Senior Portfolio Manager at TD Waterhouse

Victor Pasta

"I have no hesitation in recommending Karin to anyone interested in exploring real estate either as a buyer or seller. She treats you with respect and is intuitive as she explores options to finalize a transaction that is a win/win for everyone. But mostly, she's just an easy person to like. A sense of humour always works for me, but never loses her professionalism."

Tirza Lowensteyn

"Karin has worked with us as a realtor when we sold and bought a house in Victoria BC. Her integrity and understanding of what we were looking for was commendable. Karin worked hard to find us the house we needed and was able to deal with the huge pressures we were under at the time. If we were to go out and buy and sell again I would most certainly seek her services again."

"Karin has acted as our agent on our first home purchase, as well as our current home sale and purchase of a lot. What could be a high stress experience has actually been enjoyable and we would highly recommend her to anyone."

Owner, CEI Architecture

JC Scott

"Karin is a second generation local realtor who started working young as a server at a busy restaurant while she was still a schoolgirl. She knows how to work, she knows service, she knows Victoria and she knows real estate. For me this makes a solid combination of skills."

Senior Design Partner at JC Scott eco DESIGN

Michelle Buchanan

"Karin was an exceptionally patient and helpful agent for us when we bought our house in the Fernwood neighbourhood of Victoria. She was always one step ahead of us in bringing to our attention all the aspects of the sale that we needed to consider. She brings to her work a lifetime knowledge of the area and is very detail oriented, responsive, and professional. I highly recommend her."

Experienced Freelancer

Barbara Bialokoz

"We recommend Karin Barlow, without hesitation, as a Real Estate Agent who listens, who is resourceful, and who has an excellent knowledge of the housing market in Victoria. None of this, of course, is entirely surptrising, as Karin grew up in a family who has been in the business for more than 50yrs. The fact that Karin found us two remarkable houses, both of which surpassed our expectations in location, price and suitability for our family and business requirements, is what you can expect when you work with Karin. She is patient, honest, very well-informed and will get you the deal you are looking for. We are so pleased with the house she found us 9yrs ago that we have no need to search further and I would without hesitation recommend Karin to anyone entering into the housing market, whether it is a starter home or a dream waterfront mansion, Karin will be able to make that move come true"
