Karen Hall
Stop Doing Listing Presentations – Do Marketing Consultations Instead
9 – 10 AM Keynote Presentation
People will pay good money to have a consultation with a professional in an industry where you have a need, and when you are selling your home that is marketing. Karen shares step by step, her entire marketing consultation, and exactly how she consistently wins listings and sellers don’t even ask how much she charges for her services.
About Karen Hall
Karen was “just a military spouse” with a BS in Psychology, during 9/11 and until 2003 when one final military move brought her and her husband to Northern Virginia searching to purchase their very first home. Having a bad experience with that process prompted Karen to get her Real Estate license and “do” things better. After rising to the Top of her office with a large national franchise, she once again decided things needed to be done differently in 2010 when she broke out to create her own real estate agency.
Looking to brands like Nordstrom, HGTV, Virgin Airlines and Apple,Karen and her husband created a totally different real estate experience for consumers and agents that has been featured in the NAR magazine as a Broker Stand Out, Inman news, Military Times, NPR radio, Real Estate Today radio, and The Residential Specialist Magazine (for CRS). The Principal Broker and co-founder of @home real estate, licensed in VA, MD and DC, Karen is also a blog author for MilitarybyOwner.com, contributor to the MRP course, special delegate to Inc 500, and a speaker for the Virginia Realtors, MOAA, Inman Connect, CRS, and more.
