Her charming demeanor, persistence in finding our perfect home, and her wealth of knowledge of both the market and industry, were just a few of the many reasons we felt Kari was the best choice in real estate agents. During the buying process, Kari took the time to understand what we were looking for in a home, and truly listened to our wants and needs. She diligently combed the market to find the hidden gems that fit what we were searching for within our budget. She sent us countless homes to view, despite the tough buyers’ market we were facing. Once we settled on a location and narrowed our search to two neighborhoods, Kari went above and beyond to make our dreams happen. When there weren’t any homes up for sale, Kari sent letters to homeowners to inquire if anyone was interested in selling, she used her contacts in the industry to discover up-and-coming listings before they even hit the market, and she made sure we were one of the first buyers to tour homes we were interested in. When our initial offers were unfortunately not accepted, Kari got creative and had us pivot our buying strategy to ensure we weren’t beat out on the next home we fell in love with. Kari kept us informed every step of the way and made sure to take the time to answer my countless questions. During the sale of our previous home, Kari was meticulous in suggesting updates that would add instant value and appeal to our home. Kari entrusted an outstanding staging company to accentuate features in our former home in a way that helped it find a new beauty. She was quick to get our home on the market, and within days we had several offers in hand. When offers came in, Kari thoroughly reviewed and outlined each offer, to ensure we fully understood our selling options, so we could make the best decision. During the entire process, Kari’s knowledge and tenure in the business shines through. If you’re lucky enough to work with Kari, you’ll feel confident that she has your best interests at heart and will work hard to make your home dreams come true. Kari started as our real estate agent but quickly became a part of our family. We truly enjoyed every moment of working with Kari, and we are so thankful that she helped us find our forever home.

Kari provided a steady hand and invaluable market expertise throughout the process of searching for our dream home at a time when homes were closing well above ask and without contingencies. Throughout it all, there was never a question as to whether she had our best interest at heart, and we never felt as if we were "just another commission." Kari truly cared about finding the perfect house for our growing family – which she did. She was organized, diligent, and thoughtful. She also had impressive and extensive contacts throughout the region, which are necessary in this competitive market. Kari listened, searched, refined, and then turned over every stone in our favorite neighborhoods until she found “the one.” When it came time for offers, counter offers, and escalation clauses, Kari was impressive. She calmly and confidently walked us through our options and provided her expert guidance without pushing us out of our comfort zone. She was also a voice of reason, often talking us off the metaphoric ledge rather than allowing us to get caught up in the current of bidding frenzies when she did not think the value was there. When we were in contract, Kari and her spectacular team seamlessly coordinated every single vendor, inspector, lender representative, and insurance estimator needed for closing as we tap-danced through the closing process. Now we have a wonderful new home and a wonderful new friend. Don’t spend another minute debating it, hiring Kari and her team will be your best decision yet!

Prior to meeting Kari, we had been searching for a home for over two years (with a different agent). We were growing increasingly frustrated as we kept losing in bidding wars. From the moment we met Kari, her professionalism, dedication, and deep knowledge of the real estate market were evident. We found the perfect house for us after just two weeks of working with Kari. Kari made the entire home-buying process seamless and stress-free. She took the time to truly understand our preferences and needs, ensuring that every property we visited was a potential match. We wanted to live in a particular neighborhood, so she called every house in that neighborhood to see if anyone was interested in selling off the market (and provided us with several solid leads). Her attention to detail and commitment to finding the perfect home for us was impressive. What sets Kari apart is her unwavering support and guidance throughout the negotiation and closing stages. She went above and beyond to secure the best deal for us and was always available to answer questions and address any concerns. We are now happily settled in our new home, and we owe it all to Kari. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking to buy or sell. Her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication are truly exceptional. Thank you, Kari, for making our homeownership dreams come true!

When I moved to the East Coast and was ready to buy my first home, I reached out to Kari. She quickly started guiding me through the current options and shared her strategies for success in the competitive housing market. Once Kari understood what I was looking for, we explored about 20 different homes that were tailored to my needs and desires. In the end, I found the perfect home in a Bethesda neighborhood, which Kari introduced me to. She pointed out its convenient location near the beltway, the nearby shopping within walking distance, and the pleasant and welcoming community vibe. The house itself was just right, with a newly remodeled kitchen, a private backyard, and a personality that matched mine. As a first-time homebuyer, Kari expertly guided me through the whole process, helping me find a home that suits my current lifestyle and will accommodate my family's future as we put down roots and grow. If you're looking for a realtor who truly gets what you want and has a deep understanding of the Montgomery County housing market, I wholeheartedly recommend partnering with Kari Wilner of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty.

She worked with us for nearly a year, spending hours with us visiting properties on weekends and evenings. She was always available and always flexible. She showed us nearly a hundred properties and was infinitely patient. Kari never made us feel pressured or like we were inconveniencing her. She reached out to us to check in when we took breaks from looking and just to see how we were doing. Kari is very personable and got to know us as people. Along the way, she did small supportive things for us to make us feel like members of the family. In what was at times a stressful process, she knowledgeably and confidently walked us through each step of the way, teaching us what to look for in houses and much more. For every house, she examined carefully and provided thoughtful comments based on what we were looking for. She is a wealth of information and was very effective negotiating on our behalf. We completely trusted her on the whole journey. We can’t recommend her enough. Thanks, Kari!

As seller's agent on our suburban house, buyer's agent for our son, and buyer's agent as we moved back into the city. When we sold, she helped us to decide what to fix up to maximize the value of our home, and she got us multiple offers above asking in two days on the market (this was three years ago when the market was much cooler). Her attention to detail, and incredible responsiveness, were unlike any other real estate agent we ever worked with. She is incredibly diligent on contract and logistic matters. When we shopped for our next home, she showed us several houses, and evaluated them with a critical eye, steering us away from places with problems (unpermitted additions with workmanship flaws). She knew she was making more work for herself if we didn't buy immediately, but cheerfully put our interests first to keep us out of bad deals. Kari is totally trustworthy, optimistic, and positive. We never, ever, felt pressured or slimed in any way. If you can get Kari as your agent, do it.
