About Donna
Born in Jersey City and raised in Old Bridge Township, I’ve spent my life deeply connected to Middlesex, Monmouth, and now Ocean County. With roots in New Jersey and a lifelong love of its neighborhoods, outdoor spaces, and communities, I know this state like the back of my hand. My passion for real estate started early. At 15, I was working alongside family in new construction homes, developing hands-on skills in home improvement and repair. By 17, I was tracking the local housing market in the newspaper long before online listings existed. What began as curiosity quickly became a lifelong career. In 2001, I built my first home in East Brunswick as a single mother, managing the entire process from financing to contractors — a life-changing experience that fueled my dedication to helping others achieve homeownership. Soon after, I partnered with my sister on a home flip, where I gained valuable insight into investment and renovation. Encouraged by my mother’s words — “This is what you do” — I earned my real estate license in 2005 and have been serving clients with integrity, knowledge, and passion ever since. Today, I live in Ocean County, just minutes from Monmouth, where I designed and built my second home from the ground up. Acting as my own general contractor, I handled every detail, from land clearing to the certificate of occupancy. That experience, along with decades of hands-on work in construction, design, staging, and remodeling, gives me a unique eye for helping buyers see a property’s potential and guiding sellers in preparing their homes for market. As a licensed REALTOR®, a member of multiple MLS boards, and a Notary Public, I am committed to providing full-service support to my clients. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I bring local expertise, a deep understanding of the housing market, and a genuine passion for helping people find their place in New Jersey.

There is no one better than Gerry!

The house sale that Gerry was involved with was "intricate" to say the least. Gerry took ownership and lead the way, and by doing so commanded respect from everyone that we dealt with, from other agents, to inspectors, to contractors. He knew someone reputable that could resolve each of the many issues that we encountered. He knows the market and represented my family with professionalism and dignity. It was like having my "brother" handle a family matter!!!

"Expert guidance that goes way beyond the sale"

"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!"

Say "YES" to the "YES TEAM"!!

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.

Above and Beyond

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 made the process

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.
