About Karie
I have been assisting my clients with their real estate needs for 40 years. I graduated from Western Michigan University with a BS Degree in business and realize that real estate, and helping people with the most important purchase of their life was what I wanted to do. Real Estate is my passion.
I am very lucky to live and work at Lake of the Ozarks. It is a blessing to live in a location that most people can only vacation. I would love to share the dream of Lake of the Ozarks with you.
