"Karen represented me in my home purchase in Brooklyn as well as the sale of said apartment. I've worked with a few agents before and Karen is easily the best. I would never do a deal in NY without her! She isn't pushy and tells you exactly what you need to know. She is very knowledgeable of the overly complicated process and always responds promptly. Made the whole thing seem so easy!" - Will

"I cannot recommend Karen enough. We will have another transaction in our future and we absolutely plan on using her again. She knew the market, gave great recommendations and lead us through the whole process perfectly. And we could't be more thrilled with the apartment! All around a fabulous experience!"

"Karen helped us buy our first apartment and was extremely responsive, easy to work with, knowledgeable and professional. She knew the market and could read between the lines when it came to listings, negotiations, etc. which was a big asset. After the purchase she continued to stay in touch with us for years and we then engaged her purchase of our next home, as well as sale of the previous one. Again she proved to be a great source of information, reassurance, and friendship during the whole process. Would highly recommend her!"

"Karen has been our agent for three total transactions (purchase of our first apartment, its subsequent sale, and our second apartment purchase).
We had the fortune of discovering Karen at an open house during the search for our first place about three years ago. We had been through a couple of agents already that we were not happy with for various reasons. She was so down to earth, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful with every step of the buying and selling process. She is such a valuable resource to have in your corner for any sort of real estate question in NYC, and will fight tooth and nail to ensure the best for her clients!"
