For over a decade, Kari has had a monthly article in AAGLA’s magazine called “ask Kari”. Ask Kari focuses on multiple topics impacting property owners. She is frequently approached by people wanting more of the useful articles and her wide-knowledge of current issues in the industry. Her website SKYpropertiesinc.com publishes a video each month for owners of apartment buildings. Kari is a highly-sought-after speaker at several trade shows throughout the country, touted as a multi-family real estate expert; she is an instructor for continuing education courses including SCEP, she holds a real estate Broker’s license, she is also active in her community and is the current President of the Toluca Lake voluntary homeowners association (TLHOA) in 2020.
