Karen Malanga
Licensed Principal Broker in the State of Oregon
I believe that being a realtor® is so much more than helping people to sell and buy homes – it’s about building relationships. We treat every client as if they deserve all of our attention – which they do! And because of that, we end up working often with repeat clients and their friends and families. And that’s exactly what makes me love what I do.
And about living in Bend? It’s my nest and the home that I love. In my down time, you’ll find me exploring the Central Oregon outdoors with my family, restoring a cabin at Paulina Lake, skiing at Mt. Bachelor and supporting local charities.
About Karen:
Growing up with real estate in her blood, Karen is a true professional full time Realtor focused on Central Oregon and her clients. Realizing that her appreciation of Central Oregon combined with her desire to be of service could lead to a satisfying profession, she set out to create her real estate career in 2004. “I’m privileged to work with my children who have exceptional insight, knowledge, and expertise in real estate and building relationships. We are a close family jointly focused on our goals, the three of us are quite a force in local real estate.”
Karen graduated from UC Santa Barbara and entered pharmaceutical sales learning sales and service from the ground up. Moving to Bend from Southern California in 1995 was an inspiration and an acknowledgement of how wonderful it is to experience life with so much nature surrounding us.
