Karen has been a realtor
for over 29 years. Many hours of classes, and
seminars, plus her interests and hobbies enhance her
skills in the real estate business.
Born in Riverside, California, Karen lived with her Grandmother up
to her Jr. High School year. She then lived with her
Mother and Stepfather. He was in the Air Force, and
they vacation in Japan, Philippines, China, Hawaii,
while spending 3 years stationed on Guam, in the
Mariannas Island's where she graduated High School.
Her Father was then transferred to Vandenburg AFB
and they moved to Lompoc, California.
Karen then moved back to Riverside to take care of her elderly
Grandmother. She worked for the Pacific Telephone
Company as a long distance operator, and helped her
husband in both building and driving stock cars and
drag racers. Skydiving was another sport that Karen
enjoyed.
Karen moved to San Luis Obispo County, California, and as a single
parent she worked long hours to provide for her
family. A change in careers occurred and she found
her niche in life, real estate. Assisting others in
finding and obtaining their dream homes evolved into
a long-term commitment. She worked toward and earned
her broker's license in California and Oregon, and
has received recognition for top listing and selling
agent many times. She received valuable experience
while working for Prudential, Century 21, and
Coldwell Bankers Real Estate Companies.
In her spare time Karen would pack up her children, dogs, horses,
and the local neighborhood children and head for the
nearby beaches, or mountains for camping trips. She
was a docent at Montana De Oro State Park helping
maintain trails for horseback riders, and hikers.
Other activities included president for the local
woman's trail riding group "The Happy Hoofers", and
she was a member of the California "Cow Bells", a
local cattlewomen's group. Softball was another
sport she enjoyed. She was a pitcher for local co-ed
teams for many years, plus coaching her children's
little league teams.
During this time Karen married her husband, Dan Raminha, who is the
son of a Morro Bay ranching family. Dan had been
visiting Wallowa County for many years. The first
time he brought Karen, she fell in love with not
only the beauty of the area, but also the warm
friendly people. Wallowa County was an ideal
location to call home. "It's the kind of area that
just keeps pulling you back until you just have to
be here full time". In the past 30 years, Dan and
Karen have made life long friends in the Wallowa
Valley.
Karen's real estate education includes Accredited Buyers
Representative (ABR), Graduate Realtors Institute
(GRI), and Council of Residential Specialist (CRS),
and strives to keep up with the ever-changing world
of real estate by attending many different schools,
seminars, and classes. One of the classes she
attended was a strenuous weeklong course, which
included subjects on financing, agency, client
representation, and other real estate related
subjects.
Currently Karen enjoys camping, horse back riding, landscaping and
caring for their home on 9 acres just north of
Joseph. She loves raising a large garden and canning
her vegetables, and she has made over 75 lap quilts
for local nursing home residents.
Karen started Hometown Hero's Support Group in 2005 when her son
was deployed to Iraq. Now that he is home she
continues to mail out approximately 30 boxes a month
to our local soldiers serving overseas.
Karen belongs to the Wallowa County Board of Realtors, the Wallowa
County Quilt Guild, Oregon Cattle Women's
Association, NRA, Eagle Cap Shooters Association ,
Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, NW Turkey Federation,
and attends the Enterprise Community Church.
In this age of new technology, Karen still believes in providing
"Customer Service", and since beginning her real
estate practice in Wallowa County her list of
satisfied buyers and sellers have steadily grown.
Everyday Karen looks forward to doing what she loves
best, working with people and helping them meet
their real estate needs.
If you want kind, courteous, and professional real estate service
from a "super" agent with a great sense of humor -
"Call Karen"

Carrie Purcell, Broker
Cell: (541) 398-1866 Office: (541) 432-9999
(888) 887-7779
Email: cpurcell@eoni.com
I have lived in the Willamette Valley since 1971 and
moved to Wallowa County in April of 2007. I
grew up in small communities learning the values of
being a good neighbor. When you grow up with that
type of mind set it makes sense that I would find careers
that involve helping others.
I have always been an active volunteer with many organizations
especially those that help our youth. I have three
children, so setting the example to give back to the
community is
something I wanted to instill in them.
My background has been mainly in the fire service. I was a
volunteer firefighter /medic for 15 years.
During those years I became an officer and an
instructor which led me to contract teaching for LBCC. I also became an active advisor for the Linn
County Sheriffs Search and Rescue team. If you want
to see people dedicated to volunteering; these two
groups have it down! I have had many jobs over the
years; hairdresser, medical assistant, youth
detention officer; it seems I haven’t lost my love
of learning.
I live in Joseph now with my husband Mike and our youngest son
Mason. We own the R&R Drive-In which my husband
runs. We enjoy hunting, camping, boating, skiing and
the beauty of the great outdoors.
Real estate has been a hobby for the last 10 years, and I decided it was time to take it seriously. Being
a realtor allows me to combine two things I love,
helping people and the excitement of finding a
really great
property. If you want an agent who is
genuine and has your best interest at heart then
give me a call. I would love to be your
personal assistant in
finding your perfect property.

and has been active in assisting at Safe Harbors and
Community Connections and through her church at St.

with Enterprise Summerfest, Winterfest, and Mule

our horses, hiking, and visiting with family and
friends. My own special interests include exploring
the mountains looking for that perfect hunting spot.
I believe strongly in the values of honesty and
integrity, in both life and work. My goals in real
estate are to assist buyers in finding the property
that reflects their lifestyle and desires, and to
assist sellers in finding able bodied buyers who
will appreciate the value and care they have put
into their property. I would love the opportunity to
assist you in your real estate needs and look
forward to serving you. Please feel free to give me
a call.
