I am incredibly grateful that we were referred to Karen as our real estate agent. Working with her was truly a standout experience. From the beginning, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep market knowledge, and a genuine commitment to helping us find the perfect condo for our needs. She took the time to understand our situation and priorities and made great recommendations that reflected her thoughtful considerations and expertise. Karen made great recommendations and took me to see many condos I was interested in. She never made me feel rushed and always gave me the space and time I needed to evaluate each property. Her insights were consistently helpful, she pointed out details I might have missed and offered practical guidance and suggestions that helped me to hone in on what we wanted, as well as to think out of the box and find the condo that we ultimately purchased. She also provided sound advice throughout the negotiation process and helped us secure a price that aligned with our budget. She also handled every interaction with grace, professionalism, steady confidence and composure. Throughout the entire process, Karen went above and beyond. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Karen as our agent. She is skilled, trustworthy, and truly invested in her clients’ best interests. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a real estate professional who delivers exceptional service and outstanding results.

Karen made a hard process easy and enjoyable. She went outside her usual territory to help me find the perfect home. She was quick and responsive - all hours of the day. She worked so well with the escrow team and the seller's agent that all things were quickly settled. Her quick thinking saved me a bundle on some of the repairs that were needed. I would recommend Karen to anyone wanting to find a home.

Karen Davis is a very experienced and savvy realtor, but her true talent lies in helping you prep your home so it shines like a rare gemstone when it goes on the market. I couldn’t have sold my home so successfully without her guidance and hard work. And thanks to Karen’s expertise, I then found a new home that was perfect for me. Karen is a wealth of information, resources, patience and works hard at understanding what is best for her clients. 10 stars!

Karen Davis and Alyssa Plut provided the best experience I have ever had in searching and purchasing my home. The two of them never wavered in the their efforts even as I keep changing the location and home style I thought I was looking for. They read me like a book, listening, and asking good questions which eventually led me to the home I now own. Karen and Alyssa are very personable easy to talk to and always available. Their follow-up after the offer and acceptance was truly extraordinary. I must say after this experience I count them as friends. Anyone would be well served in selecting them as their realtor.

Karen is an awesome agent! We used her for both a purchase of a new home, and the sale of our old home. She put together an offer within hours after we had viewed the house we ended up buying, worked very well with the seller’s agent, and quickly hit it off with the seller as well. She made our old house look like a million bucks - literally!? I was extremely impressed with her dedication to making the process for both the purchase and sale run as smoothly as possible for us, her professionalism, and her high level of attention to detail in making sure everything was just right. She has put together a fantastic team working with her. The woman she recommended to arrange the financing for our purchase was super-responsive (our first call with her was at about 7 p.m. on a Friday eve), very experienced and knowledgeable, and came up with a creative idea to make the deal happen. Her recommendations for other professionals to help get the old house ready to sell were spot-on, did terrific work and were easy to work with. Karen spent a lot of time with the interior painter coming up with colors for various rooms, which ended up looking perfect. She worked with a gardener to get the yard spiffed up, and even got down on her hands and knees to install sod to fill in holes in the yard. The woman she hired as a stager did an incredible job.? Karen’s photographer was terrific, but despite his fantastic work she had a few other ideas for photos that he did not include (which showed off certain special aspects of the house), so she took some additional shots herself and made sure they got into the online listing.? She and her business partner did a lot of research to come up with a realistic asking price for the old house, taking into account up-to-the-minute market data.?? She kept us calm during the inevitable bumps in the road on the way to the closing, and was professional and friendly and very responsive throughout the entire transaction and beyond.? I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is definitely a rock star.

​Karen helped us buy our dream house in Seattle. I struggle to imagine a better realtor; she went above and beyond. She was extremely helpful through 8 months of long distance searching, giving us live video tours of places all over the city. She got us out of one deal that might have been catastrophic. She stuck her foot in the door to get us the opportunity that led to owning our dream, after the owner had just about decided to take it off the market for 6 months. She is terrific.

Alyssa and Karen exceeded all expectations and I cannot recommend them more highly. To say they went above and beyond simply doesn’t begin to capture the work this team put into selling our home. They were flexible when we decided to move up the listing date by almost two months and provided expert advice on how to stage the home with our existing furniture while living in it. The multiple fun open houses, together with their awesome personalities, enabled them to connect with potential buyers and really sell the special characteristics of the house and our neighborhood. Karen and Alyssa really understand the mid-century modern aesthetic and I am certain that the enthusiasm they helped foster amongst mid-century modern enthusiasts resulted in a higher sale price. 

In addition, as a lawyer, I really appreciated their patience and the respect they showed with all of my questions and concerns, and the diligence with which they ensured they were not crossing the line and providing legal advice. Not once did they tell me not to worry about it because “that’s just the way it’s done” and it’s never been a problem before. Where they couldn’t ethically provide an answer, they were always able to point me to helpful resources. 

Thank you Alyssa and Karen! -K and C Ley
 

 

Working with Alyssa and Karen was an absolute dream. They are knowledgeable, warm, and always professional. We never felt pressured and knew we could trust them to give us their honest opinions about a property. They were great at helping us understand the process and walked us through every step with diligence and attention to detail. Perhaps most important to us was their ally-ship. As a queer couple buying our first home together, it was really nice to know we had realtors who would stand up for us and make sure we were respected. They even went so far as to call a listing agent and complain about their "his and her closets" signage at an open house! Talk about above and beyond! We knew we were in good hands, and when we found the perfect home, Karen and Alyssa shepherded us through the offer, the negotiation, and the closing with frequent check-ins and encouragement. We absolutely love our home and can't imagine working with anyone else.

Working with Karen and Alyssa on the sale of our house was wonderful.  They were great with helping us stage the house and wrote an ad that attracted buyers to our open house.  They worked with us on coming up with a price we were comfortable with. They were very supportive and flexible when the unexpected happened (the roof leaking 5 days before the listing date).  They even helped with some of the cosmetic touches needed to get the house to the place where it showed at its best!  The offer and acceptance process went smoothly and I really felt that they understood us, knew how to market the house effectively, and brought a personal touch to the staging and showing.

I have known Karen personally for almost two decades. I had been toying with the idea of a rental and last summer when Alyssa and Karen held a rental seminar with a local lender, the seminar made renting seem doable, so we decided to dip our toes in the water. I had some reservations with mixing my personal friendship and a business deal. However, both Karen and Alyssa are so incredibly professional that was never an issue. Honestly. The integrity of these two women is praiseworthy. We took our time finding a rental and Karen was very patient with us and not pushy. She also helped pencil out the numbers on what was financially feasible for us and what wasn't. So, we didn't waste our time, or hers, looking at properties that would not work. We originally thought we would buy in Everett or Kent, because Seattle just didn't seem financially feasible. However, Karen knew we would be open to Seattle and so she kept it on her radar. After a few months of looking Karen presented us with an adorable duplex in West Seattle. It seemed too good to be true. Affordable and in Seattle? Needless to say, we purchased our rental and Karen imparted her wisdom upon us, helping us to become landlords. She has over 20 years experience herself as a landlord and that meant so much to us. Both Karen and Alyssa are trustworthy, knowledgeable and not just out to make a deal. We are grateful to both of them for a wonderful purchasing experience.

From a Listing Broker we worked with in a successful closing Fall 2016:

​

Hi Karen and Alyssa,

​

I meant to send you a note earlier.  I want to say “THANK YOU” for your communication, cooperation, professionalism, work ethics, and most importantly, your genuine care for your clients.  From day 1, you guys stayed in touch and checked-in on a constant basis.  During that time, you expressed client’s interest but kept their best interest on mind.  It is difficult to balance between your wish for clients to win and to avoid compromise of their position.  Also, you maintained utmost professionalism and avoided unnecessary pressure on the other party.  I could tell that you really cared about your clients and I’m impressed how well you handled the offer situation.  Your clients are very lucky to have you represent them.  And we are very happy that the home went to a good couple.  Looking forward to a smooth closing.  Thank you.

My husband and I had the great fortune of working with Karen & Alyssa after receiving a referral from a friend.  Although we had talked with a few other realtors, none had immediately made us feel as comfortable and at ease as Karen & Alyssa.  Honestly, it was like talking with friends instead of a

business relationship which for first timers like us, was extremely important.  Karen & Alyssa each bring different perspectives to the table which helps when discussing our prospects and wants.  With each home we saw, I felt as though we were able to view it from all possible angles…almost like I brought along all my friends and family to make the decision.  Most importantly though, they have the unifying theme of being easygoing, informative and entirely honest.  I appreciated that they were able to point out things to consider in terms of possible issues or budget busters as well as opportunities or things to not worry on as much.  It was obvious that they cared to see us in a good home.

​

My husband and I are fairly picky but decisive people.  We were fortunate in the sense that we

knew what we wanted and mostly agreed on everything.  Still I figured that the hunt would take a while given our budget and desired location.  However, Karen & Alyssa quickly provided a pretty constant stream of places to see or consider.  They pushed us in and out of comfort zones to help further define what we wanted within the confines of what we could afford.  Both provided great ideas on how to stretch the budget, how to take on small projects for larger impacts and basically provided us with insight on each property that we both would have overlooked otherwise.  My husband and I were continuously impressed with how they were able to find so many things for us to really consider and vet out.  Thanks to their persistence, we were able to find a house in an area we love, with most of the features we wanted (and all that we needed), with room to expand and under our budget which, needless to say, is absolutely amazing considering the Seattle market right now.  All this within the course of barely two months.  While I know this will not be the case for everyone, I still find that it was truly an impressive feat given the area we wanted and the budget we had.  Although, I appreciate the speed in which we finished our transaction…I do admit that I miss working with these two and can’t wait to have them over to check out what we’ve done to the place.  I would highly recommend this dynamic duo to anyone who is searching for a new home or looking to sell.  They are two in a million!

We met Alyssa and Karen through a chance meeting, and we're so happy we did.  As first-time home buyers in a tough Seattle housing market we were very anxious to make the right decision for our entire family.  They were both insightful, incredibly prepared, and always very patient as we took our time looking for the right house.  Both Karen and Alyssa have very positive attitudes and were very knowledgeable about the market and guided us to the right houses to look at.  When we finally found the right house they worked hard throughout the entire closing process to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. We would definitely recommend Karen & Alyssa as knowledgeable, patient, hardworking and friendly realtors to work with in this competitive Seattle housing market.

After receiving a recommendation by a local lender, we selected Karen and Alyssa and were blown away.  We relocated out of the area a few years back, and once we decided to sell, we were unsure how smooth the process would be from afar.  They were extremely proactive with our property management firm, our existing tenants, and all contractors ensuring the property was ready to sell.  I would recommend this team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

Karen and Alyssa - thanks so much to you both!  The end result is better than we could have imagined in the best case scenario, so thank you for achieving that! We will be more than happy to recommend your services to anyone we know.

Karen Davis was a pleasure to work with! I felt like we were just hanging out while looking for real estate. She is very warm and personable with a lot of interests. It was actually fun. Karen never pressured us and I never felt rushed when another day of open houses didn’t work out. She really wanted us to find the right property. 

Karen is very knowledgeable and was happy to (repeatedly sometimes) answer our questions about the nitty gritty stuff. And when she didn’t have the answer she would find it for us.  When it came to make an offer, I felt very supported. Karen and Alyssa Plut worked hard to come up with the best possible offer and were able to negotiate terms and details, that I didn’t know existed. I would not hesitate to work with Karen Davis and Alyssa Plut again.

My wife and I were on the hunt for a rental property. We had never bought an investment property, and to find one in our price range meant a search that ranged south, to Burien, Skyway, and White Center, to as far north as Everett. For weeks and weeks, we combed the listings, and time after time got in the car to check out yet another neighborhood and another house. Karen was with us every step of the way. She was positive when we were feeling defeatist, and offered great perspective and experience, as someone who knew what to look for in a rental property. She was remarkably patient, understanding, and easy to spend time with. Karen appreciated that this was a big decision and a big commitment. She was an invaluable help in guiding us through the intensity of the current Real Estate market. When it came time to make an offer, she was a great help in navigating that process, along with her partner Alyssa.

With Karen's help, we eventually did find, and purchase, a great property — a triplex in Everett. 

The local Real Estate market can be brutal, and it is great to have someone in your corner that is as knowledgeable, kind, and patient as Karen Davis. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
