Karen Occhialini
“It’s all about you.” That’s Karen’s motto when it comes to guiding buyers and sellers through the local real estate market. Clients can expect an experience personally tailored at every step, shaped by local insight, aesthetic vision, and responsive communication. 
 
  • Licensed in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, with deep East Bay roots and relocation expertise
  • Design-forward mindset, offering renovation concepts and customization ideas
  • Trusted advisor at every life stage, from first-time buyers to downsizers and fresh starts
     
Karen’s greatest satisfaction comes from creating a smooth, enjoyable experience – and being a continued resource well beyond closing day. A native Rhode Islander who returned home in 2014 after years in Boston, she brings a clear understanding of the East Bay market. She is equally drawn to thoughtful renovations and innovative modern construction, with a talent for helping clients see what a space could be and connecting them with trusted vendors and resources along the way.
 
Relationships and community are central to Karen’s work and life. Partnering with RPL’s award-winning, in-house Relocation team, she supports clients before, during, and after a move, creating customized plans designed to make each transition seamless and stress-free. A former elementary school teacher, she remains active in Barrington-area schools and local life. Outside of real estate, she enjoys exploring the Ocean State with her husband of 20 years, often beaching, boating, and discovering great food, dogs in tow.

What My Clients Are Saying
“We loved working with Karen to find and buy our new home. From the moment we met, she listened closely to our needs, and had a lot of patience as we kept learning what we did and didn’t like in the market. She learned our taste, and consistently made helpful suggestions about good and bad features of homes we saw. She gave us all the time we needed to find exactly what we wanted. When we found our ideal house, she made sure we had a great bidding strategy, and we won the offer. After that she kept everything on track and trouble-free. She was always ready to jump into whatever we needed. She was a true advocate and partner, and we appreciate her skills, her knowledge, her organization, her follow-through, and her infectious excitement. We’re so glad she was our agent!”
