Karen Storey truly believes that all individuals are connected and the Real Estate market influences the growth of a local community. Karen is committed to “stitching” our real estate, business, and educational community together in a comprehensive and cohesive environmentally sustainable “green” society.
Karen Storey served as Subject Matter Expert for the NAR GREEN Designation and is also a Keynote Speaker on “How to Become the Green Voice of Real Estate” in your local community.

Karen’s Mission: Passionate to help others achieve “the next level” in their business to produce measurable, positive, long lasting results. Believe that life is a “win-win” for ALL, when built on a solid foundation of respect, integrity, and accountability. We are no longer a “self-sufficient” community, but are interconnected in a global market place. Each local community leaves its ecological and carbon footprint which identifies its “grassroots” effort in the global market. It is crucial we support each other within our community, and in return providing a cohesive environmentally sustainable global market place. When we do this everyone wins!
