Reviews of Karen Syroid, REALTOR® - The Syroid Group of Gardiner Realty Royal LePage (Real Estate Agency)

Kim Maguire

Karen was recommended to me by a co-worker. After our first meeting I knew I picked the right relator for me! Karen listened to everything I could possibly want from a home and sent me loads of listings that fit that criteria. She also made me feel confident about buying my first place and answered all the questions I had about the process. I would recommend Syroid Group Real Estate to anyone in Fredericton looking to purchase!

Karen found us our dream house before it even went on the market. We weren’t actively looking but when she saw the house she thought of us, and we’re so happy she did. She also sold our other house in just four days. Karen knows her stuff. She’s also an honest realtor with a glowing personality, and she made the entire process a wonderful and exciting experience!

Melissa Foote

From the moment we reached out to inquire about the state of the housing market in Fredericton, to the final walk through in our new home, we greatly appreciated Karen’s knowledge, expertise and professionalism when navigating the intricacies of selling and buying in Fredericton. Her well thought-out marketing strategy included a beautiful video showcasing our home, that resulted in a high traffic open house and led to a very quick sale. We were all surprised by the prospect of moving into our new home during a pandemic but Karen and her team made it a breeze. This has been our second time working with Karen and her team and we would highly recommend their services.

Ben Wolthers

Karen helped us find our dream home in Fredericton. She was so patient, caring and fun to be around. Even though we didn’t fully know what we wanted, she helped us talk through the big questions. We couldn’t be happier with her and the Syroid team. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Brittany MacKenzie and cannot speak highly enough about her skill, energy, enthusiasm for real Estate. You’re in such good hands with these folks.

Taylor Smith

We needed to list and sell quickly. Karen gave us a number of suggestions to make our house more appealing, arranged the rest and had our house sold in less than a week for more than we expected. We were very happy with her service!

Kathy Hennessy

I can't say enough good things about dealing with Karen and the Syroid Group. I was on the hunt for my first home. Very excited, but also very inexperienced and had no idea what I was doing. I had no idea what I was looking for, just that I wasn't in a rush and didn't need to settle. I gave little to zero help or insight into what I needed, and it took a little bit of time, but she NAILED it. Karen & team were incredibly patient, helpful, and - just as importantly - just all around great people and a joy to deal with. I was put in touch with her through a referral and since then that referral network has expanded tenfold, for good reason. There is literally no one else I'd trust or want to help with my real estate needs or questions.

Jeremy Kitchen

Everything you could want in the home buying process! Karen and her team are amazing. They listened to what we wanted in a home, were honest when they felt we could find a better fit, found us the perfect first home, and followed up after the process was done. Is it normal to be excited to use a realtor again?

Angus Fletcher

great at selling houses if i'm being honest

As a single woman buying my first home, Karen walked me through every step of the process and alleviated so much stress! We found the perfect house well within my budget and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I had the chance to work with Brittany as well, and both women are warm, professional and know their business. If/when it's time to move or expand I will not hesitate to phone Karen again, thank you so much for everything!

Jeff Thompson

I have had the experience of purchasing a few different houses and properties. Karen is among the hardest working people in the business. She treats you like family, and the team works as hard as they can to sell your home and find your next home. I can't speak highly enough of my experience in selling my historic home with Karen and her tireless efforts in finding the right condominium. Karen will work hard to make sure that you not only find a house but your next home. I couldn't be happier with how responsive Karen and the team were throughout my sale and purchase. I wish I could find some criticism to make this review a bit balanced. But you know, I honestly can't think of anything that she could have done differently or better. Best in the market, and you won't be disappointed.

Emma Bicknell

Great friendly and professional service. Great advice. Great personal service. They get the job done and are super efficient. We recommend Karen and her team to everyone we know.

Bethany Nichols

Karen Syroid and her team are stellar! They all have this outstanding ability to make it look easy and feel easy too, and they get the job done with the highest level of professionalism. My husband and I together have bought and sold with Karen and we had the best experience. Buying your first home can be scary and overwhelming, but Karen put us right as ease and walked us through every step. She was honest and supportive, and does it all with a fun upbeat style. I didn't just find a realtor I found a friend.

Randy Mills

When I asked my friends about realtor recommendations I quickly discovered that everyone loved working with Karen and her team. She helped us through the entire process and found us the perfect home (the morning it became available). She was able to recommend inspectors, lawyers, and just made everything easier than I thought it could be. I would recommend Karen and her team to anyone looking to find a home.

Ash Furrow

5-stars for Karen! Really great experience, really helpful advice. She got us a great deal on the perfect house, all in an unprecedented market. Thanks again!!

Matt Héder

Karen went above and beyond for us! As first time homebuyers we were navigating uncharted waters, but Karen was there every step of the way to guide and assist. And her client appreciation events are unreal. Creative and fun for for all. Being a client of the Syroid group is like being part of a secret club ;)

Jennifer Blake

We were so lucky to have Karen as our agent during our move from Saskatchewan to New Brunswick. We were not able to view homes in person so she made sure we got all the details and were able to remotely view all the homes, using Facetime and LOTS of email/phone communication. We ended up finding the perfect home for us, and we wouldn't have without her. Karen is thorough, up-front and gave us her full attention as we searched. She's the best!

Karen Freeman

My experience working with Karen Syroid and the Syroid Group was amazing!! This team made the entire process easy, fun, and enjoyable. They took all the "stress" out of the process of purchasing a new home and went above and beyond at every stage! The amount of knowledge, recommendations, and transparency this team provides is incredible. Thank you again for making this such a fabulous experience!!

When it comes to sell or buy a property there are the feelings for it but mainly is years of efforts which come back to a financial decision and you really need someone to help you to protect those interest. The Syroid team does that, when they say they are looking out for you, they are. Personally, having to do the process in such strange time (virus) and remotely, I could not be more grateful to had them in my side. I came because Karen’s strength and I leave with the peace of mine that every T was crossed.

Doug Tempest

Karen Syroid has been a wonderful real estate agent. Moving from Ontario and facing having to buy a house with only virtual tours, Karen did an excellent job showing us the house virtually and guiding us through any areas that will need to be looked at for maintenance in the future. After we completed the offer and acceptance, Karen has been very good in helping us through the process as well as working with the previous owners to answer further questions. To top it off we received a very lovely picture of the home as a housewarming gift. We are very happy with the house and are delighted with the results. Karen is very experienced and well-networked in the industry. I highly recommend using her for your realtor needs as she will definitely be able to help you get a nice property. Thank you again Karen!

Kirk Lewis

Karen and her brilliant team really took care of me. They were answering my questions even before I knew what or how to ask. They made selling my previous, finding (I still don’t know how she found it!) and purchasing my forever home so simple, painless and stress free! I have and will continue to refer anyone that I know is planning to sell, buy or have questions to Karen and team.

Laure Handfield

Karen is the realtor everyone needs! The process of buying my very first home was such a breeze because Karen was there to help every step of the way. I also dealt with one of her assistants and got the same quality service. That team is so caring and it is clear that they want you to have the best experience, wether it be selling or buying a home. The professionals she recommended (home inspector, lawyer, etc.) were all awesome as well. I have not one bad thing to say about the Syroid Group. Thank you so much Karen for your patience and kindness!

Katie LeMoyne

Karen sold our first home and helped put us in touch with a builder for our "forever home". Her expertise not only had us priced & marketed right, but it also got us through some obstacles too. We had obstinent tenants who made real efforts to delay our sale and tough inspectors with potential buyers who played every game in the book it seemed. But she took everything in stride and solely found us a buyer in the end. Without that level of dedication and experience, I don't know that anyone else could have done what we needed. We are forever grateful!

kady ouimette

I have done photography for the Syroid group multiple times now and I can honestly say they are my FAVOURITE to do photos for! Down to earth people that really can make you smile. Buying or selling with them your definitely in good hands!

Bronwen Mosher

Karen found us the perfect house in the perfect neighbourhood. We have been here for 4 years and I cannot find one thing I don't like about this house! When we were house hunting, we saw this one online but it hadn't made our shortlist of places to visit... enter Karen. Karen takes the time to get to know her clients and what they want, and she knows how to find the perfect place. Karen's help is INVALUABLE if you are looking for your forever home! Call her today!

Dylan Greer

The Syroid Group did a PHENOMENAL job selling our previous home in record time and an even better job finding us the place we call home now! We had a very long list of "wants" that we were looking for and tight deadlines to meet but Karen and the whole team somehow made it happen! Highly recommended!

Karen has been an immense help and support in finding my new home. Moving from Montreal to Fredericton’s surrounding area during a pandemic is hard enough as it is, but this was also my first home purchase. Karen was friendly, professional and kind during the whole process. She answered all of my first time homebuyer questions and helped put any worries at ease. A big thanks to her and the team at Syroid Group for my new home which suits my needs perfectly. For anyone seeking realtor needs, I would 100% recommend the Syroid Group.

Craig Astle

Karen and her team where exceptional when we purchased our home. We were very happy with the prompt service and attention to detail that Karen provided.

Leah Steeves

Karen was easy to work with, honest and professional. She was available and responded quickly to questions. I highly recommend her and her team!

Jolane Sorge

We used the Syroid Group to buy our house. Karen was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, responsive. Throughout the search, purchasing, and closing process she was thorough, had an eye for detail, and went above and beyond to advocate for us. I would highly recommend Karen and The Syroid Group for realty service and would definitely use them again!

Craig Doucet

Excellent service! Found several options within the profile we were looking for. Personally drove us around to each location as we were not from the area(pre-covid19). Very satisfied in all respects in dealing with the Syroid Group.

Win Naugler

Karen and her team are courteous and friendly, prompt in responding to questions and very professional. We highly recommended the Syroid Group. Karen is interested and willing to learn. She did a lot of research about the Passive House building standard, including talking to the former CEO of Passive House Canada. She learned the facts and used them wisely in presenting our home. Thank you Syroid Group.

Benjamin Litowski

Excellent service from Karen and her whole team! Strongly recommend as a seller and a buyer!

Scott Chamberlain

We worked with Karen Syroid for both the sale of our last home and the purchase of our new home approximately 3 years ago. In my opinion, Karen and the folks at Syroid Group are second to none. They work extremely hard for you, listen to your needs, and always make you feel like they are looking out for your best interests. She made the entire home buying process easy from beginning to end, answering any question we had about the process along the way. I’d like to give you an example of how hard Karen worked for us. When we first met her, we gave Karen a “wants list” that we had put together for our new home, and the price range we were looking at. I thought for sure that we were looking for a home that was out of our reach. In the end, she delivered. She found a home that we really liked, met our “wants list”, and was in our price range. Three years later we still love our home and it’s in many ways thanks to her.

Meghan Roebuck

Karen and her team were absolutely amazing! Karen provided 5-star professionalism, knowledge about the community and so much more. From answering many emails and texts, virtual tours and our offers, she was wonderful to work with and made us feel safe and secure during our out-of-province purchase of our new home. So many thanks and we wouldn't hesitate to use you again in the future or recommend you to others! Go Syroid Group! You women are fantastic!

Ronald Francis

Karen has been everything we could want in a Realtor. She is professional, very knowledgeable and will give you her honest opinions. My wife and I have no doubt in our minds that she will find us a home that meets all our needs. She helped us sell our last house and made the process very simple. I would recommend her to my friends and family in a heart beat.

Vivian Scott

Easy to work with, enjoyed working with her. Thanks

Mark Rushworth

Karen Syroid, at the Syroid Group is THE BEST! We knew very little about buying a house in Canada when we moved here 4 years ago from the UK. We had two days in Fredericton to look for our new home. Karen spent the entire two days with us showing us over 20 properties. When we found our dream home (the final one she showed us) she helped us to get it within our budget and even after we bought it came up with some great ideas for improvements and renovations. In the UK realtors don't have a great reputation. I have told so many people about our great experience with Karen and the Syroid Group. Far too much to say on this review. All I can say is, if you want to buy or sell a property - speak to Karen. you won't regret it.

Elisha Ritcey

Karen Syroid was highly recommended to my husband and I, and she completely surpassed all of our expectations! She was extremely responsive, thorough, and just an overall pleasure to work with - the perfect mix of both candid and professional. She has superb knowledge of properties in Fredericton and surrounding areas, as well as connections to top-tier service providers. This gave us the ability to purchase our first property with confidence. We love our home and could not recommend the Syroid group enough - there's a reason why the team is so well-known and sought after throughout the community! If you're debating on whether or not to reach out to the Syroid Group for your buying or selling needs, just go for it. You'll be in great hands!

JOCELYN ELSDON

We enlisted Karen to find our first home in NB while we were still living in Ontario and she pulled out all the stops. She was professional, communicative, and extremely responsive - no matter how many questions or concerns we brought to her. We appreciated her humour, grace and above all - her honesty. We valued our experience with her so much, we once again enlisted her services to purchase a cottage and the experience was just as positive as the first. I highly recommend Karen Syroid and any of her colleagues for your real estate needs.

Elaine Chow

My husband and I have sold and bought with Karen. She is exceptionally knowledgable about the real estate market, provides detailed analyses for recommendations on pricing, and supports her clients to make the right choices for themselves while providing guidance. I have recommended her to others and would certainly do so again.

Julie McAllister

I would highly recommend Karen Syroid as a realtor. She was incredible. Very professional and knowledgeable and helped to guide us through a very stressful situation. Julie and Mark McAllister

Albert Snelgrove

Attentive. Very professional. Helpful

Ryan Mackness

After coming highly recommended, we contacted Karen Syroid. This was an important move for us and Karen prepared, supported and guided us each step of the way. Karen was proactive in her advisement of Fredericton real estate and showed us homes remotely so we could get a feel for properties and neighbourhoods before we arrived. Karen was an expert and true professional making the experience of an out-of-province move as smooth as possible. From our first conversation, Karen was wonderful to communicate with and took time to understand exactly what we were looking for. It was a pleasure to work with Karen and we are so thankful for her assistance in helping us find and successfully purchase our home.

Sean Bartlett

Karen and her team were professional and effective during our last home sale. Highly recommended if you want to sell your property!

Jessica Newman

Karen Syroid is INCREDIBLE! Above all, she is honest and transparent. You can trust her completely, knowing she'll be real with you - because she truly wants what's best for you. She's a master negotiator and one smart cookie, too. I cannot recommend Karen enough!

Lesa Maxan

I highly recommend choosing Karen. She is professional, knowledgeable and works hard for her clients. The house sold within a day of going live and for full asking price. High quality staging and photos generated a lot of interest. Thank you for helping navigate through a very complicated process.

Katie Wilson

The Syroid Group helped us find our dream home, and supported us throughout the entire process of buying our first home! They answered all of our questions, as well as provided all of the relevant information that helped us with all of the details involved with buying a home. We recommend them to all of our friends and family. :)

Kate Leblanc

Karen Syroid is simply the greatest realtor you could ask for. I have used Karen for both buying and selling, and her professionalism and care go beyond. With Karen I always felt cared for, and both times I worked with her she was able to support me quickly and efficiently to make my vision a reality and take the stress out of the experience. Karen is talented, brilliant, and incredibly warm-hearted, and I feel grateful to have met and worked with her.

Julia Thompson

We loved working with Karen and Syroid Group. Syroid Group is the full package - people who care and who don't just talk the talk but walk the walk. It is their attention to detail and the down home attitude that really impresses. Karen made hunting for a home fun and rewarding and she made selling our home easier - we came to her on the back of trying to sell with someone else and it was a fall 180 degree difference, in the best possible way! From explaining even the most basic elements, to providing detailed reports and analyses on our listing and viewings, to helping us stage, to providing really practical support, like turning on the lights for showings while we were at work, we felt like we were Karen's ONLY clients, even though we weren't. She has continued to provide us support and advice in the years since, including advice on what to weigh when considering renovations and upgrades. Ultimately we can recommend Syroid Group because of the mutual relationship we saw modelled in their business - they are lovely people who understand that their clients are not just 'clients' but also people, and at the end of the day that is what it is all about!

S Ellis

Karen was amazing! My husband and I were relocating to Fredericton from the United States and she was able to help us find our home and knew exactly what we wanted through virtual consultations and showings! The transition to a new city was a lot easier with such a great realtor! Highly recommend!
