Testimonials
"
Karen Van Buren has been my real estate agent for over 10 years. I was new to the area and was so thankful to be working with Karen (and Jack, her husband), who were both born and raised in Columbia County, they know this area front and back, along with the market. I have sold 3 homes and purchased 3 homes with Karen and every transaction has been seamless and a pleasure. Karen and her support team never miss a beat, are always reachable, and get the job done! She has not only taken care of me for 10 years, but also my family's real estate needs as well. I highly recommend working with Karen (and Jack), you will be thankful you did!

Karen, Jack, and Kari Van Buren are everything you can hope for in a real estate team. I have been fortunate enough to have them guide me through the wilds of both the buying and selling process. Back in 2019, when I was on the buying end, Karen, especially, could not have been more enthusiastic and patient in helping me find a home that was perfect for me--and she did! Five years later, I relied on their thoughtful guidance to help me through the process of selling. They answered every anxious question; picked up every single call. Perhaps just as much as their expertise in real estate, their pulse on the Hudson Valley was essential to informing every decision I made along the way. There isn't much I wouldn't trust these three to help me handle, and I can't imagine "home" without them! Thank you, Jack, Karen, and Kari!

Having known Karen personally for several years and collaborated closely with her as my real estate broker for over three years, I am thrilled to commend her unparalleled professionalism, dedication, expertise, and the sheer joy she brings to the process.
Throughout our extensive quest to find the perfect home, and despite the challenges of a competitive market, Karen demonstrated unwavering commitment and patience. Karen's responsiveness to my inquiries, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond to address any concerns or questions are completely invaluable.
What truly sets Karen apart, however, is her infectious enthusiasm and genuine amusement in her work. Working with Karen is not only productive but also incredibly enjoyable. Her positive energy, sense of humor, and ability to find delight in every situation made even the most challenging moments feel like a breeze.
Beyond her professional expertise, Karen seeks to build meaningful relationships with her clients, ensuring that each interaction is not only successful but also memorable and enjoyable.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Karen VanBuren for her exceptional service, unwavering dedication, and genuine passion for helping clients achieve their real estate goals.

From the moment we first met when she was showing me a few listings, Karen Van Buren and I just hit it off! She knows the area so well and was able to give me the "local scoop" on all the amenities. And as a buyer who was totally out of practice with the 21st-century-home-buying process, I benefited from her helpful guidance every step along the way. She has connected me with neighbors, local tradespeople, and even the best routes to get places. I am so fortunate to have found not only a great real estate professional but also a new friend and neighbor!

We met Karen a few years back when purchasing a property in Columbia County. She was professional, knowledgeable and quite the asset. The second time around, when looking for another property, Karen was just amazing. Super patient, full of great advice and professionalism. The Van Buren team, Karen, Kari and John, compliment each other beautifully and I can’t imagine having someone else helping with the process of purchasing a home in the area better than they do. It is always a great balance between professionalism and a wonderful joyful spirit!

Earl and I met Karen and Jack Van Buren 33 years ago when we bought our home in Valatie and we were very impressed with their professionalism and knowledge of the community to which we were moving. So when it came time to sell our house, we knew hands down that they were the ones for the job. From the get go, they took charge and guided us every step of the way. Start to finish and beyond – even referring us to a local realtor here in South Carolina. Kari Van Buren, who operates Kari-In, Kari-Out LLC, was a tremendous help in organizing our estate sale and downsizing the house. Karen, Jack and Kari went above and beyond and were always there to take our calls or respond to our texts. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. They took a lot of the stress out of the process and had a way of always making us feel at ease. Here’s to the Van Buren team!

Karen Van Buren is the most knowledgeable and understanding realtor we have ever worked with. She made the buying process so easy and helped us understand what was happening every step of the way. We bought a home that was in need of a few repairs and she was completely transparent about what needed to be done and helped us schedule appointments to get quotes from workers. Every time we would start to have anxiety, she would be there for us and have the right words to calm us down, while being honest and straightforward with all our questions. Can’t thank her enough! Love our new friend ❤️
