A LITTLE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE IN REAL ESTATE....

Today’s home buyers and home sellers need an expert real estate professional to guide them through this complicated and exciting process. NP Dodge has equipped me with the knowledge and tools that it takes to assist you through a successful real estate transaction. I encourage you to sign up for an account here on my website. Be sure to download our iPhone and/or Android app so you have access to all area homes for sale. It would be my pleasure to help you find a new home and/or help you sell your current home. NP Dodge was founded in 1855 and for five generations, we have invested in the communities that we serve.

In the beginning, my husband was a Realtor and I was his assistant for five years. Having learned the ins and outs of the business, I became interested myself and decided to pursue my license.

Licensed since 2008, I also work heavily with builders; Mark McKeever's most notably. His primary focus is that of developing and building New Construction Homes.  My current project scope is assisting in closing of lots at Sherwood Subdivision in Underwood, Iowa. Since obtaining my license, I have served on several committees. NP Dodge internal committees, RPAC, and I have previously served on the MLS committee through SWIAR.  In 2017, I was the MLS Chair person.

I am also committed to helping those serving in our military. Having family members in the military has given me a personal passion for this specific group. I understand that there are a lot of moving parts when being relocated and the necessity of finding a home to connect you to your new community. I am excited to work with you and your families

 

 

A little about my friends....

As an agent in Iowa, I have met so many friends along the way. I also work alongside lenders such as First National Bank. Mary Pauley, FNB loan office of Council Bluffs, invited me to participate in a Round Table discussion regarding how FNB could assist agents. It's all about the Team Work.

She kept us informed throughout the entire process, was responsive to our concerns, and was always there to answer any questions that came up. Karen worked with us from start to finish beginning with the property search, helped us locate a great mortgage representative, and was with us at closing. It felt as though it was personal to her as well as us. Thanks Karen!”

Karen helped us tremendously with the purchase of our home in Malvern, IA. She diligently called me frequently and assisted us with finding different homes to tour, went above and beyond by making phone calls and assisting us through the process of paperwork and other issues related to purchasing a home. The home we bought is beautiful in a town we feel comfortable in. We cannot thank "KAREN" enough for her assistance in finding the "perfect home" for us.

We were very fortunate to have been referred to Karen from another realtor. As our realtor, she helped us find the right house in a great neighborhood for the right price. She was very patient with us, she made sure we had all of our questions answered and was quick to respond to us. She helped guide us through the process making sure we understood what was going on every step of the way. Karen made us feel like we were in control and never let us feel like we had to make a move that we did not want to make. Karen was nothing but spectacular for us and would highly recommend her to anyone who would ask us.

We would like to thank Karen S. Carmona at NP Dodge. If you are looking to buy a house I highly recommend her. She has been extremely helpful in the home buying process. There was a lot of things that she helped us through wither it was getting us contacts for inspection, giving us helpful advice and knowledge for things to be careful of when purchasing a home, and she genuinely has your best interest in mind. She has also been very patient and did not give up on us during our period of searching which started back in November and we looked a lot of houses before we were finally happy with one. Thank you Karen so much for all that you have done to get us where we are.

Dan (My Broker) --- I just wanted to send you a note letting you know of our great experience working with Karen Carmona. She just helped us purchase our first home and we couldn't be happier. This wasn't the easiest or smoothest process. The other parties involved made it really difficult at times and I'm sure it would have been a very unpleasant experience if not for Karen. With me being 7-8 months pregnant through the process, she made sure she handled everything and anything so I wasn't stressed or worried going into closing. She is truly an amazing person. We would like to thank, both Karen and NP Dodge for making the purchase of our first home a pleasant experience.

Karen --- I want to personally thank you for the quality service you provided myself and my Family. Being deployed is no easy task, but buying a house from overseas was a piece of cake. From the first walk through to the gift left on the table after closing, your expertise as a Realtor was exceptional. I never had to worry about a thing during the entire home buying process. Really, I've never seen anyone respond so quickly to the slightest request or need. Thank you again for your support as I serve our country. Thank you for assisting my wife with every detail. I wish everyone could buy a house from you! Respectfully, Charles Kistler

Karen was amazing. With the market as hot as is was, she was able to find us the perfect home. She never slacked off one bit between looking and closing. She was in contact with us almost daily making sure we knew what was going on and what was next to happen. Even when she was on vacation for a few days she didn't slack off. She was in contact with us or the agent that was covering for her so that she always knew where everything was as. If you want the best agent out there, call Karen Carmona with NP Dodge!! You can't go wrong with her!!!!!

Karen has been a "God Send and Blessing" for us and our large family. She took us in as a walk in and automatically got to work with her magic touch. Thank you for the blessing of helping us get our 1st home in a timely fashion!

Kristen Y.

Karen has been a bedrock foundation of NP Dodge CB the ten years I've been in real estate and I'm sure well before that too. Training other agents and helping everyone she knows just comes natural for Karen. A real pro!

Jon V. - Home Standards

Karen is awesome! She started out as our realtor and now a friend.

Michael S.

I have worked together with Karen on multiple sales over the years and she is always so professional and a pleasure to work with.

Bruce P.

Karen ensured my complete experience in selling my house and finding a new one was 100% to my satisfaction. I am so greatful to have her as my realtor.

Kenny M.

We have worked with Karen many times. When we build a home with Welcome Homes she was the “go to” person with any questions and paperwork. She has sold several homes for us and is always on top of things. We highly recommend Karen for any of your buying or selling needs!

"Thinking about calling one of those “We Buy Houses” companies? Call Karen instead. I’m glad I did. If my listing documents had been paper instead of electronic, the ink wouldn’t have had time to dry before I got an offer! This was despite having been listed previously under a different agent - and going ninety days with no sale. (If your house isn’t selling in a seller’s market, you have a problem.) Karen is not one of those agents who seem to regard tact and honesty as mutually exclusive. She gave me a price estimate that was realistic, and pointed out problems as well as appealing aspects of the property. Also, I was well advised against “improvements” that would cost me more in the long run than selling as-is at a lower price. During the closing process, unusual complications arose, but Karen handled them masterfully and helped settle my rattled nerves (not an easy thing to do!) I needed to find a rental where I could live until I could find another house to buy. Karen put the word out to her N.P. Dodge colleagues, one of whom found me something ideal! Partly it was luck, but credit goes to those who worked on finding it." Daniel M.
