       Karin Smith was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana and later relocated to Pensacola, Florida where she met and married her husband, Philip.  Philip is a pilot in the USMC and was stationed at NAS Pensacola as a flight instructor.  During their tour in Pensacola, Karin and Philip visited New Orleans as often as possible.  Philip, originally from Pennsylvania, immediately fell in love with the New Orleans area and they both knew this was the place they would eventually call home. 

      But first, the USMC relocated them to Oceanside, California.  Karin spent most of her time in California with her volunteer work assisting other spouses of deployed Marines. Two and a half years and two deployments later, Philip was able to request new orders to New Orleans, Louisiana and fulfill their wish to ‘come home.’

         The moment the orders were approved, Karin and Philip starting dreaming of owning a waterfront house near the city and began to take house-hunting trips to Louisiana as often as possible.  It wasn’t long before they met the agent that would help them fulfill this dream.  She was professional, proficient and always punctual!  The process, instead of being the hassle that Karin had come to expect, was a breeze thanks to an exceptional agent.  Voila, the process was complete and Karin and Philip held the key to their new property.  It didn’t take long before Karin knew exactly what she wanted to pursue once the move ‘back home’ was complete –  a career in real estate.  She wanted to help others fulfill their dreams with the least amount of stress!

Karin quickly became one of the top producing agents at ABEK Real Estate in Slidell, Louisiana and in 2011 opened the doors to her very own Real Estate Brokerage: Smith Realty Group.  Her stellar reputation with clients, colleagues and local area businesses associated with Real Estate transactions speaks for itself.  Armed with five star client testimonials and an innovated approach to marketing real estate she continues to thrive as one of the area's top producing agents.

  “As a military spouse, I am well aware of all of the headaches associated with moving.  Selling or buying a home can be one of the largest challenges any of us have to face.  Having personally faced these challenges many times, I am committed to providing you with the excellent service you deserve while helping you fulfill your dreams."
