Get to Know Me

I am a highly accomplished luxury real estate agent with over a decade of experience, I am dedicated to providing my clients with exceptional care, expertise, and guidance throughout every step of the home buying and selling process. My commitment to my clients goes beyond transactions—it’s about building relationships based on trust, integrity, and results. My greatest reward is the trust my clients place in me, which is reflected in the many referrals I receive from their friends and family.

As an award-winning agent with a strong moral compass, I pride myself on conducting every aspect of my work with the highest level of ethics and integrity. Whether I’m helping a seller achieve top dollar for their property or guiding a buyer to their dream home, my perseverance, market knowledge, and attention to detail ensure a smooth and successful experience.

A true New Jersey enthusiast, I love everything about the Garden State from vacationing "Down the Shore" on Long Beach Island (LBI) to apple picking at local farms in the fall, day ski trips to nearby resorts in the winter, and watching my daughter’s equestrian pursuits year-round. My deep connection to the area fuels my passion for helping clients find not just a house, but a home in a community they will truly love. My deep connection to the area fuels my passion for helping clients find not just a house, but a home in a community they will truly love. I also bring strong leadership skills to my role as a board member of the Overlook Auxiliary, where I serve as Chair of Art at Overlook and lead 65+ Auxiliary members with creativity and inspiration. Together, we organize impactful service and fundraising events in support of the local Overlook Medical Center.
 
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Government and Politics with a focus on conflict resolution and negotiation from the University of Maryland. These areas of study translate seamlessly into real estate, where effective negotiation and problem-solving are key to achieving client goals. I also have a minor in French and speak the language fluently, allowing me to connect with a diverse clientele.

If you’re looking for a trusted advisor who will go above and beyond to ensure your success in buying or selling your home, I’d be honored to work with you. Let’s achieve your real estate goals together!

Success Stories

Annamarie S.

Karen's commitment to selling our long-time primary residence was truly remarkable. She identified reliable and reasonable vendors who helped with pre-sale prep, provided sound advice when reviewing offers, and ensured that our closing process was completely effortless. Her keen insight into the evolving residential housing market was key in pricing our home. Her integrity was unquestionable. I heartily recommend Karen to anyone in the Berkeley Heights, New Providence and Summit area who needs an agent to either sell or buy a home.

We have been beyond lucky to have been introduced to Karen who came highly recommended by one of her previous client. She has been nothing but the best we could have asked for to help us navigate our house hunting journey as we transition from Asia to the US. Despite only being able to communicate virtually through several FaceTime calls and many daily WhatsApp messages she meticulously guided us providing detailed information. When we finally found our dream house we knew we were in good hands thanks to her experience. Karen has worked tirelessly to make our dream of homeownership a reality and we will be forever thankful.

Karen helped my wife and I find our first home through an incredibly difficult real estate market. She was patient, honest, and thorough with her advice throughout the process. We never felt rushed or pushed, and when it came time to make a bid, she gave us all of the information needed to make the decision. She is incredibly knowledgeable and we can't recommend her enough.

I had an extraordinary situation: I lived in Florida but needed to find, purchase, and move into a new home in New Jersey in a very short time. Further complicating things was the list of essential features I needed; and, I was completely new to the area! Karen listened very carefully, and together we made lists of potential homes that she previewed, and then we FaceTimed the best ones as I was unable to travel to see them myself. She was so quick to understand my needs! We ultimately found "the one", and I was so confident in the choice that I didn't fly up until the inspections...
