About Karen

Karen Kelley is a top-tier Associate Broker and the founder of The Karen Kelley Team, bringing passion, insight, and artistry to the world of New York City real estate. With over $800 million in closed sales, Karen is known not only for her results-driven expertise but for the genuine care and sophistication she brings to every client experience.

Before rising to the top of NYC real estate, Karen’s journey began in a military family, living in over 12 different states—a formative experience that gave her a deep appreciation for the many distinct cultures and communities that make up the United States. But New York always called to her, and she made her way here as soon as she could.

Karen studied opera at both the Manhattan School of Music and The Mannes College of Music, earning a Bachelor of Science in Music and a Professional Studies Diploma. Her singing career took her across the country, with its pinnacle at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Yet, it was New York that truly held her heart—and real estate became her second stage.

Today, Karen leverages her creative instincts, discipline, and love for New York to help others find their place in this extraordinary city. She’s been consistently ranked among the Top 1% brokers nationwide, and has been recognized in The Wall Street Journal’s Top 75 Manhattan Brokers, as well as #1 in both rentals and sales across several seasons.

Karen specializes in luxury sales, residential resales, and new development, offering trusted representation to local, national, and international clientele. Her knowledge of Manhattan’s neighborhoods—both established and emerging—is unmatched, and her long-standing relationships in the industry make her a trusted guide in an ever-changing market.

For Karen, real estate is more than a profession—it’s an expression of her love for New York, her eye for beauty, and her commitment to helping people find a place where they truly belong.
