I am a second generation native Floridian who grew up in Palm Beach County. After graduating from Vanderbilt University, I raised three children and resided in Greensboro, North Carolina. While in NC, I worked for many years as a Critical Care nurse and later pursued my lifelong interest in real estate sales. Missing the tropical breezes and warm winters of South Florida, I relocated back to Vero Beach. My husband and I have enthusiastically embraced Vero Beach as our home of many years, and we are thrilled to be living in such a special town. I enjoy the recreational lifestyle and “Old Florida” charm that Vero Beach affords, and I love to fish, run on the beach, play tennis, kayak and bike along the scenic byways. As a consistently high “Top Producer” agent with ONE Sotheby's International Realty and a top listing agent in Indian River County, I bring to the real estate business a combination of my real estate acumen, love of working with people as well as a meticulous attention to details. I like to say, "I have made lifelong friends in the real estate business, and treat every transaction with the energy and care necessary to represent my clients in the best way possible." Expect the finest representation, with dedicated full service!

We have owned many homes across the country and Karen Smith was the most thorough and professional Realtor we have ever worked with. She is everything one would hope a realtor would be. The following are just a few examples: Helped us obtain mortgage and insurance; gave list and choices of local workers such as painters, repair persons, etc.; outstanding negotiator, presented clear and updated marketing conditions, paid close attention to all details, and was always available by phone, text, or email questions. She also was good about follow-up after the sale. A very important thing for buyers that many Realtors forget to do. This is especially important when one is new to the town. In summary, she is a professional who is pleasant to work with. She genuinely likes what she does. We do too. Thank you.

We worked with Karen over a period of three years while we were trying to decide when to move. She was so patient and helpful with us. When we were finally ready, she helped us find a wonderful home with all our must haves in a relatively short period of time. With the utmost professionalism, she guided us through the process smoothly at times reminding us of upcoming deadlines. I would not hesitate to recommend Karen for either buying or selling property. She has also become a good friend.

Karen Smith is awesome! Karen and I worked together for over a year to find the right house for my husband and I. Karen also sold our previous home. Both transactions were a pleasure and almost stress free! Karen gave me suggestions to get my home ready to put on the market including a little staging of furniture and accessories from her own stash! After every showing Karen gave me feedback from the prospective buyers which I found very helpful. Karen is patient and fun to work with. She has great insight on the Vero Beach market and real estate in general. Karen definitely went the extra mile for us and I highly recommend her as the best realtor around. Joe and Valerie Erdeman.

Karen acted as the seller's realtor but was an invaluable resource to us the buyers. There was water damage to our condo from a small roof fire in the unit above ours during our purchasing offer. Karen personally oversaw the process of having everything repaired, cleaned and inspected, keeping us up to date on a near daily basis. She has been an superb resource for local contacts such as property manager, cleaning staff and insurance broker. We thank her for her dedicated service and diligent "hand holding" throughout the entire experience. Her service was impressive.

We've purchased and/or sold numerous homes in our life - and without doubt, Karen Smith has been the most thorough, comprehensive adviser, guide and counselor during the home purchase process. Early on, it became very clear to us that Karen considered it essential to completely understanding our requirements - and not just what our requirements were - but the "why" behind it. She didnt just print list and show houses, she found us houses based on her understanding of us. Karen has an encyclopedic book of knowledge related to the local real estate issues which we very much valued. Karen is very detailed and focused always making sure everything is moving forward. When the inevitable hiccups occur - Karen was able to adroitly handle them or guide us how.

Karen is the consummate professional. I have worked with Karen on two transactions: a purchase and a sale. Both transactions called on her negotiation and valuation skills. Both deemed successful from my perspective. She is patient, direct, confident and thorough. She is diligent and attentive to the details staying a step ahead to control the variables in a stressful process. I would confidently recommend Karen to buyer or seller.

I highly recommend Karen. She is dedicated, hardworking and professional in every regard. Her knowledge of the area and patience helped us find the perfect home. She began by familiarizing us with all the neighborhoods and letting us know the pros and cons of each one. We were able to zero in on the right one for us quickly. She is very well connected and tuned in to the market in Vero. We were able to see more than six homes just before they were listed which is a huge advantage. Her negotiation skills are superb. You could not work with someone better.
