About the host
Hosted by Karen Sumner

Hi there,
My husband Ken and I have lived in the Highlands/Germantown area since 1997. I am a nurse and real estate agent and he runs our real estate investment company. I am originally from Louisville and met my California man while studying at the University of Kentucky. Eventually, we both graduated from the University of Louisville.
We love Louisville, know the history and all the cool things to see and do. We love being centrally located and close to everything. Just let us know what your interests are and if you need some tips we'd be happy to help!
