With over three decades of wide-ranging real estate experience, Karen provides highly knowledgeable, friendly and finely-tuned service that addresses the specific needsof her buyers and sellers. Before joining Turpin, Karen was a legal assistant specializing in real estate where she gained valuable knowledge about the transaction process. She also has over 10 years of experience handling every aspect of a real estate office. Tasks in that role ran the gamut from compliance with the New Jersey Real Estate Commission to highly effective property marketing techniques. Karen's thorough understanding of marketing strategies and complex housing regulations, combined with outstanding communication and organizational skills, has earned her a reputation as a respected professional in the community. Her genuine interest in architecture began in the 1980s when she worked alongside her father, a master craftsman of period construction and renovations whose work was featured inColonial Homesmagazine. Karen quickly developed a trained eye for quality design and superior details in houses. An enduring love of antique homes is reflected in the historic homes Karen has lived inan 18thcentury schoolhouse in Mendham Twp. and a circa 1872 church manse in Long Valley. Renovating a 250-plus year old stone and brick Colonial in Mansfield Township with her husband, Kevin, of 25 years, was a labor of love. Today they live with their school-age son in the Pittstown section of Union Township. Affiliated with Turpin since 1985, Karen is uniquely qualified to guide home buyers and sellers through the intricacies of the transaction process, from the first home tour to the final signature at closing. She welcomes your call, visit or e-mail to the Oldwick Office, and looks forward to assisting you with all of your real estate needs.
