Karen is truly the best realtor I could have ever hoped for. I first met her when I was moving to St Louis during COVID. She helped me buy my house virtually, which sounds like it would be a difficult task, but Karen made it a smooth and easy process. Then, several years, later, I contacted Karen again for help selling that same house. The entire process, from the day I contacted her until closing, took less than 2 months. I didn't know it was possible to sell a house so quickly! And every step of the way, Karen was kind, diligent, quick, and efficient. She was available any time I had questions or concerns. I can not say enough amazing things about Karen and Berkshire Hathaway. I'm so grateful that I got to have Karen as a realtor twice!

Karen was very knowledgeable and extremely professional while taking me through the crazy world of real estate. I could not have been as successful in selling my home of almost 30 years had I not had her by my side. I would highly recommend her to family and friends in helping with all there real estate needs.

Karen is incredibly experienced within her field, very reliable and consistent in her thoughtful communication, guidance and support throughout the home buying process.

We were so grateful to have her as a support and we would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in buying a home!

From our initial consultation to the successful sale of my property, Karen demonstrated an unparalleled understanding of the market and a strategic approach to listing properties. She had a knowledge of the local market trends and property values, and then guided me through the process of pricing my home competitively and attractively.
Throughout the entire process, Karen remained dedicated and communicative. She kept me informed about every step of the listing process, provided timely updates on showings and inquiries. Her commitment to ensuring a smooth and successful transaction was evident at every turn.

Karen was helping to guide me through the problems of being a seller, unfamiliar with the house, as the personal representative of the estate of the deceased. She was an excellent advisor regarding what we should and should not do being unable to specify without knowledge regarding the house condition. She assisted me in going through items and recommendations regarding getting it ready for sale, and helped secure a very fair price, and helped until the property closed.

Karen was absolutely fantastic. She was communicative and attentive at every stage. When looking at houses with Karen she definitely had a good idea of what we liked and was able to point out both the positives and negatives of each house with no pressure to buy. She also encouraged us to take our time and we never felt rushed. She also has so many great connections. When selling our house if we needed something done she had a person and they always did a great job at a reasonable price point.
In every aspect Karen tried to make things as easy and convenient for us as possible.

Karen has been truly wonderful to work with. She helped us close in on an excellent house with an excellent deal even during these challenging times of low real estate inventory. She personally guided us into sorting through the properties and as first time home owners, we cant thank her enough for that. Right from the first day of viewing till the closing date she kept us well informed of the entire process and helped us in getting the best rates in the market. She followed through the entire inspection process and made sure our requests are taken care of. She took time in offering her opinion and contacts for the post closure remodeling of the house which saved us a lot of time and money. We are thankful to have her as our realtor and would happily recommend her to any of our friend.

I highly recommend working with Karen Wagner. Her expertise in real estate and friendly demeanor made a huge, burdensome task much easier. She is extremely responsive and will answer any ridiculous question at any time. She pointed out potential issues I would have never seen and saved work at the end. She knows what she's doing. Let her do it and you will not be disappointed.

Karen Wagner is a very competent, knowledgeable, and responsive real estate agent. She was able to help me list my condo in the CWE and sell amidst challenging circumstances - she had been there and done that, and the sale was a whirlwind spending mere days on the market!

Karen helped me with each step of the selling process - keeping me aware of all the tasks that I needed to complete, and those that were to come so I could prepare. As a first time home seller I was full of questions and concerns which Karen always promptly fully addressed. I also became stressed at times and Karen, calm as a cucumber, would talk me down and get me through it - which was much appreciated.

Karen came highly recommended to me by a colleague, and I fully second that recommendation.

Karen was beyond FANTASTIC during this whole process of buying a house. She took care of every concern before I had a chance to be concerned. She educated me about the property and the process of purchasing it, taking as much time as needed to make me comfortable with each step. Karen had the resources and contacts to complete each part of the process in an incredibly timely manner. Her list of contacts seemed limitless and each of them reported to me how much they respect Karen's work ethic and expertise as well how they feel beholden to do the best job for her clients. In addition, she was an amazing advocate for me in every way. I am beyond thrilled that Karen was my agent. The service she provided to me was SUPERB!

Karen Wagner is a very knowledgeable and competent real estate agent. She is keenly aware of the condition of the home market that she serves. She was able to evaluate our home and develop an asking price that was perfect for us, and and the price encouraged several clients to make an offer on the very first day the home was on the market.

Karen helped us with each phase of the selling process, and was a very active participant in ensuring that we were prepared and aware of all the tasks that we needed to complete. Karen also provided us with information on the various contractors that we needed to hire. She was very aware of the time of year it was, and how available some contractors would be . She took the initiative to tentatively schedule some contractors because of the time constraints.

We consider ourselves extremely fortunate that we were able to have Karen as our real estate agent.

Karen is by far THE BEST agent you will find out there. She is always available, eager to help you in any way, she goes above and beyond to find you a place that you love...not only that, but she will also fight for you to get the best deals possible, and will give you advice when needed.
We built a house and she was there throughout the entire process (almost a year long), to the point that she became almost like family.
I would recommend Karen without any hesitation, and only gave her 5 stars because it doesn’t let me give 10.

Karen has flawlessly executed the buying and selling of 5+ transactions over the past 20 years. Her professional, no non-sense approach, gets deals across the finish line. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her representation for all your real estate needs.

Karen was wonderful. She was thorough in helping us prep our house for sale and we got it sold in 1 day! As we are hardly experienced in buying and selling properties, it was a genuine comfort having Karen on our side guiding us through the processes.

Going into the home buying process as a first time buyer was a stressful process and living 8 hours away did not make it easier. Karen packed a ton of home tours into my short visit to St. Louis and somehow understood what I wanted in a house better than I did. She was always incredibly professional and was always quick to respond to questions. From the beginning it truly felt like Karen was on my side throughout the process of obtaining a mortgage, dealing with inspections, and exchanging offers. I cannot imagine going through the process with anybody else. I will 100% be asking Karen to help sell my townhouse when I am moving in the future.

Karen was recommended to us and we recommend her to anyone that wants a very knowledgeable professional realtor. She stays on top of whats on the market. She listened to our request, and made sure we knew what was available in our price range. We are from out of state and Karen was always available to us via phone and email. She was very helpful at explaining how things work and at keeping us on top of what we needed to get done to actually purchase our home. We really appreciate Karen and hope that while she was our realtor, she is now our friend. Thanks Karen for all your help.

I can count on Karen to be honest, reliable and HARDWORKING. This is my third time working with her over 20+ years and the level of trust and commitment from her style of salesmanship is quite comforting. And even more WONDERFUL is all three times the properties have SOLD FAST. She prices property realistically to sell in a timely fashion. And she knows her stuff, it’s a comfort.

Karen was wonderfully supportive and professional. She helped us find and purchase our home when we arrived in STL and she helped us sell our home when it was time for us to leave.
Thanks Karen!

Karen was an amazing real estate agent, definitely the best I have ever worked with. Worked hard to help me advertise my condo and to get a better price than I had ever imagined.
