Caitlin Benefiel

We enjoyed working with Kari throughout our relocation process.

First, in finding the right unique home for us to downsize into and then, secondly, the more daunting process of finding the right new family to love the larger, one of a kind, built for entertaining home we were leaving behind. She did a great job all the way through the process and we appreciate all of her hard work.

She is very easy going and made me feel comfortable through the home buying process. She is great at her job and went the extra mile to help find exactly what I was looking for.

Misty Mauldin

We accidentally found Kari using the Zillow website and we are extremely pleased we did.

We were first time home buyers and didn't know much about how the process worked. Kari explained everything to us in detail, from Short Sales, HUD homes, Bank Owned/Foreclosures, etc... to Lenders, Inspections, and Appraisals. She took the time to really understand our needs and requirements and well exceeded them. She was so personable and made herself available to fit your schedule. We would definitely recommend Kari to family and friends and will use her for future homes.

Samantha Thomas

"To Whom this may concern, I wanted to write this recommendation for Kari Carnes, real estate agent that helped us with our home buying experience.

Kari brings a wealth of knowledge and experience with her into this field. Kari knows the Oklahoma City and surrounding suburbs very well – the demographics, the school districts, the traffic, home types, market conditions and finer points of living experience and conditions there in. Kari was patient through our buying experience. She did not demonstrate any high pressure tactics while decision making. We looked at about 20 houses and Kari was very accommodating and flexible of our time constraints and our calendar. Once we made the decision to buy a particular house, Kari was extremely responsive and speedy with paper work sometimes even working very late in the night and very early in the morning to accommodate our travel schedules. She even navigated some of the back office and logistical work with the bank and closing offices to help us in absentia. Also Kari was very informative as we were negotiating and was very balanced and fair in her approach, which is very important as buyers and sellers both need to “win” in a transaction. She entertained many questions, found answers, helped with inspections and also where needed brought in the expertise of her acquaintances in different trades to help troubleshoot or provide information of any issues pertaining to the house to ensure our decision was toward a sound house with potential to safeguard our interests and investments. So in short I would say Kari is more than just your agent; she is a resourceful partner that will support you with many challenging aspects of home buying/selling experience/transaction. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kari and her work.

Rohit Keshava

Kari is absolutely wonderful, by far the best.

She maintained email contact with us before we moved to Oklahoma, sending great listings on a regular basis . Kari would show us houses on our trips to OK and she was very knowledgeable about each of the areas we looked at. We ended up purchasing one of the original listings she sent us, she made miracles happen and all of our inspections were done in 24 hours. Kari is patient, understanding willing to go the extra mile, and and absolute joy to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a place in OKC and surrounding areas.

Nancy German

Kari is extremely knowledgeable and eagar to help in anyway she can.

She helped with 2 lease properties before we purchased, and was just as willing to assist with those transactions as well. She has a vast network throughout the OKC Metro area for anything you may need as a result of purchasing property. From offer to close it was 30 days, and everything went extremely smooth thanks to her and her diligence to communicate clearly and concisely what to expect and when. Will never use anyone else for realtor services! Thanks Kari!!

Michael and Tara Houston

Kari is a unicorn!

! She knows every area of the city inside and out! She listens to all of your needs and really reads between the lines on what you want! We had very specific needs for our family in a relocation process. Kari found several properties with what we needed and even found us a new build, in a perfect location, with a pond that we didn’t even know was possible!! If you’re lucky enough to have her for your realtor you are going to love your new home!

She will treat you like family.

Davy Eatmon

When a man promises his wife that he'll buy her a home, he has to come through.

When the time came for me to deliver on that promise, there was no one I was going to trust more than Kari Carnes. Kari led the charge, walking us through the myriad of paperwork and legal terminology involved with the purchase. She was always available, patient with questions, and highly diligent in the execution of her duties. We are eternally grateful for her unyielding support.

Christopher Lee

"I am grateful for the sincere and respectful way that Kari worked with my husband and I to prepare our house for sale.

She had amazing ideas and even offered to help complete some of the projects that she suggested for our home. She is truly a blessing to the real estate world. She goes above and beyond to make sure that your house stands out among the many others for sale. Thank you, Kari, for your hard work and dedication to ensure that our experience was not a nightmare as it is for many others!!!

Kari is the best.

She helped us get our home sold fast and also helped get us into our new home. Anytime we had questions (which were many) she always responded quickly and never made us feel like we were intruding on her time. I would recommend Kari to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. We could not have asked for a better realtor.

"Our experience with Kari has been excellent.

Kari helped us sell 2 properties and was very professional, knowledgeable of the markets, and very active in marketing the properties. Kari was very helpful in pricing the properties, offering suggestions to make them more marketable, and following up on potential buyers. When a contract was written , Kari was excellent handling all the details associated with closing the deal. In short, we were very pleased with Kari and plan to use her in the future. "

Kari has been so wonderful, helping us to sell my moms house after she passed away!

In such a stressful time, she helped get people to do things around the house, so that I didn’t have to worry about it myself!

She is very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. We were so blessed to have her as our realtor and it was reasurring that she had our best interest at heart."

Chad and Kelsey Johnson

"I have worked with many realtors, and none of them compared to Kari.

Kari listened and knew the qualities we wanted in a house. She took the time to show us multiple homes that fit our criteria, and I mean “multiple”. She is very patient and full of knowledge. I trusted in her decisions, personal thoughts, and concerns. I knew that she wanted the best for us which this was a first in all the realtors we have tried. I would recommend Kari to anyone over and over again. Kari stuck with us till the end unlike anyone else, and she found us our HOME. We love it! Thank you Kari!"

Casey Linde

"Real Estate Agent Kari Carnes was referred through a friend at work.

The thing that was immediately apparent about Kari, was her attentiveness to my personal situation. I spoke to Kari about what I was looking for and specific needs I was requiring, such as specific school district, access to the turnpike, number of bedrooms and square footage of the home. Within a couple of hours of that initial conversation, she was sending me possible listings which matched my narrow parameters. I selected several homes to look at, and Kari was always on time to these appointment, moreover with her husband being a contractor, she had special knowledge about what to look for in finding a structurally sound home. If I had a question about the structure of the home which she could not answer, her husband was just a phone call away. I never felt pressured into making a decision no matter how many homes we looked at, nor did I ever feel that I was wasting Kari's time. She was always kind and very polite. One house was appealing to me, but Kari said "you buy your neighbors too" and with this little bit of advice I passed. I appreciated this about Kari, because it told me she was looking out for me as a home buyer above her own interests as an Agent. Kari called me one day with "inside" information about a house that a fellow Agent had listed and with one look and Kari's expert opinion, I found my home.

Because of personal events in reference to affairs of the heart, a few months later I was again searching for a place to live. I did not hesitate to call Kari, who was very quick to respond to my new needs. Because of all the ground work which was previously laid on the purchase of the first house, I was able to locate the perfect home within a week.

I would recommend Kari without reservation to anyone who is looking at purchasing a home, as she is the finest Agent I've ever met.



Matt Hofer

Kyle Derrick

Kari is a phenomenal Realtor !

She’s always puts her clients needs first and works diligently to get what they need !

Debbie Mason

Kari helped me find my first home!

She made it an easy and fun experience. I had been looking at homes for a few months without a realtor because I couldn’t seem to find someone to take me seriously at 24 years old. I ran across a house she had listed and called her for a showing. She was so nice and ended up showing me a number of homes until I found the perfect house. She even referred me to a mortgage company offering bond money that saved me $3000! Every phone call to her was returned promptly and she treated me like I was her only client. I would definitely use Kari again and recommend her to friends!

Emily Horner

"I have known and worked with Kari for several years, so when it came time to sell my grandmother’s house, I knew Kari was the agent I wanted to list the home with.

Kari sat down with me, answered every question that I had and even questions that I didn’t even know to ask. She treated me as though I was her only client, giving me complete attention and personal service. I needed a miracle to happen, I needed the house to sell very quickly, and Kari let me know exactly what I needed to do to make that happen and helped me every step of the way. The first night the house was on the market, we had 5 showings with an offer, the second day, two more showings and another offer, and the house was sold! Kari continued to make me feel as though I was her one and only client throughout the entire process until the day of closing! It doesn’t get much better than that!

Gayle Coker

Caitlin Benefiel

"I began my search for a new home on the internet.

I visited Remax.com and was interested in many of the homes they had posted. I was paired with Kari Carnes as I began visiting potential homes. As our process of finding me a new home lengthened I became very appreciative that I was paired with Kari. As a first time home buyer I was a little naive going into the process. Kari held my hand the whole way through. She gave me much needed advice, helped me select the perfect home, and is still offering her help even after we have closed. I have already recommended her to a co-worker and will to anyone who is looking for an awesome realtor. Thanks Kari!"

"My name is Lauren Watkins and I bought my home in May 2007.

Kari Carnes was a great realtor. She helped me find exactly what I was looking for. It took me quite a while to find the home I wanted but Kari never gave up on me. She was so willing to get out in icy weather to help me find my home. It was a great experience. She never made me feel like I was putting her out of her way."

"We moved to OK from out of state looking and were looking for an experienced realtor that knew the area. A friend highly recommended Kari and we were impressed with her from the start. Kari has excellent follow-through, and is extremely kind and personable. We found her to be knowledgeable about aspects of realty that surpassed just the legalities of buying a house, and furthermore we were consistently impressed by her willingness to work around our schedule (which meant working weekends and evenings). She was always expedient in returning our calls, searching for properties, and setting up tours. Kari offered us an objective viewpoint on each house we toured, thereby helping us with our decisions. She was such a great asset during the purchasing process.....we would highly recommend Kari to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She was awesome!!"

"I have worked with Kari twice now and each time was a smooth and easy process. She helped me purchase my very first home a few years ago and took time to explain each step and help me figure out what was truly in my best interest. As a nervous first time homebuyer, that's exactly what I needed. When it came time to sell that home a few years later, she got in sold in ONE day at the full asking price. When I chose the new home I wanted to purchase, again she walked me through each step and checked up on me several times throughout the building process. When it came time to do the final walkthrough she made sure to point out several things to the builder that needed to be fixed that even I didn't notice. I would highly recommend Kari Karnes to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home. She's extremely knowledgeable and cares about what is best for her clients!!!!"

"My fiance and I were first time home buyers and very pleased with the entire process, thanks to Kari!!! She is absolutely wonderful. She is honest and willing to answer any questions, and if she doesn't know, she'll find out. She is very personable and makes herself available to fit your schedule. I think the longest I had to wait for a response was 5 minutes... We will definitely refer her to family and friends and I'm 100% sure we'll use her for future homes."

"Kari is a fantastic agent. We looked for a new home for more than 3 years and everytime we called to see a house she set up a tour within 1-2 hours on multiple occasions no matter the day. Well we found our dream home and left behind our old home. We fixed it up a little and within 6 days she sold that house too. Couldn’t be more happy with the services she provides and the expertise with which she handled it!!!"

"When I set out to buy my first home I was a little hesitant and more than a little intimidated. I had heard all kinds of horror stories about the long drawn out search, the countless rejected offers, the lack of help from realtors and loan officers.. And then I met Kari. The first time meeting Kari she took the time to figure out exactly what I wanted, she told me exactly what I would need, what it would take, and who to talk to to get it done. She lined out the process step by step and then walked me through itfrom the pre-qualification to closing. Thanks to Kari I am now the proud owner of my first time home"

"My friends recently bought a house and they told me how awesome Kari was and she definitely lived up to that. Since I was a first time home buyer I didn’t really know how the process worked or where to start. After the first day of talking to her she gave me a list of lenders to talk with and sent me a handful of listings to narrow down what I was looking for in a home. She always scheduled the walk through appointments that worked with my work schedule. While we were looking at the potential houses she would point out issues, whether it was chipped paint, pet stains, or possible future issues with the home. I finally found the house I wanted and we had to deal with the world’s worst seller. Kari stepped up and practically did the other realtor’s job, got everything lined out for the roof replacement so I could meet the lenders requirements and close before the end of the month because my lease on the rental house was almost up. I know I left out a bunch but Kari Carnes is definitely one of the best people or realtors you will ever come across. If I ever decide to move, I will definitely have her as my realtor again!

"I was a first time home buyer and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Kari helped explain the process to me and anytime I had question or wanted to go look at a house she always made herself available. I encountered difficulties through my lender and she stepped up to help me and kept me from having a meltdown. I absolutely love Kari and admire her work ethic and honesty. If I ever decide to move again she will definitely be my first call!"
