Abby , a buyer from Fairview Heights, IL
We were first time home buyers and had reached out to a couple realtors before reaching out to Karen. The first ones we reached out to were pushy and just didn't feel like a good fit. We then reached to Karen and immediately knew we wanted to work with her. She was knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. She was always available and got back to us in a timely manner. She made the whole buying experience easy and smooth. I know if we ever need a realtor in the future we'll be reaching out to Karen.

I have known Karen for about a decade now. I was referred to her and she helped me purchase my first home in 2014. In 2021, I called her again to help me sell my home. Now in 2023, yes again I called Karen because this lady is absolutely phenomenal! The market was disheartening but if you have been in this field as long as she has, you know that connections accompany expertise! You will NOT a regret choosing her, in any situation. She is thorough about what work you need to do on the house to sell, and what you would need to do to buy. I will NEVER seek another realtor. Shes professional, knowledgeable and punctual. I am not enjoying my brand new home and I dont believe this blessing would have happened with such speed if Karen wasnt at the helm. Thank you Karen for ALL that you do!!

Bill Bettencourt, a seller from Belleville, IL
Where do I start? Karen is the ultimate professional. She is not only an incredible realtor, but acted as a confidant, a sounding board, a psychiatrist, and a shoulder to cry on for my wife. Her communication was second to none, and she was always there when we needed her, no matter the time. I highly recommend, whether you are buying or selling, that you call Karen. You will not be disappointed. We certainly were not! Thanks again Karen.

Karen worked tirelessly to sell out home and find us a new one. She answered our questions at all hours and made sure we were comfortable at every step. Weve worked with her twice now and would highly recommend!

Robin, a seller from O'Fallon, IL

Karen was knowledgeable, personable, and available throughout the entire home buying process. Without a doubt, we would use her again and would recommend her to our family and friends.

Nan, a seller from Granite City, IL
Karen made the entire experience of selling my home a positive, professional and easy experience. We worked together on preparing for the sale of the home, deciding on the listing price of the home and also to talk me through the multiple offers on the home after the listing went live.
Karen kept me informed every step of the way.
I would HIGHLY recommend Karen as your realtor.

She is truly a trusted expert in the area!
You will not be disappointed!

MT, a seller from Belleville, IL
Karen is the best realtor out there. Bar none. You will regret it if you do not use her. She is attentive, professional, kind, and works hard! She goes above and beyond. To add she loves what she does and you can tell. Stop what you are doing now and have her sell your home or help you to buy one.

Andrew, a seller from Shiloh, IL
If you only read one thing, just know that Karen is just awesome! Since we are military, we have moved in and out of the area twice now. Both times, we worked with Karen to buy and then sell our house. She really knows the local market and the processes well. She is always super friendly, but honest and up front. And if she knows you need help, she will definitely help to make sure things stay on track (either with the other party, 3rd party companies, or on your end of the process). I cannot recommend her enough to everyone! If we are fortunate to move back, I know we will definitely be calling Karen again.

Kevin, a seller from Belleville, IL
Karen is an awesome realtor and extremely knowledgeable within the realtor field and more importantly the local area. I was selling my parents home and I picked her based on previous reviews in particular her upfront information, honesty, and integrity. This is the first house I have ever sold so I knew I wanted someone that would be approachable and be able to answer my many questions. Karen was extremely responsive and was available to answers all my questions during the day, evenings and even weekends. She provided exceptional advice, guided us through the entire process, and helped me with the myriad of paperwork. After viewing the home, she helped me decide on a price based on her extensive experience and knowledge of the current market. We had multiple offers the first day on the market and she helped me to sell the home above our asking price. If you are looking for a devoted professional and someone who truly cares for you then Karen is the realtor you need.

Steph, a seller from Columbia, IL
Karen is an excellent communicator, a problem solver, and knows the market incredibly well. She was direct about the process and what to expect. Her predictions were spot-on. She worked swiftly while offering individualized attention to my property and remained accessible, responsive, and patient with all my questions throughout. I am so grateful to Karen for selling my house so quickly and efficiently. Thank you!

Floyd Hubbard, a buyer from Shiloh, IL
I was blessed to have Karen come into my life when I needed to sell my home. I had to evict my tenant and during the process, Karen was patient and always professional. When my tenant was finally evicted, Karen and I got to work with placing my home on the market for sale. Communicator, she is the best! I made sure I stayed on top of things because I had realized that I really had a realtor that was really involved with helping me sell my home. My home was placed on the market in Oct 2020, sold exactly a month later. OUTSTANDING!!!!
If you are looking for the right realtor who will communicate, listen to ideas, guide you in the right direction, and put forth the effort to make things happen. Karen L. Cornell is your Lady. She will not let you down.
Karen, thank you for EVERYTHING you have done for me. Even though I was not in the same state as you, everything worked out like clockwork and I have you to thank for that. I wish you much success on your next project and pray that you continue to succeed in your journey to become the best at what you do.

Take good care and please stay Safe.

Floyd

Renee Q., a seller from Belleville, IL
I can't say enough good things about Karen. This was my first experience selling a house and I was lucky enough to have Karen help me sell my aunt's home. Karen is a true professional yet she made it a personal experience. From the first time I spoke with her (she called me), I felt like I knew her all my life. She was wonderful to work with, easy to talk to, and promptly answered any questions I had. She was always encouraging and upbeat and made me feel like I was her only customer. I certainly understand why she is a top-rated real estate agent. Karen is amazing and if you have her as your agent, you hit the jackpot. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again, Karen.

As a military family we built a relationship with Karen before we were even in state through texts and emails- shes great to talk to and it made it so easy once we arrived to look. She is knowledgeable about the area- which was great for us. We looked at several houses and she even viewed a house for us when we were out of state.
