Karen Boyd has a positive energy that is contagious, and her sense of humor made our home selling process fun! Karen began immediately to conduct and compile research to help us market our home and determine the value and price points that would impact our home sale. Her insights and guidance were precise and accurate, and her research was critical in our successfully pricing and marketing our home. An added benefit was that Karen professionally staged our home to differentiate us from our competition , and that was clearly a key component of our reaching the right target market and buyers. Even for veteran sellers like my wife and me, the process can be overwhelming, but Karen made everything seem smooth, efficient, and seamless. Incredibly, Karen marketed and sold our home at our full asking price in only five days! She is clearly the best choice for anyone who wants to sell a home in our area!

Being age 79, I have had several occasions to use the services of a realty agent. I always thought their services were acceptable. That is, until we met Long & Fosters Karen Boyd. She has an outstanding knowledge of the market place in our area and outlined a specific and detailed plan for marketing our townhouse. Her knowledge and assistance in staging our property was most impressive and we still get compliments on the sales brochure. Perhaps her most unique ability is her incredible energy and drive. She's non-stop! The result an offer in 7 days. Should the need for an agent arise again, you can safely wager we are selecting Karen Boyd.

Karen was the only realtor (and I interviewed several) that was truly qualified to represent and communicate to prospective buyers the "lifestyle" that living in Chester County really brings. Many others said they knew about the area, but Karen was the only one that proved it. She truly loves living there and that love for the area and passion, comes through and that is one of the main reasons, I believe, that she was able to sell our home, when others could not. Also, Karen had a marketing plan that was second to none. She is a marketing guru and knows that's how you sell houses. She did many things that no one else in the industry does, and that's what is necessary in real estate, especially at times like this. I would highly recommend Karen Boyd as a real estate agent to anyone that is looking for an extremely talented, passionate and hard-working agent. Now more than ever, especially in these tough market conditions, you need someone like Karen to get your home sold.

We so appreciated Karen Boyd s professionalism during our real estate transaction. She communicated with us regularly and worked very diligently to take care of the little things. Karen marketed our property with creative flair, combining an arsenal of tactics including an interactive tour and a beautifully crafted booklet. She was an effective negotiator who demonstrated a thorough understanding of the local real estate market. How refreshing to have an agent who clearly worked very hard to please her clients. Karen is conscientious, meticulous and compassionate and we have and we will continue to recommend her to friends.

Karen Boyd's integrity and honesty were apparent the first time we met her. After we agreed to have her represent us we received exceptional customer service from her, well beyond the other realtors we had for the other 3 homes we have owned. She was easy to work with, always available and extremely thorough. The marketing efforts Karen provided us were outstanding ~~ never have we worked with or even heard about a realtor that offered the marketing that Karen did. We plan to have her sell our next house and have already recommended her to all of our friends and family.
