Most real estate agents love to tell you about all their professional awards to show off their skill and experience– as well they should! But, I operate a little differently. I am far prouder of another type of recognition, namely, my countless referrals and my 90% approval rating on Zillow; what my clients have to say about me and my service is how I have always measured my success.
Since 1985, I have helped hundreds of Saint Paul residents buy and sell their homes, and it is just as thrilling for me now to come through for my clients as it was over thirty years ago. My connection to the Saint Paul area runs even deeper than that – my family first established roots here in 1904. I grew up pedaling my blue bicycle on the very streets where I now help my neighbors find the perfect home for their family.
I have helped buyers and sellers successfully navigate every boom and bust in the market, and I am grateful to continue serving the Saint Paul area. Regardless of your budget, I will go to the ends of the earth for you to make your dream happen. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or one of my many repeat clients, it is my privilege to show you why my track record is no accident.
As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home.
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
Testimonials
" I was so impressed with how professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with Karen was. Especially when we decided to take the home off the market and rent it for a while. I feel like a lot of agents might have fallen out of contact but Karen stayed in touch, helped answer 1000 questions and in the end was a guide and massive help in selling to the person we were renting to. When I look back over the last 18 or so months of my life and the long story to go along with it I can easily say Karen Keljik was the MVP on our team. I really would like to stress the fact that she was the MVP because multiple times she gave advice that worked out better for us than for her (i.e. go ahead and rent vs leave on the market) I can say we had a lot of business relationships where I can confidently say another party really has my best interests in mind and puts them first but I can say that about Karen absolutley. I can and will highly recommend Karen Kejik to anyone who will listen!"
