School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

About the Listing Agent

Karen Carpenter

Coldwell Banker Elite

As a Fredericksburg-area native and graduate of King George High School, I’m honored to live, work, and raise my family in the same community that shaped me. With deep local roots and over 20 years of real estate experience, I bring unmatched knowledge of the area and a personal passion for helping others call it home. Licensed since 1994 and serving both Virginia and Maryland, I specialize in helping buyers make informed decisions and guiding sellers to achieve top dollar. I’m known for my attention to detail, strong communication, strategic marketing, and a commitment to client satisfaction that’s earned me the respect of both clients and colleagues alike. In addition to being an Associate Broker with Coldwell Banker Elite, I’m also a licensed real estate instructor, dedicated to training and mentoring new and experienced agents on industry trends and best practices. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll likely find me on the water with my family or supporting my sons in their motocross adventures. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing—I’d be honored to guide you through your next real estate journey with local insight and trusted experience.
