Our experience with having Karen Fowler as our real estate agent was simply outstanding. This was the 6th home I’ve sold and Karen’s superior command of dealing with every issue was “above and beyond”! It was never “I’ll call you tomorrow’”, it was; “I’ll address the problem today”. I will always recommend Karen Fowler and John R Wood to my Florida friends and family. Thank you!!

Karen Fowler went above and beyond in showing us dozens of houses in several communities throughout SWFL. Her patience and diligence kept us focused on our priorities for selecting the perfect waterfront home for our needs, as there are numerous considerations for water access and house style, as well as neighborhood personalities. Karen steered us in the right direction over several months and multiple trips from out-of-state. We highly recommend Karen Fowler for your real estate professional.

Buyer Testimonial
- Karen was amazing. She went above and beyond. Last year she found a place for me to rent and this year she helped me find a place to buy. She did a video tour of home and handled everything on the Florida end for me including accompanying the inspector and communication on that end with realtor, sellers, and title agency. Karen went the extra mile to ensure everything went smoothly. She is an asset to John R Wood Realty.

- I was amazed at how helpful, professional and knowledgeable Karen was in dealing with every aspect of the listing and sale. She was truly exceptional! She kept in constant communication with me on the showings, and during the sale process, and took care of my house like it was hers. The sale was so smooth and seamless; I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to handle the entire transaction. I would highly recommend Karen, and already have.

- I had a wonderful experience working with Karen Fowler from John R Wood Properties. She made the whole process so simple from start to finish! Karen wasted no time getting my property on the market, holding open houses, working with potential buyers, and also listening to feedback and making changes to my property so it would appeal to more buyers in my market. She was always responsive and went above and beyond in her willingness to do what was necessary to have my property sell quickly and at a great price!

Buyer Testimonial
- We had some specific requirements for our vacation rental search and were paired with Karen after contacting John R. Wood. She could not have been better to work with! She sent us many, many property listings over a five month period and was unfailingly patient and upbeat as we tried to find just the right place in this very tight market. I think she was as happy as we were when something finally worked! Karen is professional, prompt, and tenacious and we’d recommend her without reservation.

Renter Testimonial
- I called Karen after a friends recommendation. She had also worked with Karen and was very pleased. I have never worked with a realtor that worked so tirelessly trying to find us a rental in the Fort Myers area for a month. She answered every phone call or text ( and there were many) from me immediately. I was pretty much resigned to the fact we would be spending the month in Mn. when Karen called with information on a rental that was listed with another realtor. We contacted him and we are spending the month in Florida. Thanks to Karen for her exceptional guidance, selflessness, and dedication, we are swimming instead of shoveling!!

- I live in NY and Karen was extremely helpful in finding me a beautiful rental in a great golf community for January 2022 in Fort Meyers. She got me the place even though everyone else I spoke to said nothing was available. She was very (and quickly) responsive to all my texts and emails as well – even after hours. I would highly recommend Karen!!!!!!! 5 Stars!!!!!

- I am more than pleased with the personal and professional service supplied to me on my first ever sale of a home. It was a difficult decision to sell but I couldn’t have asked for anyone more caring and supportive during the entire transaction. And I was incredibly amazing at how the entire process was so smooth, seamless and stress-free. She communicated with me with constantly, made suggestions and personally helped in ways that I never expected. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to handle the listing and sale and would recommend her, and already have, to anyone looking to sell or list their property. She will treat your home like it was her own sale………..with a personal touch, care and support.
