What My Clients Say About Me

 

Wayne, Antigua & Key West

Karol was fantastic. She had great skills and endless energy to help get our condo sold. Her strategies and marketing were first rate! I highly recommend.

Diana, Key Largo

Karol did an outstanding job from start to finish on the sale of our Buttonwood Bay Condo. She did an excellent job of listing and staging our place and as a result we received a lot of traffic. We were in Pennsylvania while the unit was for sale and Karol went above and beyond in maintaining the place in ready to show condition – even adding fresh flowers! Despite a down market she found a highly qualified buyer and skillfully negotiated a deal that was fair and acceptable to both parties. Her follow through with the closing was also exceptional. We would highly recommend her to any of our friends and family.

Alexandra, Coral Gables

We had an exceptional experience working with Karol Marsden! She was incredibly professional, attentive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Karol’s expertise and dedication made finding our new home seamless and stress-free. Not only did she listen to our needs and provided valuable insights, but she also gave us very good advice. She exhibited assurance every step of the way.

Jane, Key Largo

Karol made the sale of our condo so easy. She kept us informed all along the way, followed up on every lead and responded to all of our questions quickly. She and Dominic did a great job staging the condo and then marketing it with beautiful pictures and video. We have bought and sold a number of properties over the years and we have never had the process go so smoothly. We would highly recommend Karol and Dom!

William, Wisconsin

Outstanding in every respect. Efficient, timely, accurate and professional.

Antonia, Key Largo

This is our fourth transaction with Karol – she helped us find our perfect Keys home when we moved here 12 years ago and then helped us secure some related properties. She knows the market, listens to client needs and priorities, is a great communicator and troubleshoots any issues before they become problems. She’s also provided us with very helpful introductions to contractors and other resources.

James B., Daytona

When my wife and I decided to move out of the Keys, we worked with Karol Marsden to sell our home. I’m convinced that the video she created is what got our home sold. We were across the street from the beach but you couldn’t really see it in photos like you could in real life. Her video showed how special our location was and a nice couple from up north bought it. They said they were sold on it before even coming to see it in person. That’s what I call results!

Diana, Ohio

I’m happy to recommend Karol Marsden to people who are looking to buy or sell real estate in the Keys. I listed my home with her and she had it under contract in three weeks and we closed 30 days later. Her marketing materials were well done and effective as they reached buyers out of state who were retiring in Key Largo. She even arrived early and swept the leaves away on the patio and steps so it showed at its best. Since then, I’ve purchased another home in Key Largo with Karol and when it comes time to sell, I will absolutely use her services again.

Bill F., West Virginia

When I was looking for a home in Key Largo, I called a friend and asked for a reference for a good realtor and he immediately recommended Karol. It turned out to be one of the greatest references I have ever received. Karol worked with me to assemble a list of possible houses to consider and then set up her schedule so we could visit them all in two days. It was clear that she was truly interested in finding the right home for me, not the most expensive one. She asked tons of questions so she could understand what would suit me best. But what has really amazed me is all the work she has done after the sale. It’s been almost two years since I bought the house and she is still willing to assist me with anything and everything that comes up. All I need to do is call her and she still happily comes over to visit and assist me with whatever I need. It has been truly a blessing to have found Karol and to have been able to work with her over these last two years. Karol is the best. I would highly recommend for anyone in search of a home to contact Karol ASAP!

John D., Key Largo

I cannot say enough about my agent, Karol Marsden. She went above and beyond to sell my home. The photos and video were very professionally created and presented. Her attention to detail throughout the transaction made me feel very comfortable and informed every step of the way. I recommend Karol to anyone looking to sell their home in the Keys.

Diana, Key Largo

In the last 4 years, Karol has helped me buy two houses and sell one. All of the transactions have been challenging with a number of surprises from the other party, and Karol has gone above and beyond every time to get the deals closed and protect my interests. She really knows the local market, how to price appropriately, and for buyers, how to put together a solid offer that will get results. Karol’s marketing as my seller’s agent was outstanding. She pays attention to the details and I felt like she never stopped working for me.

Ron and Donna, Key Largo

Karol was everything we needed in a realtor. Not only did she sell our home in a matter of months after another realtor had the listing for over a year, she sold it at a very competitive price. Karol showed our home frequently, kept us informed with useful feedback, and even coordinated maintenance issues as we lived out of state. She promptly returned calls and emails and assisted us every step of the way during the closing process. We proudly now call Karol our friend; and highly recommend her services for real estate in the Florida Keys.

Beth, Washington, D.C.

Karol Marsden recently sold our home of forty-five years that has deep sentimental value to our family. From the day she first toured our home through to the final closing, Karol provided expert advice on necessary improvements and staging to prepare our home for sale, and ably guided us through negotiations and closing. She is knowledgeable, communicative, responsive, proactive, and strategic. These traits, along with her professionalism and motivation, were evident by the time she invested in marketing and showing our property, which sold for our desired price within a few months. I highly recommend Karol’s real estate services.

Elizabeth, Islamorada

Karol sold our house at breathtaking speed—about 10 days on the market. This was only possible because of her expert advice on how to prepare the house for sale and taking professional photos and videos that made it look absolutely amazing. If that weren’t enough, Karol patiently helped us find our new home, alerting us to every new listing, often before it officially hit the market. She helped us negotiate terms with a challenging seller and did it all with professionalism, integrity and unflagging cheer. We will definitely work with Karol again for our future real estate needs.

Myra, United Kingdom

Karol Marsden organized the selling of our beautiful home in Key Largo – we thought it would take time to sell, as many homes around us have been on the market for sometime – however, she sold it far too quickly! Therefore, I can recommend Karol highly, as she is so efficient, very thorough, and gets the job done in a highly professional & timely manner.

 

Bill Butcher and Antonia Shusta

Karol is an ideal real estate agent. She carefully researched listings meeting the specific criteria we’d outlined. As we looked at them and responded, she quickly understood our priorities and preferences. Based on her insights, we then looked at properties that did not meet our initial explicit criteria but had relevant compensating factors. It was one of those homes that we ultimately purchased. Karol also introduced us to a number of service people in the community to help with work that we need to do and preparations for moving. In addition to being bright, thoughtful, responsive and competent, she is easy going and delightful. Buying a new house with Karol is the best experience it can be!

Ben and Donna Hart, New Jersey

What do you do when you’re a Virginia couple looking to buy a home in the Florida Keys? We really didn’t know where to begin. After much searching online and visiting many realtor sites, we selected Karol Marsden to contact. WOW… did we luck out!! Karol not only was prompt to respond, but very thorough… efficient… caring… honest… enjoyable… and knowledgeable… just to name a few important qualities. We are now very happy owners of a Key largo home and feel very welcome in the neighborhood… all thanks to Karol. She guided us from the beginning to the closing, and everything else in between. Karol will look out for your best interest, too

Mort and Shelly Bank, South Dakota

Karol was very helpful in our search to find our dream home in the Keys. After we told her what we were looking for she did her homework and narrowed our search to a select few homes. She was very honest in her opinions of any of the homes we looked at. At no time did we ever feel “pressured” to buy. Whenever we had questions concerning taxes, insurance, comparables, etc., she returned our phone calls and emails in a very timely manner (even late at night or on weekends). Karol also volunteered to get us quotes on termite tenting, landscaping and other miscellaneous home repairs that needed to be done. This was extremely helpful to us since we live in North Dakota. Prior to closing I bought two kayaks and asked Karol if she knew somewhere we could store them until we closed on the house. Without hesitating she said, “You can store them at my house.” After the closing she delivered the kayaks to our house! She even stocked the refrigerator with breakfast items before we arrived at the house for the first time. Unlike most Realtors, she didn’t forget about us once the sale was completed. She has stopped by the house a couple of times to make sure everything was ok and volunteered to help in any way. We have been in the hospitality industry for over 40 years and have never been more impressed with the service we received. Karol was an absolute pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her!

Jody and Randy Castle, Virginia

Karol Marsden served us extremely well as our buyer’s broker. She assisted us through every part of purchasing our home including obtaining the mortgage and insurance. She was very easy to get in touch with, promptly did everything she said she would and was pleasant to work with. We hope to refer others to her with our highest recommendations.

Jane Kervin, Ohio

We were searching for a condo in the Keys and had tried connecting with a couple of Realtors to help with our search. Karol was immediately responsive and by far the best. She provided us with listings that met our requirements, had extensive knowledge of the area, helped us find a place to stay during our visit and ultimately showed us the condo we ended up buying. We always felt she was working in our best interest and not just wanting to make a sale. We have worked with a number of Realtors in different parts of the country and Karol with her responsiveness and professionalism has been the best. I would highly recommend her.

John Nussbaum, Bagdad 

Dear Karol, I’d like to take this opportunity to express my thanks and appreciation to you. You found me exactly the home I wanted. Your guidance through the process of acquiring and closing the sale was stellar. Your knowledge of the area and the process of purchasing a home is outstanding. You kept me informed throughout the long process, admirably. Please feel free to use me as a reference. I will recommend you without reserve. Anybody that has you as an agent is lucky and in good hands.

Virgil and Jo Allmond, U.S.A.

We asked Karol Marsden to help us find a place in the Keys. While she was doing so, we got to know her as a person. She returned our calls on time, she returned our emails on time and she led us through this process with the skill of a professional. But more importantly, she was ethical, a person of integrity and a pleasure with whom to work.. Karol is a real estate agent one would want as a friend and a person with whom one would like to work again and again. Maybe we will have that opportunity one day.

John DeSimone, Boston

Karol Marsden came highly recommended to me by a friend. Karol exceeded my expectations. She assisted me in my decision making process by providing insightful information on everything from property values, taxes, insurance issues, neighborhood characteristics to potential resale considerations. Karol was always responsive and patient in handling my questions and requests. Karol negotiated the purchase of a property in Hawks Cay on my behalf and expertly guided me through the inspection and closing process. Karol is the consummate professional. I highly recommend Karol.
