About Norma Karnes

Originally from a small community in Southern California, moved to the Siouxland area at the age of 17 and graduated from South Sioux City Senior High where I met my husband. We immediately became a military family stationed in San Diego, California for six years. This experience instilled in me the values of discipline, integrity, and adaptability

When my husband’s term ended we followed our hearts back to the Midwest where we choose the vibrant Siouxland community to settled down and raise our children. It was here that I discovered my true calling in real estate.

My real estate career began in 2005 when one of my older sisters, who is a broker in California, pushed me to take the leap. I did, and I love it! I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate the complex world of real estate with ease.  Siouxland has taught me to understand the value of personal connections and the importance of finding the perfect place to call home. 

I am one of the few bilingual agents in the area, fluent in English and Spanish. 

I am proud to say that I specialize in first-time home buyers, investment property a HUD property, new construction and Spanish speaking clients. I am the recipient of the Rising Star Award in 2006, and recognized for exceeding my production goals in year after year. I am a consistent multi-million dollar producer and an anual quality service award recipient. I am a member of Northwest Iowa Board of Realtors, with hundreds of transactions under my belt. RE/MAX’s consistent and abundant training programs, along with proven business models, peaked my interest in the search to grow as a real estate agent. After being a part of it for a short time, it’s the culture practiced each day that aligned perfectly with my mantra of God, family and then business that sealed the deal for me.
