Send a message to Karen Mayer

Karen Mayer has been representing home buyers and sellers of Oahu beach communities for almost 15 years. A graduate of North Carolina’s Duke University, she grew up in a small coastal town in Connecticut, giving her a blend of New England’s discipline and the southern spirit of cooperation, loyalty and perseverance. She brings her clients a lifetime of entrepreneurial experience, marketing expertise and fierce competitive dedication to getting the job done and doing it right.

Karen’s ability to close the deal has been perfected through three decades working with her husband, Paul, as they’ve founded and grown businesses together, always focusing on setting a higher bar and being the best in the market. With over 30 years of in-the- trenches marketing expertise, Karen has the finely honed instincts necessary to leverage market knowledge and a deep understanding of the forces motivating buyers and sellers. Among her peers and clients, she is known for her keen valuation instincts, utmost discretion, and her attention to detail in every aspect of the transaction.

Karen and Paul’s first island purchase was a piece of land on St John, in the USVI, where they planned to build a second home. After moving full-time to Hawaii, they sold that land and began investing in real estate on Oahu. Their Lanikai home is the fourth project they’ve designed and built together, a testament to their love of real estate and what makes a property a home. While much of Karen’s time is devoted to her clients and her family, she can also be found on the tennis courts, enjoying the sunshine and ocean at the beach or walking the Lanikai loop.

Travel is an important part of her life, so it’s not unusual for her to be negotiating deals while on a ski trip to Canada, Tahoe, or the Rockies, or to be advising her clients while on recent trips to Japan, Croatia, Slovenia and multiple trips to Italy. It’s a big world out there, but she feels fortunate to have Oahu’s palm trees and sandy beaches as her home base. It is hard for her to imagine living far from the ocean, and she loves to help others follow their dreams of owning a home near the beach.

Helped me buy and sell homes

This is my second time working with Karen and I am very pleased. She helped us to buy our condo a few years ago and we liked her so much we called on her again when we wanted to sell it. We were not disappointed! Karen knew the market , responded quickly to our many many questions and was a excellent negotiator . We had solid multiple offers within 4 days , we ended up closing for Above our asking price. Beyond knowing the market and being a good negotiator I was very impressed that Karen went the extra mile to stage our condo, she carried things including plants and chairs up 3 flights of stairs! Our condo looked so nice when she was done with it I had second thoughts on selling it!!If you want to work with a good solid agent whether buying or selling I recommend Karen Mayer. She has alot of experience, she's dependable and will work hard for you.

Helped me buy and sell homes

We have worked with Karen in the process of buying our condo when we were first time home buyers 6 years ago and again selling it now. She goes above and beyond to make the process smooth and efficient, saved us money in multiple areas, and gave solid advice to get us a deal quickly that was above our expectations without any major headaches in guiding us through the process. She is very good about communicating with you every step of the way, and it is clear she is very knowledgeable of the market and has reliable local connections and recommendations to assist with any jobs you need to get your place ready for sale. On top of all this, she has kept in touch with us all these years, has sent thoughtful gifts knowing and never missing an important event in our lives treating us like family. We very much enjoy working with Karen and would recommend her to any looking for a solid realtor.

Karen was a true professional and I'd recommend her to anyone looking to sell property on Oahu. She was prompt with all communications, diligent and honest in all of her assessments as to what would make our property sell, and fair in her negotiations with potential buyers. Whenever I needed an assist with a local vendor (landscaping, cleaning, etc.), she always had someone who was reliable and reasonably priced. Karen is GREAT!!!!

Helped me buy home

If 10 stars were an option, I would give 10 in all categories. This is my third home purchase and Karen is hands down the finest Realtor I have ever dealt with. As a matter of fact, I didn't realize how bad my other Realtors were until Karen showed us what a true professional Realtor is! She is extremely knowledgeable in the Oahu market, she understands the details of the transaction and guides her clients every step of the way, and, most importantly, she knows how to get an offer accepted. Besides her individual talents, she leads a team of professional experts that can provide the best advice, guidance, and save you the most money during you home buying experience. If you plan to buy a home on Oahu, you need to have Karen Mayer as your Realtor.laws, the

Helped me buy home

Karen was a first rate professional! She answered all my text/calls quickly keeping me informed about where the process was at each step. Picked out properties exactly in my price range with the amenities I was look for. Looking forward to working with her if I ever need help again! She was really experienced and patient with explaining how the purchase would go.

Helped me buy and sell homes

Karen was very good about creating itineraries for several trips we made visiting houses and helping us hone in on exactly what we wanted with her knowledge of the area and patience as we toyed with townhome vs condo. When we found the perfect place and they decided not to counter offer us, I asked Karen to check with them again with the highest offer we would be willing to make and she did so in a very smart way actually saving us probably around $5000. She was instrumental in getting us into our condo early as we were on a time crunch too and very helpful staying on top of the seller's realtor to make sure he wasn't delaying the process. Would definitely seek her help again in the future. She took much of the stress of home buying off our shoulders!

Helped me buy home

I highly recommend Karen for all of your real estate needs in Kailua! She stuck with us diligently in searching for the perfect place in Kailua to call home and while staying within our budget. We are extremely happy with the entire process and felt that it was thorough, quick, and easy. We even were able to negotiate well under the asking price and close in less than 30 days! Karen is very kind, knowledgable, and an compassionate advocate for her client. She was always available for us immediately when a new listing would become available or even when we needed to write an offer within the same day. Again, I highly recommend Karen for your future realtor!!

Helped me buy home

Karen helped us find a wonderful place when we moved from Virginia to Hawaii. She has fantastic knowledge of the windward side of Oahu and worked with our family of six to find the perfect home in a very competitive market. Once our offer was accepted she kept the closing process going smoothly even though we were 8,000 miles away and then facilitated a meet and greet with the sellers once we arrived on island. We could not have asked for a better representative throughout this purchase and would absolutely work with Karen in the future and recommend her to our friends.

This is our second real estate transaction with Karen and we cannot say enough about what a positive experience we had. Her expertise, guidance, and knowledge of the market were invaluable. We would highly recommend Karen & Elite to anyone!
