Karen Cota, Real Estate Principal Broker, GRI

My Story

From Customer Service to Principal Broker

My family is the main reason why I got started in real estate! I was working a customer service job and my youngest of four was five years old. That's when I knew it was time for a change, one that would let me be present for my family while building something meaningful.

I'm so thankful that I have been able to raise four kids and participate in so many family vacations and get-togethers, coaching each of the kids in T-ball, soccer, softball, and volleyball! I love being a coach and encouraging people, helping them however I can in every aspect of life.

I have a strong work ethic and drive for excellence, and a strong faith foundation. I am extremely blessed and highly favored! So grateful and thankful for everyone in my life and the success that I thank God for!

What Drives Me

I always keep a positive attitude and don't give up easily!

That's not just a tagline. It's how I show up for every client, in every transaction. When challenges come up, and they always do, I dig in, stay positive, and find a way forward. That's the difference between having an agent and having an advocate.
