Karen made my move from California to the Hudson Valley all I could have hoped for, and more. She first found me a temporary perch before I even left California. On arrival, Karen was welcoming and endlessly patient with all my what about... questions about the local lay of the land. Most importantly, Karen found me my dream home - one that ticked every box. Then, as time frames stretched in the countdown to closing, and only a slim hope of closing before the holidays, Karen made everything work! What good fortune to have found the wonderful Karen Volino. Made all the difference in the world!
Karen is very pleasant, sincere and honest. The house I wanted to buy was under renovation and I had to wait until it was finished to close. She knew I wanted to close as soon as possible and worked with the contractor to keep the project moving forward. Higher offers came in even after the contract was signed. Because of Karens efforts, I was able to buy my dream house. Thereshould be more people in the world like her. I definitely recommend Karen and Houlihan Lawrence to anyone looking to buy or sell their house.
When my family and I decided to sell our 2 rental income properties in the Village of Millbrook we choseKaren Volino as our real estate agent. Karens knowledge of the type of buyers that would be attracted to these houses was invaluable. She advised us to make minor renovations and stagethe houses so they would be more appealing to the potential buyers. Karen was knowledgeable both as an agent and a decorator and her professionalism was outstanding. The houses sold very quickly andthe closings wentsmoothly all because of Karen. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone who is looking for an outstanding realtor.
The process of buying our first home was a true emotional rollercoaster. As we navigated all the twists and turns, Karen was there every step of the way to guide and inspire us. She had everything we needed in an agent, including some things we would have never known to ask for; like the technical acumen of a contractor, the negotiating chops of a lawyer, and the nurturing spirit of a mom. Quickly, she transcended the role of real estate agent and felt like a trusted family member who was seemingly as emotionally invested in our search as we were. She actually cried tears of joy with us when she told us that our offer was accepted. We are blessed to know that on our journey to finding the home of our dreams, we also cultivated a new friendship.
I was recently tasked with selling a family home. Karen Volino from Houlihan Lawrence was my agent. She took me through the process from beginning to end. Her suggestions on preparing the property for sale and knowledge of the area market were very helpful and I believe, expedited the process. My concerns and questions were quickly addressed via text, emails and phone calls making for efficient communication particularly when I was out of the area. Karens knowledge and attention to the process was professional and I would do business with her again.
Karen, who helped us to find the perfect weekend home in Rhinebeck, is an outstanding agent. She has a vast knowledge of the Hudson River Valley and the experience to guide someone new to the area, as I was. With a spectacular eye for properties, Karen was instrumental in pointing out the assets and liabilities of listings. She also listened keenly to my desires, and showed me an array of homes that fit the bill. Moreover, Karen is pleasant and professional, and fun to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Karen knew I was looking for an investment property and contacted me as soon as a potential property came on the market. She negotiated the terms and pricing and guidedme throughout the entire process. When I decided to sell the property a few years later, she recommended some updates and most importantly, staging. I got multiple offers and accepted anoffer for over the asking pricein 10 days!Karens very knowledgeable, professional and I look forward to working with her again.
Karen is an absolute pleasure to work with. While her knowledge and skills concerning all aspects of buying, selling, building, renting and financing are very impressive, the best part about working with Karen is her personality. She makes you feel like you are her only client. Shes incredibly diligent, efficient and responsive and always maintains a sunny, professional manner, even when things get challenging. Highly recommended!
Our realtor,Karen Volino, made the search and purchase of our Rhinebeck home easy and enjoyable. She has a vast knowledge of the Hudson Valley and the available market. She listened to our wants and needs. Her patience was amazing asmy husband and I didnt always agree, LOL!After looking for three months, we ended up purchasing one of the first houses she showed us. She knew it was perfect for us. She was attentive to all the details and stayed on top of everything making the closing simple and stress free.
