Meet Karen and Stephanie

With more than 50 years of combined real estate experience, Karen and Stephanie bring generations of industry knowledge, local expertise, and a shared passion for helping clients achieve their real estate goals.

Karen brings more than 41 years of experience as a top-producing REALTOR®, recognized among the Top 1% of REALTORS® in Santa Clara County and the Top 1% nationwide through RealTrends Verified. Her expertise spans residential, multi-family and commercial real estate, land development, relocation, vacation homes, short sales, and REO properties.

Real estate has been a family legacy for Stephanie from the very beginning. Her journey started at just one year old... the same year her mom, Karen, earned her real estate license. Growing up around open houses and home inspections, Stephanie eventually followed in her mother’s footsteps and officially entered the real estate industry in 2015. After a successful career as a stylist, she brings a creative eye, strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a personalized approach to every client experience.

Together, Karen and Stephanie offer a unique combination of seasoned expertise and a fresh, modern perspective. Their clients benefit from extensive market knowledge, strong negotiation skills, trusted professional relationships, and hands-on service throughout every step of the process.

Serving Morgan Hill, San Martin, Gilroy, and surrounding communities, Karen and Stephanie are committed to providing honest, transparent, and exceptional service while making every real estate experience as seamless and stress-free as possible. For them, real estate is more than a career... it’s a family legacy and a passion for helping people find a place they are proud to call home.

Testimonials

I had the pleasure of working with Karen Nelsen in February 2025 when she was the listing agent on a gorgeous Gilroy home. We had a smooth and easy escrow thanks to her due diligence and quick and friendly support. I was happy to be the lender for the buyer of her listing, and now we have happy families—all around. I highly recommend Karen as a long-time, hard-working professional agent who knows her market and is a pleasure to work with!

Hi Karen, just wanted to let you know that the funds have successfully arrived and everything has cleared on my end. I really appreciate your help throughout the entire process—it’s a relief to have everything completed smoothly. Looking back, I also want to thank you for your support a few years ago when you helped me purchase this same house. It’s quite something to go from buying to selling the same property with your guidance on both ends. That kind of continuity gave me a lot of confidence, especially knowing I had someone experienced who understood both my situation and the property history. Throughout this sale, I appreciated how you handled the details, coordinated the process, and kept things moving even when things got a bit complex. It really reflects the value of having a consistent, knowledgeable agent who can support clients over the long term, not just at a single point in time. I’m glad I had that with you. Thanks again for everything, and wishing you continued success with your future clients.

Karen always made us feel comfortable, supported, and confident. At times when the process felt overwhelming, she reassured us and helped everything move forward smoothly. Her experience, attention to detail, and commitment to her clients truly set her apart. More than anything, Karen treated us like family. That level of care and kindness meant the world to us.

Working with Karen was honestly such a great experience from start to finish. She helped us find a home that’s perfect for our family, and at the same time made the process of selling our old place feel way less stressful than we expected. She was always quick to respond and patient with all our questions. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and isn’t just there to close a deal. We’re so grateful for everything she did and would 100% recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. Thank you, Karen!

Karen Nelsen is the best! Her marketing strategies, attention to detail, and how she handled difficult situations with ease are remarkable. She was honest and had great communication skills. She went above and beyond to make sure our house sold. I highly recommend Karen Nelsen.

Karen and her team are top tier. I did not know the home buying process could be this smooth. I wouldn't consider working with anyone else after my experience with Karen and her team, as they are truly industry experts and advocated for us at every turn. No details missed, no stones unturned; we could not be happier!

So many great things can be said about Karen and her team. This is the second time we have worked with them. They’re dedicated, hardworking, and will always go the extra mile when working with you. No matter how large or small your property, they treat everyone the same, making sure they are heard, valued, and getting the most out of them and their services. I wouldn’t go to anyone else if I were buying or selling; you don’t need to look any further! Give them a chance, and I know you will be just as happy as my wife and I were after working with them!

Perfection! Stephanie and Karen are the dream team. We were a pain in the butt; I believe we looked at 20 properties before choosing our home, and they were patient and always made time for us. Their responses to us were so quick and helped us truly understand the process.

Quick and great ongoing communication, and a very hard-working agent. We would use Karen again for any transaction! She worked quickly to list, show, and complete our sale, and took the necessary measures to assure us that our deal went through correctly.

Karen was "on it" from our first meeting until closing. It's obvious that she is an expert and gets results. In our case, the first offer came in two days after listing for significantly more than asking. From listing to closing, Karen was there coaching, encouraging, and seeing to all the details. Would we recommend her? Absolutely! Thank you, Karen, for being such a reliable, trustworthy advocate!

Highly recommend! Have now been working with Karen and her team for four years, buying, selling, and signing leases with her help. This team is, in a word, gritty. They did not back down when our deal was difficult, complicated, or when the timing of new information came at Friday night at 9 pm. They were always on their game and willing to talk through their strategy. You name it, we saw it. This one had a lot of twists and turns, and we never would have made it to the end successfully without her professionalism and experience. I have an extremely high customer service standard, and Karen and her team set a new bar with their responsiveness, competence, and confidence in her strategy. We are extremely grateful to her and her team, and will recommend them to anyone who wants to see their deal get to the finish line.

Karen Nelsen is a great negotiator and worked tirelessly on our behalf. She worked closely with us every step of the way. She also knows many professionals who helped us with additional inspections, quotations, and professional guidance. Karen and her team have the pulse of the local market at their fingertips. Their communication throughout the buying process is phenomenal. Karen was referred to us when we moved to Morgan Hill, and she did not disappoint. One of the inspections turned up a concern on a retaining wall. Within two days, Karen dispatched a structural engineer and a contractor to estimate the severity and the repair costs. Timing was especially important as our contingency period was short. This was critical in the final negotiations. In the end, it was not a major factor, but it did help better the price for us. If anyone is interested in purchasing or selling a property in the Morgan Hill area, I am not sure how you could do any better than the Karen Nelsen team.

Thorough, thoughtful, trustworthy, and follows up. Sold our house in 4 1/2 days—unbelievable in what is becoming a buyer's market. Best selling experience I have ever had.

Karen and her team made me feel like part of her family. I was updated constantly and always felt like I was her primary client. I have used Karen to purchase my residence and to sell it. I will most definitely use her services again and recommend her to all my family and friends.
