River Valley’s success is due in large part to our roster of experienced and hardworking agents. Here is an introduction to Deborah Karner
How long have you been a realtor and how did you choose to focus on this area? This July 2017 marks my 34th year in Real Estate sales in the New Hope and surrounding area. My husband and I fell in love with the River Valley area and moved to Solebury in 1976. We were both young puppies back then but we knew that we wanted to live in a home that had character and charm, and we found it in a quaint village in Solebury Township. That was our first property that we ever purchased and it is still where we call home. We lived through restoration and renovations of our home, while raising a family. And we continue to make improvements as that is the charge of our stewardship.
What made you become a realtor? My love of period homes and the lovely picturesque Bucks County and Hunterdon County settings was most likely the first inspiration to become a Realtor. I also by chance had met a wonderful Realtor, whose professionalism and integrity impressed me and with just a whisper of encouragement from her, I made a decision to become a Realtor. As a Realtor I found that I was able to help people not only look for a house but to find a home and a lifestyle that they would cherish. That to me is most gratifying. I’ve worked with many buyers who started out looking for a weekend place to live, but fell in love with our beautiful area and made our community their primary residence. Today’s Buyers are coming to us with a new agenda and technology. It is most critical to be able to market a property visually using websites and social media that will capture the audience, the buyer. This is one of the challenges in Real Estate that I enjoy.
What do you do when you are not working? In my time away from the office I savor time spent with family, especially my two Grandsons Samuel and Henry. I look forward to more travel plans as I love the beach and visiting warmer climates. But it always feels good coming back to my home in Solebury Village!
