• To Whom It May Concern:
  
  Went above and beyond what I expected from a realtor-- getting the house set up (staged) twice and frequent communication.
  
  The part that was quite extraordinary occured while I was at work and Karen just happened to drive to Mt. Vernon from Seattle to get some papers signed and found my dad very confused and anxious. Karen stayed with him and made phone calls until I was located and stayed with him until I got home. Now that is a true friend!

• To Whom It May Concern:
  
  We have heard about the great reputation of Lake & Company Real Estate, Inc. Having very recently purchased a home through Lake has confirmed that reputation.
  
  Karen Sorensen was our agent, and we could not have been more happy with her! Karen was patient, attentive, kind, helpful, and always accessible. Her professionalism and knowledge allowed us to breeze through the purchase of our first home. This first time experience had the potential to be a high stress one. Not so with Karen!
  
  We could not have had a more perfect agent to help us successfully acquire our first, perfect, lovely, dream house. Even the contacts that Karen had suggested to move us through every step of the process were outstanding. The whole team was exceptional.
  
  We highly endorse Karen Sorensen and Lake & Company Real Estate. We look forward to sharing our positive experience with others!
  
  Very sincerely,
  
  Kurt & Cecilia Archuleta

"For those who want a buyer's agent who takes the time to learn what her clients are really looking for, Karen is an ideal choice. When my wife and I were ready to buy, she maximized our search time by diligently investigating available homes and sagely selecting, for our review, those which best suited us. She helped us think beyond our preconceptions but was never pushy. I'm confident that her approach helped us craft an offer that won approval amidst multiple competing offers. We're utterly satisfied with the result."
