As part of her college major in economics and international studies, Karina Mejia decided to take a class in residential real estate development that set her on a path to her dream career. Obtaining her license while still a student, she began in the industry as a real estate valuation analyst. While working at a commercial real estate consulting firm and gaining vast knowledge in the statistical side of the industry, Mejia realized her passion for real estate couldn’t flourish behind a computer — she knew she needed to be in the field.

Five years later, Mejia is a competitive real estate professional on an upward trajectory. “I’m passionate about my job, and it shows,” she says. “I truly care about my clients.” Mejia has an impressive track record of working with developers, helping them bring their projects to fruition and guiding them through every step of the process. Her diversified breadth of knowledge in marketing, sales and networking allows her to effectively promote her listings and connect with her clientele. With a focus in new development, this Boston native serves the Eastern and Greater Boston markets with trustworthiness, expertise and professionalism.

The recipient of EVO Real Estate Group’s Top Producer award for 2021 and 2022, Mejia lays claim to over $50 million in sales. Under her leadership, The Legacy Group, a team of three highly skilled and dedicated real estate agents, provides exceptional service and personalized attention. Mejia, an investor herself, was also featured on the BiggerPockets Real Estate Rookie podcast (episode 133) and at Business Insider.

Always learning and striving to grow in her craft, Mejia loves helping people accomplish their goals and finds her work extremely rewarding. The child of first-generation immigrants, she’s happy to be living the American dream they envisioned for her while helping people find their piece of that same dream.
