We cannot say enough amazing things about Karen Gibson. Karen's communication, honesty, integrity, and expertise helped us navigated a really tough market to purchase our first home. Through all the ups and downs, Karen's positivity really made the whole experience wonderful. Karen went above and beyond to help us land our dream home, putting in our offer at midnight before an open house the next day, which ultimately lead to sealing the deal. She knew exactly what we were looking for and really got to know us on a deeper level that made us feel comfortable throughout the entire home buying process. She also had the knowledge to help us get set up with a great lender and team during the closing process to ensure that everything would go smoothly and successfully. We are so grateful and excited to make memories in our new home but will definitely miss working with Karen. Thank you so much, Karen, for everything!

Karen has been an outstanding advisor and guide through this process. We initially engaged Karen a number of years ago when we first considered make a change. She has been totally responsive and ready to answer all of our questions at all times during this process. We've travelled many roads during this journey from looking at large farms and estates to now selling our primary resident and moving to a small rental in the center of town. Karen has always been 100% supportive during the entire process and we trust her advice 100%.

Karen did a phenomenal job for us! She offered us excellent advice on neighborhoods, properties, construction, and service providers. She let us look at our own pace, but when we were ready to purchase, she made things happen quickly. She was fun to work with and a true professional. We were lucky to have her!

Our first meeting with Karen Gibson was a coincidence! She was stepping in to show a property on behalf of another agent and we instantly felt like we could trust her to represent us. Karen is an excellent communicator. She was always willing to hop on a call with us to explain aspects of the purchase that we did not understand and made us feel comfortable with making the investment we did. We really couldn't have asked for a better agent. Karen hit all of the marks and then some as she led us through the purchasing process and we hope to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future! If you're considering buying (or selling) in the area, definitely give Karen a call!

I would use Karen Gibson's realtor services again and again. We have seen her professionalism and high integrity in the most stressful of circumstances due to the unprofessional behavior of the seller and seller's agent. Karen would not back down, she stayed in constant communication with us and never spoke a negative word about anyone in the process. I highly recommend Karen Gibson.

I received a glowing recommendation regarding Karen Gibson from a trusted friend who had recently used Karen as her agent. I wanted to interview two agents to compare how they suggested marketing my home. Both agents made a good impression, but there was something special about Karen. I felt she and I thought alike regarding selling the house which I had lived in and loved for 53 years. The contracts and forms can be confusing, but Karen explained every detail in language I could understand. She also helped me in so many ways. She was there for me every step of the way. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who has integrity and knowledge. Karen put me first in this process of selling my home, and I nominate her for Best Agent Ever.
Because of my circumstances, I thought I had missed the whole buying boom. You can imagine my surprise and delight when Karen called to tell me I had gotten an offer the same day my house had gone online. The other good news was that there were more offers too, so I could choose the best one. Karen came to talk to me personally, and we discussed all the pros and cons, so I felt I had all the information I needed to make the right decision. The bottom line was my house sold in one day at over asking price. That is what I call having an excellent agent.
I found Coldwell Banker Hearthside, Realtors-Newtown and Karen Gibson in particular to be excellent from the first contact to the signing at settlement. I felt my interests were their interests. No question went unanswered. No amount of time Karen spent with me was too much. The agency and Karen there for me every step of the way. I could not ask for anything more than that.
What more can I say other than my overall experience was excellent.
My decision to choose Karen Gibson as my agent was the best decision I could have made. She has the qualities I admire in a person as well as the qualities needed to do a great job for her client. I would highly recommend Karen Gibson to anyone.

Karen Gibson was so knowledgeable, professional and communicated well, helping me understand the legalities of the sale. Tracking local sales, she priced my home appropriately, so it sold in three days. She coached me through the entire process. When there was a 'bump in the road,' she resolved it before sharing it with me. I highly recommend Karen, especially personally as a widow going through this sale making decisions on my own.
Karen Gibson made me feel so comfortable and was extremely approachable.
I have already recommended Karen Gibson to two families who are selling within the next 9 months.
Everyone was very professional and helpful.

Karen Gibson was an absolute delight to work with. She helped me navigate what can often be a difficult and confusing experience. Her expertise and knowledge were evident from start to finish. She was always professional and her recommendations were always on point. She was always open to explaining why she made a recommendation and would answer any question that I had. This the second time my family has worked with Karen and I will definitely recommend her to friends and family without hesitation.

Karen Gibson was referred by a family member,
but I picked her once I realized her knowledge of the market and she presented an excellent marketing plan. Her advice for staging the house was spot on.
I was located in another state and selling the house as an Estate sale. Karen was on top of every detail. Her advice regarding getting the house ready for sale was perfect. She recommended I accentuate the light coming into the house as a selling point. The buyer literally told me he at close that he bought the house because of how light and bright it was inside.
Karen was in top of all inspections and worked with the buyers agent to get a win/ win deal for everyone. Karen exceeded all my expectations
I could not have asked for more from a Realtor. Every communication with Karen was timely and clear. She was always professional, yet friendly and polite. I was always kept informed from the first phone call to closing day. I trusted Karen, which to me was the most important thing.

Knew Karen as a friend and knew of her integrity, work ethic and understanding of our particular situation. She delivered in every way. Buyer had a rigorous inspection process and Karen helped us greatly through the process of satisfying the buyers concerns. We always knew that Karen was on top of the situation and working on our behalf.

Working w/ Karen Gibson was such a pleasure. We had every confidence in working with Karen and Coldwell Banker. Karen's inputs, advice, and insights were spot on and her follow-up, commitments, and actions were always honored and timely. We worked well together, I followed her advice, we made adjustments, & got a deal at a good price.
It was Karen's 'Excellent' traits that lead us to choose her in the first place. First & foremost... we trusted her. I'd recommend her as a realtor in a heartbeat.

Karen Gibson provided us the best possible experience in selling our house. We give her much more than a 5 star rating. Karen is extremely professional and knowledgeable while also being caring and friendly. There wasn't anything that could have been better. We began telling friends and family about Karen Gibson after our very first session and intend to continue recommending her whenever the occasion to do so arises.

Karen has been working with us for several years. She initially assisted us with leasing a rental property at price below the average rental cost for the area. She was very friendly and kept us updated on her efforts and provided us with the pros and cons of particular areas and properties before we landed on our lease. When we decided to purchase a home after a two year lease, Karen was the first person we thought of and contacted. As usually she remembered and was happy to hear from her previous clients and eager to assist with our needs. She provided many leads and scheduled property visits that met our schedules. However, the market quickly changed due to COVID-19, but Karen continued to find options and provided us with pros and cons of the properties. We did thorough walk -throughs of the homes, and she advised if making an offer was a good idea or not. She worked late to get last minute offers in on time and kept us updated. There were many competing buyers (cask buyers) who made it difficult for being selected by sellers, but Karen continued her hard search. During the home buying process we felt completely satisfied and at ease that Karen had our best interest in mind by her efforts, personality and honesty. We are happy that we have now settled on our home, thanks to Karen's efforts. However, during the settlement period, we actually missed Karen as we had considered her part of the family after spending so much time looking at homes, or the phone discussing options, offers and strategies. She did, make herself available upon request and assisted with answering our questions about the entire closing process.
I would recommend Karen to any buyer or seller who want a genuine person working on their behalf.

Karen is a friend and did a great job in selling our daughters home in Newtown.
We have known Karen for several years and when she was able to present our daughter's home for one weekend and have offers to exceed the asking price, we were confident that she could advertise our home in a good way and get the asking price quickly. Over 25 people (home buyers) viewed the home in a four day period and at least 3 offers were made with the 3rd offer being for the asking price. We were informed throughout the process when the offers were made and good advice on which offer to accept.
Honesty and friendliness, along with hard work, are essential to consider in choosing a realtor to get a your house sold in a timely manner.

My wife and I were looking to purchase a home for the first time. We heard countless reviews to have Karen Gibson represent us. We heard she was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and amazing at what she does. We followed our friends reviews and are so thankful Karen represented us. Karen Gibson met all the expectations and more. She helped us understand the different moving parts of purchasing a home, she set up many home visits, put together a handful of competitive offers and most importantly helped us close on the perfect home for our family. Karen Gibson is the best in the business! You can’t go wrong asking her to represent you. Karen Gibson gets the highest recommendation I can give.

We called Karen on a Thursday night and by Saturday we were sitting down discussing our plan to sell. The house was on the market by Tuesday with showing the following weekend and we sold in less than 3 days with over 29 showings. She was spot on with the asking price and we received multiple offers. From start to finish it was less than 2 months! She kept in contact with us all along the way and made something that is usually stressful, easier than the last time we sold. We would use Karen again in a heartbeat!

I've purchased/sold properties using seven different realtors, Karen is the only one I have used twice and will continue to seek her advice and services. Anyone can show a house or bring in the people to show your home, but the exceptional realtor listens more than talks, understands your needs and effectively communicates. Karen is knowledgeable and willing to get the job done.
Karen is an effective listener and she does not sugar-coat the reality communicating information/opinions/advice. She is an effective negotiator and has the ability to relate very well with 'the other side'. Karen is beyond professional and by-the-book/ethical which makes me trust her.
I notice that everyone who comes into contact with Karen instantly likes talking with her, this is especially helpful when meeting with other realtors/home sellers and coming to the table at closing. She is professional in appearance and mannerism.
I do recommend Karen Gibson to anyone looking to sell or purchase. And I plan to seek her services again for investment properties in the near future.

Karen Gibson made purchasing my first home as easy as it could be! I bought this on my own, which was very intimidating, but she made sure I understood every step of the process and was comfortable with every move I made. Even in the beginning stages, Karen was willing to wander around with me just to get a feel for what style of houses I liked(even though we found my months before I made an offer!)
I would highly recommend Karen to any friends who are looking to move. She makes herself readily available and is always willing to hop on a call and talk through any questions...and trust me, I had a lot!
When my boyfriend and I get married and are looking for our first house together, I already told him we will be calling Karen :)

Karen Gibson did an excellent job selling our home. She is trustworthy, responsive and a hard worker. We even trusted her enough to make this the first closing we've done without being present and having an attorney. She helped relieve a lot of the stress of selling a home and moving by her understanding, patience and willingness to do whatever she could to ease our load.

Karen Gibson is not only a wonderful person but she is a gem of a realtor. She is the consumate professional and worked very hard and aggressively to locate and secure us a townhouse in exactly the area we wanted to be in. I would highly recommend Karen to friends and family that are looking to purchase or rent a property.

I am extremely satisfied by my experience with Coldwell Banker and my realtor Karen Gibson. As a first time buyer I was apprehensive about the process as a whole. With every step of the journey, Karen eased my anxiety. Despite my many questions, Karen was always patient and willing to talk. She is extremely knowledgeable and understood my wants and needs as a client. I never felt pressure from her throughout the process. I would highly reccomend Karen Gibson as a realtor.

I thought she had very good manners and Karen seemed to understand how hard it was for us to sell a long time family house.
And, since we were selling the house from a long distance away, Karen helped us handle the timing of things that we needed to do, and provided us with very good recommendations for contractors to do the needed work.
We also always felt that she was working for our best interest.
