Helping Buyers Relocate To Florida
Kari loves real estate, is devoted to her customers and is passionate about helping everyone find their place in Florida.
A Venice Englewood Florida area resident for most her life, Kari’s focus is helping home buyers move to Florida, matching you with the very best community for your family's needs. Kari knows the local real estate market, the local economy and area school systems. Whether you are a first-time buyer, relocating from another state’ looking for a second home, vacation property or investment home; downsizing or move-up home buyer; or a luxury home buyer, the Southwest Florida area has something for everyone.
Helping buyers means learning about their dreams, needs and wants, and matching them to the perfect property, but staying within the budget allowed. Understanding the area real estate market, local economy, school systems, and available inventory is something Kari makes sure to stay on top of. Kari Battaglia has established through years of experience that buyers want a more invested level of service from their Realtor when buying a home. Kari works with a small number of great buyers to ensure the elevated level of service and personal attention they deserve. To provide that she needs to fully understand a buyer’s goals before looking at property.
Kari deals with all the paperwork along the way but does not ask you to sign anything until you have a clear understanding of it's content. She is there for all of your questions, no matter how many times you ask them. Her commitment to her task in finding you the perfect dream home is supported by her customer reviews.
