Buy with someone who lives here.

The buyer experience

From first walk-through to keys and champagne.

Buying in a historic district is different from buying a production home. Foundations, additions, flood lore, HOA (or lack of one), walkability to the square — Kari has seen the patterns for seventeen-plus years as a historic McKinney resident and board member of the McKinney Historic Neighborhood Association.

You’ll get clear communication, creative negotiation when deals get sticky, and introductions to inspectors, lenders, and trades who understand older homes.

1. Listen & map the search Lifestyle, budget, architecture, schools, and non‑negotiables — before we chase listings.
2. Tour with context Not just “three beds.” What this block feels like at 7 a.m. and on a festival Saturday.
3. Offer & negotiate Strategy that protects you without leaving money on the table for the wrong reasons.
4. Inspect, clear, close Transaction coordination keeps timelines tight while Kari stays on the big decisions.
