Testimonials
“I cannot say enough about how great Karen was to work with. She kept me informed and well advised at every point in the process. She was excellent!”
“My Husband and I met Karen Saffian at least 10 years ago when I had seen a home in our town I was interested in, she was the listing agent. We realized it wasn't the right time for us to actually put our home on the market and go through the process of selling and buying. Karen was so informative and patient with us that I remember saying to myself ~ when the timing was right I would definitely be giving her a call again. A few years later I saw another home we were interested in and gave Karen a call. We pursued the process slightly more this time but still weren't quite ready. Once again we were so impressed with her knowledge and patience. A few years later we were ready and actually listed our home with Karen. I was reluctant to call her this time because she had transferred to the Londonderry office which was pretty far away from us. No worries ~ Karen was there for us every step of the way! The housing market was not favorable for selling our home and it took a lot longer than expected ~13 months! Karen guided us along in this difficult market, tried different strategies and marketing tools to get our home sold. We looked for our new home for many, many months and I think we saw just about every home for sale in Bow during that time! Karen fielded my desperate calls from us with poise and patience. Finally, we decided to put an offer on a home we loved before we found buyers on our home. (Crazy!). A week later we received 2 offers on the same day on our home! Karen advised us on how to handle dual offers and we went under agreement with our buyers. The closing process was less than smooth on both ends, selling and buying, due to factors beyond Karen's and our control. Once again, Karen shared her knowledge and experience with us and truly helped keep our sanity during such a stressful time. We finally closed on both homes and moved into our beautiful new home. We still have many boxes left to unpack which Karen has even offered to help us unpack! Karen is no longer just our Realtor but a lifelong friend we have grown to trust and would recommend her to anyone entering into the Real Estate Market.”
“My husband and I were returning to New Hampshire after many years in the Pacific Northwest. It was through great luck that we met Karen. Karen was attentive and willing to get started. She quickly setup appointments based upon our interests and goals. We found Karen to be well-received by other local agents and felt that we were treated well as her client. In addition to her attentiveness, we found Karen to be knowledgeable about the geographic area, real estate in general, and the local news; all of which helped us to make an educated decision in choosing our home. After an extensive search during which Karen displayed unending patience with our views and wishes, we found the perfect home. Karen helped throughout the search, purchase, and settling in process. We appreciate Karen's diligence, commitment, and ethical approach to her work.”
“We would like to take this opportunity to express to you what a wonderful job Karen did for us. Her attention to detail, promptness, professionalism and interest in our satisfaction is a credit to her and your company. All the facets of new construction, to including a change in lot locations, adding numerous amenities during the building process, and concerns with the building process were efficiently managed and articulated to the builder by Karen. Essentially, once an issue was raised and in Karen's hands we knew a quick resolution was at hand.”
