HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Karen Cota, the principal broker of At Home Real Es- tate, feels well-equipped to help her clients because she’s lived through the tough times herself. She and her family had built their dream home on fi ve acres in the Coburg Hills near Eugene when the bot- tom dropped out of the hous- ing market in 2009. When she had to sell the home, it was devastating but she feels the lessons learned have made her a stronger broker. “The things I have gone through have helped me ask the hard questions on every- thing from owning proper- ties to managing rentals,” said Cota, who opened her new offi ce at 4131 River Road North in May. Even through the tough times, Cota maintained her membership in the local Mul- timillion Dollar Club for bro- kers with more than $1 mil- lion in sales annually. “A broker has to know the most important information – if someone is behind on KEIZERTIMES/Eric A. Howald Karen Cota recently opened At Home Real Estate on River Road North. their payments, for example – so that we can build a good, solid understanding of where the clients want to go.” As much as she’s interest- ed in her clients’ immediate needs and desires, she wants to be able to place a home purchase in a larger picture of what her clients hope to ac- complish. Now in Keizer, Cota is looking for new clients with homes to sell, buyers looking for a new place to call home and even property manage- ment opportunities. She would also like to bring ad- ditional brokers into the At Home fold. “I like helping people suc- ceed, whether it’s someone buying their fi rst home or a broker in their fi rst year. That gives me energy,” Cota said. For an appointment, call 503-990-6600.
