Karen we have many wonderful things we would like to relay to you and your prospective clients in the future. You are a person who is defined by her emphasis on the finer points. That is because you are an accomplished real estate professional who understands that the best results come from paying attention to the subtleties others tend to overlook. Whether you are taking the extra time to review the contracts to ensure all the T's are crossed and the I's dotted, calling with regular updates to keep us informed with the latest details or putting together a tailor-made marketing strategy for our home, you recognize that being mindful of the more intricate aspects of our ultimate success. If you are planning to buy or sell a home in the Greater Orlando Area, I would definitely endorse Karen Arbutine.
“We want to “thank you” for your kindness and sense of humor during a time when the “stress” of selling and buying a home in a short period of time was essential. We knew that when we called your phone you were always there for us. When we needed to have some repairs, inspections, and help with packing, you were able to secure the right people for the job very quickly and efficiently. It is not very often that you find a realtor of this “quality” and we are so “happy” that you were referred to us by a co-worker that knew your neighbors who raved about you. Our 5lb. Yorkshire Terrier “Zoey” was happy to have you sit with her during the inspection of our home, we were very appreciative! In closing, we would like to say that you went over and above in service and performance and Watson Realty has a “jewel” of a realtor working for them. Thank you for the “housewarming” gifts! We will be recommending you to anyone we know that needs a realtor or a friend!
"Mr. Bennett: I want to send a quick note of thanks to let you know how fantastic an agent Karen Arbutine is. I was introduced to Karen when we moved to the Sanford area with my wife and two kids. She assisted my wife and I in finding a home that suited all of our needs. When an opportunity presented itself for us to move to Atlanta we called Karen to help us promote and sell our home in Sanford. Karen made the process very simple for us due to her preparation and all it took was a few minutes of paperwork to complete the process and be on our way. The home was professionally marketed with a thorough market analysis, all pictures and web home tours were immediately completed. Open houses, agent tours and agent networking were a constant for Karen with promoting our home. There were many homes for sale in our area at the time and Karen was very creative in how we could sell our home within the timeline we required. Karen went above and beyond on many occasions to assist us with our pet and schedule a service call when our yard sprinkler was broken by the mowers. Karen even assisted us with the coordination of our closing needs after we had moved to our new home which saved us a trip back. She made sure we were completely satisfied with the process and we definitely are!!!
“Good Afternoon Mr. Bennett, My name is Anthony Mujie and I have had the good fortune to be represented by one of your agents, Karen Arbutine. I was fortunate to entertain a position with Wachovia Bank which required a move to New Jersey and had to sell my home in the Longwood Club, Longwood, FL. I found Ms. Arbutine by getting the home sale records from Bill White, the president of the Longwood Club Homeowners Association and reviewed Realtors who had the best per square foot sales. Karen’s name stood out and we interviewed her. I wasn’t all that certain because sometimes, as you well know, luck plays a part. I soon got to understand that with Ms. Arbutine, luck plays a very small role. She is bright, witty and has a passion for her job. The feedback I received from my Relocation Department was that she was very professional and kept everyone informed each step of the way. In a nutshell, Karen did a fabulous job. She was a consummate professional, consistent in her strategy and persistent with every possible client, to attain a sale. Even in the face of adversity, which we had our fair share, she was triumphant. She listed our home much higher then any other agents would even consider listing it for. In the end, Karen sold our home for $5,000 over appraised value. Karen is an asset to your team and if she is representative of your cadre, you will enjoy a long and prosperous career. My thanks to Watson for having her represent us. Anthony T. Mujic “My husband Luke and I tend to have pretty high standards when it comes to the level of service we expect and the hiring of our realtor to sell our home was no different. When we first met Karen, we knew right away she would do whatever it took to exceed our expectations, and that’s exactly what she did. In an extremely tough market Karen was always on top of things and one step ahead of the game. We were most impressed by her honesty, integrity, and excellent communication throughout the process. I can’t imagine how anyone could have done anything better then her! She is top notch! We would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home and is by far a true leader in the real estate industry.” “Dear M. Moore: In January, 2006, we met with Karen Arbutine to discuss the listing of our house in Lake Mary. We had scheduled appointments with other realtors however, after meeting with Karen, we cancelled the other appointments. Over 30 years my husband and I have bought and sold several homes plus, as a real estate advertising rep for 10 years, you could say we have qualified experience with real estate companies and associates. Karen Arbutine is not “one of” but “the” finest associate we were privileged to work with. Her professionalism, knowledge, detail, follow-up, patience are all outstanding attributes, but Karen is more, so much more. Karen takes the time to know and truly understand her clients. Her clients come first and she goes far beyond anyone’s expectations. There is something very special about Karen Arbutine and I hope you realize where a rare jewel you have representing your company.
“Dear Sir of Madam: It is with great joy that I take these few moments to share a few thoughts about my recent experience with your company. My experience started with the need to sell a property that I owned in the Lake Mary area. I contacted you company and was connected with Ms. Karen Arbutine. It did not take long for me to realize that Ms. Arbutine was not just another Real Estate agent. As a Captain for a major commercial airline, I have traveled extensively and have interacted with many professionals around the world. I can truly say that the level of professionalism and care I received from Ms. Arbutine during the sale of my property was well above my highest expectations. I was contacted on a weekly basis and given an update even when there was no activity. Ms. Arbutine kept me informed and helped to alleviate any concerns that I had. I had a difficult time understanding how I could be made to feel as if I was her only client even though she had many others. I now understand how she achieved her “Multi-Million Dollar Producer” status with your company. I look forward to calling on Ms. Arbutine for all of my future Real Estate needs. I will also recommend her to my family and friends without any reservations. My experience with Ms. Arbutine has given me a new definition for the word “professional”. Sincerely,”
“When we decided to sell our house, we contacted Karen Arbutine. We had received many mailings from her, and felt she could help us. It was, without doubt, the smartest thing we could have done. Her energy, knowledge and caring have made this transaction, not only an outstanding success; but we have at all times, felt totally important to her and cared for by her. We recommend to anyone buying or selling property, that she will get the job done in the best possible way, in the shortest possible time at a fantastic price!
“Dear Karen, I want to thank you for all you have done in helping us sell our home. After being listed with a discount brokerage for 3 months and no offers we were blessed to have found you. You bring a new meaning to a real estate professional. From the moment my husband and I met you, we knew you were the person who would not only meet our needs, but exceed them! Your selfless behavior toward your clients shows. I have known many agents in real estate in the past. It has been my opinion they look out for themselves and focus on the money they are making. You are a true, caring person who puts her client’s needs first. We are elated with the contract and closing price of our home. Keep up the outstanding work ethic and positive attitude. Regards,”
“Dear Mr. Watson, I wanted to write directly to you regarding the outstanding service provided to me by Karen Arbutine and Watson Realty. I have purchased several homes in the past and without a doubt she is the best Realtor I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Recently, we had decided to build a new home and had plenty of time to sell our old home; therefore we decided to market it ourselves. This route did not work very well and we seemed to be tied to the house and we were at the call of potential buyers who just had to see the house now, never came back or sometimes never turned up. In the end, we decided to list the home with a discount broker who was more established in the market. Well, needless to say they did not make me a penny! In fact, we had plenty of showings, but not one offer and no feedback from the agent. Karen had been sending mail to me and she even knocked on our door to introduce herself well before we had decided to sell. We never had an agent do that before. She had also shown the house at least two or three times. She was well known in the area and had sold more homes in the subdivision than any other agent. We were realty short on time and decided to terminate the second discount broker. This was becoming a pattern. We listed the home with Karen and the full service she had talked about really meant full service. She adjusted the price to the correct market value and the sign was up within one day. Karen provided color flyers outside and fantastic color brochures for the inside with details regarding the house and the local area. We have never seen that sort of thing with the other agents. She had the house in the MLS and on many Web Sites immediately. She then brought her whole office across to preview the home. WOW!!! We could not believe it Karen had so many people who know about the house it was great. We had been on the market about six months with our other agents. Karen had a contract on the house in 10 days and at almost full price with a qualified buyer. The story does not end here. During the inspections, she guided us through the process to ensure that all went well. We were guided through the closing process and the day of the closing was just a walk in the park. We closed at Watson Title which was highly recommended. As always, she was right, they were the best. They made us feel relaxed, but more importantly made the choosing run in a smooth and professional fashion. In closing, I want to thank Karen for all of her efforts, even helping pack boxes and making sure we were happy. I will and have recommended her services to friends and family. It is not often you get the chance to work with a person who really cares. Thank you so much for everything. I have learned that you really do get what you pay for!! Sincerely,”
