Karen Cannon
When Karen Cannon and her husband Anderson launched their brokerage in the middle of the 2008 housing crisis, many saw risk. Karen saw an opportunity. She believed the real estate industry needed something better: higher standards, stronger professionalism, and a deeper commitment to the client experience. That vision became Karen Cannon Realtors, now one of the most respected boutique brokerages in North Atlanta.
Karen Cannon is the co-founder and one of the visionaries behind Karen Cannon Realtors. With over 22 years of experience in real estate, Karen has built a business that consistently delivers results while elevating expectations for client service. Known for her sharp negotiating skills and relentless drive to get the deal done, her disciplined business strategy and personal commitment to her clients have made her one of the most respected and sought-after names in the market.”
Before entering real estate, Karen built a successful career in corporate sales and marketing, working alongside Fortune 500 executives. Today, she brings that same strategic mindset to real estate, combining data, market expertise, and thoughtful positioning to guide clients through pricing, negotiations, and key decisions.
“At the end of the day, I know I’ve done my job when my clients refer me to their friends, family, and neighbors. It means they trusted me and saw the value I brought to one of the biggest decisions of their lives.”
As her team has grown, Karen has shifted from being solely a top producer to a mentor and business leader. She has built a collaborative structure that allows agents to focus on client experience while the rest of the team handles staging, marketing, photography, and operations. Her vision remains focused on thoughtful growth while protecting the integrity and standards that built her reputation.
Karen is a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) and has led KCR to be a top-selling luxury brokerage in Dunwoody. She is a longtime member of the Atlanta Realtors Association’s Top Producers, an honor recognizing the association’s highest-performing agents, and has recently been recognized with the Crystal Phoenix Award, presented to agents who have qualified as a Top Producer for 20 or more years. She has also been named one of the Most Influential Realtors in Georgia.
Outside of real estate, Karen finds balance through her faith, family, and a love of travel, entertaining, and time at the lake with her loved ones. She is proud to call North Atlanta home and remains deeply committed to serving the community she knows so well.
Testimonials
Karen Cannon and her entire team completely exceeded every expectation we had.
From the moment we decided to list our home, we felt overwhelmed and uncertain. Karen immediately brought a calm, confident presence that put us at ease. She guided us through every step with remarkable clarity, turning what could have been an incredibly stressful process into one that felt organized, transparent, and manageable.
The results were outstanding: 13 showings in just 3 days, followed by a full-price offer within that same short timeframe. That kind of strong demand doesn’t happen by accident — it’s a direct result of Karen’s deep market expertise, strategic marketing, and meticulous preparation.
Her entire team was responsive, proactive, and highly professional from start to finish. We always felt well-supported, informed, and confident that every detail was being handled with care.
If you’re looking for a realtor who delivers exceptional results while making the entire selling process feel smooth and stress-free, Karen Cannon is the one you want on your side. We couldn’t recommend her and her team more highly.
Working with Karen and her team was an outstanding experience. We bought and sold a home with her. She brought deep market knowledge, clear communication, and a thoughtful approach that made a real difference throughout each process. She was proactive, organized, and always one step ahead, which gave us a lot of confidence. If you’re looking for someone reliable and dedicated, we would absolutely recommend her!
Karen and her team were phenomenal to work with. We went live and had several contracts in a matter of days, during a slow market. Communication was clear, consistent, and they managed every step of the process, complete with calendar invites – thanks Beth! You know, selling a home is tough. Especially when selling to another realtor. I am so lucky to have partnered with Karen. She is truly the best damn negotiator I have ever seen. She protected our interests and got us through a very quick closing. Thanks, everyone!
We are so glad to have worked with Karen and her entire team. Karen activated all the vendors we needed to prep the house to photograph, list and advertise. She ensured it was priced properly and met our goal of having it hit the market quickly. We had many, many qualified potential buyers see the home. After evaluating multiple offers, we took the best one and Karen continued to work with us to ensure a timely closing and ease of transfer to the new owners. I was living out of state and managing the sale of my mother’s home; Karen took a deal that could have been complicated and managed all aspects of it. Thank you, Karen, Anderson and team!
We recently bought and sold our homes with Karen and it was the absolute best experience. We had some challenging moments, but were so glad we had Karen and her team to overcome obstacles and get the deals done. Truly a professional experience from start to finish, we cannot recommend her enough. This is THE team to help you buy or sell your home. Thank you for all of your hard work!
My experience with the entire team at Karen Cannon, including my agent Guy Goosen, was outstanding. Throughout the process their professional advice and counsel on positioning the property for an effective sale clearly paid off as we had a signed contract with a highly qualified buyer within 45 days of the listing. And then Beth Neal and her closing team made that a very easy process. Thanks to all at KCR. I think the agency of choice in Dunwoody!
Working with Karen Cannon Realtors and her entire team was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly supportive. Every single person I interacted with went above and beyond — it never felt like just a transaction, it felt like I had a full team of trusted partners guiding me every step of the way.
Their attention to detail, constant communication, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process smooth and even enjoyable. I always felt heard, understood, and 100% confident that I was in good hands.
If you’re looking for a team that treats you like family and delivers results, look no further. I can’t recommend them enough — they are simply amazing!
Karen Cannon has worked very hard for us and has now helped us buy 2 houses and sell 1 house. All 3 of these transactions were met with very unusual and challenging situations and she was a master at navigating through them to very successful conclusions. The most recent sale was, by far, the craziest situation we have ever seen in our buying & selling of houses (previous to these 3 transactions, we’ve bought/sold 4 other houses). The combination of an incompetent, uncommunicative agent and an inconsiderate buyer led to the contract they had on our house being both extended and ignored several times. This had a domino effect on the sellers of the house we were buying and the sellers of the house that our sellers were buying (literally, 3 houses were packed and ready to move with lots of money on the line). After weeks and weeks of lack of communication and consideration, our buyers finally defaulted. We thought we were going to have to unpack our house and let the family down who was selling their home to us. But we had Karen… I can only say it this way… she pulled a rabbit out of her hat, somehow generated renewed interest in our house, showed our now un-staged, packed up house 4 times over a weekend, ended up with 2 offers, 1 being a cash offer with a quick closing. Due to the domino effect, she literally saved 3 deals. That’s 3 families with lots of money on the line and time spent. This was not luck; she worked her tail off. She kept lines of communication open between lenders, sellers, buyers, agents and attorneys and was in direct communication with everyone.
And just to emphasize the working-her-tail-off point, prior to this, we needed to buy a house for a cross-country move in the Spring of 2020 (Covid shut-down time). I remember her walking through the woods behind our house in the rain on FaceTime showing me the property. Due to her bending over backwards to show us houses via FaceTime, we put a contract on a house sight-unseen and it was one of the easiest and stress-free Real Estate transactions we’ve ever had. And it is a great house; that’s how she described it to us back in 2020 and it has lived to up to that.
Karen is truly the best.
It gives me great pleasure to express my sincerest gratitude to Karen Cannon and her amazing team for the incredible work they did in selling our Dunwoody home. From the initial appointment to the signing of documents the Karen Cannon team were truly remarkable.
Thank you Karen and Team
I have worked with Karen Cannon realtors twice. First, Karen sold our home when we moved out of state and recently she sold my parents home. Both sales went smoothly. Karen always called or texted right back when I had questions. She’s a great negotiator and I always felt she had my back. The whole team at Karen Cannon Realtors is first rate. I highly recommend them!
