Five Star Award Winner Karen Lower 2016 | Page 3

client A Little About Karen... With over 15 years’ experience in real estate sales, I have been in the business of representing and consulting for more than two decades; first, as a talent manager and film producer and then as a Realtor. As a result, I understand what it takes to render quality representation (under, at times, high-pressured circumstances) with the utmost of confidentiality and professionalism. Negotiating the terms of a TV contract or movie deal for an Oscar winner is not that much different from negotiating favorable terms for the purchase or sale of a home. The transition from film producer to Realtor was a seamless one. By the time I obtained my real estate license, I had, along with my husband, restored several homes as a “hobby.” Our “date night” consisted of grabbing a cappuccino at Starbucks and driving the hills in search of tear downs. I soon realized that I knew the market better than my own Realtor and decided to transition into real estate full time. As a direct result of my construction experience, I am more equipped than most to help a buyer see the potential of what a property can become, as well as what it will take to accomplish it. My expertise is often requested by property development and investment groups to assist in their development choices as I guide them to stay ahead of the trend cycles, ensuring a positive return in the current market. Whether you are looking to purchase or sell a home, my expressly well-rounded knowledge and fluency in the entire real estate process brings a distinction to my work. I represent my clients with the care and reverence that is tantamount to a successful transaction. The sale or purchase of a home is not just about real estate, but is also about people and understanding and meeting their needs. It is an experience that encompasses many elements, and it is tremendously important that your real estate agent brings an outstanding skill set to the table in serving you, the client. Karen’s award was announced in the March 2016 issue of Los Angeles magazine. © 2016 Five Star Professional knowledge customer service experience satisfaction market
