Karen has been in the business of real estate since 2010 and a part of the Joe Trifilo Team since 2016. Karen joined Hunt Real Estate as an independent agent in 2014, coming from a boutique broker in the Buffalo area. Karen had opted to leave a boutique broker for Hunt Real Estate in search for more training, services and technology. She found this training and guidance at Hunt Real Estate and she happily begin to build a steady business.
Until it slowed. Having helped several clients, Karen KNEW real estate was the right career for her. She had a passion and loved it. However, Karen’s phone stopped ringing, it seemed everyone she knew had already boughten or sold, and she was no longer able to generate enough business to support her career. She continued learning, and networking, she posted on facebook, and called friends and family, and still Karen found herself frustrated–wanting to help but not knowing how or where to look.
One day she walked by Joseph Trifilo’s office. She waved and smiled as she walked by. He was always busy and always working, and had a small team of his own agents to help and support. Karen had often wondered what it would be like to be on a team. As an independent agent, she was not sure the team idea was for her. But something made her stop. She turned, walked back into Joe’s office, and asked him if he had a minute.
That minute turned into years, and each year, Karen has seen her business continue to grow, each year blowing past her production goals. When Karen had joined Joe, she was asked to set a 5-year sales goal. And in 2019, Karen Mergler achieved her 5-year goal, 2 years early. She has watched the small team grow, with each agent having their own successes. She has loved the ability to take vacations and to have the comaraderie, support, and guidance of Joe and her other team mates.
If you ask Karen, she will tell you, one of the bravest choices she made that day was to turn around and walk into that busting office. She will also tell you, how she is now able to have the career she dreamed of, and how she is taking her family of 8, on spring break this year.
