Kari’s real estate roots go back to a family brokerage in Michigan that was started by her father’s family.  Her father was a residential appraiser for 30+ years, and her mother was also a real estate agent. As a result, she’s highly knowledgeable in all aspects of the purchase and sale transaction, as well as the ever-changing culture of real estate trends. Kari has over 25 years of experience and has been with the Pattie Murray Team for 15 years.  Prior to Pattie’s team, she worked with two well-known Wheaton top producing agents.  Kari is Pattie’s personal assistant, as well as Pattie’s marketing, transaction, and client relations guru.   In her free time, Kari uses her experience and tenacity to help friends, family, and personal referrals hunt for houses AND get top dollar for their home sale!  Born and raised in Wheaton, Kari also knows the surrounding towns like the back of her hand and is full of information and guidance for buyers and sellers. Kari currently resides in Carol Stream with her husband and two Pibble mix rescue dogs, Callie and Scarlett.
