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) worked exclusively with buyers and sellers here inside the gates of 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 follow in her footsteps. 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.
In our real estate business, we get to glean from her 10+ years of insider knowledge and expertise here in the neighborhood while offering our own professional skills and next generation perspective. That history is invaluable.
And, because we live here and specialize exclusively inside the gates of Ocean Hills Country Club, we offer something most other agents simply can’t – an inside perspective.
We know the floor plans, the clubhouse, the trails and the community culture. We know where to find the answers to all of your questions. We track homes that are coming to market soon. We are your boots on the ground during your search for the perfect home or throughout the selling process.
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.
