Karen’s clients love her!

Karen was very knowledgeable and helpful to our needs while going through this process. If she did not answer her phone she would get back to me very quickly. I know she had other clients but she made me feel like I was her only one which made this process easier for me and my family.

Karen Lawlor was friendly, professional, and very responsive. We were selling my
mother’s condo in Leisure World. She had lived there for 25 years. After moving her
into assisted living, the condo needed the remaining contents emptied, flooring
replaced, and to be completely repainted. With Karen’s advice and contacts, we were able to get all that done in less than two weeks. She also virtually staged the space so it looked like something right out of an HGTV newly renovated property! Once listed we had a contract in less than three weeks. Thanks again Karen!

Karen Lawlor was recommended to us by our son and daughter-in-law when we first considered moving to Ellicott City. She arranged a meeting immediately at our convenience and thus the journey began. She gave us information about the housing market, and the procedure as to how and where to start. She answered our many questions. She listened to our wants and needs and helped us with our issues concerning selling our home in North Carolina. She was a force that helped us through every step. I can’t even begin to say how many calls and texts went back and forth from MD and NC. We called, Karen responded immediately, nothing was too insignificant for her to address. She was totally on to of anything we needed. Her knowledge was evident from day one. She found us our new home in Taylor Village in Ellicott City. To say Karen had patience is a total understatement, so many nervous questions for her. Her professionalism and patience made the move from NC to Ellicott City go smoothly. This was our 9th move and Karen Lawlor was by far the most knowledgeable and helpful of all. I would recommend Karen Lawlor to anyone considering a move, you couldn’t make a better choice.
— Fred & Thelma F., Ellicott City
Karen was always accessible and flexible throughout the entire process. From the staging suggestions to make our home more attractive, to her strong business sense and negotiation skills, Karen always presented a high level of professionalism.

We were so lucky to have Karen during this process of selling our home and buying a new home, she was simply amazing! We asked her a million questions and made things more challenging because we had a newborn and toddler! But, she was a constant source of knowledge, patience, and positivity. She went above and beyond to make sure we got our forever home! I have to share how she kept our toddler on schedule by setting up his pancake breakfast and entertaining him while we were prepping our house for photos and taking care of our newborn. She is also fantastic at staging - she did such a good job that our home buyers also asked to purchase most of our furniture! We all love her so much and have already recommended her to all our family and friends! If you’re looking for a realtor who puts all her time and energy into making your home buying/selling dreams come true, look no further than Karen Lawlor!

If it wasn’t for Karen we couldn’t have a new house in Silver Spring, Md. She negotiated like a pro. Karen guided us through bidding against another family and made sure we won! During the inspection, she got the other agent to pay for one of our listed repairs! Karen helped us through the very confusing process of buying our first house. Karen was alway available when we had questions. We weren’t the easiest family to deal with but Karen handled it like a pro!

Karen found several properties that met my specific requirements. When I made an offer, she handled it quickly and accurately. She “held my hand” through all the paperwork to get to settlement. She even made an extra trip to the property so I could measure the space.
— Chris K., Columbia
Karen was such a pleasure to work with and we got more for our house than we imagined! Her help with connections to the right people to spruce up our house and her amazing work staging the home was wonderful! It made the house shine and her marketing plan helped us sell in the first weekend. We were out of state and she helped us manage things from afar making process so easy. We cannot recommend Karen enough!
— Genevieve M., Columbia
Never had a house-buying process go this smoothly. From the moment I met Karen Lawlor and the team, I knew it was the right fit. It is a woman-owned company that is highly professional and expertly managed.

I had the challenges of downsizing and a renovation. The team came up with wonderful ideas for my rehab and sent me photos of wonderful remodels and renovations at a price point that was very reasonable.

They gave me a timeline (3.5 weeks) and stuck to it. They priced the house and listed it after the reno. Two days later there were offers on my home above the asking price!

The renovation was gorgeous and I got what I asked for (and then some). I recommend Karen Lawlor and The Wendy Slaughter Team without hesitation.
— Elisa W., Jessup
Karen Lawlor of the Wendy Slaughter Team was amazing! It was my first time selling a house, and she helped me sell my Columbia Maryland townhome quickly and efficiently. She gave the best advice all throughout the process, and hooked me up with a great team of contrac-tors to do necessary repairs and improvements to the property. She was always responsive and enthusiastic, and especially helpful during the negotiation and closing process. Thank you, Karen, and thank you, Wendy Slaughter Team!

Working with Karen was a blast! Her enthusiasm was so helpful as we navigated the challenges of buying a house in Baltimore. She was on our wavelength and really understood the kind of home and community we were searching for. Thanks, Karen!
— Jeff G., Baltimore
As a highly anxious first-time homebuyer I anticipated our search would be grueling.
Karen’s positive attitude and energy, deep knowledge of the market, and great taste kept me motivated until we found the right home. I would recommend her services to anyone!
— Rebecca A., Baltimore
Karen took time to talk with us to get a clear understanding of our needs, concerns, and timeline. She gave us great advice of how to improve our home (within budget) so that it would show it at it’s best. Communication is very important to Karen; she responds to calls and text messages quickly as well as kept us informed of interest shown in the house and competition in the area.
— Melissah Lara, Columbia
Karen’s knowledge in the areas of home staging and selling is beyond impressive. Coupled with her engaging manner, tact, and personality, she was a true delight to work with. The ways in which she staged our home for resale, using primarily our own possessions arranged in ways we never would have been able to come up with on our own, created such an inviting space that was almost unrecognizable to us. Because of her expertise, we had three solid offers and sold our home within six days! In addition, because of her tenaciousness, she was able to find our next home for us - an absolutely perfect place for us; in fact, she found us our Dream Home! I would highly recommend Karen Lawlor to anyone in the market.
