I have been a Florida resident for over 30 years.  Living in Miami, Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra Beach and currently beautiful Historic St Augustine.  I work throughout St Johns County with Buyers and Sellers and my association with Coldwell Banker Premier Properties provides significant resources and networks to assist customers.

In addition to my Florida Real Estate License, I am a registered Landscape Architect with knowledge of both commercial and residential development.  This experience provides an uncommon skill set with which to serve customers.

I love Florida and cannot imagine living anywhere else.  I find the flora, fauna and ecosystems inspiring and know you will too.

Favorite Quote: "Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature." ~Thich Nhat Hanh

"Karen’s dedication to finding us a home was steadfast and professional. It’s clear that she works long and hard to find the perfect home for her clients, and goes above and beyond what’s expected of a realtor. She is undoubtedly the best realtor we’ve ever known, but her kindness and caring nature is what really sets her apart. Five stars aren’t enough for this motivated yet never pushy professional. We highly recommend Karen Wilson." ~Brandi

“Karen was an excellent realtor. I was able to work with Karen remotely just as easily as I did in person. She was quick to respond back to any of my questions, supplied me with important information and spent as much time as I needed to see different properties. Karen worked with me right up to closing. She was very knowledgeable in all the local requirements for new home owners which was a big plus.” - Ron B

  • “Karen's help through our process of being first-time home buyers and new-build newbies was invaluable. Her knowledge of the area and relationships with local builders made finding our neighborhood not only easy but actually really fun. Having her on our team throughout the actual building process was vital, as we were moving from out of state and often needed eyes and ears on the ground for us. She has an eagle eye for new builds and knew exactly what questions to ask to make the process go smoothly for us. We could not have moved cross-country immediately into a brand-new build without her. Karen has the brain of an architect (literally) and the heart of a mom (also literally) and is the real freakin deal in the real estate game. THANK YOU SO MUCH, KAREN!  We love our new home.” – L & F

"Karen is the utmost professional. She is very knowledgeable of both real estate practices and the surrounding areas. She is a great communicator which we appreciated. What she doesn't have answers to, she seeks to find them for you. She is very patient and was a pleasure to work with in our lot purchase. We look forward to working with her in the building of our new home. We strongly recommend her for both the sale and purchase of your home. She will not disappoint!!” ~ Dottie & Danny

"Karen was wonderful to work with during my recent experience in purchasing a home. This was especially true since I live more than a day's drive away in another state. Karen was attentive to all my needs, truly listened during our conversations and asked great questions to help me zero in on the perfect home. She lined up multiple showings, and most importantly, successfully guided me through the negotiation process. Even after closing, Karen maintained the relationship by assisting with several final details with contractors. Nothing means more today than being able to trust someone. Karen proved her commitment and high level of professionalism time and time again!" - Brent

“My wife and I were thinking of selling our Townhouse in St. Augustine, and a friend recommended that we talk to Karen Wilson at Coldwell Banker before deciding on a realtor. With our primary residence out-of-state, we knew we’d be remotely closing on the sale, and therefore depending a lot on our realtor to keep things organized and moving on schedule. After an excellent first meeting, we signed up with Karen. She kept us up-to-date during every stage of the process and was very knowledgeable and professional while interacting with buyers and their realtors, the HOA, the title company, the inspection company, and all the others that need to be involved for a successful sale. I’m pleased to say she not only met our expectations, she exceeded them.” ~ Diane and Garry

  • "Karen was wonderful to work with in finding our dream home in St. Augustine. She always was available to us and her communication throughout and after the process was exceptional. She goes above and beyond to provide you with information about the area, subdivisions, home and community to ensure you are well informed .

"I have never had such a great experience with a Realtor as I did with Karen. She made sure everything was taken care and that I found just the right property. Karen was awesome and I would highly recommend her!!!" ~Tina M

"Karen was a delight to work with. Her knowledge of the area and quick responses to any and all questions and requests was much appreciated. She went above and beyond to help us with our purchase, even getting us in to tour the house we wanted with very little notice as we were departing for the airport! She continues to be available and helpful after the closing as we settle in.” ~S & S

"We reached out to Karen when looking for a home in St. Augustine, FL. We moved from the Northeast so this area was new to us. We made an appointment and Karen took the day to show us around, provided brochures, a map and remained within our price range. It took us about a year before we returned. During this year Karen remained in contact with us and would keep us informed of the market and listings. Upon our return she continued working with us until we found a home. During the signing of the contract, she negotiated on our behalf and did a great job! She was always willing to respond to questions and available to assist us throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend her services. Thank you, Karen for your exceptional service! May you continue to have much success!!"  - N & R

"I met Karen while on vacation in response to a listing. There is a historic condo building in downtown St. Augustine that I had wanted to buy into for years. She remembered me and stayed in touch for months. Almost a year later she sent me a listing for exactly the unit I had been waiting for. She then guided me through the process and helped me with local vendors from mortgage to insurance to valuation and inspection. She also personally went to meet these vendors so that I wouldn't have to travel all the way there. Karen helped me do a remote closing. Then she did the walk through for me and sent a packet with keys. I am so excited and thankful that Karen is so thorough, thoughtful and conscientious. I can't thank her and recommend her enough." ~Bill C.

"As I do not give out 5 star rating like candy, Karen exceeded my expectations on our year long hunt for our beach house.  A great balance of staying in touch but not overwhelming me. 

Most important was her attention to detail and due diligence thru the sale, before, during and After.
I thank you....!" - Ken S.

"Karen is amazing! She helped us navigate a very competitive market and was super thorough and responsive during the whole process. Usually within minutes of me finding a home to view and texting her about it, she would have scheduled a viewing appointment for the next day. Karen is also one of the kindest people you will meet. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking to buy a home in this area right now." J&K

  • "Karen Wilson is a knowledgeable, responsive, and extremely thorough Real Estate Professional. Karen strives to work tirelessly to gather all the information necessary to produce a positive outcome and experience for her clients.

    We first began working with Karen to find and purchase a dock slip that we could keep our boat at, since we lived in Vilano Beach. This slowly evolved into us deciding to list our Vilano Beach home to sell, and purchasing a new build with a deep water dock slip.

    Karen immediately began providing us with current market trends and information that would aid us in selling our current home, and finding a new one. Karen also designed stunning cards and mailers of our listed home for circulation.

    It was not unusual to hear from Karen regularly for updates, and we contacted her as needed - with any questions that we had. We knew that we could reach her any time, for any thing. We listed our home the 3rd week of April 2019, and had a full price offer in 3 weeks, closing on the sale of our home a month later.

    We were happily surprised at such a quick and seamless sale. We were out of town the month of May, so with Karen's help, I coordinated the vendors in response to the buyers' inspections, and Karen made herself available to meet with the vendors as needed, to insure that everything was completed in a smooth and timely fashion.

    Karen Wilson was a pleasure to work with. Karen met and exceeded our expectations, and we know that she will do the same for all of her clients. We highly recommend Karen Wilson, Real Estate Professional." - Karen G.
