Meet Your Agent

Hi, I’m Karen

Buying a home is one of the biggest moves you’ll ever make — and you shouldn’t have to make it alone.

I’m a Haitian-American Realtor and one of the top-performing agents at eXp Realty, licensed across the Greater Boston area and Rhode Island, and part of a team licensed in more than seven states. Most of the people I work with are first-time buyers and investors, and many arrive feeling overwhelmed. My role is to turn that uncertainty into a clear, steady plan — no question too small, no decision rushed.

Helping families build long-term wealth through homeownership is the part I love most, with a special focus on giving back to the Haitian community.

When we work together, you’re never just a transaction — you’re a neighbor I get to help come home.
What’s Inside

Everything you need, in one place
