Real stories from buyers and sellers across North County San Diego.

Absolutely Fantastic!!
Karen represented us as buyers and sellers, and she was absolutely fantastic!!!!! She found the house of our dreams!!!!! And sold our place in record time. She made the process super smooth, for both our sale and our purchase.
She is confident, resourceful, efficient and super helpful!!!! Bonus points for being friendly, calm and proactive to avoid any surprises in the process. If you are in the market for a property and want a no-pressure realtor that knows her area, listens carefully to what you want, and delivers what you need, call her now! You will not be disappointed.
Five stars to Karen and I would absolutely recommend her to family and friends. She went above and beyond for us and was delightful to work with.

Karen is BY FAR, the best realtor that I’ve ever dealt with.
The amount of personal favors and help was ridiculous. She and her husband got their hands dirty and actually helped me remodel my backyard. And they did more than that. What an amazing realtor and husband/wife team! Honestly, I’ve had some great realtors, but no one has been as good as Karen.

Wonderful Experience with Karen
My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Karen to purchase our first home! We would have been totally lost without her. Karen kept us on top of all the latest listings, would schedule viewings for us within the hour when we needed it, and showed enormous patience and grace while we saw almost 30 houses before finding the one.
Karen ensured we were comfortable and confident during the bidding and buying processes. She gave us wise and careful advice, but pushed us when we needed a nudge in the right direction. Karen was ruthless and poised in all the ways she needed to be with the sellers, banks, escrow officers, and other agents. It ended up being a very rewarding experience and we’re very happy with how it all worked out!

Karen Pietsch Helped Us Buy and Sell Our Murrieta Home
We first worked with Karen four years ago to find our first home in Murrieta, CA, within the Murrieta School District. She helped us find a place that checked every box we had, and made the entire buying process smooth from start to finish. When it came time to sell that same home, there was no question who we’d call — Karen again.
She didn’t disappoint. Her staging and marketing expertise clearly paid off: she found us a buyer who came in just above asking, a genuinely impressive feat in today’s buyer’s market. Throughout both transactions, she was quick to respond to every question and consistently advocated for our best interests.
Karen is a hardworking, solid professional with deep knowledge of the Murrieta area, and we’d recommend her without hesitation to friends and family.

I would choose Karen 100 times over and over again.
Karen was absolutely honest, hard working, encouraging and brilliant! She made this process so much fun. We found our dream home thanks to Karen and all her hard work. After 30+ homes, we finally landed the winner! We are so thankful and blessed that we can now provide our dogs with a yard. I would choose Karen 100 times over and over again.

Karen will go above and beyond to get the most for your house.
My husband and I were in the process of buying a house in another state and selling our house in California. Karen was very professional and sat down with us to explain the process. She did market research on the houses selling around us and walked us through several strategies for selling the house. She advertised our house through many media outlets to get the best exposure. By the time open house occurred we had over 80 people walk through the house. By the end of the week we had seven offers and more people asking for walkthroughs! During the offering process she reviewed all of them with us so we understood what each one was offering and the requested timeline to put the house in escrow. She also walked us through the document signing process even though we were out of state. The process was smooth and I would highly recommend using her to sell your house. Karen becomes very invested in the process, as if she was selling her own house, and will go above and beyond to get the most for your house.

Karen Pietsch was an absolute dream to work with!
As a first time home buyer and single mom, I needed to know my agent had my best interest at heart and Karen exceeded all expectations. She made each step of the process so easy—from setting up digital review sites specific to my needs, to arranging viewings, and then seamlessly navigating the whole offer and counter offer process, Karen went above and beyond. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and FUN agent who will make buying or selling your home a breeze—you found her. Thank you, Karen!

Karen works hard on finding exactly what your looking for.
Always on time, bubbly personality!!

when I’m ready to upgrade again, I will undoubtedly have Karen as my trusted agent.
Buying and selling a home in San Diego is hard. I needed help with both to kick start my next phase in life with my new fiancée. You need an agent with market expertise, connections, and open lines of communication to have a chance in San Diego’s competitive market. My experience was no exception. I bought a house that was on the market for less than 2 weeks, with 6 offers in hand, and one offer higher than mine. Karen suggested I offer a 2 week close with short contingencies. I truly believe this is what separated me from the other buyers. Karen helped me throughout the process and we even had her master carpenter husband install some custom work that really made our new home pop.
