Client Testimonials

We have bought and sold 7 or 8 homes in our lifetime. We have been fortunate to have mostly great real estate support, but Karen Brown is the best ever!

Paul & Pam DeLacey

We listed a home with Karen Brown in Burnt Store Isles. Though it was difficult times for sales of any real estate, Karen sold our home. She held multiple open houses, gave us suggestions for improvement, followed up on showings and gave us on-going feed-back. She was a pleasure to work with and we now consider Karen a friend. The best!

Jay & Joy Wilson

We are so pleased to have had the professional help from Karen Brown. From the beginning to end she made it so easy for us to sell our home. Again thank you.

Helen & Harold Wilkins

Buying a house from Karen was such a hassle-free experience. She was efficient and professional all the way. Realizing our ambivalence being new to the area and not quite ready to be Floridians in the truest sense, we never felt pressured but instead was thoroughly guided into picking just the right home for our family. Thanks to her, when we reached our decision on a particular house, she was there and we felt that she was our advocate even to the end. We are very happy and will recommend her to any of our friends or relatives.
Elias & Tita Quintos

We purchased a home in the historic district of Punta Gorda and used Karen's services to help us. Karen maintained professionalism in trying circumstances and knew when to push to get things done. We became repeat customers because of the outstanding service we received from Karen. When we we needed to sell our estate home in Arcadia, we never considered anyone else. She never disappoints. Her follow through and professional demeanor is outstanding. We unconditionally refer clients to Karen!
Janet & Richard Wilcox

A trusted recommendation is a valuable way to identify the real estate professional you would like to have working in your behalf. We are fortunate to have been led to Karen Brown at Five Star Realty as we began our search.

Dynamics of real estate now are complicated with conventional, short sale, pre-foreclosure and bank owned foreclosure sales. All of which present obstacles to the process. In addition to those obstacles, we as buyers were very specific in what we wanted, and doing it cross country from Michigan, making it even more difficult. We soon realized how valuable Karen is in identifying properties that met our criteria, and more importantly, acting as our advocate in navigating the mine fiend that the real estate market has become.

As a result of her efforts we were able to purchase the property we were looking for in a very short time. Some would say in record time based on the circumstances of the sale. A sale made possible because of her market knowledge and real estate experience, attention to detail, very dependable communication and commitment to us as her clients.

If you are considering a real estate transaction in SW Florida, you are welcome to use this as a trusted recommendation in your search for a real estate professional.

We sincerely offer to you our highest recommendation of Karen Brown at Five Star Realty.

Michael and Karen Gatlin, Flushing Mi/Punta Gorda, Fl
