen called to ask if had any questions regarding any property we had seen. Upon hearing we were at the property, Karen was there in a matter of minutes. Karen even had the listing agent arrive very shortly as well to answer our questions. Before we knew it, Karen with map plot in hand was scouring the property through the forest locating survey markers, pointing out items of interest, and discussing facts about the immediate area. This was the moment we decided to make an offer. However, during the processing time before scheduled closing, an issue surfaced regarding a "difficult" co-owner of the community dock we would possibly be part of. As much as we loved the property, the issue had festered to the point my wife and I decided we would not close. Before we officially voided the contract, Karen, no doubt sensing our thoughts, came up with a solution to settle the issue. Due to Karen Kinsel's insight, attention to detail, frankness and personal sacrifice, my wife and I closed on the property of our dreams. Our deepest appreciation and thanks goes to a one-of-a-kind agent and now friend!! Thank You Karen for making our dream come true!! Century 21 is fortunate to have you on their Team!!

We made an offer on this property, but we were outbid. When the deal fell through, and the property was back on the market, Karen immediately contacted us. We made an offer on the spot, and it was accepted within 24 hours. Had Karen not called, we probably would have lost out again. This is typical of Karen's professionalism and attention to detail. She always has her clients' best interests at heart.November 2017
We have bought and sold multiple properties in the Eureka Springs area, and we would never even consider using anyone other than Karen.

We had tried other brokers so we relied on Karen's expertise and the recommendations of others. We do not live in Arkansas, therefore we had to find a agent we knew and could trustOctober 2017
Our property took quite awhile to sale, mainly because of our renters. Karen never failed to communicate and help in every way. We needed so much advice and Karen never let us down.
So very glad Karen stuck with us. We were sure she would get frustrated, but she didn't!
Thank you Karen for all you have done, your hard work and your friendship. If ever we find ourselves back in NW Arkansas and looking to buy we will be at your doorstep. Also if any friends or family are in need of a great real estate agent we will have no trouble sending them your way.

Karen is a wonderful agent, honest and straightforward, able to get the job done quickly and painlessly. She knows the housing market and works hard to find the right buyer. She was able to price the house to move, guide us thru the showing, and walk us thru the negotiating process. She went above and beyond in her efforts to get the house sold, and, despite our doubts, was able to get the house sold within a few weeks of listing. We would definitely use Karen again and again.

Karen was recommended to us by a friend when we were first looking at June 2017
property in the Eureka Springs area. She was fantastic in her approach
and provided us with a great selection of properties for us to
consider. Through a change turn of events involving my family, we actually ended up with a Condo in Holiday Island that we needed to sell. Karen was our obvious choice. With her assistance we got the property staged and ready to go. The condo market in Holiday Island is very much in flux, so marketing was difficult. Karen was always very positive, and certainly went the extra mile to both keep our condo in front of potential buyers, while keeping us from doubting that it would ever sell. When the right buyers did finally come along, Karen stayed on top of every aspect of the escrow, keeping us informed, and insuring that every "I" was dotted and "T" crossed to make closing as smooth as possible. She put up with a lot from us, and I can't thank her enough for not giving up. If we decide to purchase in the area (it won't be a condo) she's the one we'll turn to, and would have anyone interested in Eureka Springs property, to talk to her first.

Karen Kinsel went above and beyond the call of duty in helping us find the perfect land to build our home. She made site visits, conducted research, and answered all of our questions. She quickly understood what we were looking for and helped us find it. She knows the Beaver Lake area like an insider.

Karen's knowledge of the lake is outstanding. She helped us find the original builder and a trustworthy roofer. We don't live full time at the property so had to rely on her judgment and experience with certain people, including the mortgage loan officer. She did not lead us astray. Over 3 years she learned about our likes and dislikes and worked with us via a distance in an effective way. The only regret is we haven't had an opportunity to thank Karen in person.

Karen is by far the best agent i have ever dealt with. In my job i deal with agents almost on a daily basis. I have delt with over 500 agents over the last 30 plus years. When i needed to sell this property, she is the only one i thought of. And sure enough she did not dissapoint me for one second. I don't know of any one in N.W. Ark who has more knowledge, understanding, and love for this area and her job. Ifg you want the very best, then you call Karen, set back and let her do what she does best.
