Karen Smith, Salesperson, ABR, RSPS

Karen is a second generation Realtor whose father brought her family to

Cape May in 1972 to live “at the shore” amongst the beautiful landscape,

homes and beaches. At the time, many of the homes in Cape May had seen

better days and Karen fell in love as she watched Cape May come to life as

she was growing up during a revitalization of the beautiful Victorian town.

Following graduation from Lower Cape May Regional High School, Karen

graduated from Salisbury University with a Bachelors of Science degree in

Elementary Education, and earned a Master's in the Art of Teaching Degree

from Marygrove College.

After graduation from college Karen returned to her hometown of Cape May

and began her teaching career in the Lower Township Elementary School

District as a fourth grade teacher. Fourteen years into her career she became

a certified Project Lead the Way instructor and was instrumental in the

inception of the STEM program for third and fourth grade students at the

Maud Abrams Elementary School. Karen retired after a wonderful career of

33 years.

Karen and her husband Jeff of Church’s Seashore Landscaping, who is also a

Cape May native, are known as consistently hard workers with stellar

reputations within various service industry roles in the area. Karen knows

the value of honesty, integrity, hard-work, and the importance of relationship

building for success in all aspects of life. Karen is a natural born leader and

someone who works tirelessly to make the best deal for her clients come to

fruition.

While teaching and raising their two boys, JR and Justin, you may have run

into Karen while cheering for her sons on the soccer field, tennis court or

playing tennis herself at the Cape May Tennis Club. Karen can also be found

serving drinks throughout the summer at Harpoons on the Bay or in the past

at the Lobster House or The Washington Inn.

After having successfully completed a meaningful teaching career where she

has made an impact on thousands of students, and worked with many

wonderful friends and colleagues, Karen has put forth all of her people skills

and knowledge into her Real Estate career with the Homestead Real Estate

team. Give Karen a call so that she can begin making your Cape May

dreams into a reality and memories to last a lifetime.
