Personal Profile

I have spent the last 12 years learning everything there is to know about real estate. As a seasoned realtor I'm passionate about helping buyers with their goals of purchasing their first home, their second home, or investment property. I bring many years of proven experience and I have helped many people in the Central New Jersey area with finding their first homes. Happily, I take pride in guiding buyers and families through the complex Home Buying process from start to finish.

As an honest and experienced real estate agent, I am focused and dedicated to educating and assisting first-time homebuyers, especially in preparing (with the necessary simple steps) to be eligible to purchase a house, with the outlook that in a short time, they can be ready to achieve their dream of homeownership. With my sharp knowledge of the local housing market, I've helped over 128 families in the Central New Jersey area find their dream home - and I'm confident I can help you find yours too!

As a homeowner, if you are looking to sell in the near future, I have a deep level of expertise to help you find the best pricing-strategy to meet your time-frame, and your financial needs. As a seller you want to effectively and (beautifully) market the home and then negotiate to secure the highest possible price and cleanest terms for the sale. I take the time to carefully consult with a home seller and together we can come up with the best plan of action that will result in a successful sale. I provide regular communication throughout the Home Selling process which leads to a legendary client experience.

My secret sauce, and the reason for my happy clients reviews, is directness, transparency, stylish home staging and compelling listing marketing, expert negotiations, and the ability to keep all the people and deals on track - calmly and professionally. This ability is part natural instinct and part commitment to advanced, ongoing training and education.

My business is built on communication, dedication, and transparency; as well as referrals, that's why my goal is to far exceed your expectations!

  • Buyer review
    Karen was amazing! She was very detail oriented, knowledgeable, kind, prompt, and answered every question. She was instrumental in making this first time home buying process such a smooth one! Hope to work with her again in the future, and will be referring her to friends and family. Thank you, Karen!
  • Buyer review
    Karen understood very well the type of house that we were looking to buy. We had been under contract on a multi-family one but later it turned out to be a short sale and the bank (lien holder) came back to ask even asking for a higher purchase price than we had originally made the deal for. We had to walk away from that because it was ridiculous. We continued to look at houses unti the one came for sale. Karen, with her expertise and practical knowledge helped me and my wife with everything necessary to win the house against the other buyers competing for it. She was always communicating every step of the process. She also helped us with all the paperwork about getting a CO and Fire Cert. from the township that was required to be able to close. She also recommended the mortgage lender and the attorney. It was stressful at times but it was all worth it. Overall we were very happy with the whole experience
  • Buyer review
    We had bought our first multifamily home with Karen back in 2015. She had a lot of patience with us in walking us through the process as first-time home buyers. Our search for a 2 family-house back then was very tiring but we remember Karen being always there for us to guide us, explain to us what was happening with the bank loan, what was going on with the municipal permits for the CO that the owner had to resolve with the housing department of Linden. The closing got delayed a few times but Karen was always communicating with us at every step of the way and always actively communicating with the seller's agent to make sure we were all working together to get to the closing date. We did, we finally closed and we were very happy with the purchase of our first house which as a 2 family-house was a very intelligent decision for me and my wife and our small family. Fast forward a few years to 2023, we outgrew the apartment and needed to upgrade to a bigger better space because our fam
  • Seller review
    Overall a good experience. It took longer than expected to sell the house because the price was out of range for that area, but that is not necessarily Karen's fault since there were not many comparables in the area. I learned a valuable lesson on choosing future investments (stay away from septic and well water in a town where 95percent of the homes are on city sewar and water). Karen worked hard on the listing and in the end I was happy with her work.
