About Karen Solgard

Karen Solgard was a homeowner and borrower before becoming a lender so brings empathy to each client and transaction. Everyone has a unique financial situation. To match the right loan to the borrower takes careful attention to detail. Karen guides each person to the best available interest rate when financing a home purchase or refinance.

Past clients say:

She was on top of everything, all the time. Efficiency doesn't even begin to describe Karen. It goes beyond that. The entire process was smooth, hassle free.
Karen went above and beyond. She explained every step in terms I could understand.
We looked to Karen to provide us with honest and reliable information and were never disappointed.
Karen is exceedingly knowledgeable in all areas surrounding our mortgage process.

A move to Southwest Florida in 2011 was a sharp contrast to Karen's growing up years on a farm in Northwestern Minnesota and owning a home in South Minneapolis for 30 years. She enjoys gardening, sailing, and exploring the back-roads of Florida.
