Ashley, Columbia, MO, a seller from Columbia, MO
Karen and Kim were wonderful to work with. They communicated with us through every step of the way with selling our house and explained the processes to us. Even after we moved out of state, Karen and Kim sold our house within a week and helped us get all the closing paperwork completed. They were wonderful to work for and we are satisfied!

Jess, Co Mo, a buyer from Columbia, MO
Karen is the best realtor in the world. She's knowledgeable, helpful and a great person.

Jason B, Columbia, MO, a buyer from Columbia, MO
Karen was extremely helpful with this purchase. We were under a tight deadline when we started the home search. Karen visited with us to get an understanding of what we were looking for and how soon we needed to move in. She proved to be knowledgeable and steered us away from homes that had major issues. Our final selection was more than we could hope for, finding a new construction home ready for us to move in was incredibly fortunate and I credit Karen and her team in locating and negotiating the terms for our new home. I would use Karen again if I'm ever in the market for a new home.

Taya, Columbia, MO, a buyer from Columbia, MO
Karen Harned is an absolutely amazing realtor. She knows the town, has a great understanding of the current market, and has the expertise to make things go as smoothly as possible. She communicates well and is accessible. She was invaluable in helping negotiate some unexpected snags in our recent home purchase, and we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Thanks for helping us get into our dream home!

Dennis, Columbia, MO, a buyer from Columbia, MO

Danny & Janine Coleman, Rocheport, MO, a seller from Rocheport, MO
Karen was awesome!

She did a fabulous job marketing our property. By the third day we had 5 offers!!!

She was great at letting us know what needed to be done at every stage of the whole process. When we had questions she responded immediately. Everything went so smooth and fast and she even made it fun and exciting!!!

We have been recommending Karen to everyone!!!!

Ada and Steven Naramor, a buyer from Ashland, MO
Karen is the loveliest human being and realtor in this area. We wouldn't work with anyone else in the Columbia/Ashland area. She is so responsible, responsive, practical, efficient, experienced, and gives fantastic advice. We had a strict deadline for moving here for a job, and the process would have been stressful if not for Karen. She helped us pick our house from afar with a virtual tour, and we absolutely love it. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else to have assessed the house for us. It was everything that we were looking for, and we had specific criteria. I look forward to recommending Karen to everyone I know, and keeping a long term relationship with her, as she is hands down the best realtor in the area.

Marika A, a buyer from Columbia, MO
We couldn't have been happier with out experience! Karen explained everything in such good detail and in layman's terms. What could've been a overwhelming process was made really easy. She was extremely well organized and planned our house hunting perfectly. She was always on time and spaced the house showings so we had plenty of time to look and discuss before looking at the next home. She stuck to the school system we wanted and was sure to show us a wide variety of homes. When we found our dream home she was quick about making the plans to secure it for us. We were from out of state but she made everything easy to do online and paid close attention to detail. She is also extremely knowledgeable about the area and gave us many food and activity recommendations based on our interests. Besides all of that she is just a lovely person and we enjoyed getting to know her and spend time with her. She really took the time to get to know me and my husband and it really showed. We would recommend her to anyone!

Brian L., a buyer from Columbia, MO
As picky, first-time home buyers in a difficult market, our realtor Karen Harned went above and beyond to make sure we found a house that we loved. She accompanied us to dozens of house showings and gave expert insight on condition of the homes, information about the neighborhoods, and potential improvements to make the space more accommodating and improving the worth of the house. She had expert advice on how to make an attractive offer that resulted in our offer being accepted even though it was not the highest cash value offer. Once our offer was accepted, Karen walked us through each step leading to closing so the whole process was predictable and as easy as possible. We highly recommend Karen as a caring, experienced, and professional realtor that will help find the perfect house.

TranHoang, a buyer from Columbia, MO
I highly recommend Karen! Karen is professional, dependable, accountable and easy to work with . She is an expert for the Columbia housing market and gave great advices especially when referring consultants for home inspection, house warranty and handyman/contractor for repairs. She always available to answer questions or going extra miles to provide additional services if needed. I live in the West but working with Karen to buy a house in Columbia made my life easier and the transaction went through so smoothly.

MYLES, a seller from Columbia, MO
Karen is an excellent realtor. She gives good advice and keeps in prompt communication. Aside from giving the usual recommendations regarding price and local home values, she was able to give me good referrals for handymen who could make needed repairs. She went beyond the call of duty to handle some unexpected issues that came up. I highly recommend her.

Milly Biggs Centralia , a seller from Thompson, MO
Karen has sent us flyers about the market trends since she became an agent even when we were not in the market to buy or sell. She stays active on social media sites to keep people informed on the housing market. She is professional and it shows that she is passionate about her job. Thats what we wanted in a realtor.

We had some unusual things come up with the closing of our property and Karen stayed on top of things. She stood and fought for us on several different occasions with several different parties involved. She got the job we expected done!

Dave Haw, San Mateo, California , a buyer from Columbia, MO
We did a long distance transaction. Karen was like family looking out for our needs in Columbia. Excellent service, fast, friendly, dependable... everything you want all in one.

Karen will be our go-to person when we decide to sell.

Cecelia Dunbar, Columbia, MO, a buyer from Columbia, MO
Karen kept me informed all along the way and handled her work promptly and professionally.

Megan McCracken: Columbia, Missouri, a buyer from Columbia, MO
I highly recommend Karen Harned for anyone buying a home in the Columbia area. She is knowledgeable about the area, is exceptionally professional, and has excellent attention to detail. She really listened to my husband and I. We had a limited time to look for a home before moving across the country. Karen communicated with us multiple times before we came to look and we were able to find our dream home in just one weekend of home searching. She was then extremely helpful throughout the entire home buying process.

Salanski family, a buyer from Columbia, MO
Results driven, which we expected and appreciated.

Joy Alexander, Memphis, MO, a buyer from Columbia, MO
Karen listened to our investment strategy and found homes that fit our requirements quickly. She helped us rule out and include homes as they were updated daily for availability. Karen will be the first person that we call when investing in future real estate!

Doug & Jenny Faull - Grove City, PA, a seller from Columbia, MO
Karen was absolutely a God-send when we were searching for a property four years ago for our daughter to live in while attending Mizzou. So when it came time to sell the property this spring, we didn't hesitate in contacting her. She was always reliable; always honest; always a joy to work with; and always came through for us!

Paul Hoffman (formerly of Columbia MO), a seller from Columbia, MO
We couldn't have found a better agent to help with our original purchase (and then this resale of our home 2.5 years later).

Karen was a consummate professional. Her knowledge of the market, builder quality and growth was instrumental in making our decision to have her help with our resale. She went out of her way to make us comfortable during the entire process. By working collaboratively with us, she asked questions to help ensure she understood what we were looking for in the sale (home highlights, price, timing, etc.).

The end result - Karen orchestrated a successful sale in which both the seller (us) and the new buyer could look to as a "win". For us, moving on and for the buyer - moving in.

I have worked with many professionals in my 40+ years of business. Karen ranks near the top of that list. Without reservation, I most strongly recommend having Karen Harned as your next real estate agent.

NM, Columbia, MO, a seller from Columbia, MO
Karen's work is impeccable, you can trust that deadlines and details are attended to by her. Her demeanor is the most professional I've encountered, and this is the 11th house I've sold.
She tells you what you may not want to hear, but need to know in order to sell your home in a nice way. She knows the market, what a home needs to look like and have done in order to sell quickly and at the best price.
I feel fortunate to have worked with her. I don't want to move again, but if I ever do, she will have my business.

Desiree and Erica, Columbia, a buyer from Columbia, MO
Karen Harned was exceptional! She was always friendly and welcoming and full of good advice. She also knew the area extremely well and recommended plenty of things to do and places to go! We were really pleased with everything Karen did!

Melinda Lorenz, a buyer from Higbee, MO
My father-in-law lives in another state and wanted to purchase property in Missouri. He got in contact with Karen Harned. The property was a bit of a drive but agreed to meet with his son (my husband) and all the family here in Missouri to check the property out. She help them get a great deal on the place. So we decided to use her too. We were a lot more picky than my FIL but she took all the questions and concerns we had and made us feel comfortable about buying our first home. We did have some hiccups with the sellers and appraisal, but Karen went above and beyond to make sure everything went though and went as smoothly as possible for us as she could. We love Karen and would recommend her to anyone!!

Victoria Salanski, Lee's Summit, MO, a buyer from Columbia, MO
When I was visiting Columbia approximately two years ago my son and I noticed her sign at a home we were looking at. My son recommended Karen and I couldn't have agreed more. She was a true pleasure to work with!

Doug M, Columbia, MO, a buyer from Columbia, MO
Karen was there every step of the way. She considered a broad range of options within our interests and she knew the market. Karen is a professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy agent. We already referred several friends to her who have had good experiences both buying and selling houses.

Sarah Cooper Columbia, MO, a buyer from Columbia, MO
Karen Harned was a dream to work with. We were first time home buyers and rather nervous about the whole process. She walked us through every step in great detail. Karen was always available, and prompt to inform us of changes/progressions in our home buying process. At no point did we feel pressured, we were in the driver seat and she was our navigator. Karen is also an amazing negotiator, and facilitated getting what was most important to us. On top of her representation skills, she is one of the most kind and personable people I have ever met. When we eventually search for a new home, she will hands down be the Realtor we go to. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
2016
Jennifer Harrington, Columbia, a buyer from Columbia, MO
Not only was Karen Harned extremely helpful during the purchase of the house, but she has not forgotten us! She frequently checks in on us to ensure that everything is going well. She is one of our "go-to" people in town when we need recommendations for anything related to home maintenance or otherwise. To top it all off, several months after the purchase of the house, we had a sewer line back up and had issues getting in touch with our home warranty company. She immediately got on the phone with her agent with the home warranty company, who had his supervisor call me directly and our issue was addressed.

Leslie - Fulton, MO, a buyer from Fulton, MO
She was prompt in responding to my inquiry for purchasing a home.

Karen was great to work with. Attentive, thorough and wanted what was best for us.

Karen was on top of her game and always kept us informed of anything that was going on with our purchase.

Dave, Piedmont, MO, a buyer from Columbia, MO
We had a unique need that Karen was able to help us with. We found her resources extremely useful and she was always easy to reach, approachable, and had extensive knowledge of the area. Of particular note is her contacts with other members of the community. On several occasions Karen was able to dig additional information that we needed in order to help facilitate our search and purchase. We would definitely recommend Karen to anybody looking for a residential property in the Columbia area and look forward to working with her on our next purchase.

Paul Hoffman, Columbia, Missouri, a buyer from Columbia, MO
Karen Harned provided superb customer service during our house search. Aware that we had limited time to see houses and make decisions, Karen provided links to properties meeting our initial requirements which saved time and ensured we viewed houses in our price range and desired locations. As we visited potential houses (new and previously owned), Karen worked closely with us as we modified our search criteria. As a result of her hard work on our behalf, we were able to decide on a property, make an offer and close within 60 days of our visit. We are pleased to say Karen helped turn our search for a house into the reality of owing a new home. We would gladly work with her again and recommend her services to others interested in a warm and wonderful home buying experience.
