Karen brings a unique blend of analytical business savvy and inventive design flair to her clients. With an MBA from the West Coast and sales and marketing experience with a Fortune 50 company, she offers unparalleled business acumen. Her creativity and design sense comes from years as a SoHo Art Gallery Director, as well as from planning and implementing several home renovations in Manhattan and the Hamptons. Karen joined Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices after ranking in the Top 20 for sales and winning the Gold and Platinum Achievement Awards at her previous firm. She is a certified Real Estate Board of New York Negotiation Expert and has earned the Board's New York Residential Specialist designation, which only 2% of the city's licensed residential professionals receive.

She offers discretion, professionalism, and personal attention to each client's unique needs and wants. Karen's marketing background enables her to identify sellers' target markets and present properties in a way that appeals to buyers, often resulting in record-breaking prices. Buyers can expect a hardworking broker who thinks out of the box to find them the perfect home. Karen has a proven track record of leaving no stone unturned. For investors, Karen acts as a one-stop shop, finding properties, renting them, and acting as boots on the ground for out-of-town landlords.

Karen's empathy and unshakeable integrity make her a trusted resource for her clients. She remains a presence in their lives, with some clients inviting her for social outings, while others rely on her for advice related to real estate or future property investments in Manhattan.

Karen lives with her husband on the Upper East Side and raised her college-aged son in the Manhattan private school system, making her an excellent resource for fellow parents. As a board member of her prewar coop, Karen has great insight into the board approval process and how to guide buyers through it.
