WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

If you are looking at these Yelp reviews and trying to decide on a realtor then well you should just stop looking. We ( my mother and I) sold our grandparent's home in Orinda last month and with her help and guidance, it was an incredibly easy, fast, and seamless experience. First, during our time with her, we enjoyed: Excellent communication throughout the process including emails, texts, and calls. We ...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Fast forward to 4 years after purchasing a home in Lafayette with Karen... we decided to remodel it. Karen helped us find a cute little interim home to buy in Lafayette as an investment as well as to live in while we remodeled the first home. Two years later Karen also helped us sell that investment home. With Donna's expertise in staging, we were able to make it so beautiful. It was only on the market f...

Karen Richardson was very efficient and knew how to pull all the helpers together to help me empty out, organize, store, and update my home. I had an offer within a few hours of the first open house. And I had 11 offers 48 hours later.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

From the moment we met Karen she viewed our house as a home and not just another real estate transaction. This meant a lot to us. Her professional team helped us prepare our home for the market and through Karen's connections, sold our home in 5 days at full price. The process went smoothly from listing to closing. Karen has earned her top ranking in the market!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We recently had the pleasure of working with Karen and her team in the sale of our Lafayette Home. We found out about her from a family friend that raved about her but to do our diligence we interviewed a few other top Lamorinda realtors... we were not disappointed. She is a real person, I think it was her stories about her kids helped us connect but she also was a complete professional and showed up so...

Karen is the best! As first-time home buyers, we would have been in big trouble without her guidance, patience, and total commitment to protecting our interests. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have her expertise and friendship!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Karen Richardson Group helped me sell my house. Her team staged the house which included some light remodeling. They handled the project quickly and the finished project was fantastic. She and her stager have a great eye on what to do to the house to bring out its best. In the end, I was a little sorry to see the house go after seeing what was just under the surface. I would recommend her to anyone wanti...

Professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and responsive are just a few of the many positive words I would use to describe realtor Karen Richardson, who represented me with the sale of my home in Walnut Creek in 2020!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Karen helped us buy our first house in Lafayette. We picked her as a buyer's agent based on her yelp reviews and emailed her. Within a week, we had an offer accepted on a house. I did not expect it to happen so fast. She listened to our feedback on her first few suggestions, and was able to line up some houses for us to see that fit our needs and our budget. When we saw one we liked, she hustled to get ...

Would highly recommend Karen and her reno, staging and sales group.

Great outcome with great effort on Karen's part to secure an amazing 15 percent over asking price twice the average in our market arena. This team was also totally compliant with our current Covid in...

KRG was fantastic to work with. We just sold our home a couple of weeks ago. Karen jumped into the process right away and arranged staging of our home-on them, helped with pricing if properly, knew where to market our home to the right buyers and more.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Karen and her team are phenomenal. We randomly met Karen when we wandered into the Arbor homes that she was/is selling. She was incredibly friendly and told us all about the area etc. and spent quite a good amount of time with us even though we were just window shopping. Fast forward to about a year later, we started really looking at moving to the East Bay and were unsuccessfully connected with another ...

Karen Richardson was a great help in teaching us about Orinda and Lafayette as we were looking to move from San Francisco. She helped us find a wonderful home and negotiated a great deal for us.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Karen and the whole KRG team are the reason we have our dream house. We kicked tires for 3 years, and the whole time they stayed in contact letting us know they were ready when we were. When that day came (about 2 months ago) we had an offer out the next day on a pre-market listing. Thanks to the KRG team and their lender contacts, the offer was accepted and the house that we have driven by admiring for ...
