Kari Eden Schaiman

Kari Schaiman brings a unique blend of market expertise, empathy, and creative problem-solving to her work as a real estate agent. With a background in speech-language pathology, she developed invaluable skills in listening, patience, and building trust—qualities that now define her approach to helping clients navigate the real estate process. Kari’s ability to truly understand the needs of buyers, sellers, and families allows her to anticipate challenges, provide tailored solutions, and ensure a seamless experience for her clients.

Having lived and worked in the Bay Area for over 20 years, Kari has an intimate understanding of the region’s neighborhoods, schools, and lifestyle offerings. As a homeowner, seller, and investor, she knows firsthand how emotional and complex real estate decisions can be. This personal experience fuels her dedication to guiding her clients with empathy, clarity, and a solutions-oriented mindset. Whether it’s analyzing market trends, crafting a pricing strategy, or overseeing home preparation to maximize value, Kari approaches each step with precision and care.

When Kari teamed up with Johnny at Heckenberg Realty Group, their shared vision was to redefine what a real estate team could offer. Together, they bring a dynamic, two-agent approach to every transaction, offering complementary strengths and perspectives. Their hyper-local focus and deep commitment to relationship-building set them apart. Kari and Johnny understand that buying or selling a home isn’t just a financial decision—it’s a personal journey. Their mission is to ensure every client feels supported, valued, and empowered to make informed decisions.

As a team, they specialize in tailoring strategies to fit each client’s unique needs, leveraging cutting-edge marketing, meticulous data analysis, and a network of trusted professionals. From preparing homes for market to navigating multiple-offer situations or helping families find the perfect fit, Kari and Johnny work tirelessly to exceed expectations and deliver concierge-level service.

Outside of real estate, Kari loves spending time with her family, including her tech-entrepreneur husband, their two kids (ages 10 and 12), and their three beloved dogs. Whether she’s immersed in the community she’s proud to call home or tackling the challenges of a real estate transaction, Kari’s passion, integrity, and client-first focus are at the heart of everything she does.

At Heckenberg Realty Group, real estate isn’t just a business—it’s a partnership rooted in trust, integrity, and a shared love for the Bay Area.
