Karen Occhialini
A native Rhode Islander, moving back in 2014 after living in Boston, Karen has always loved the East Bay. Licensed in MA and RI, she offers clients her interwoven talents, including relocation and staging services, to help ensure a smooth process for first-time buyers, downsizers, and anyone looking for an energizing change.
 
Not only does she love people and homes, Karen has the vision and drive to enhance a room or envision what a space "could be." She welcomes a good renovation project, but also appreciates innovative modern construction, offering you her taste and options for customization to make a property feel like home. Her greatest feeling of success comes from providing a pleasurable experience, connecting you with vendors and community resources to carry off a project or move with confidence.
 
Karen prizes her relationships above all else, which is why she strives to create trust with her clients who rely on her advice at each stage of life. Community is important to her as well. With a previous career as an elementary school teacher, she has been active as a volunteer in Barrington-area schools. Parents will know her as a familiar face on the sidelines of her son's soccer games, often with her dog in tow. To recharge her batteries and bring her best self to her clients, Karen spends time with her husband of nearly 20 years enjoying the Ocean State, beaching, boating, and diving into the state's amazing food scene.
