About
The real estate market is something that has a direct impact on nearly everyone and I truly enjoy being able to play a part in helping people through a process that can be exciting, stressful, frustrating and joyful all at the same time. No two homes are the same. It is my pleasure to work with each client in order to identify their long-term goals and help facilitate a solution to achieve them.
I have been a Tampa Bay resident since graduating from The University of Tampa in 1994. Having spent many years in the greater Tampa Bay area I understand why this is such a desirable place to live. Whether you were born and raised here or you are newer to the area, I look forward to assisting you with any of your real estate needs in the beautiful sunny place we call home.

After choosing the wrong neighborhood/ area when moving from out of state in 2022, we made the difficult decision to sell our home that we loved in a tough housing market. Kara was available to do our open houses and she made our listing a priority. Her communication was frequent throughout days on market and closing went smoothly. Originally, we were planning on using a realtor more familiar with the new area we were searching, but Kara ended up being our choice because we trusted her and she was happy to travel to our new area during the search for our new home. Kara formed new relationships with realtors in our desired neighborhood and went above and beyond to find homes coming soon to market. Kara demonstrated exceptional patience during the process considering we wanted to take our time to find the perfect home. We definitely found the perfect home for us thanks to Kara!

Kara is just the person you want to be with walking around these houses. She is a calming presence, while also being funny and light hearted. She never made me feel rushed or like I was "asking for too much" even though I truly have lost count how many houses we saw. She listened to me and what I wanted and made a significant difference in helping me find the right home.

Kara Baer sold our FishHawk home in just two days and we closed within three weeks of contract! She was professional and organized and knows the market. Her pricing strategy was spot-on, her staging advice made a real difference, and every recommendation paid off. A smooth transaction from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Kara made a significant difference in the entire process. She made a difficult situation run smoother than we expected. She was on top of every step and kept us informed. It was a complicated situation which involved several parties. Thanks to Kara's professionalism the transaction was completed in a reasonable amount of time and without any challenges.

Kara is one of best real estate agents in the Tampa area. Selling a home is rarely a straightforward process, but Kara went above and beyond when we encountered several significant challenges during the sale of my grandparents property.
From the beginning, she was proactive and communicative, but her true value became apparent when the process became complicated. Kara remained completely composed, navigated the obstacles with expert strategy, and advocated for my family’s best interests every step of the way. Her ability to manage high-pressure situations, coupled with their deep market knowledge, turned what could have been a stressful ordeal into a successful closing.
If you are looking for an agent who is not only professional and hardworking but also possesses the grit and experience to handle difficult situations with grace, Kara is the partner you want in your corner.
