About Karen Bagenal - Real Estate Agent

Karen Bagenal was born and raised in a small town called Redbank and has a vast knowledge of the Ipswich area.

Karen’s Mother’s family was raised in Booval and her Dad’s Family was raised in Redbank. Karen’s Grandparents owned various parcels of land all over Ipswich as well as rental properties.

Karen’s interest in real estate developed early as she spent a lot of her time with both Grandparents visiting and playing along with her brothers on the land.

In 1989 Karen married her husband Mark and they bought their first block of land in Bundamba where they built their first home and twelve months later sold it for double the price.

Then they purchased another block of land in Winston Glades at Yamanto and built their family home. 

Together over the next 10 years they concentrated on building a successful plastering business and they employed and managed a number of apprentices and subcontractors.

Once their family was completed within the next three years (they have three beautiful girls) Karen and Mark started investing in the property market. Buying rentals properties was high on the list and their portfolio was started.

After selling their home over the next couple of years and building another to suite their growing family they continued to buy land locally and build spec homes and on sell them, some were kept as rentals and others were sold off the plan.
