Karen Abram is a product innovator at heart, and has helped Inside Real Estate continue as the innovation leader in the industry. Karen started her career at age 13 as a “data storyteller” working at the Los Angeles Daily News as a sports stringer. Her passion for bringing a narrative to analytics carried over to a successful 15+ year career in the advertising industry, developing analytical models for several of the world’s leading advertising agencies. This background helped immensely when she became a real estate agent. Frustrated with the market and comparable analysis tools available, she turned her frustration into action and created dashCMA, a modern, interactive take on the traditional 60+ page CMA presentation. dashCMA was acquired by Inside Real Estate in 2020 and expanded into the Inman 5-star reviewed and “Most Innovative Technology” nominated CORE Present product.
