What people are saying...

With an extremely narrow time frame of deciding to purchase a new home and then sell our old home, Kari was very attentive to every detail in the process. She knows this market inside and out and was able to sell our old home in five days! I happily recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in this area!

We had an amazing experience using Kari as our real estate agent when buying our first home! Could not have been happier with her expertise and guidance through every step of the process!
- amandajclark7
Kari has been wonderful to work with. She both helped us sell our home, and then buy our new one. She was honest in her assessment of both homes, and was very helpful in guiding us through the process of selling, buying, packing and dealing with the seller of our new home. She frequently called to make sure we were not having any problems with packing and finding a mover...even when she was on vacation. Kari went to bat for us in getting a fair price for both homes, and in working out any issues that arose. I would gladly, and highly recommend her as an agent. She has our gratitude and appreciation for all she has done in making this a less stressful, and more enjoyable experience. Thank you.

She made sure we fully understood the process and walked us through each step to make sure we were comfortable with any decisions that had to be made. She is full of knowledge and we would highly recommend using her if your looking to buy or sell!

- Holly Kubicek
This is the second house we’ve purchased from Kari and she helped us with the sale of one as well. After the purchase of our first home, it was clear that we wouldn’t want to work with anyone else. She goes above and beyond and makes sure all details are taken care of. She’s always represented us well and will be honest with you keeping your interest in mind.

Kari was absolutely relentless in finding me the perfect property! She was quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had during the entire process.

We had an excellent experience with Kari . She is always there to make sure your needs are met and everything goes as smoothly as possible. She totally cares for her clients. I would definitely use her service again if needed and I highly recommend her.
- Tim Halterman
Kari was very knowledgeable and professional. I was moving from out of state and did not know any realtors in the area. I was completely impressed with her helping me find the PERFECT home. I was 12 hours away and she found every way to help me and make her schedule fit mine. I told her what I wanted and she delivered! She is not only our realtor now but also a friend now. There are not many people that would go over and beyond like she did. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
- vandblehr
Top Notch! She really cares about her clients and will go above and beyond to make your transaction go as smoothly as possible. Buyers had some issues last minute before closing and Kari worked with them to figure out all options. Once we found out none of the options would work she was quick to relist our house and it sold again in a matter of days.
- misrex
From our first conversation, Kari made our experience a priority. We knew what to expect and what her plan was for listing our home. She listened to our questions and gave understandable responses. She gave realistic suggestions and respected our requests. Kari is genuine, she kept us informed and made the process positive from beginning to end. Thank you Kari!
- cmcmom0
Kari was very personable and really seemed to care about what we wanted in our first home. She was always available to get ahold of and made sure it was a happy experience, throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking to buy a new home!
- tylarschlichte
Kari helped us purchase our home in 2014 and she was the only one we would have used to sell our home in 2017. She is very knowledgeable about the area, honest , and truly just a great person. She recently sold our home quickly and handled all the details of the sale. We would not hesitate to call her again if we move back to the area. She returns emails and phone calls quickly. That is huge, as we never felt like we were on our own when we had questions about the process . Call Kari Juhl! You will not be disappointed.
- zuser20170622053810407

Kari was absolutely great to work with! She was very knowledgeable about the market and the area we were looking in. Kari was great with communication.

Kari and her staff were always willing to go the extra mile during my house buying experience. While this was my first time buying a brand new home they were very knowledgeable and helped the through the process with ease.
- jeffwill87
I honestly thought moving was going to be the most stressful thing ever and dont get me wrong, if definitely was at times; however Kari made the process so incredibly smooth! I could always count on her to answer my questions no matter the time of day or day of the week. The only thing we ever worried about was packing and moving. She did everything else for us! I would definitely highly recommend Kari especially if u want fast results with little to no work on your part. Thanks again Kari!

We would recommend Kari to anyone. She did a great job. She's always available for questions and was willing to work around our schedules to get things done. She communicated any info in a timely manner and has a lot of knowledge in this field. Thank you Kari!
- hawkeyerx
Kari assisted us with purchasing our first home. We were definitely nervous in the beginning, but Kari did a great job of informing us about the process and answering any questions that we had. She always went above and beyond in helping us find our perfect home. She even helped us put an offer in on a house on a Friday evening when she was out of town with her family. She was always very professional and genuinely cared about helping us find our first home. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to help us through this process. We will definitely be using her in the future and recommending her to family and friends!
- zuser20151222083643802
We worked with Kari buying our first home. We were not familiar with the area or the process and she made the whole experience so easy! She was patient with us while we were trying to figure out what we wanted in a house and willing to help us fight for a good deal. She was very quick to respond to any question we had. Even after we moved in she was still so helpful in referring us to any contractor or service we needed to look in to. We weren't sure what to expect buying our first home, Kari exceeded every one of our expectations and we couldn't be happier with the house we chose! She is professional, easy to work with, and genuinely cares about what the needs of your family are. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
- myers jessica199
Kari has made selling our house and buying our new house a simple and painless process. She made us feel like family and took the business feel out of the whole transaction. Kari was proactive in overcoming any obstacles, she was readily available to communicate over the phone or email at any time and she worked with a sense of urgency to get us where we needed to be in our time frame. We have found our lifelong realtor and can only hope our friends and family use Kari because she takes care of her clients and goes above and beyond in every sense of the phrase.
- ShelbyCavanaugh7
Kari was great. She was friendly, knowledgeable and kept working hard until we found our home. She was patient with us as we searched for homes in 5 different counties, often showing us homes in multiple counties in one day. She always arrived with a smile, understood our concerns and helped us through the whole process. We were delighted when she registered to be a Homes for Heroes agent so we could participate a program that gives back to local heroes. We love Kari Juhl!
- marcyraek
Corridor friends, if you are in need of a realtor, I can't recommend Kari Juhl with Lepic Kroeger Realtors® enough. I'm a little biased as I've known her since we were kids, but she was absolutely amazing in our home buying experience and was truly there for us every step of the way from start to finish! Thanks for the engraved rock Kari! We love it! I have to laugh at the fact that you gifted us a bottle of wine you bought from me too!! Don't worry! It'll be gone tonight!!
- Josh Figg and Bryant Duffy
Kari, wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for your generous house warming and appreciation gift to us! We love our "rock!" It looks great here at our new house and have received many compliments. It is the best size, too. Just right. The gift card was so nice and we will splurge on a date night some evening! And, of course, we will toast to you with the champagne!

You are so thoughtful and we truly enjoyed working with you on the house selling process. You are in the right profession for sure. You are very knowledgeable, caring and patient!

Thanks so much for the personal delivery! It was wonderful to see you and your great family. My apologies for the craziness that night you stopped. 8 extra people in this house started to make crazy memories! Think we might need a bigger house? Yikes!!!

Hope our paths cross again soon. You're always welcome here or I can meet for lunch too. Best always...
- Nancy, Bob, & Belle
Spring of 2014 we decided it was time to buy a house for our little family. After growing up in IC, I knew Lepic Kroeger was who we would go through (why settle for anything but the best, right?)

Kari was AMAZING!! We had a tight budget with big dreams and she found us the PERFECT house! She spent the better part of a weekday driving us all around Johnson county to show us houses and of course, the last house was "the one".

She answered my thousands of questions quickly, talked us through the whole process and after all the ups and downs we went through with the bank, she didn't give up on helping us get the financing we needed. She goes above and beyond and i would (and do) highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house!
- Dulin Family
I strongly recommend Kari as a realtor in purchasing or selling a house. Our experience was made so much smoother by working with Kari.

She has terrific follow through and is very trustworthy. I felt comfortable asking her all sorts of questions as we navigated the purchase of our first home and she always answered our questions with a positive demeanor.

Kari definitely knows how to navigate the sometimes confusing and challenging real estate world. We're so thankful she helped us through the whole process. Her knowledge, organization and people skills make her an incredible realtor.
-Joe and Steph Paulsen
Kari was an amazing asset to selling our former home as well as buying our new home! She was very quick with answering questions from everyone involved and putting any worries at ease.

For the purchase of our new construction home, Kari's knowledge of home details regarding construction and materials was helpful in making sure everything was just right.

Our former home sold in just days and we were enjoying our new home within a very short time. We are grateful for Kari's help in this big transition for our family!
- Schoon Family
Rarely does someone make an impression to motivate me to actually sit down and write a letter about it. Well, Kari Juhl has made such an impression. Kari is remarkable in that she is able to cover all the bases, all the time and make it look easy. Her professionalism, efficiency and natural interactions are purely amazing! I’ve never seen anyone so motivated, energetic, and passionate about what they do like Kari. I can say for certain that my husband and I were not easy clients; we had a lot of questions, concerns and sometimes hesitation when we decided to sell our house and purchase a new one. Kari was incredibly patient, understanding and very helpful in answering all of our questions and certainly putting our concerns at ease. But what’s best about Kari is that she listened to what our wants and needs were and made them a priority. Thank you Kari not only for helping us sell our house but also for helping find the perfect house we now call home! We couldn’t have done it without you!!

It was our pleasure to work with Kari throughout the process of selling our home and building our new home.

Kari has great knowledge of the market which helped us sell our home in a short amount of time. Throughout the 6 month process of building our home Kari was professional, conscientious and motivated to help create the home of our vision.

Kari went above and beyond when helping us find our ideal location for building, and then acting immediately to allow us to move forward. Kari was always prompt at returning our calls and getting back to us in answering all of our questions. She was incredibly attentive to detail throughout our design selections as we developed the look of our new home.

We highly recommend Kari Juhl to potential buyers or sellers!
- Dawn Cooksley and Barb Lynn

She went above and beyond to help us find the right home for us. She made it so easy to work with her and we are so very much satisfied with everything that has been done. Kari also helped us sell our home and it happened so fast it was awesome. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy and/or sell a home.

Kari took all the stress out of buying my first home! 

She was there every step of the way, from teaching me what to look for when visiting a property to helping me find quotes and estimates for necessary renovations. 

She excels at proactive communication, and she followed up with me after each part of the home-buying process. I would confidently recommend her to any friend looking to purchase a home! 
- Ashley Smith
Best possible experience. Kari is extremely knowledgeable about the local housing market. Very good at identifying important, essential, and nonessential features in the home buying experience. Extremely responsive and readily available, and gets answers very quickly. Very kind and personable. Great experience overall. Will definitely recommend Kari to my friends and family.
- west0550
We were an out of state buyer and Kari made the purchase easy and seamless! When we couldn't view a new listing in person, Kari was quick to get to the listing, and promptly send an in person video for us. Even a couple of months after our sale, Kari promptly has addressed questions and facilitated discussion with our builder for any questions or needs. Kari is a valued, prompt and honest realtor from introduction to close and further.
- ellewest611
Kari is a wonderful realtor, and did a great job helping us sell our house, we are very pleased with the experience. She was very informational and always available when we needed her.
- kaseyostrander
Kari is an excellent agent - she stands out from anyone else I've worked with during a real estate transaction. I appreciate her immediate response, as well as her follow up. Nothing falls off her radar and she always has her client's best interest in mind. She is well connected within the corridor, and her access to resources makes everything associated with selling a home much smoother.
- mindy13kimm
Kari was great to work with and I would recommend her to all my friends and family. She provided knowledge of area homes, and assisted with all my questions right away. She sold my condo in less than 24 hours of being on the market!!! She made my moving process so much easier.
- ljsrdonohoe
Calm, always cheerful and yet very professional is Kari Juhl. She always listened and made wonderful suggestions. She was amazing help in buying our new home and in selling our old home. Always on top of things and took care of the minutia we never knew about. And - she has stayed in touch with us to make sure that all is going well. We very highly recommend Kari! Ask for her and you won't be sorry. She's made this buy almost painless.
- schmalzorama
My fiance and I were already renting an apartment from Kari when we decided to make the terrifying leap to become homeowners for the first time. Kari had always told us that if we ever decided to look into ownership, she would be glad to help us with the process, even if it was just to answer questions.

From the beginning Kari walked us through the entire process. Meeting with us to find out what our interests were, looking at financing options, setting up automatic email's based on our preferences, scheduling viewings of potential properties in a timely manner; anything we needed, she was there and she was never hard to get a hold of.

When we finally settled on a property, Kari told us she would pay to have our carpets clean, would waive our current sublease fee, and even found us someone to rent our current unit! And as a token of her appreciation for us allowing her to be our realtor, she gave us some very generous and thoughtful welcome home gifts. I won't say what they were because I don't want to ruin the surprise for others but that was just perfect cap to a great process.

In closing, if you're looking for a realtor who treats you like a friend and not just a paycheck, is very knowledgeable about the market, and is willing to go the extra mile to see your dreams become a reality, Kari is the person for you! We were blessed to have had her at our side and look forward to doing business with her in the future.
- gsmansaray
I hired Kari Juhl when she first started out as a realtor to purchase my first home. Everything went very well and as smooth as it possibly could have. She was already very knowledgeable as she grew up in this area and currently still lives here. She has a lot of great resources and gets the job done! I was so impressed with her, that I recently just hired her again to sell my first home and purchase my second! She will always be my agent for real estate. 
- lefantlover
Kari was a life saver in our house search! She made her self as available as possible through out the process, and was always there with an answer or was able to get us an answer with any questions or concerns. She becomes an advocate for her buyers! In talking with other home owners about their experience with their realtors nobody compared to Kari. I cannot say enough great things about her!
- eheath8
My husband I hired Kari Juhl with Lepic-Kroeger Realtors® as our realtor to purchase our first home. 

Being first home buyers, we had alot of questions. With Kari's knowledge and extensive network, she helped find the right home that met our needs and wants. She also helped with customizing areas of our new home. During this process, she was patient, compassionate, and attentive. She made herself available to answer all of our questions and concerns. I felt like I could count on her to give me her honest opinion and to spend the necessary time to explain everything with great detail. When it came to the closing process, she was there to make it as stress-free as possible. 

My husband and I would highly recommend Kari Juhl to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. You can trust that Keri will put in the necessary hard work to get you the home matching your needs and wants. 

Thank you for everything Kari.

Kari helped us buy a second home two hours away from where we live. She was able to make this transaction for us run very smoothly with minimal trips. We appreciated her knowledge of the area as we didn't have as much exposure to the area ourselves. She knew exactly what we were looking for and the whole process was finished in the most efficient manner. 
- conniesloss
Kari is very knowledgeable about Johnson County. She has grown up in this area, bought and sold homes personally in this area and raises a family in this area. From older homes to new developments she knows her stuff! She answers quickly to email, text and phone calls and always kept me in the loop. She sold my first home in one day! I wouldn't go any other way! 

- ChrissyLux
Great Agent who truly showed she had our best interest in mind. She advised on possible hurdles or risks with certain properties we looked at. Took care of all the coordination with the Seller, Bank & Insurance. After we purchased our dream home, she continued to support with a couple concerns or issues we had which were cover under the warranty. Definitely will recommend Kari to others. 
- arniemaldonado
Kari has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She helped me find the perfect house and also helped in getting it rented out. She has been around the Iowa City area her whole life and knows the ins and outs of the city. If you need a great realtor, give her a holler. 
- ajadams214
Kari encompassed everything I was looking for in an agent. Throughout both the selling and buying stages, Kari was attentive, knowledgeable, and honest. Though the process can be trying at times, Kari made sure my interests were a top priority and made the process as seamless as possible. I would strongly and sincerely recommend her services! 
- zuser20141020124835899
As first time homebuyers, it is hard to overstate how impressed we were with Kari. She handled the purchase of our first home just as we had hoped. Great communication, Market Expertise, and Honesty. We had no reservations when asking Kari to help us through this process, and we will make sure she is the first one we go to for our next home purchase! 
- Amber Duwe
As first time home buyers, we were clueless on the process. Kari talked us through every step of the process, showed us houses only in the price range we were willing to spend and was very knowledgeable on the neighborhoods she showed us houses in. We will definitely call her again when it's time to move! 
- Maegan Goodlaxson
