Some people say, “Don’t mix business with family.” But for us, blending the two has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.
For over a decade, Karen’s mom (Ralene Friend) has been a trusted real estate expert here in Ocean Hills Country Club. Her reputation is built on deep knowledge of the neighborhood, incredible care for her clients, and the relationships that extend long after a sale closes. Over the years, TK and I admired the business she built—how clients became friends, how she truly understood every corner of this community, and how seamless it was to work exclusively inside the gates.
We always imagined that one day, after TK’s corporate career wound down and we hit the 55+ milestone ourselves, we might join her. That “someday” arrived and now we live right here in Ocean Hills Country Club and have started our own family real estate team—with Ralene’s guidance, experience, and mentorship alongside us every step of the way.
Working together has been an absolute gift. We get to combine her 10+ years of insider knowledge and experience with our own energy, drive, and fresh perspective. And, because we specialize exclusively inside the gates of Ocean Hills, Country Club we offer something most other agents simply can’t.
We live here. Ralene has lived in the neighborhood since 1998. That history is invaluable. We know the floor plans, the clubhouse, the trails, the community culture. And, our team dynamic means you get three trusted professionals working for you, each bringing something unique to the table.
We’re not only you real estate team, we are your neighbors. We’re responsive, accessible, and deeply rooted in this neighborhood. And we care—truly care—about the people we work with.
Whether you’re looking to buy your home here in OHCC or sell a home you’ve loved for years, we’re here to make the experience as easy, stress-free, and enjoyable as possible.
Helping others move into Ocean Hills Country Club feels like inviting them into something special—because that’s exactly what it is. We know you’ll agree.
