Margie Brooks and Karen Skurie were very professional throughout all the ups and downs of selling our very large and historic property. They publicized our property beautifully. Marge and Karen were masterfully adept in negotiations which ultimately got us to the final sale. We highly recommend them to others looking to sell or buy property.
Karen is great. She’s direct but empathetic, very experienced but open to new ideas. Most importantly she is diligent and stokes momentum to ensure your property needs are met. I have worked with her on 3 transactions, and I plan to partner with her again in the future.
Karen was great - thank you!

Karen was absolutely fantastic to work with - she was incredibly responsive with all questions and throughout the process, and was super helpful in guiding us through the process!

See personal letter sent directly to Broker Karen Skurie.
Karen gave extraordinary effort to sell our property in a difficult market. She found potential buyers and had many showings. She found the right one and we’ve closed this week. Hurray!
A pleasure working with Karen - she worked so hard for us
Karen stayed with us through a turbulent market adapting to vastly changing conditions and advising as things changed. I never had to consider if I had the right agent even through these challenging conditions.

Karen is an excellent Realtor. She gave a precise, informative market evaluation. This is when I knew I was in capable hands with Baiird and Warner. Her expertise in marketing our home was superior. Baird and Warner is very lucky to have such a sterling Realtor.

Karen is an outstanding broker. Her professionalism, resourcefulness, market knowledge and friendly, approachable style are unsurpassed. She is a pleasure to work with and remained focused and positive in achieving our goal despite difficult market conditions.
Karen recently sold my house after almost two years of hard work and a few near misses. Working with Karen during this time was always a pleasure. She was there for me 27/7 and was always supportive and kind. This was a very difficult ordeal for me as I started the selling process a couple of months after the death of my husband. I had lived in the house for 27 years and if was very diff...
It has been our pleasure to work with Karen. Not only she is very knowledgeable about the real estate market and gives valuable advice, but she is also very attentive to her clients' unique needs and addresses them in a very professional manner. We'd gladly recommend Karen as a realtor to our friends in the future!
Without Karen we would still be in our old house wondering if we could ever move. Her persistence over 7 years finally paid off when she helped us find the ideal house and sell ours for a very good price. I have recommended Karen to many friends and look forward to trying to send her more business.
Karen was the second realtor I used to sell a townhouse in a very difficult market. She held several open houses and was always available to talk to me. I would have given 5 stars if I got a price closer to asking, but in the end it was my decision based on Karen's good advice.
Karen was beyond a pleasure to work with. She was available whenever we needed her and was very professional in every aspect of our sale and our purchase. Karen was calm and thorough throughout the negotiations. Karen showed us houses for years until we finally found the perfect house and she never made us feel like we were taking up her time. Every meeting, showing, inspection etc Karen...

Karen is the best! As first-time home buyers, she made the process easy for us every step of the way.
