Hi!  I'm Karen Moore


As the founder and owner of Mountain Rest Realty I believe ethical real estate practice is what will set this brokerage apart from all others.  The Golden Rule is what distinguishes a REALTOR from a real estate agent.  As proclaimed by the NAR Code Of Ethics, "No inducment of profit and no instruction from clients ever can justify departure from this ideal."  I believe this.  We practice this.


After 5 years of working as a real estate agent I knew what I liked and disliked about the industry.  I found it easy to be swept up in the multitude of business tools promising success.  However, I found only confusion and dissatisfaction.  Taking my own advice of "If you want to be a good seller (buyer), think like a buyer (seller)"; I chose to explore "If I want to be a good agent I need to think like a client".  On that journey, I found my answer.


Mountain Rest Realty was born out of the need for simplicity.  So, I focused on the foundation of this industry and embraced the SC Real Estate Commission and its purpose:  "to regulate the real estate industry so as to protect the  public's interest when involved in real estate transactions".  Simply put, I beleive when I protect my clients' interests we will be successful.

Sellers Representatives

Selling a house on your own can be an overwhelming task. There's advertising to plan and budget for, open houses and private showings to arrange, purchase offers to negotiate, contract contingencies to worry about, and complicated paperwork to fill out. Make it easy on yourself by putting your home in the hands of a seasoned professional. I have extensive experience marketing properties and showing them to their best advantage.


First, we'll perform a comparable market analysis to determine the most appropriate price for your home. Then we'll provide home staging advice and suggest landscaping changes that will help draw buyers in. We'll advertise your home through a variety of methods, including local publications and online MLS® listings.
