What are People Saying About Kara?

  • I worked with Melissa to buy a home and she made the process so easy! This was my first time going through this process and she happily answered all of my newbie questions. She was very patient and responsive! She is also great at negotiating and we got our house for ~20k below the asking price. I’d love to work with them again in the future.

  • Absolutely loved working with Melissa Murphy on Kara Pierce’s team to buy a perfect home for my family in Lancaster. We weren’t easy clients: we were looking for a home remotely from 1,000 miles away and we had many priorities (and many of them competing) that made it tough to find THE house. Melissa was incredibly patient, professional, and persistent. Melissa brings three towering strengths to your home search: 1- She’s hungry for continued refinement of our search criteria. Melissa reached out after every showing to discuss detailed feedback to refine our search moving forward. 2- She’s a ruthless negotiator and will work like crazy for the best interest of her clients. She knows the game, ins and outs of the contracts, and how to best represent her clients. 3- Melissa is a fabulous communicator. I always felt heard, and she always followed up on next steps If we ever need to move again, without question I will work with Kara Pierce’s team again.

  • We would NOT have been able to get our home had it not been for Kara. She advocated and pushed for us and did what felt was literally impossible. We seriously have our DREAM home and it is 100% credited to her. A home is so much more than a building. For my family it represents finally setting down roots after years of transition. It means creating a safe haven for our family and friends. Kara knew how important getting our first home was and she was bound and determined to find us our perfect space...and she did. I have had multiple people tell me how shocked they were at how much time and attention Kara poured into us. We truly got the VIP experience with her. With that being said, not only was Kara the best realtor we could dream of, I truly feel we made an amazing friend in the process! She is fun, personable, and the ultimate hype woman. Words cannot express how grateful I am for her and her amazing team. I know I will never be able to fully repay them for what they have done for us, but hopefully some amazing gift baskets will have to do. :)

  • To put it simply, Kara is an amazing realtor and I’d never shop with any other. I bought my first home through Kara and she was extremely patient with me and helped me understand anything I didn’t. She is extremely personable and always puts her clients’ needs first. When I wanted to squeeze in a showing/offer last minute, she and her team made it happen in no time at all

  • Opportunity made it necessary to sell quickly, off-season. We adored Kara after she sold us our home 5 years ago, so it was a no-brainer when it came time to sell. Kara got us on the market and made it possible for 31 families to see our home in 3 days! We had 5 offers, an awesome bidding war, and set the neighborhood record for sale price! When the buyers tried to push last-minute demands, Kara "took no tea for the fever"! I will NEVER list with another agent; no one is better in Central PA!

“Extremely knowledgeable and professional…”

We are so pleased with the way that our house-selling process went with Kara! She is pleasant and easy to work with, as well as extremely knowledgeable and professional. It felt like we really didn't have to do much and she had our house under contract before it even officially hit the market.

Can't say enough positive things about her and the way she handled the whole process (including how stunning our house pictures were, which she and her husband do themselves!) We are so grateful to her for her hard work!

“Top notch service.”

She is an outstanding agent who provides top notch service. From start to finish, Kara used her knowledge of the market, network and connections, and negotiating skills to achieve results. She is professional, energetic, and highly competent. She made the process as smooth as could be hoped for. In a word, Kara is remarkable, and I strongly recommend her without reservation.

“The whole process was easy and very low stress”

There isn’t enough space here to write all of the wonderful things I have to say about Kara and how grateful we are to her. She is the epitome of professionalism and expertise. She addressed every concern we had in a very timely manner, provided useful feedback on the homes we looked at, and helped us select the best fit for us. The whole process was easy and very low-stress. We had previous experience with other agents in the area, and truthfully there is no comparison. You want this woman on your side.

“Adds a personal touch…”

Kara is far from the first realtor I’ve worked with. She adds a personal touch that I have never seen before. Selling your house can be really hard and time-consuming. Having dozens of people walk through and having to have your house constantly show ready can really wear on you. Kara shows a lot of respect and actually once you to be happy with the result of her work. She has a lot of contacts and she’s great at networking. We had two dozen showings in the first 10 days. She’s also really good at negotiating on your behalf. And if you have any questions and concerns, she gets back to you within a few hours. In our case, our house went under contract within the first 30 days. However the buyer almost backed out on settlement day. Kara was able to pull off the sale anyway and it saved an entire headache of having to do it all over again. When working with Cara you have to put your trust in her. She knows what she’s doing and she has your best interest in mind. She understands so much more what’s going on them I possibly could have. She will follow through and she will get you to your goal.

“Amazing at negotiating!”

Even though buying a house can be a headache, Kara made this experience so much easier when I knew I could rely on her completely to do the job and do it right! Whenever we had any issues in the process, she took care of it. She will get you the best deal on your home, Kara is amazing at negotiating!
