Having Karin Smith as my realtor was a wise choice.
Relax, I've got this is my favourite Karin quote. From day 1 Karin listened & I felt we were in this together. Karin understood my goals & made it happen. An effective communicator & highly experienced in the market, she delivered seamlessly & ultimately, very successfully. This was my second experience working with Karin & I wouldn't hestitate work with her again.

Relax, I've got this is my favourite Karin quote.
Her deep experience of the marketplace helped her craft an original strategy for our sale, with an unexpectedly great result. We felt safe in her hands, including in terms of engaging with international buyers. Watching her at work during the offer process gave us enormous respect for her professionalism and skill.
Tracy Proke & David Vogt, Pt Grey & Strathcona
We felt safe in her hands
She helped us find our PERFECT condo at an excellent price and was so knowledgeable about sniffing out any potential downsides of places that we viewed. When we sold years later, she managed to get us a price well above what we were expecting! Her attention to detail was commendable. She was professional and approachable. If you need a realtor, Karin is your woman!!!

We have both bought and sold with Karin and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Knowledgeable, conscientous, & calm under pressure- all very important attributes in a realtor. She has a way of advising without dictating. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend her. Her reputation is one of excellence.

I was out of town and she took charge of the apartment and the whole sale process. She’s extremely professional, knows the real estate process, as well as the real estate and design communities, and what ‘look’ sells. She took one look at the apartment, suggested moving a couple of things and recommended a mini ‘budget’ staging. She then brought in a designer for a few ideas, and selected some key décor items from the Home Ingredients warehouse and placed them throughout the apartment. The pictures were outstanding. Karin has her own strategy for promoting and showing apartments which definitely works and shortens the whole process. In addition, she manages the bid process like a truly seasoned professional...

Karin is a fantastic realtor.
Well managed, low stress, yet extremely successful sale. Karin listened carefully to see how we wanted to approach our sale, then kept us informed, & included us in the steps along the way. She shared her experience, then applied her ethical, forthright business approach perfectly to current market conditions & our situation. We couldn't be happier & highly recommend Karin.

Well managed, low stress, yet extremely successful sale.
I recently worked with Karin on a purchase transaction for a mutual client, and the experience was fantastic. She was professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Together, we ensured a smooth and successful transaction for our client. I highly recommend Karin for anyone looking for a top-notch realtor!
Angela Campbell
I recently worked with Karin
However, going through the selling and buying process and the stressors that come with it, Karin was very professional and communicated openly and proactively. We felt great about the fact that Karin has a wealth of knowledge and many years of real estate experience and it was invaluable when it came to our transaction and how the details were handled including the nuances of negotiation. I would recommend Karin to my friends as well as my clients and would have no doubt that they'd be in very good hands. Thanks again Karin for selling our old house so well during this difficult market and for getting us our dream home at such an amazing price.

I've known Karin for quite a while so I was aware that she is very lovely to work with overall.
I recently sold my condo, and then purchased another, and she was there every step of the way to make sure that things went as smoothly as possible. Well before listing my place, she came over and spent some time with me explaining the process, going over a plan, and giving me an estimate of what I could get in the current market. She understood the worry and fear I had about selling first and then searching, but she worked with all the details to make sure that it all worked out perfectly. She if very knowledgeable about what to look for in strata documents to make sure you are aware of what you are buying into. And she is a great negotiator...which you want on your side! She was always willing to answer any questions I had, no matter how ridiculous, and I really appreciated that. This process is stressful even when it all goes well, and Karin made sure to remove as much of that stress as possible. She is a true professional and a lovely, kind person.

Karin is super professional, responsive and knowledgeable about real estate and knows the delicate balance of being able to listen to a sellers needs and apply her experience for the best approach. We had full trust in her capacity to sell our property and promote the best buyers for our space and reaching our financial goal. Fully recommend her for all your real estate desires!

From our first meeting Karin understood what we were looking for and did an efficient job identifying listings with potential.
We relied on her for insight on building history since she knows the development of Vancouver professionally. From early searches to closing the sale, Karin was professional and considerate.
