"I recently worked with Karen to purchase my new condo, and I couldn’t be happier. I was looking for a very specific type of home, and Karen truly understood my vision—she found me the perfect place, better than I could have hoped for. There were many hurdles along the way, but Karen managed and resolved every issue to everyone’s satisfaction. She even helped me navigate the transition from North Jersey to Central Jersey, handling details that were well beyond her job description. She was an incredible source of knowledge, explaining exactly what to expect (like transitioning to an electric-only complex). My grown children helped with the move and were wowed by Karen's expertise and kindness. I’ve been in my new home for two months now, and my son still tells me to get Karen’s input whenever a question pops up. I cannot say enough good things. If you or someone you know needs a realtor, call Karen!"

I have had the pleasure of working with Karen professionally in the past. She is dedicated to her career in Real Estate and loves helping folks navigate their real estate transactions whether buying or selling. Karen and Michelle work well together. I called Karen to get her advice when deciding to sell my mothers-in-law home in Clearbrook. She gave her opinion of value, condition and the current market, not knowing for certain that she would be listing since we were actively selling by owner. She knew our decision was personal and we would need time to navigate the process. Deciding to list with Karen and Michelle was the best decision we made. There were times that I felt the communication was scarce, but having been in the business I know that life gets busy and the emails and texts don't stop, but little did I know that she was working with potential buyers behind the scene navigating a Bonafide offer once she brought it to the table. She took it upon herself to assist with some HOA issues we were having and helped us to resolve a potential unforeseen violation. Prior to listing with Karen many agents were reaching out to us to list the property. When I asked if they had buyer's they all said "No". Karen did not pursue us as For Sale by Owner, we contacted her. She did not try to persuade us to list, she encouraged us to take our time and gave us a realistic price to list. That being said once we listed at the end of August we were closed by the beginning of December. In addition to working with Karen and Michelle, working with attorney Evan Pickus, Esq. made this entire transaction a breeze.

This was a challenging sale! If not for Karen's knowledge, perseverance and unending patience we would have given up. We are retired Realtors and could not have asked for better representation. Thanks Karen

Karen was more than efficient. She went out of her way to help us through the process and made it as easy for us with whatever situation arose. We would, and we have, recommended her to many of our friends. Karen was not just a realtor, she was a friend.

My husband and I were referred to Donna Stralkus by another client and we are so fortunate. Donna has an in-depth knowledge of NJ and was able to speak to the specifics of why we would or would not like an area based on our search criteria. This knowledge was indispensable in helping us to narrow down our search areas and ultimately in choosing which houses we should go all in on. Donna's second greatest strength and skill is her deep knowledge of real estate and its inner workings. She was able to guide us through the process, helping to navigate the paperwork, relationships and emotional rollercoaster that is purchasing a home. Last but certainly not least is Donna's natural ability to connect. A clear people person at heart, Donna cared for us by remaining calm and focused and always making herself available. Donna spent countless hours doing research, understanding our wants and taking us around weekend after weekend. She is simply the best and ultimately helped us find our dream home. We are forever grateful we were able to work with her and can now call her a friend!
