Karen was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. She graduated from the University of Colorado and moved to Fort Collins in 1993. She is married to Joe Rowan, who is the Executive Director for Funding Partners. Karen and Joe have two fabulous children, Keegan; a student at CSU, and Lauren who will be attending IU in the fall.Karen was absolutely amazing! She is easy to work with. She handled all the details quickly and efficiently. I can't imagine selling a property without her expert guidance. In what I would imagine to be a stressful experience, she made it stress free. Not one extra grey hair on my head.
Karen did a great job i was in the real estate business for 45 years and delt with many agents Karen ranks with the very best
As always, Karen did a fantastic job. Great communications and timely responses.
Karen was a joy to work with in every way. We appreciated her above and beyond efforts in finding a property not yet on the market which we bought. Throughout the process she was helpful and available, linking us to resources and taking care of some on the ground tasks since we were out of town buyers. Total A+ service from a true professional!
Karen is the best, highly recommend!!
What a wonderful experience we had finding and purchasing our home. Karen was the most kind, patient and thorough agent we have ever worked with. We can attest to her tenacity in helping find the perfect home for what you’re looking for. Her knowledge of the market and the area provided us with many options and opportunities in findingour home. Karens persistence and encouragement helped to keep things on track with our purchase. She was a fierce advocate for us when we ran into any snags. We were blessed to have Karen in our corner to help ensure we had a wonderful home buying experience.
Karen was knowledgable, pleasant, caring and great about keeping me informed. I certainly would recommend her.
As a military family, we have relocated 15 times and worked with many realtors to acquire housing. Our current relocation fell into some quirky timing. Karen was asked at the last minute to step up and deliver great results for us. She and her team at The Group are the most professional yet personally detailed team with whom we have EVER had the pleasure to work. Thank you for making this experience such a success. We simply felt like we were carried through the process in the most positive of ways. We could not have been in better hands.
Karen is the BEST. I feel like she was not only our realtor, but our friend. She started our relationship with helping us understand Fort Collins -- the place and the layout. She helped us understand place before we even stepped foot in a house. She was constantly in touch, and made us feel like we were never bothering her. She showed us a variety of homes - and was patient with all our questions as fairly new homeowners. She helped us not just find a house, but a home. A place we will love and have future memories. We are so thankful and will ALWAYS recommend her. Thank you Karen!
Karen was very helpful and thoughtful in selling of my home. She is a friend for life.
Karen was very helpful with every step of the way: listing, staging, showing, selling and closing. We needed some extra help with a few things, and Karen jumped in to help at every situation. She was right on at each phase of our journey and made it every easy for us, as we were experiencing some health issues. I would be pleased to recommend her if and when the situation occurs. She is the BEST. The Group is very lucky to have her as an associate. Ray and Cathie Hubert

Karen is patient, responsive, listens well and is fun to tour houses with! I am very happy to have Karen as my agent.
Karen is the best!
Karen has been caring for our family for over a decade now. First with my husband and I buying our first home in this area, then with two sets of children buying and selling homes, and even my parents who all moved into the area. She is thorough, caring, willing to take the time to do things right, always gets back to you and answers your questions. She makes the whole process so much easier and less stressful. We love her and consider her part of our family.
Karen was exceptional, her knowledge of the area and the market enabled me to quickly find home in a desirable location and price range. She went above and beyond evaluating houses for me while I was away on travel, providing candid feedback and not pushing offers on marginal properties. Her guidance and wisdom allowed me to make a sound decision in a turbulent market - cannot thank her enough!!
Karen Rowan is hands down, the finest Real Estate professional around. Karen is caring, diligent, and very thorough. Karen has helped me with 3 different properties over the years.
We have done business with Karen since 2006, selling our primary residence and several of our rental properties. She has always done the best for us and we would highly recommend her.

Karen was available very step of the way with both a sale and a purchase. She knew all the right steps to take and people to contact to make this a smooth, streamlined process for us.
Karen has been my realtor for the last three house purchases that I have made, as well as the two houses I've sold. She has been incredibly helpful thought each process, and very quick to respond to any questions I may have had.
Karen has always been excellent to work with and is very professional. We appreciate her knowledge of the Fort Collins real estate market and commitment to her clients.

It was good to work with Karen.
She was professional and and met all our need, wonderful.
We came back to Colorado about seven years ago and purchased our first house with Karen's help. We enjoyed getting to know her. She was such a joy to work with. When we decided to buy a new home, there was no decision to make about who we wanted to help us with our purchase. Karen was our immediate choice. We can't speak highly enough about Karen. We would and have recommended Karen to anyone looking for a dedicated real estate agent. Whether you are buying or selling, Karen is your person.
She is amazing. Goes above and beyond for her clients.
Karen is very professional and experience in her job as a real estate agent. She kept us informed in every step during the process, if an issue would come up we would know about it. We used her to buy our house in Windsor and now sold it and would do it again with her as our agent.
She was effective working with the both the seller and buyer. Thank you for asking Eugene Wilson
Karen has been my realtor of choice for every move I have made within Fort Collins during the past 25 years. She knows the area, takes extra time to explain the process and is literally there for me every step of the way. World's Best Realtor!!
She is the best!!!
Karen provides excellent real estate services to her clients! Karen works diligently to find the right property and find solutions for clients. She truly cares about her clients and doesn't want anything except for completely satisfied clients. Karen is knowledgeable, helpful and a heck of a lot of fun to work with! I highly recommend Karen Rowan!
Karen was great to work with. Very professional, as well as personable. Also stayed on top of things and got things done in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend her.
Karen was amazing. She took her time with me on everything. She answered promptly (even on weekends and when I didn't even realize she was out of town or that I had texted her a little bit too late) She was very careing and I truly felt like my experience was as personal as any person could have made it. There was a third party involved that made things very difficult but she fought for me the whole way through and truly made things go flawlessly. Even though i'm sure it was not easy. Just amazing and I come from a real estate back ground. I would recommend her anytime. Annie R. Bachman
Karen Rowan was just *spectacular* to work with. Karen and The Group noted and observed my requirements and facilitated my trouble-free purchase of a home in Fort Collins this month.

We have worked with Karen twice and have already recommended her to several other people. She is thoughtful and professional to work with.
We have worked with Karen Rowan twice since moving to Fort Collins. Both times she has worked hard to help us find the right house, get the information we needed, and navigate the complexities of a fast-moving housing market. She stayed friendly and considerate throughout. I work at CSU and have recommended her to all of my new colleagues who are looking for a place in Fort Collins.

Karen was delightful to work with. Her easy and patient manner made our interactions with her very comfortable and helpful.
