I couldn’t be happier with how I was treated & worked with by Karin Buchanan. She was extremely responsive & very proactive on communicating with me. I wish I could find some criticism to help her better herself, but I honestly cannot think of anything that she could have done differently or better. Together we had some difficult moments that I’m not sure any other realtor would have had the patience to deal with on these issues & walked me through them as methodical & calm as she did. Karin was very informative and you could tell that she knew what she was doing and had my best interests in mind. I was very confident using her & have already recommended her to others & will continue to do so. I don’t think Karin could have been a better realtor. Thomas H.
