Kara was incredible to work with. She found us the perfect house, and kept us updated throughout the entire process. She was with us every step of the way, and even after we closed stayed in close touch to make sure everything was going smoothly and answer any questions that arose. She was incredibly patient with our many questions, helped us figure out exactly what we were looking and where, and made us feel some comfortable throughout the process. Her knowledge of the city, the market, and her commitment to finding the right house for us are unsurpassed.

Kara was so amazing to work with when buying out home. We originally told her we just wanted to be ready should the right house find us, but we were in no rush to buy. She made sure that we were set up with the right lenders & pre-approved, so that we could move fast when we were ready. The second home we saw was on the market for one day, we tried to get in for a showing but they were full. About an hour later, Kara let us know the sellers extended showings for a half day and there was one spot open. I truly believe Kara may have talked them into extending showings but I don't know. We saw the home at 10am with Kara's assistant Lidija, at around 10:30 we said let's put in an offer and Kara had to write up our offer by noon. Kara got everything in on time, talked to us on the phone about 100 times that day to make sure we knew what was happening, and by 6 our offer was accepted. Kara helped us through inspections. She was at the walk through & of course, the closing to make sure we understood everything again. Without Kara getting everything ready to go for us on the front end and being so realistic and honest with us about what offers would be considered in the crazy early 2022 market, we would have never gotten our house. She was responsive, had great knowledge of the area and the market, and she made sure we beat 13 offers to get our dream home. Cannot recommend Kara enough!

Kara has helped us buy two homes and sell one and was invaluable to us! She is so knowledgeable and we felt in the best hands throughout all of our buying and selling processes. Kara is honest, understanding, realistic, a true advocate for her clients, and FUN. She was always available to answer questions and offer guidance and made everything seamless. Would recommend Kara over and over!

Kara is a top notch real estate agent. She is extremely professional and very knowledgeable regarding the Atlanta market. She responds very quickly to any questions or concerns. She listened to our expectations and negotiated our contract accordingly. I would strongly recommend Kara if you are in the market to buy or sell a home.

As a first-time home buyer, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but Kara made it all so easy and understandable! She was so great to work with and really helped me make good, informed decisions. She is so knowledgeable about all of the neighborhoods in Atlanta and the home-buying process in general. Plus she is super friendly so is fun to see houses with and has good relationships with other realtors. 11/10

Kara helped us navigate the process of buying a home from out of state in early 2022 right before interest rates took a hike, just about the toughest time to buy a house in the Atlanta area. She was able to set up full days of viewing homes for us while we were in town just for a day or two and already had all the info on the homes we were looking at before we got there. In a weird twist of fate and timing, we found a perfect home in Peachtree Hills and she was able to leverage her relationship with the listing agent to get us into the home before pictures were even taken. I'm a results-oriented guy, so here's what matters to me: During this entire process, we made one offer on one home and it was accepted, for a price we were comfortable with, something pretty unheard of in that market. The lender Kara suggested got us approved despite changing jobs in the move, and she has stayed in touch after the fact with help along the way. What else could you need?

Kara was nothing short of fantastic for us. As first time home buyers with a very specific wish list, Kara knew exactly where we should be looking and how to make sure we got the fairest shot at winning when it checked our boxes. We couldn't recommend her more.

Kara was an absolute pleasure to work with! Throughout the entire home buying process (which lasted more than 9 months for my wife and I) she was nothing if not consistently patient, communicative, and enthusiastic, while never losing sight of of our goals or our best interests. In the end, we were able to move quickly on a house we love in an incredible area, all because Kara fought for us. Cannot recommend working with Kara enough!

Kara was so easy to work with and thought of everything. She is a amazing job of price negotiating and will certainly use her again and recommend to friends.

Kara did an amazing job helping us purchase our first home. From start to finish, she was constantly on top of everything and kept us in the loop on the market. We purchased our first home almost during the height of the Atlanta real estate craze, and we would not have found our dream home for a price that we could afford without Kara's top-notch expertise!

We found Kara through a friend and we’re so glad we did! We bought our first home in March of 2022 and she was crucial in navigating the intense market. Her whole team is excellent and so easy to work with. We recommended Kara to some friends shortly after purchasing our home and they had the same great experience!

We had an amazing experience working with Kara. We had a pre-meeting to touring homes and give Kara all the details of what we were looking for. She was so quick to action if something came available that fit our needs and she was able to help us land a pre-market purchase for our home. She is so smart and so helpful but also extremely honest in the best way. She is quick to tell you why a property may be missing something you desire which we respected and appreciated during the process. She helped us both sell and buy and was amazing throughout the entire journey. I can’t recommend Kara enough!

Kara and her assistant Lidija helped my family purchase an investment property in the Atlanta area. Kara is knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. She gave us great ideas and was patient and responsive throughout the entire process. We were impressed by her negotiation skills and overall expertise. I highly recommend working with Kara and her awesome team.

Kara is an absolute rockstar! She made buying a house in this crazy market a wonderful experience. I was 8 months pregnant while we worked with her and she was incredibly considerate of every single detail. She took the time to make sure we were buying the perfect house for our family and I could not recommend her enough. We trusted her during the process and she did not disappoint.

We absolutely LOVED working with Kara to find our next home. She was completely dedicated to finding the perfect home and helped us get our FIRST offer accepted. I also had to sell my condo and she helped me time everything perfectly. We had multiple offers on the condo within the first weekend of putting it on the market! She’s even been a phenomenal resource after we closed both properties, giving us great contacts and advice, and helping us get connected to our new neighborhood. We’d 100% recommend her to anyone looking for their next home!

Olivia and Kara were fantastic every step of the way. Seriously could not recommend anyone better. They knew exactly how to structure a competitive offer to snag our dream home off market, and their strategy to list our house got it sold in ONE day for 113% of our asking price! We appreciated their candor and patience, both of which are SO important to finding a house in today’s market! We would 100% recommend both of them without hesitation. Also - they are the most fun agents and made this process a blast for us! -- Andy J

I felt compelled to write a review for Kara after recently purchasing our first home during the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic. My wife, Hailey, and I moved to Atlanta last year and have been staying in a family condo in Buckhead while we got settled. I was born and raised in Atlanta so while I am familiar with many areas and neighborhoods, a lot has changed in 10 years. Also, my background is in real estate, being a licensed Sales Person in the state of GA. With all that said, we could have never done it without Kara Woodall! What started out as a search for a rental house in Buckhead, quickly expanded into a search for a home and Kara was able to walk us through every step. From defining our search criteria to meeting with lenders, Kara was on top of it. She understood our budget and never seemed to mind our indecisiveness or constant changes. We looked all over Atlanta and Kara didn't miss a beat, knowing the best school districts and the pros/cons both OTP and ITP. She knew the neighborhoods that would be the right fit for us now, in a few years, and in the future when we want sell. Kara has an incredible network of agents and always knew about houses coming on the market days, weeks, and even months before they were officially listed. She would go above and beyond to get photos and videos of house so that we didn't have to waste time touring homes that would not work. When we toured together, Kara offered great insight on the area, the market, the house, and the price. She does her research and stays on top of all the listings and sales to know where a house should be priced and what a competitive offer should be. She was quick to point out things we could or may want to change and the modifications that may require more money or work than we wanted. Kara would also bring to our attention issues that could impact the resale value that we did not pick-up on. The best part of working with Kara was when it came time to put in an offer. We never felt pressured by Kara to put in an offer or offer more than we were comfortable with. She reassured us that we would find the right house. I've done a lot of real estate deals but Kara gave us specific guidance on how to make our offer more competitive in ways I would not have even considered. She knows how to win a deal! After we went under contract, Kara stayed on top of every detail. She hit every deadline, lining up inspections, survey, appraisals, and walk-throughs. She coordinated with our lender and setup the closing. She remained in constant contact with us throughout the process, even when the state was under a shelter-in-place. I will continue to refer all my friends, family, and even strangers to Kara. If/when it comes time to sell, Kara will be the listing agent.

Working with Kara was a great decision for our family. She made an otherwise complex and scary process simple and fun. She strikes a great balance between firmness in opinion and she does not hesitate to tell you the truth even if it’s not what you want to hear which helped to manage our expectations. Our partnership with Kara helped us to realize the right call was to walk away from a house under contract. She was instrumental in helping us to avoid a major mistake even though it was in her interest for us to purchase the home. I work for a large bank and anticipated working with them for lending purposes. By the time we secured a Pre qualification letter from them, Kara had facilitated a letter with a local banker and put in three offers on homes. She knows the local market well and moves faster than larger offices that aren’t as well versed. She is highly charming but will also fight fiercely for her clients needs. As a result she can propose stronger offers on accelerated timelines. This was what got us our house where we won against competing offers. She got our family in first before anyone else. I highly recommend Kara Woodall as a realtor and those who elect to pursue another option are missing out. As serious as her service is, she makes the process fun. I firmly believe we got a good deal on our home and would not have had as much success without Kara.
