About Us

Karen McNamara has been serving buyers and sellers on California's Central Coast since 2010, first as a Realtor Associate, then as a licensed California Real Estate Broker. She founded Classic Coast Realty, Inc. on a simple but uncompromising conviction: that buying or selling a home is one of the most significant moments in a person's life, and it deserves to be treated that way.

​

Classic Coast was rebuilt in 2023 as a tribute to Karen's late husband and broker partner, Mike McNamara, who shared her passion for serving this community with integrity and care. His values are woven into everything the company does.

​

Karen is known for listening, genuinely and without rushing. She doesn't stop looking until she finds what her clients are looking for. When problems arise, she finds the right answers. That's what Classic Coast Realty is built on. The kind of trust that only comes from genuinely putting clients first, every time. Karen's clients stay in touch and send others her way. 

 

Classic Coast is a boutique brokerage serving buyers and sellers throughout San Luis Obispo County and the broader Central Coast. The team brings deep local knowledge, a curated approach to every listing and search, and the kind of personal attention that simply isn't available at a larger firm. Whether you're purchasing a coastal property, selling a family home, or making a meaningful investment in one of the most beautiful and sought-after regions in California, Classic Coast helps make the experience feel exactly as it should: expert, unhurried, and entirely focused on you.

​

Karen has spent years woven into the fabric of the Central Coast. San Luis Obispo County is not just her market; it's her home. She knows these communities the way only someone who has truly lived among them can, and she brings that knowledge to every client relationship.
