Karen Bataille provided excellent service for our recent home purchase in Columbia, and for a purchase and sale of a condo when our kids were at Mizzou.

She is very thorough, honest, and responsive to all types of inquiries, even after the sale. She is very friendly and seeks the best solution to meet your needs. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area.

Don Schiller

I reached out to Kyle Edwards for help selling my home.

Kyle was extremely professional and knowledgeable on everything to include the state of the local housing market at the time. Kyle made the whole process extremely easy and quick. I couldn’t have found a partner person to partner with.

Blake Miller

Kelsey was kickass and great to work with!

Taylor Castillo

Very attentive and polite.

Always willing to answer questions.

Sabrina Perkins

The Beckett’s rule!

! Second home in 5 years with them. Wouldn’t work with anyone else!

Mike & Slone Nolan

Nick was fantastic in helping us find our forever home!

We had a few obstacles and he help us navigate it all, and made it as stress free as possible.

Morgana Bowers

Our realtor was kind and hardworking.

She listened to us and worked hard to find what we were looking for. She sought out answers to our questions quickly and replied right away to any concerns we had.

Patricia Quinsey

JD is great about getting back to me quickly when I call or e-mail.

He’s been fabulous with advice, especially as someone looking at properties from another state. I’d recommend JD or his firm to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in COMO!

Melissa Brennan

Karen Bataille is our real estate agent.

She's the best. Always helpful, very knowledgeable, understanding and a great negotiator. We recommend Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices because of Karen.

Cathy Richards

We could rely upon Brent Gardner to tell us what we needed to do for our house before listing it.

Both he, me and my wife were able to work in agreement and if we couldn't do it we were always able to find someone who could. With one exception. Tater did one job for us that he charged about double for.

Jeff Brotemarkle

Berkshire Hathaway and in particular Mandy Jury has been the best!

I highly recommend her without any hesitation. Go to her and there will be no regrets.

Mark Plaza

Nick is an awesome dude and won't disappoint.

I highly recommend their services, especially for first-time home purchasers.

Edward “Jake” Peak

Jim Horton with Berkshire Hathaway was recommended by a friend and I am so glad we went with him instead of someone random from the internet (if you are looking for a realtor on the internet go with Jim!

). Jim is friendly, personable and felt trustworthy from day one. He was SO helpful and went above and beyond for us in buying our first home. He was at every walkthrough and showing, guiding us and noticing things that I never would think to notice. He was always clear and quick with his communication and made us feel like his #1 priority. He was competitive and helpful in the offer process and I really do not think we would have gotten a house without Jim!

Michaela Mitchell

Lindsay Beckett was amazing & helped us with every step.

Adrian Bolden

With many moves and home purchases over the years I know how important it is to have a strong real estate team in your corner.

I have very high standards and expectations of those profiting from my home purchase and when you have the right team I believe they’re worth every penny! I expect my realtor to be responsive and available. I expect them to be proactive and anticipate issues and resolve them prior to becoming problems. I expect them to be deal closers. I expect them to treat me like a family member or good friend and as if I’m their only client. When I decided to move back to Columbia I chose Berkshire Hathaway based on their reputation and knowledge and trust in their ownership and realtors. Not only are these great people that I personally trust, but they are nose to the grindstone real estate bulldogs that I want in my corner for all the reasons and expectations previously mentioned. Berkshire Hathaway delivered on our new home purchase a couple months ago and I’m very happy about my choice to use them. I would recommend Berkshire Hathaway to anyone searching for a professional experienced firm they can trust to handle their next home sale or purchase!

Kris Custer

The whole process was flawless!

The real estate agent kept me informed every step of the way. I couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Kenneth Hirsch

I have bought and sold several homes in my lifetime thus far and this last encounter with my realtor, Candace Cortez, and Berkshire Hathaway as a whole was so far above anything prior its hard to believe they provided the same service.

From the first contact, Candace was on it. It immediately felt like I was literally her only client from that moment on. She never pushed, only guided, me through the process, allowing me to pause where I needed, and when I needed. In addition to educating me in a way where I truly understood what was happening, Candace also helped simplify and get me in touch with the right service people for my new house. Because of this I called her "Jan's Muscle". I cannot recommend this team at Berkshire Hathaway more.

Jan Stapleton

Nick was amazing and helped every step of the way.

Joshua Elsworth

Highly recommend Berkshire - Great people to work with.

Will definitely use again for my next purchase/sell

Margaret Nichols

Cheyandave

Nick was very professional, and listened to what I wanted.

He responded very quickly, kept me in the loop with every step of the way. This was my first home buying experience and I was at ease knowing that my realtor had my best interests in mind.

Shannon Bufka

Elissa and Courtney helped me find and negotiate the purchase of a house that’s perfect for me.

They responded quickly when I had questions or concerns and provided very helpful information and advice. The entire process went smoothly with no surprises. I’m very happy with their service and very happy in my new home!

Eric Constance

When we chose to move from North Carolina to Columbia Missouri we found a jewel of a realtor in Julia Norregard.

She listened closely to what we were looking for in a home and worked tirelessly to answer all our questions and help us secure the house we needed. Being from out of state, we needed direction for services from many directions. Julia was knowledgeable and offered many suggestions for all of our needs. Her pleasant and easy demeanor made the process less stressful than we imagined it would be. Her professionalism was superb and she left no details overlooked. When we arrived here after driving 2 days, she made sure we had what we needed for a smooth and welcoming transition. We would wish for everyone to be fortunate enough to experience a home purchase like ours.

Bob and Pat Quinsey

Tiffany Jennings & Anthony Stephenson

! No question

Adam Cade

Great team to work with!

Justin Corbett

We ended up buying the second house he showed us.

He did a great job listening to what we wanted and was great through the whole process.

Matthew Bowers

Nancy has been amazing to work with!

She has been ON TOP OF EVERYTHING the whole time! When things turned bad (for a little bit) she did a great job of communicating with us and letting us know what to expect the whole way through. This was not a run of the mill, smooth sale, things have gone awry (many times) and she has always been right there, on top of things, answering questions and solving problems! She is THE BEST!

Robert Irvin

Karen is very upfront, honest, and hard-working, everything you want in a realtor.

We have used her twice and wound up with the ideal place each time! I would highly recommend her.

Mary Schiller

Karen Bataille was recommended to me by a friend who had recently worked with Karen to successfully sell her house.

I met with Karen and immediately liked her. She was easy going, and not at all pushy. She was able to guide me through some unique obstacles in the process of selling my home, and went to bat for me during some tricky negotiations with potential buyers and several local government agencies. Karen was a ROCK when I needed mental and emotional support, and knew just where to look for answers to any real estate questions that arose. I will whole-heartedly recommend Karen and her business partner Kelsey to anyone looking for help with real estate transactions!

Faye Nowell

Juliaa Norregaard went above and beyond for us and we couldn’t have asked for better in a real estate agent!

Ashley Schoen

Karen Bataille was an incredible realtor and person to work with.

Her expertise in her field and knowledge of the area were greatly appreciated in helping me find the right home.

Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish and they handled all the details with great expertise.

Excellent experience.

I have used BHHS for multiple transactions and they are always professional and on top of things.

I especially have had a great experience with Jody Calvin. Thank you!

JD does a great job of training his agents to keep them skilled and professional.

David Knox

We used Karen when our kids were in college, and again when we retired.

She found us the perfect place each time. Her no-nonsense attitude and wealth of experience helped us to look at things we might not have considered without her, which aided in making the right choice. I recommend her highly.

"We have purchased two homes and sold another with Karen. She is a dream to work with! My husband and I have tricky schedules during the work week, but she was always able and willing to schedule showings that fit our schedules. Additionally, her responsiveness was amazing; late night calls regarding offers and deals were the norm, as was a text thread that kept us updated on every twist and turn. As a buyers agent, she truly had our best interests in mind. She was never pushy regarding properties but was always willing to give her honest opinion on homes when requested. As a sellers agent, she made the process virtually painless. She met with us to discuss staging of our home, put lots of time, effort and money towards marketing and got us several offers within just a few days! We cannot recommend Karen enough; you will not be disappointed!"

"My wife decided it was time to downsize, so I contacted several area realtors. Karen quickly responded to my call, and even though I told her we were just shopping she sent us a lot of listings that met our requirements. Karen was very professional. She was always available by text, email and phone. Karen quickly arranged for us to see a home Debbie found on Zillow. It was the perfect house for us. Once we had secured a place to move, we listed our previous home. Within 72 hrs of we had #4 offers, and all were above the asking price. Karen oversaw the inspection processes, and facilitated all the administrative details. We were very impressed with her. I recommended Karen to my neighbor and one of our adult children and her husband. Our neighbor's house sold quickly, and our kids were able to purchase the historical home of their dreams. Karen is honest and dependable."

"Karen shows up and gets the job done. Period. She helped my husband and I list our home and to get into a beautiful new build here in Columbia, perfect for our family. Our listing was in contract on day 1! We were in to our new home just a month later! I work in the industry myself, so my expectations in an agent were high. Karen surpassed those expectations, and then blew them out of the water some more. She made us feel like we were her only clients, always available to field questions/concerns throughout the process. She kept us informed on the local market and helped us to make informed decisions as we went. Buying and selling in today’s market can be stressful and even a bit scary. With Karen, the process was fun and exciting! If you’re thinking of making a move, make no mistake, and let Karen make it a breeze for you and yours!"

"When we relocated from out of state, Karen was incredibly helpful in helping us find a new home in the craziest real estate market we've ever seen. She kept us supplied with new listings and when we had found a likely house, she helped us look the house over via video chat. Her knowledge of the market helped us quickly secure the deal and find a lender who could close in a short time with a minimum of fuss. We've been very happy with the house and are really glad we had such a great Realtor!"

"We met Karen while we were looking for a new home. We had several specific criteria in mind that few homes met. She was patient with us over the course of months, always happy to show us properties that we were interested in and keeping us apprised on new properties that came on the market. After a year of this Karen asked us if we might be interested in building a home to meet our needs. I was hesitant. Building felt overwhelming and time consuming, but I now sit writing this review from the home we built and moved into over a year ago. She walked us through the whole process of finding a lot, a builder, a house plan, and came to every appointment as we picked out trim, cabinets, flooring and more. She was always available, always fair and always represented us well. Karen is not a flashy or pushy realtor. She knows her stuff and if she doesn't know something she connects with experts to find out. Karen is fun to work with and I can't recommend her highly enough. She also rides a motorcycle which is pretty cool;-)"

"Right from the start Karen knew exactly how to WOW us with her amazing service! Karen came to asses our home and from the beginning was overly involved with what all needed to happen in order to make our dreams come true with selling & purchasing a home during a pandemic! Karen was a dual agent with us & wow it was great! Words can’t describe how grateful we were to have had the pleasure to work with Karen every step of the way. Karen gave us a very clear expectation of what to expect from the beginning. Karen went above and beyond to make sure we understood & felt comfortable in the process and had open communication the entire process! Karen is such a hard working, genuine person it made us feel like we had known her our entire life! We cannot wait to build so many new memories in our new home & absolutely refer anyone and everyone to Karen Bataille when it comes to selling & building!"
