Overview

Karen L. Huelsman is a Realtor with Irongate Inc., working from the brokerage’s Beavercreek office on Kemp Road. Her Irongate profile lists her as an Auctioneer CAI, a designation that points to a practice built partly around auction work alongside traditional listings.

Irongate describes itself as having done business in the Dayton area since 1975. Over the past 12 months, Huelsman closed 19 sales totaling $4,474,300, and 18 of those were listings she represented the seller on. Her work covers a spread of communities in Greene, Montgomery, Warren and neighboring areas, with the largest share in Fairborn.

Her sales record in numbers

Of her 19 closed sales in the past 12 months, 18 were listing sides and 1 was a buyer side. That mix shows a practice centered on representing sellers. Total sales volume came to $4,474,300.

Prices ranged from a low of $71,500 to a high of $430,000, with a median sale price of $220,000. The spread covers entry-level homes through properties in the upper $400,000 range, though most of her business sits in the low-to-mid price tiers.

On her 18 listings, the median time on market was 19 days. The median sale-to-list ratio was 100.0%, meaning the typical listing sold for its asking price. Eleven of the 18 listings, or 11 of 18, sold at or above asking.

The property mix is mostly resale housing. None of her sales were new construction and none were multifamily. About 37% of her sales were renovated homes, a sizable share for a book of 19 transactions. The rest were existing homes sold in their current condition or with ordinary updates.

Where she works

Huelsman’s sales spread across eight areas. Fairborn leads with 6 sales, followed by Xenia with 3. Kettering, Riverside and Beavercreek each had 2, and Trotwood, Franklin and Washington Township each had 1. She had no sales in the city of Dayton proper, and one in West Dayton. Her Irongate profile lists service-area ZIP codes 45324, 45385, 45431 and 45434, along with Beavercreek.

Fairborn. Her six sales there had a median price of $188,450, compared with an area median of $220,000. That puts her Fairborn work somewhat below the overall market midpoint, in the more accessible part of the price range.

Xenia. Three sales closed at a median of $292,500, above the area median of $250,000. Here her business leaned toward the upper half of the local market.

Kettering. Two sales had a median price of $265,000, nearly even with the area median of $260,000.

Riverside. Her two sales had a median of $163,700, against an area median of $195,000.

Beavercreek. Two sales closed at a median of $257,500, while the area median is $330,000. Beavercreek is also home to her office, and her work there tends toward the more moderately priced homes in a higher-priced market.

Trotwood, Franklin and Washington Township. In Trotwood, her one sale closed at $147,400 against an area median of $165,000. In Franklin, her sale at $134,200 compares with an area median of $260,000. In Washington Township, her sale at $430,000 was above the area median of $412,000, and it was the top sale in her recent record.

Background and credentials

Huelsman holds the Certified Auctioneers Institute designation, listed as CAI, and is affiliated with the National Association of Realtors. CAI is the only professional designation documented for her. Irongate’s agent directory lists her as Auctioneer CAI, and her Zillow profile names buyer’s agent, listing agent, auctioneer and moving among her specialties.

Her auction work extends beyond the brokerage. She is listed as president of the real estate side of Innovative Auctions, Inc., a firm serving the Beavercreek and Fairborn area. A third-party description of her focus mentions auction, estate and downsizing transactions, which fits with a practice weighted toward listings.

Commercial listings on LoopNet describe her as working in investment sales and tenant representation across office, retail and specialty property types in the Cincinnati and Dayton market. Those same listings credit her with a 2022 Realtor of the Year honor from Dayton Realtors and a 2022 term as president of the Ohio Auctioneers Association.

Third-party profiles list her real estate license as 2007000969 and cite about 16 years of experience, and a Zillow member-since date of July 2012. Ohio’s licensing lookup has moved to a new portal, so current license status can be checked with the Ohio Division of Real Estate and Professional Licensing.

Irongate, her brokerage, is described as Dayton’s largest independent firm, founded in 1975, with more than 300 agents and seven offices.

How the numbers read

Taken together, the figures describe a seller-side practice with quick, full-price results. A median of 19 days on market and a 100.0% median sale-to-list ratio on 18 listings show homes moving at or near their asking prices, with more than half selling at or above list.

Her price range is wide, from $71,500 to $430,000, and her median in most communities sits close to or below the local median. In Xenia and Washington Township she worked above the area midpoint, while in Beavercreek and Franklin she worked well below it. That range of price points, combined with a renovated share of 37%, suggests comfort with homes that need updating as well as ones that are ready to go.

Her recent sales are concentrated in Fairborn and Xenia, with smaller numbers across Kettering, Riverside, Beavercreek, Trotwood, Franklin and Washington Township.
