Karin is the gold standard. She is knowledgeable, professional, and a joy to work with. We appreciated her wisdom and now consider her a dear friend.
I was so grateful to find Karin to help sell my late mother's house. I live out of state, so it was crucial I find someone with knowledge of the area in Virginia where my mother's house was located, and who understood the charm of an older house with good bones! When I first met Karin at the house, it became quickly apparent that she really had a passion for the unique architectural details inside the house. I was also impressed by her knowledge of flowers and plants, as she enthusiastically pointed out the many heirloom varieties that my Mom had in her garden. Karin's keen eye and love of decorating really came through in the photos for the listing—from her placement of the furniture to the lovely arrangements of magnolia leaves she made for the fireplace mantel and dining room table. I couldn't recommend Karin more highly. She was truly a pleasure to work with. She is warm and professional, and was very quick to respond to questions from the start of the process all the way through to the closing.
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Karin Andrews. I met Karin about 2 years ago at a property she was representing. I was immediately struck by her impressive presentation and genuine personality. Although that property did not work out in my favor, I continued to watch her listings for possibilities, knowing full well that she would have a quality product. Over the course of 2 years, I visited 3-4 more properties that she represented, all of them amazing, until finally I came upon one which I loved. Karin again presented it in a manner that showed all of its positive qualities to perfection. Working on the deal, she was in constant communication with my agent and even my lender to close the deal successfully. Karin goes above and beyond to represent her properties and her clients. Even though I was the buyer in our transaction, I still felt she was doing her absolute best to deliver me the best service, and home, that she possibly could. Her website asserts “Experience, Diligence, Results” and I can wholeheartedly verify Karin exemplifies all of these and more. Thank you Karin!

I have known Karin Andrews for decades through a church we belonged to in Richmond. Years ago. She moved back to Tappahannock and started a new life for herself there. Fairly recently, I had clients who had a waterfront property in the Northern Neck that they needed to sell and asked for my help. I knew I could count on Karin to take care of them. The sale was complicated (a home in need of attention) and the owner died between the time Karin got a contract and closing. She faithfully stuck with my people and got the job done and done well. When dealing with an elderly couple, you need someone that is good and that you can trust. I give an unreserved opinion endorsing Karin and her services.
We searched the state of Virginia for two years using many brokers and the internet, looking for our perfect retirement home. We saw many homes in that period, but none met enough of our criterion. We met Karin from one of our internet finds and though the home we saw did not fit us perfectly she asked the right questions about why that was and asked if she might be able to call us should she come across property more in keeping with our needs; character, tall ceilings, property and water. Little did we know that “should she come across” meant she would scour the state for us for many months, showing us many promising properties and finally finding exactly what we had been looking for to make Virginia our home state. We were very fortunate to find someone as diligent as Karin, never once taking us to a property she had not previewed before and helping us with contractor resources as well as doing substantial investigations to find other local ones to help us through the critical vetting period so essential in a property of this kind. We highly recommend Karin for anyone looking for a unique Virginia property.
We want to thank you so much for being part of making our dream come true of owning waterfront property in beautiful Mathews County, Virginia! Your responsiveness and attentiveness to our needs during our property search was second to none – we really appreciate your kindness and professionalism!
Karin is the best realtor that I have ever utilized. Her professionalism and knowledge of her niche market helped us navigate through the difficult sale of a unique property. I feel that she represented us in an aggressive and thorough manner. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a skillful and hardworking professional in real estate.
We selected Karin Andrews to be our realtor for a historical family home after a significantly long search for the “right person”. She brought to the endeavor spectacular photography, hard to beat print materials, efficiency, and thoughtful vetting of potential showings. Her network skills are immense, and her utilization of marketing skills are prolific. She is passionate about her work, she is highly professional, and quickly sizes up issues of significance. We cannot say enough good things about Karin. She has become a good friend of our family. Definitely 5 stars!!!
It is with pleasure I share with you my thoughts and experiences with Karin Andrews, an extraordinary person with many talents. I first hired Karin as an artist for a project in our home in 2000. Thru the years we have collaborated on everything from floral arrangements, to magazine articles, Garden Club events, digital pictorials, and kids playing by the pool. AND of course, she has been our realtor as she began in that profession and beyond. Her knowledge of our property was amazing including its history. Her capability to put the property in pictures with music and beautifully written descriptions is incredible! I have seen many variations of others similar works but none that captures the soul like hers. We, and our families, have become long-lasting friends.
Karin Andrews is unlike any realtor we’ve ever worked with before. What started out as a professional relationship quickly became a warm friendship. A kind and thoughtful woman, she is a person of remarkable talents who enthralled us with her working knowledge of Ben Lomond and all of Essex County.
