Karen is a native of the Keys. She was born and raised here in the Beautiful Florida Keys by her father, the late Clyde Edward Williams (June 20, 2018), and her mother, Doris Jean Williams. A dedicated hardworking professional, Karen worked locally as a Restaurant Manager for 17 years with the same company, before retiring to be a full time REALTOR®. She uses her knowledge of the area to help her buyers and sellers make the best decision for them. Karen credits her father and her mother for her work ethic. "My father owned his own Landscaping Business, working long hours, and still found time to tease my mother, love on his family, and stand firm in his spiritual convictions. Rain or shine, he was on the job. I hope I make him proud every day."
