Kara Zech Thelen has built her career on clear communication. From practicing real estate, to practicing law, to teaching law school, she keenly focuses on logical thinking, strategic problem solving, and clear writing. Her no-nonsense approach makes her an effective advocate for her clients.
Kara knows firsthand the importance of properly matching people to homes, having moved with her husband and 5 children into a 170-year-old historic home in downtown Bath. She and her family have fallen in love with Maine’s natural beauty and eclectic people.
Before real estate, Kara practiced law at a large international firm based in Detroit, Michigan. She then became a law-school professor, where she taught students how to conduct legal research and write legal documents in plain language, not legalese. She continues teaching the U.S. court and legal system, legal writing, and negotiation at The University of Maine School of Law and The University of Southern Maine in her spare time.
Also in her spare time, Kara enjoys art, hiking, and running after her kids. They’ve trained her well: she has completed eight marathons, including four Boston marathons. She and her knees hope that sailing becomes her next hobby.
