Meet The Team

“Karla was amazing to work with. We had some very specific needs in our home search, and she helped us find a home that matched our criteria perfectly.”

“Karla is incredibly professional, organized, and determined. Her team helped to make the overall home selling process as painless as possible, and she was masterful during some difficult offer negotiations. We highly recommend her services!”

“Karla was amazing from start to finish! She is a self declared bulldog and doesn’t disappoint. If you are looking for someone who has your best interests at stake and will fight to get you the best offer, then Karla is your woman! She was very easy to talk to and extremely knowledgeable. Would highly recommend and do business with again. To say we are pleased is an understatement!”

“Karla provided exceptional service and has been a great pleasure to work with! It was my first time selling a home, and she turned a stressful situation into a smooth process. She was able to pull through everything that I requested especially when it came to negotiations with the buyers. Quick to respond, thorough, an expert on the market, and very friendly are some of the great things that describe Karla. I can’t thank her enough and look forward to continuing to work with her during my search for a new home.”

“Karla did an outstanding job selling our house. What's amusing is that she initially represented the seller when we purchased the property. We were so impressed during that transaction, when the time came to sell our house, reaching out to her was an easy decision. In Howard County, MD, I can't think of a better agent!”

“Karla was such an amazing resource and asset to our family during the process of selling our mother's home. She was always there for us during a very difficult time to help guide us during the sales process. And after, Karla was there to help find the right contractors after inspection, even giving up so much of her own time to meet with them at the house! She goes above and beyond any realtor I have ever worked with. Look no further, you have the best agent out there in Karla Pinato!”

“Karla, in addition to arranging the house showing, provided advice in helping me acquire my new home and was a great sounding board for questions.She was selected to offer my house to sell as every home sold the year before in my community was handled by her or her Company. The selling of my house was fantastic as it sold for more than $100,000 over the asking price. Anyone planning to sell their home this year would do well to interview Karla and her crew as she and her crew will work hard to get the price you want and hold your hand during the whole process.”

“We found Karla online with her many exceptional reviews, and after talking with her about our goals over the phone, we clicked and immediately knew we wanted to work with her. She helped us find our dream house in 2 weeks! Her communication via email, text, and phone was very quick and definitely helped us find our house so quickly. She was objective when looking at homes with us and pointed out certain aspects of the home to be mindful of when considering our budget. Karla is definitely a pro negotiator when it came to making an offer, all the while keeping in mind our goals and what we were comfortable with. Ultimately this led to our finding our dream home way faster than I could have imagined. We will definitely work with her again if and when we sell our house.”

“Karla represented us as we bought a home in MD while living in Illinois. She made the transaction smooth and professional in every way, while remaining friendly and cheerful at all times.”

“Best realtor ever! We have worked with Karla for both buying and selling a home in MD and throughout each process, she was exceptionally professional, responsive and deeply knowledgeable about the market and the buying/selling process. All of her recommendations throughout the processes were excellent and helped make the home sale and moving process as smooth and low-stress as possible. We highly recommend Karla for both buying and selling a home and are sad that we no longer will have the opportunity to work with her now that we have moved out-of-state!”

“Beth was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and easy to talk to and really went out of her way for us. She was available any time we messaged or called and honestly made the whole process much less stressful than we were expecting. Thank you, Beth!”

“Beth did a great job of going through the home buyer process with me. It was my first experience and I had tons of questions. She was responsive and a huge help in a daunting process. Beth stepped in to deal with my lender when I wasn't getting answers and made sure that we had a successful closing. She went out of her way to show the house any time I was available even later at night which was appreciated due to my schedule. Highly recommend!”

“Beth is an exceptional Realtor! She really took the stress out of hunting for and purchasing a home. Beth was always available to us (my wife, myself, and my daughter) to ensure our needs were being met, providing heads up and assistance on paperwork and processes. We cannot Thank Her enough for professionalism, personalization, and in-depth knowledge of getting through what seems like mountains of paperwork and timelines. Blessings come in all forms and Beth is one of them! We highly recommend Beth as being the First person to contact when in need for a Realtor!”

“We initially contacted Beth about placing our home on the rental market, but later decided to sell. Beth went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition throughout the sell of our home. We couldn’t have asked for a more attentive and compassionate agent. Thank you for everything, Beth.”

“Beth was a pleasure to work with. She was always available when we wanted to go looking at places and was always available when we needed her by phone. She did a great job letting us know how she felt when we had questions regarding a property. I would definitely recommend Beth to anyone looking to purchase or rent.”

“Beth was excellent through out the whole of buying my first home, very knowledgeable, patient and understanding, goes above and beyond, I would recommend Beth to friends and family and would definitely use her again in the future”

“Beth was excellent and knowledgeable. She is very responsive. I will most definitely use her again and recommend her to family and friends. She has been a pleasure to work with throughout this process.”

“Jay helped us find a house and walked us through the process since we are first time home buyers. He was very easy-going, attentive, and made time to answer questions even late at night. He made the process look easy.”

“Jason Hinish helped us sell and buy our new home. He sold our house with it only being on the market for a few weeks and helped us find our dream home. He walked us through the process from start to finish and made sure the timing of both closures worked out. He absolutely did a great job and I would recommend him to everyone!”

“Jay took the time to listen to our wants and found us our dream home! He made recommendations and walked us through the process as first time home buyers. I would definitely recommend!”

“Used Jason twice.. to sell our townhouses and buy our "forever" house. Trustworthy, hard-working and very personable. There's no better real estate agent in this area than him!”

“Jay is one of the hardest working agents around. He helped sell a rehab and did sell it very quickly. He also walked it through from start to finish. I highly recommend Jay Hinish.”

“He has helped us buy two homes and sell one. He is literally the best in the business. Very responsive to calls, texts, and emails. He will give you honest opinions on homes when you need help. He got us a low price when buying and a high price while selling. He was also great with negotiating terms for repairs, etc. He had great resources for inspectors, and other companies you may need in the process. I recommend him for everyone!”

“Jay helped us to sell our home. He guided us through the process and negotiated two offers. This included several offers which we eventually rejected. Because this was an older home we had a rather extensive list of repairs. Jay was able to negotiate with prospective buyers to establish a realistic list of demands. Ultimately we were able to sell the house at near the price that we were looking for.”

“Shanda was absolutely a breath of fresh air! Our family was searching for a safe and spacious place to call home and she was god-send! The stressors of trying to find a place on our own was insanely nerve wrecking to say the least. We had applied at one place on our own and the landlord was then unresponsive. That put a bad taste in our mouths and was now leery of scams. We reached out to Shanda and she made it happen going forward! We narrowed down our search to 2 top places; scheduled 2 viewings which that's all it took! We didn't want to view too many places because mentally we would confuse ourselves in our main goal which is moving to a safe and spacious place yet needing to be near the children's boundary schools! Shanda promptly scheduled a viewing and we agreed that we was interested in the first home. Shanda is extremely knowledgeable and patient as she eased ALL of our stressors during this time. She walked us through the process to apply and advocated for our family to land the perfect place! She is communicative, professional and honest which makes it all worth our while choosing her as Thee #1 Realtor ever! My husband and I will definitely refer others to her!!!!!!! Thanks a million Shanda, You're the best!!!!!”

“Shanda is amazing! She’s very knowledgeable in the market and goes above and beyond to find you the home of your dreams! Really loved working with her and appreciate the dedication to getting a deal done! Negotiation skills 10/10. Highly recommend!”

“Shanda is so kind, professional, and knowledgeable . She made our experience so easy and pleasant. She was available to assist us with anything that we needed. I definitely recommend her to our friends and family.”

“Shanda was incredibly helpful to work with. She showed us many homes over the span of a few weeks. She was very responsive and helped pick out ones that met our needs. She was extremely patient, friendly and kind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking to rent or buy a home.”

“We moved to Columbia, MD from San Francisco, CA to buy our first home. As a first time home buyer, we were nervous about the process and what it would entail. But Shanda (on Karla Pinato's team) at Northrop Reality made our home buying experience exceptional. They sent us a daily email for any new house on the market tailored based on our specific price range and requirements. As luck would have it, we made our first ever offer and it was accepted!!! Once our offer was accepted, Shanda was instrumental in getting us through to the finish line. She was available 24/7 to answer our questions, find solutions to any roadblocks while working closely with the seller's agent. Because of her, we were able to close and get to move into our dream home. Thank you to Shanda, Karla and Northrop Realty.”

“Shanda is the best, we would give more than 5 stars if we could :) She coordinated seamlessly with our limited evening availability for showing times, answered every question I had (there were a lot) with knowledge and compassion. As first time home buyers, it can be scary to jump into something so big! Shanda was incredibly supportive through the process, made sure communication was open 24/7, and made us feel very confident in not only her but ourselves. We are very thankful that she was our realtor <3”

“Shanda was extremely helpful through what can sometimes be a stressful process. She is very responsive and really works to ensure her clients are well informed and aware of what happening throughout every step of the way. She is very knowledgeable in the field and used that knowledge to provide us with the best suggestions. It was amazing having Shanda to work with and guide us through this process and we couldn’t ask for more.”

“Shanda made this an easy process! Very professional and responsive! When other realtors backed out on me she diligently worked to find a home for my family!”

“Shanda is amazing ! She went above and beyond for us ! It was hard finding a rental property for my situation. She sent properties to me whenever she would come across them which was very often. She communicated very well with us and kept us updated on everything. She responds outside of normal business hours to ensure you get the best experience. She is very hands on ! Working with her she will meet all your needs. 1000/10 recommend!!! It was a pleasure working with her . I will be working with her again in the future !”

“Shanda was the biggest blessing in our search for a townhome to rent. She kept us updated with so many options and had us viewing places within a week of our first conversation. She was knowledgeable about the areas, so personable, and patient as we navigated the rental process for the first time. I would highly recommend her to anyone searching to rent or buy in the area. Not only will you find yourself working with a knowledgeable professional, she works so quickly I have no doubt anyone working with her will find their dream home faster than they thought possible. Trust me, go with Shanda. You won’t regret it.”

“My girlfriend, her young son, and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Kimberley to find our perfect home in Crofton, MD. From day one, Kimberley made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. She not only found us an incredible home in less than a month but also made us all feel like family during the process—including our son, who absolutely adores her and is just as excited about our new home!Kimberley’s knowledge of the Crofton area is unmatched, and she made sure we were informed every step of the way. Whether it was answering our countless questions or coordinating seamlessly with our lender, she was always responsive and professional. She went out of her way to include our son in the home tours, asking him questions and making sure he felt part of the process. Thanks to her, he’s thrilled about his new home and keeps saying how much he loves “Ms. Kimberley.”What truly sets Kimberley apart is her dedication to her clients. She was friendly, professional, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire journey. I’ve already recommended her to several friends, including a contractor, and I wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. If you’re looking for a realtor who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about your family and your happiness, reach out to Kimberley! We’re beyond happy with our new home, and we owe it all to her!”

“Kim is simply outstanding to work with! Her knowledge of the market, ability to understand and see what I needed in a new home made all the difference in the world. I highly recommend working with Kim!!!”

“Kimberly is great at accessing what a client is looking for and matching the right properties for them. She is accessible, responsive, and helpful in evaluating properties. Kimberly is a great advocate in communicating with other agents. She is pleasant and easy company.”

“Our experience working with Kimberley could not have been better. My wife and I were acting as buyer agents for a close friend who was out of state caring for a sick relative. Kimberly took us to see several houses that might meet our friend's requirements for location, features, price, and HOA fee. This enabled us to find the best compromise. Kimberly then expertly guided our friend, long distance, through the multi step process of purchasing the property. When she returned for the settlement, things went very smoothly. Working with such a competent, friendly agent was a very nice experience.”

“Kim was exceptional from listing to close. Her market expertise and transparent guidance helped us maximize our home’s selling potential. With her recommendations, our house went under contract in one week with over 30 tours, multiple offers, and sold above asking price with a free 30-day rent back. Her knowledge, negotiation skills, and dedication set her apart. We trusted her completely and were impressed by her outstanding customer service. We highly recommend Kim for all your real estate needs. She is a professional and talented agent. She has great patience which goes a long way when it comes to selling a home. I’ve dealt with many realtors but Kim has been top tier. Please make sure you use her for your next real estate deal. You will not be disappointed. She is the best!!! Always going above and beyond.”

“We have had the pleasure of working with Kimberley on the title side on a number of her transactions. Her professionalism and communication skills are excellent, and we can always expect seamless transactions with her and her clients. We strongly recommend working with her whether you are a buyer or seller.”

“We have been beyond grateful to work with Kim in our home buying process! We relocated to the area from PA and from the moment we talked with Kim on the phone, we felt at ease. She worked tirelessly to put together a weekend full of showings for us. She mapped out an itinerary to make the most of our time together so we could see as many different homes and locations as possible. Her communication throughout the process was thorough and we always felt like she made us a priority. Despite the competitive market, Kim was able to help us write an exceptional offer after just one weekend of showings. She made the whole process as painless and smooth as possible from the moment of first contact through closing on our new home! I am confident that Kim worked many hours behind the scenes in order to support us through this process. We would recommend Kim in a heartbeat to anyone, especially any military families relocating to the area!”

“Kimberley helped us find a great rental property. She was very responsive throughout the process and was very helpful on walk-throughs of several different properties - pointing out things that we wouldn't have noticed on our own. She coordinated everything for us after we applied for our new home, working directly with the listing agent to make it easy on us. She was even there on the day we got the keys to our new place and did an extensive walk through with us, taking notes on everything during our move-in inspection. Kimberley made the whole rental process smooth, and I would highly recommend her!”

“Kimberley is an especially thoughtful and dedicated professional. It is clear that she makes it a priority to bring personal attention and care to every interaction. She is super-responsive and stays positive and calming even throughout the process.”

“Kimberley went to great lengths to find the home we desired. It almost seemed as though we were receiving VIP treatment.She was seemingly tireless in her willingness to look at so many homes, discuss all possibilities, give salient advice, and all with a smile and encouraging words!When it was time to do the paperwork involved involved in selling/purchasing a home, her wisdom and patience were invaluable to me. She kept me organized and on schedule. She made what could have been a very difficult time a joyful experience. I am very grateful that Kimberley represented us in this very important life transition. Thank you, Kimberley! God bless you ????????”
