Karen Rice is a real estate agent and internet specialist who lives and works in the Wayne and Pike County area of northeastern Pennsylvania.  She runs a unique blog, PikeWaynePABlog.com, that focuses on the real estate marketplace in the region and provides real estate market statistics, local news, community information, and more.

Karen also uses her blog to introduce herself and her profession, and honestly, her bio is just fun to read.  It includes details like, “Shortly after the dinosaurs died out, I worked at one of the only 1-hour photo labs in Wayne County, as a film tech,” and other gems.  Karen has been a local resident and real estate professional for years and comes from a past career in web design and photography.  These skills are readily apparent throughout her blog.

But despite her unique characteristics, Karen’s mission is simple.  “I enjoy getting to know people, building relationships, and having fun while doing it,” she writes.  “I will strive to provide excellent service for you.”

Karen also has a strong community focus.  You can tell she’s proud of the area where she lives and works, and her website features an entire page dedicated to “Local Info.”  She includes resources such as local township office contact information, tax records, Chamber of Commerce links, and more.  Karen keeps up with local events in her blog as well.  One of her recent posts outlined the issues surrounding a new sprinkler system law.  Another post displayed a group of beautiful photos of the area.  Still other posts provide home seller tips and other real estate counsel.

We give Karen’s site five stars for ingenuity and creativity, and recommend that our visitors from northeastern Pennsylvania check out her blog for real estate advice and information on the local area.
