"You did an outstanding job, definitely one of the most professional realtors I have ever dealt with, and we have done alot of buying and selling, you are amazing. I hope we get to work with you again in the future and I sincerely mean that, you are very good." ...BD & CD, Cornelius, NC

"We can't thank you enough for all you did for us throughout the whole process of buying our condo. We appreciate you so much." ...GG & GG, Avon, CO

"I think it’s going to be a while for the markets to come back. We feel very fortunate that our place sold, thanks to our great agent!!" ...MG & SG, Santa Barbara, CA

"Karen Wilhelm was professional, competent, helpful and pleasant at all times. It was a pleasure to have her representing us and helping us." ...JC & JC Colorado Springs CO

"[We] appreciate the detail and thought which goes into Karen's work. I wish she was available for other parts of the Country." ...KC & JC Pasadena CA

"I only hope you know what a jewel you have in Karen. She is the most articulate, intelligent and energetic realtor I have ever had the good fortune to work with. She not only takes care of absolutely everything for her clients, but she does the most unusual from any realtor that I've worked with - and that is: she truly cares about you and the transaction. And I don't mean in just getting the job done. She goes far and beyond all that. The lady does many things above and beyond what you expect - all to make it easier for you her client. I feel truly blessed to have met and worked with Karen and to now also be able to call her my friend. ...it was the best service I have EVER received bar none. And not only the best, but so far ahead of the #2 spot. To understand the impact of that statement, over the years I have had 15 "buyer" transactions, 13 "seller" transactions for a total of 28, utilizing 11 different realtors." ... DM Houston TX

".. to show our deep appreciation for the work Karen Wilhelm did for us in the purchase of our new home in Cotton Ranch. As new home owners, we could not be happier. There were many unforseen disasters involved with this particular transaction and Karen handled them all with the upmost professionalism, remaining true and fair to both parties. Without her the deal most likely would have fallen through. We were not surprised to hear that Karen was chosen as Real Estate Associate of the Year by her peers, and we highly recommend Karen to all our friends who might be considering a purchase soon. Congratulations to Karen, and to Prudential for having her as an associate." ... SH & RH Cotton Ranch CO

"Karen was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond on every detail of our transaction. We were constantly amazed at her energy and thoroughness. She sent us floor plans, videos and digital pictures in Kansas City when we couldn't be in Vail to see the property. Not to mention the many contracts we did via fax. Then she handled our closing, switched utilities and had our carpets cleaned. Her extra touches really made a difference. We loved working with her and made a new friend in the process." ... LB & TB Kansas City MO

"Everything went very smooth and very quick. Karen was very helpful and thorough. Enjoyed working with her. She is a kick!!!" ... JG & LG Littleton CO

"Karen was very organized. When we came to Vail she arranged showings which were set around our timetable and she would take as much of her time as we needed. Our taste in condos (my wife's and mine) did not necessarily coincide, but Karen found one we both loved. She had a wonderful grasp of the business and really helped with the closing. She was also very firm with the sellers and followed through on his promises. Working with Karen was a delight!" ... MM & CM Lincoln NE

"[We] wanted to thank you for all your hard work and the successful sale of our home. We realize it wasn't the easiest sell and we appreciate your perseverance, honesty and guidance. If we can ever be of help to you in the way of a reference, please do not hesitate to call. Likewise, if our path should ever lead us to Vail in the future, we would look forward to your assistance. It was a pleasure working with you, and again, our sincerest thanks." ... PC & TC Eureka CA

"[Karen] impressed us with her knowledge of the Real Estate market, her sincerity, and her devotion to service. As we searched the residential market, it happened that we ended up putting Karen in one of the most difficult situations a realtor can encounter. Our final choice was a home that was being built - and Karen represented the builder. We had several months of negotiations that had to be completed before closing. We never had any concern about Karen's position during the entire period. She was always up-front, and yet could be fair, but firm with both the buyer and the seller. All of our initial impressions of Karen were accurate. She has gone far beyond her responsibilities to us as buyers. She is our contact in the Vail community, and she is our friend. Each time we see pictures and articles from Prudential about Karen as Top Sales Associate, we are not surprised. We have nothing but praise for her knowledge, attitude and service. Her initiative and enthusiastic expertise allow us to recommend her, without reservation." ...DS & CS Anna Maria FL

"Karen was professional, courteous, organized and if ever running late - she would call!! You have no idea how important it was to me that she would return calls promptly, get questions answered quickly and always "call" if she would be late for a meeting. Anyway, I don't have to look any more for a person I want to work with for my future transactions. Karen Wilhelm will be it. Thank you Karen and thank you Prudential for having such a great person on your team." ...KF & RF Eagle-Vail CO

"I simply wanted to thank you again for all you have done for me and my family. It's still a little strange to think of myself as a homeowner, but when I see I had you on my side it is not hard to realize whe the deal got done. It's hard to describe the sense of worth you have given me, but having done this for so many people I'm sure you have some idea. When people ask me about the realtor that helped me I can only tell them that I think you walk on water." ...AG Vail CO

"Karen Wilhelm was accessible, informed, quick to respond, assertive, honest and friendly. She did a fabulous job marketing and selling our home, a particularly tough market to sell. Thanks go to her." ... DN Boulder CO

"Your performance during this past year placed you in the top 4% of all sales associates within the Prudential Real Estate network. I know that this accomplishment required a lot of hard work and extra effort on your part, taking valuable time away from family and friends and making it necessary for you to spend hours on the phone and in your car providing "Satisfaction and then some" to your customers. We, at The Prudential Real Estate Affiliates, Inc., want to be sure you know that your hard work is both acknowledged and appreciated." ...
