WELCOME TO MY WORLD :)

Hi, my name is Kara, and I am a Realtor in Aiken, South Carolina. Welcome to my blog :) Yes, it took me awhile to get here, but here I am, and I'm ready to go. Hard to separate business from personal sometimes, I am who I am - I am no different with my clients as I am with my friends. Always honest - always looking out for them - dependable - ethical - loyal...... Ok, so I know you need to get to know me, and you will, but I'm not here to brag on myself by no means. (even though that is what 'they say' to do.)

I like to bake cupcakes, rollerskate and take pictures! I am a football girl, I like the St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs :)

I grew up in New Jersey, and lived there most of my life. (pleeeeease don't say Joysey!!) Small town. North Western part of the state. I love being a Jersey girl. Jersey will be in my heart forever. I've been in Aiken sinced 1996 and wish I had moved here sooner. Seriously! It is one of the prettiest little towns. I'll have to write a post on 'why I love Aiken'.

I AM A REALTOR! I have been a member of the Aiken Board of Realtors - Education Committee 2006-2008, and served on the ABOR Grievance Committee in '09.- '11. I also served at the State level for grievance hearings in 2011/2012, 2013/2014 and it is an honor to be asked to serve again for 2015/2016. I feel very honored to have been selected for this position, and I am hoping for another VERY SLOOOOW year, haha -- let's all play by the rules - ok guys!?

I've been involved in real estate in some way, shape or form since 1996 - but have been a SC Licensed Real Estate Agent and a Realtor since 2006. Working as an assistant for many years, I learned from the best in the business!

I loved doing the administrative stuff, keeping things organized. No problem for me, I'm a Virgo, haha. I love meeting new people and showing them around this great city, too. I'm no longer the assistant :) and happy to be doing my own thing!!

In 2008 I took some extensive education to earn a designation of "Seniors Real Estate Specialist"and was very excited to put it to work for me ----- after weighing the expense of maintaining this designation, it was with a heavy heart that I chose to let my membership lapse. (it didn't bring us any more business, so why keep on paying for it - times are tough these days, afterall!) NOW REMEMBER - I can help a buyer/seller of any age, but I had hoped to create a specialty niche with the mature crowd. I hate the word 'senior citizen', and I never want to hear it said to me, so I will never use those words here on my blog, again. (I don't even like being called ma'am...and in the South you hear that A LOT) I may be a Baby Boomer, but I'm far from old. And most of the other Boomers I know feel the same way. When does old happen? Hmmm.... sounds like a good blog topic to me, lol.

I'll be posting all sorts of things! I hope you come back and check from time to time so you can get to know me ----and then hopefully when you or someone you know needs some real estate assistance, you can contact me ---even if you/they are not moving to/from my town...I can help by way of a referral. Please come back and get to know me.

I'd like the opportunity to assist you with your real estate needs. Let me find an agent to help you no matter where you are moving to/from ----whether you are buying/selling.

Like I said, my topics will vary, please enjoy :)

Welcome to Aiken :)
