We’ve always believed that the best realtor to sell your home is the one who knows your neighborhood best—specifically, the one who consistently gets results right where you live. For us, that was clearly Karen Cannon. Over the three years leading up to our sale, we watched her successfully list and sell numerous homes in our Dunwoody neighborhood—including several that had previously sat on the market for many months with other agents, unsold.
When we met with Karen and her assistant, Katie, we were immediately impressed by their professionalism and in-depth knowledge of the Dunwoody market. Karen confidently assessed our home as “turn-key” and recommended listing at $750,000, predicting strong interest and multiple offers within the first week. However, by the time we were ready to go live, a few new competing listings had popped up, and we collectively decided to adjust our list price to $745,000.
Having experience buying, selling, and flipping homes, we were very familiar with the selling process. Our home went under contract in just 5 days, which was great. But being an older home—as is common in Dunwoody—we anticipated some inspection findings and a reasonable negotiation on repairs. What we didn’t expect was one of the most exhaustive inspections we’ve ever seen: sewer lines scoped with cameras, an aggressive $12,000 fireplace repair claim, and ultimately, a request for roughly $50,000 in concessions from the buyer.
At that point, we were ready to walk. But Karen skillfully stepped in and negotiated the concessions down to about $32,000—an amount we were comfortable with to move forward. Throughout the entire process, even when we were stressed and likely not the easiest clients to deal with, Karen remained composed, professional, and committed to helping us close successfully.
If you're selling a home in Dunwoody, especially an older one, Karen Cannon is the realtor you want by your side. She knows the market, gets results, and brings a level of experience and professionalism that truly makes a difference.
