A resident of Ocala since 1990, she brings more than 26 years of real estate experience and is known for her integrity, market expertise, and relationship-driven approach. Over the years, she has cultivated an extensive network of business leaders, entrepreneurs, property owners, investors, and community organizations across Marion County.

As the founder of Farm Tours of Ocala, Karen has introduced thousands of visitors to the people, places, and opportunities that have made Ocala one of Florida's most sought-after destinations for living, investing, and building a business. Through these experiences, she has developed an unparalleled understanding of the region's neighborhoods, equestrian heritage, luxury lifestyle, commercial growth, and emerging development opportunities. Her clients benefit from insights and connections that extend far beyond the transaction itself.

Karen represents clients across a broad range of property types, including luxury homes, equestrian estates, commercial properties, residential communities, and land for development. Whether helping a family find their dream home, guiding an investor toward the right opportunity, or assisting clients relocating to Central Florida, she is committed to delivering exceptional service, strategic guidance, and results tailored to each client's unique goals.

Outside of real estate, Karen embraces the Florida lifestyle. She enjoys kayaking the state's crystal-clear springs and waterways, trail riding, and participating in the occasional friendly stick-and-ball polo match. At home, she shares life with two beloved retired horses, Toby the Labrador Retriever, and Vinnie, her teacup Yorkshire Terrier.

Karen believes exceptional real estate is built on trust, lasting relationships, and a genuine understanding of the community. As part of the team at Ane & Co., she combines deep local roots, an expansive professional network, and a personalized approach to help clients confidently navigate every stage of their real estate journey in Ocala and throughout Central Florida.
