Kari McCoy never considered any other career except real estate. After all, it is the family business. Kari's father has been a real estate broker for over 40 years and like Kari, works for Coldwell Banker. Kari's mother has her own real estate company in Rocklin; her sister, Lynn, and her husband are real estate agents at the El Dorado Hills Lyon Real Estate office.
Even after 22 years in the business, Kari is still passionate about her work. She believes her success has come to her because she always keeps her clients' best interests in mind.
"Most of my business has come from past client referrals," Kari says. I believe my success is due to the fact that I do business the old fashioned way -- always putting my clients' best interest first and making it an enjoyable, ethical experience. Most of my business is based on past client referral, which is the highest form of compliment one could receive. It says that not only would my past clients use my services again, but also they were so confident in my services that they go out of their way to refer me to their family and friends.
Kari came to El Dorado hills from the Bay Area in 1999. She and daughter Morgan (then 2 years old) moved to be near all of Kari's family and to give Morgan a better quality of life. Kari, who has always been with Caldwell Banker, immediately transferred her license to Coldwell Banker in El Dorado Hills and promptly began to work.
Kari received her real estate license 22 years ago in the San Francisco Bay/Peninsula Area and worked hard to become a top producer for Coldwell Banker.
During that time, Kari was awarded:
*President's Elite International Award
*Executive Club Award
*Lifetime Million Dollar Club Award
