Karla’s Transactions

What Previous Clients Are Saying

Selling a home in a tough market is never easy, but working with Karla Painter made all the difference. From our first meeting, Karla brought professionalism, deep market knowledge, and a calm, confident presence that gave us peace of mind throughout the entire process. She was honest, responsive, and strategic — always one step ahead. Karla knew exactly how to position our home to attract the right buyers and guided us through every decision with clarity and care. Even in a challenging market, she managed to generate strong interest, negotiate skillfully, and ultimately sell our home for a price we were very happy with. We’re truly grateful for her hard work and dedication. Karla goes above and beyond, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. Thank you, Karla!

I’ve had the pleasure of completing two real estate transactions with Karla and she was outstanding for both! Karla has a strong knowledge of the market, her clients, and her customers. Karla was able to sell my previous home for an excellent price in a difficult market. Her communication and follow-through exceeded my expectations during and after the sale of my home. I would highly recommend Karla and her team for any real estate transaction.

– Geoff

Karla sold my brother’s house in Aurora in record time.  This was not an easy sale, inasmuch as the owner didn’t live there anymore, I live 625 miles to the east, and so many problems occurred such as a new roof, that kept trying to slow the sale down. From the day we first met her, until the closing was 47 days. Karla approached every hurdle with solutions, a great attitude and such professionalism. She is a wonderful woman and I would recommend her to anybody trying to sell their home. She is the best!   

– Susan

Karla was wonderful during our challenging time to sell our home. The interest rates were high and the showings were hit and miss. She consulted with us numerous times to come up with strategies to market the home. She was so supportive as we had already purchased a new home.  Her calm demeanor helped to keep us grounded and confident our home would sell. And it did! We highly recommend Karla!

– Linda and John

I’ve had the privilege of working with Karla Painter both as my buyer’s agent and 10 years later as my seller’s agent.  Karla truly takes the time to understand what’s important to you whilst handling all the intricacies seamlessly behind the scenes.  Her attention to detail is unparalleled along with her ability to methodically guide her clients through all the steps and potential pitfalls that go into buying and selling a home.  Prompt, efficient, responsive, and personable are terms that come to my mind when describing my experience with Karla as my agent.  I was indeed fortunate to have the pleasure of working with Karla twice and whether you are buying or selling a home, I highly recommend you go with Karla!

– Eric

Karla is the definition of professionalism.  She sold my home in one day for 12% over asking price that is already pushing the limits. In addition, entire process was seamless. She took care of all the details including designer, home cleaning, photographer, marketing appraisal to closing- I didn’t  have to lift a finger. Her knowledge of the market is bar none the greatest. I would highly recommend Karla Painter and her team.

– Gus

Karla and Tyler were an enormous help to us when we were putting our house on the market. We arrived in Denver from our winter home the second week of May and had our house on the market and sold in a matter of weeks. The first weekend it sold to the first customer!! Due to the virus lockdown, I had to rely on her for even boxes which she had delivered to our house before we could even arrive! I cannot say enough about what a help this team was!

– Judy

We couldn’t be more pleased with our realtor, Karla Painter. Karla is professional, responsive, and very knowledgeable. She went out of her way to show us the houses and areas we were interested in, as well as local sights. She also answered our many questions, in person and via text and phone/email. After an initial search, she even braved a snow storm to take video of a house we thought we wanted. We didn’t expect that, but she did it without hesitation. She has an excellent network and was very helpful with local business suggestions; we genuinely enjoyed our interactions with her and those we met through her. Thanks to Karla, we found a house we love and a wonderful neighborhood we can’t wait to join. We recommend Karla and without hesitation!
