Our family is THRILLED
Our family is THRILLED with our new home that Karen Smyth and her team found for us. We were moving from Illinois so it was impossible to see the houses in person - with Karen’s team the long distance wasn’t a problem. They walked through the ones we liked and even took some videos! How did they know what we wanted? They listened..got to know us..and we were delighted with what they provided: their years of experience, knowledge of the market, ability to work with people, the advice they provided and their INTEGRITY! We counted on them and they delivered! Our offer was accepted, the inspection immediately scheduled, the closing was smooth and everyone walked away smiling. There is no doubt we will stick with this team for our future real estate transactions! We can’t thank the Karen Smyth team enough! Loving Georgia Life ❤️❤️

Wonderful to work with!
Karen Smyth could not possibly have been more wonderful to work with! This is our first time buying a home and we met her by chance. We now can’t imagine home buying without the diligence and care of Karen. She worked so hard for us and with us. She guided us without pressure and shared her vast knowledge at every point in the process. She’s an excellent and clear communicator which was so appreciated. We were ready to buy a house with a somewhat quick timeframe, and she made sure we found a dream home without compromising. She’s now a friend and a true professional that we will recommend to everyone. We love Karen!

Amazing experience we have had with Karen Smyth and her team
What an amazing experience we have had with Karen Smyth and her team. Her professionalism, extensive knowledge, and guidance has been invaluable throughout our homebuying experience. My wife and I cannot recommend her and team enough! We were initially drawn to Karen, because of her straightforwardness and honesty about the home buying experience. Her levelheadedness, and support have allowed us to go into this process with “both eyes open” as she would say. She will be invited to every Christmas party we have! More than just a realtor we would call her an advocate, and a friend! Five huge stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Karen was extremely helpful, warm, patient, and so quick to assist
Karen was extremely helpful, warm, patient, and so quick to assist us with all of the tangibles and intangibles that are so important when buying a property. She is a dictionary of resources and truly cares about us as a client. We are so lucky to have had a chance to work with her.

Karen Is Nothing Short of Amazing
"Karen and all the other members of the Ben Kinney Team were nothing short of AMAZING! They made the process of selling our home hassle free and delivered on their promises. They exceeded our expectations by having our home listed and closed all under one month. They even got us an offer well above list price. If you are looking for a real estate agent with deep knowledge of the market who is professional then look no further than Karen Smyth!"
