    Karen Alford-Brooks is the best! An amazing person, always friendly and professional. My husband and I have worked with her multiple times and she has always had our best interest as her priority. She knows the southern Maryland region well and takes pride in the community. Karen took care of every detail and made it super easy on us. She knew what we needed/wanted in the sale of our rental property and made it happen! Trustworthy and dependable, this shows in all her work. Without a doubt one of the best realtors!
  • Seller review
    Karen is a professional in every respect of the word. Her reputation, work ethic, and knowledge of the real estate business ensured us we would get our house sold. We couldn't be more satisfied with the job Karen did getting our house sold.
  • Seller review
    She does a great job- highly recommend her! She is a friend. Have known her for years. Trusted her. Knew she would do a good job. She was responsive to my calls and did a great job.
  • Buyer review
    Karen was great to work with and gets the job done. She assisted us with every aspect of the process and provided expert insight and advice. Thanks to Karen, we got a great deal on our dream waterfront property in Southern Maryland. We can't imagine working with anyone else in the area ever again and highly recommend her service to anyone looking for home in the area.
  • Seller review
    Karen Alford-Brooks was highly recommended to us...I had seen her name on advertisements, other than that I did not know anything about her. Karen responded to any communication in a timely manner. Karen listened to us, and was easy to talk with. I liked the way she texted to say call her at our convenience or that she had send an email when she needed to talk to us.
  • Seller review
    I would use Karen again and again to sell my houses as she has done over the years. She doesn't surgar coat anything and just says exactly what needs to be done and recommnds the people to call to get it done if needed. If you disagree with what she says, she just sais, "OK." and moves on. She wants to get it sold as much as you do, and she knows how to do that. She could have offered to climb up and change a 25 foot dryer vent line cause she is so much smaller than I am, but I wouldn't let her even if she asked. She was perfect. I appricate her support and attitude even when I was a basket case.
