About

Karen is the managing broker for Lake Homes Realty of East Tennessee, serving Tellico Lake, Fort Loudoun Lake, Watts Bar Lake, and Melton Hill Lake. While she’s dedicated to helping clients buy or sell a home, her priority is empowering clients with the knowledge, tools, and resources needed for a successful experience—so they feel confident, informed, and prepared at every step.

Karen pairs her deep local expertise and decades of experience with the powerful tools of Lake Homes Realty, including advanced marketing resources and LakeHomes.com, the nation’s only platform exclusively dedicated to lake properties. When combined with Karen’s firsthand knowledge and steady guidance, these industry-leading tools become even more effective—creating a seamless, strategic advantage for her clients.

Lake community real estate isn’t one-size-fits-all, and Karen’s lifelong connection to East Tennessee lakes gives her clients a meaningful advantage. Having lived in the Lenoir City area her entire life, she’s witnessed lake communities like Tennessee National, Tellico Village, Rarity Bay, Grande Vista Bay, and others grow and evolve—and she brings local insight you simply won’t find on a listing sheet.

Karen’s love for lake life runs deeper than real estate. She grew up boating, swimming, and skiing on Tennessee’s lakes, and that lifelong passion came full circle in the 1990s when she purchased her own home on Fort Loudoun Lake. Today, she enjoys helping others discover not just a home, but a lifestyle—guiding clients to lake communities she knows and loves.
