Meet Karen
A scientist's precision, a Livermore native's local knowledge, and a genuine love of the work.

Karen Sorensen is a REALTOR® with The Malakoff Real Estate Partners at Keller Williams Tri-Valley. Real estate is her third career: before this she worked as a biomedical scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and raised four children.

She has always felt called to real estate, investing in and owning several homes of her own in Livermore. The work gives her a mental challenge that keeps her learning and growing, and she brings that enthusiasm and scientific attention to detail to every transaction, so her clients get the best possible experience.

When she is not working, Karen hikes, camps, and boats with her family. On Sundays she attends Cedar Grove Community Church and tends a garden of more than 50 award-winning roses.
