Seller reviewGreat person. She became a friend through the process.

Seller reviewKaren Brooks is the best Real Estate Agent that I have ever used comparing her to over 20 others from Sales of properties in California, Washington state, Arizona and Maryland. I told Karen (who managed my property as a rental) that if she had a buyer, to keep us in mind as she continued to manage it. About 2-3 months later she had an inquiry about buying rental property and sold ours. Not only did she do a fabulous job with the sale; she also did a fabulous job finding a renter and managing the whole process of our condo. The tenant she found for us was unbelievable. The kept the apartment like a model home and they were never late on the rent in 3+ years. In 2005, Karen sold my Dad's house after my Mom died. Dad (83) was a mess and Karen helped me deal with him and kept me sane. Mom and Dad moved into their house in 1966. Dad was an old crumengon and on his best days difficult to deal with. She sold it and spent lots of time helping him understand the process. If you need a honest, reliable Real Estate pro, that epitimizes Karen! Again, the best ever!

Seller reviewKaren Alford-Brooks dealt with the sale of my house in a completely professional manner from our first meeting. She set the price of the house according to the market and helped with adjustments as the market changed. She was instrumental in negotiating a fair sale price and obtaining the required repairs for the buyers to obtain a loan. She is available for questions and responds to emails quickly. Her understanding of the closing process was helpful as we navigated the timeline to closing. Besides being professional she's friendly and encouraging and made the sale of my house as easy as it could be. I highly recommend using Karen's knowledge and wisdom if you need to sell a home.

Buyer reviewCentury 21 New Millennium has always been the leader in professionalism for real estate in Southern Maryland. There was never a doubt in my mind who to go to when it was time for my husband and I to look for our forever home after 25 years in our current home. I knew I had to have Karen on my team when the time came to buy a house. She has the expertise I needed without any hassle and stress from presenting the offer, home inspection to the day of closing. I recommend all of my friends and family to call the best real estate agent in Southern Maryland - Karen Alford-Brooks. Karen was always available to work around our schedules, very dependable - even when we had to use 4-wheel drive to get to the house - she was there!
