Karen Maxner has lived in Colorado for 35 years and moved to
Montrose, "The Gateway to the San Juan Mountains," in 2000. Karen has
two daughters that she enjoyed raising on the Western Slope and cherishes the
fact that she has been able to raise them in a town that is as wealthy
in outdoor activities as it is in culture. On a summer day, you will find Karen
hiking, mountain biking, camping and bird watching at the nearby State Parks in
the San Juan Mountain Range. In the winter, Karen likes to visit those same
recreation areas to cross-country ski and snowshoe.
Karen has a degree in Architecture and 23 years of
experience in construction and project management. She gained her Real Estate
License in 2005 and in addition to real estate sales, has managed her own and
her clients' residential properties for over ten years. Before acquiring her
real estate license, Karen personally invested in rental properties. This
experience, as well as her expertise in both construction and property
management gives her an edge on the current investment market which she passes on
to her clients.
A successful and driven entrepreneur, Karen
founded Prestige Real Estate and Property Management LLC in 2009. Since then,
she has managed more than 100 properties through the Property Management
sector of the business and sold many homes, ranches and commercial
properties/business opportunities while being a full-time Real Estate
agent. Karen has ranked among the top Realtors in Montrose. This accomplishment
is attributed to her dedication to being a full-time, committed, and
enthusiastic Real Estate Agent.
