"Karen and Lori are truly the dream team! They were kind and compassionate guides throughout the process of selling my mother’s Upper East Side apartment. They are dedicated professionals who have communicated with me regularly. Their knowledge of the market and honesty about value-based pricing aided in finding the right buyer. I can’t tell you how invaluable Karen & Lori’s willingness to be present when I could not has been to me. These women did everything from arranging for cleaning services to finding donation sites for household items. I could not have done it without them! Seller, Andrea S."

"We can’t speak highly enough about our experience with Karen. As first-time buyers, she made my husband and I feel like she was someone we could trust. She was thorough, patient, accessible, and honest. She knew what we needed. Her hard work ethic, professionalism and honesty made this overwhelming process one we will never forget. She was available at all hours of the day and went beyond the call of duty. She even made us a delicious meal the day we moved into our dream apartment. Buyers, Elissa and Jason E."

"Karen Portugal-Whiton and Doris Benedek, Real Estate Agents of Stribling@Compass, were the agents for the sale of my apartment at 900 Fifth Avenue. They were extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable throughout the whole process. They really cared about me, understood my needs from the very first open house, and always gave me ideas on how to utilize the space. It was wonderful to work with the two of them. Seller, Bernice Podell."

"Karen was great to work with. Karen and Doris Benedek helped guide us through the steps necessary to get an apartment in estate-condition ready to sell. They helped us find a contractor and a wonderful stager. Karen was always willing to help out with any project along the way and met the demands of every showing. She was prompt, patient, and an excellent communicator. She is hard-working, honest, and fun to be with. I will miss her calls. Seller, Sharon Cott."

"Karen and Lori made our first-time NYC home-buying experience a breeze. From day 1 they brought their A game, always prepared for meetings, diligently answering questions and addressing our concerns. They truly had our best interests at heart, regardless of how many showings it took, never once pressuring us in our decisions. Once a decision was made, they were by our side during the negotiation phase and eventually the board application process, diligently reviewing and providing feedback to ensure we had a solid package! Both of them bring their own expertise and complement each other perfectly. We cannot thank them enough for partnering with us during this difficult but exciting journey. Buyer, Chris and Tanja Buckner"
