About Karina Woodward

FLReal estate license
#SL3595142

I’m Karina Woodward, a Realtor with Bosshardt Realty Services in Gainesville. I help buyers, sellers, families and investors explore their options, including homes near the University of Florida, and I’m happy to work with you in English or Spanish.

I moved from Venezuela to Gainesville as a teenager and later graduated from the University of Florida. Before real estate, my work included administration and management, roles with Paul Mitchell Cosmetology Schools, and financial-aid advising at UF’s College of Pharmacy. I bring that experience helping people navigate important decisions to my real estate work.

Whether you’re buying your first home, considering an investment or planning for your family, I’ll take time to understand what matters to you. Tell me about your goals, and let’s explore the next step together.
