Karen Irace is a powerhouse Realtor and proud Chicago native with over 25 years of experience and more than 1,000 homes sold. A skilled negotiator and trusted advisor, she brings deep expertise across all facets of residential real estate. Karen guides buyers and sellers through every step with the confidence and care of someone who has truly mastered her craft. After purchasing a home in the Sea Towers community in St. Pete, Karen expanded her business into Florida, seamlessly blending Midwest work ethic with Gulf Coast charm. As a Managing Broker and Director of Professional Development for multiple RE/MAX offices, she has trained hundreds of agents and helped shape industry standards. She holds the elite CRS designation and the prestigious CLHMS certification, placing her among the top professionals in luxury and high-performance real estate. Karen’s leadership runs deep. She served as President of the 20,000-member Mainstreet Organization of Realtors in 2018, was named their 2020 Realtor of the Year, and has held board positions with Illinois Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. She's a RE/MAX Hall of Fame inductee and Platinum Club Team leader — and a sought-after speaker at national and international conferences, including the NAR Convention and IPAV in Dublin. When she's not making real estate magic, Karen splits her time between Chicago and St. Pete with her husband of 37 years, Ron. They enjoy time with their growing family — daughter Christy, son-in-law Brooks, and grandsons Beau and Gunnar. Outside of work, Karen can be found golfing, cycling, cooking, or championing causes close to her heart, including the Great Cycle Challenge, Special Olympics, and Toys for Tots.
