Joining the team in 2008, Kari has learned the business from top to bottom. Starting as a marketing admin then transitioning to the closing coordinator and then back into marketing as the coordinator and creative director of the group. Kari also maintains her real estate license and actively works with buyers and sellers. Her attention to detail and creative ideas makes her a great member of The Knell Group. Real estate has been a part of Kari's life from a young age with her grandmother retiring from the industry and her mother currently working as an escrow closer.

"For me, The Knell Group is about running a successful business that provides an incredible service. The foundation Mary Ann instilled and the camaraderie of the group is the platform for the future of The Knell Group and I am honored to be a part of the adventure."

Kari married her high school sweetheart and together they have one child. A lifelong Central Illinois resident, she has pride in her area. When not engaged in business pursuits or spending time with family, Kari enjoys coaching her daughter's sports, volunteering at school, attending concerts and watching movies. She currently serves as the PTO secretary and trustee to the school Foundation for Educational Excellence.

One of her many Reviews

" I would highly recommend Kari. She was right with us every step of the way selling my mother's home. She was positive in her comments, professional in all our interactions . Kari responded very quickly to texts and calls, at any time of the day or weekends. When we realized we needed to re-paint, and carpet, Kari had professionals in very quickly to get the jobs done. Her regular communication with us about showings and the market in our area was so helpful. She is very pleasant and so easy to work with. "
