TESTIMONIALS
"In February, 2009, Karen Earnest sold our home in Groton and assisted us in the purchase of another. Our home was on the market intermittently for nearly two years with other brokerages. Karen was the agent who finally secured a buyer - within an extrememly challenging real estate market. She fully leveraged her internet presence and strong connections with the local community and other real estate professionals. The transaction went smoothly from the outset and all parties were pleased with the outcome. Karen was available 24/7 and always made us feel we had her full attention.
Karen also assisted us in the purchase of our new home, which was a very difficult process with a very difficult seller. At several points along the way, the deal threatened to fall through, but Karen kept things moving despite unusually trying negotiations. At the eleventh house, it appeared that our closing - scheduled for just days away - sould have to be pushed back due to problems with the deed. Karen took it upon herself to make dozens of phone calls and drive all over creation in order to secure the necessary paperwork and signatures - something that no one else (not even the listing agent) was prepared to do. Thanks to Karen's Herculean efforts, we were able to close as scheduled, saving us many thousands of dollars in having to move our household into storage and stay at a hotel while the lawyers took their time in sorting things out. Even our closing attorney remarked that Karen's dedication, creativity, and willingness to go "beyond the call of duty" were soley responsible for enabling us to pass papers as planned.
When it comes time to sell our house again, there's only one agent we'll be calling!"
Sincerely,
Miranda and John H.
"Thank you for all you did to help us sell our home. We interviewed a few realtors. We were certainly impressed by your knowledge of the market and your experience, but, as important, we found you genuine, personable, and very competent. Having chosen you to be our agent, we were most satisfied with your efforts on our behalf.
You were courteous, professional, and upbeat during every encounter, and we appreciated your integrity and insights. You kept in frequent communication with us and your prommptness in returning calls and emails was greatly appreciated. We listed our home in the dead of winter at the height of the housing downturn. Thanks largely to your efforts, our house sold in six months-this despite a couple unforeseen and unusual problems. In resolving these problems, you worked with our attorneys and represented us at town meetings. We are grateful for your conscientiousness and your commitment.
We look forward to the opportunity to heartily recommend you to anyone who has a house to sell. Please do not hesitate to give our name and phone number to families who are considering listing their home with you.
Thank you again for a job well done.
Sincerely,
B and JF Hugot
"Just wanted to say thank you so much for the spectacular job you did in helping us to sell our house. In the midst of a declining market, we were able to succeed while other homes continued to sit. We'd like to mention the things that we were the most impressed with. As out of state selleers, we were at a disadvantage in not having geographical access to our home during the selling process. You recognized our needs and came to the rescue at every opportunity. Not only did you come over to our house to vacuum up our dead lady bugs when there didn't seem to be enough time to get cleaning people in time for showings, you went out to buy a new battery for our smoke detector at your own expense/inconvenience, you ran out to the hardward store to save the day during our Fire department certification to buy us some carbon monoxide detectors in orer to save us money on having another inspection. You also helped the buyers with getting their morgage documentation signed by us at the last minute via Fed-ex at your inconvenience. Might I add that the presentation on Realtor.com was lovely.
We feel strongly that we could not have done this without you. Thank you for everything!"

"Buying a home is for many a life long commitment as well as a life changing event. In 2005, my husband and I were relocating to Groton, MA and had 7 weeks to purchase a home. Through our local realtor, we met Karen Earnest whom was able to aide in this extremely sensitive decision. She was very knowledgeable about the area as well as the home we were interested in. Her in-depth knowledge about the builder and her ability to point out distinguishing features between homes was remarkable. Karen stood by us and gave us advice as we undertook the LONG process of deciding on the "perfect" house. We purchased our Dream Home!! She was very trustworthy and her assistance through the whole process was greatly appreciated.
In 2007, we were tasked with relocating out of state and needed to sell our home in record time. We put our faith in Karen and assigned her with the task of selling the home in less than 30 days. Through her meticulous knowledge of the home, the neighborhood, and her aggressive marketing plan, Karen was able to bring in a full price offer within 10 days of listing. At a time when the housing market was suffering, Karen's professionalism, integrity, patience and honesty made a stressful event, bearable for the whole family.
Once again, we thank you for your dedication, professionalism and outstanding service. We hope that if we were ever to return to Massachusetts that we would be able to count on you, once again to help us in finding our next "dream home."
Tom and Rita B.
