Having been raised on a farm near Hinds, she is rurally inclined, but she's also lived the city life of Christchurch and has been settled back in Ashburton for the last 30 years. This allows her to relate to home buyers and sellers from all backgrounds.
Karen is a proud mother of two sons - Cameron, who has followed in her footsteps, and is a Real Estate Agent, and Ryan Guppy, a Builder - both based in the Selwyn area. She also has two lovely daughters-in-law and is now delighted to be a grandmother to twin girls, Addie and Evie, born to Cam and Laura.
Karen enjoys the flexibility her real estate career offers, allowing her to give back to the community through her volunteer work with the Cancer Society. She regularly drives patients to Christchurch for treatment ad helps with various fundraising efforts. A particular highlight has been her co-ordination of the well-known Cancer Society fundraiser - Relay for Life.
In her spare time, Karen enjoys walking, spending time with friends and family and playing a round of golf. A much-loved addition to the McRae/Niles family is Indie, a dear wee Schnoodle who is thoroughly spoilt and adored.
