Hi, I’m Karla Shepherd. Welcome to my website!
FAMILY
I am a lifelong resident of Kosciusko County. I grew up on my family’s farm just north of
Leesburg. In 2017, my husband and I built our home on the same farm, just half a mile up the
road. It’s a privilege to be able to raise our 3 boys on the land that holds such memories for
me. When I'm not working with clients, I’m a Kosciusko County 4-H volunteer and I spend
most of my time at sporting events for my children or in the barn working with my family on
4-H projects.
EDUCATION
I received my B.A. in Elementary Education from Purdue University. I spent about ten years
teaching grades Kindergarten through 6th grade. I loved being a teacher and impacting the
lives of our local youth. Then, after my third son was born, I decided it was time to join the
family business, The Sally Bailey Team!
ROOTS IN REAL ESTATE
Both of my parents and my sister are active in the real estate industry. I love working with
my sister, Angie, and mom, Sally on The Sally Bailey Team. You can't beat working with
and having the support of family. Ours just happens to have 35 years of real estate
expertise on one team! All three of us are natives of Indiana and the Kosciusko County
region.
WHY I’M YOUR GO-TO REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL
I am constantly researching the latest technologies, tools, and services to ensure my clients
benefit from the best marketing products and search technologies to help with the sale or
purchase of a home. I pride myself on negotiating skills that allow my clients’ interests to be
represented in the best possible way. You will get the absolute best price in buying a home,
and if selling, you will keep as much equity and wealth as possible. My relationships through
residential mortgage lending and loan structuring allow my clients the best options to suit
both needs and financial objectives. Mostly, I truly enjoy the opportunity to work with great
people and help them achieve their dreams.
As a full-service real estate professional, I can meet all of your needs, whether you are
buying or selling a property. I am your perfect partner!
Karla was wonderful to work with. I was relocating to another state, and I couldn’t have asked for a better support system or realtor. She guided me through every step of the process with clear communication, great advice, and genuine care. I’m truly grateful for her expertise and dedication.
My husband and I were interested in purchasing a home this Spring. We gave Karla the options we were looking for and her prompt response found us the perfect little lake home. Karla is a top notch realtor who is also very personable and passionate about her clients.
Karla was by far the best realtor we have worked with! Her dedication to sell our home and the knowledge she provided throughout was exceptional!! Kindness goes a long way and she showed nothing short of that while working together through our selling process. Highly recommend!! No need to search further, you've found your realtor. It's Karla!
Karla was very patient with us buying a new house and selling our house. We wanted to find a home prior to putting our house on the market and she worked with us for a few months until we found a home. She quickly listed our house even though she was busy with her son’s graduation. She was there for us and made the entire experience go smoothly.
We are so grateful for the knowledge, expertise and professionalism Karla brought to our transaction. She called upon seeing our home listed FSBO to inquire about bringing a prospective buyer to view and also represent us. Long story short - it was the BEST possible scenario. Home was sold to that buyer and the closing process was quick and seamless. Karla was helpful and super responsive to any an all questions along the way. We made a friend in Karla and would use her again and again for our real estate needs if not for moving out of state. Thank you Karla!
Karla was the best help we could ask for. It had been 30 years since we had sold and built a home. Karla always was there to take care of us and answered all of our questions. Not going to lie, sort of sad it is all done and that we don’t see each other more. Leslie Hart
