Karen Benvenuto is the easily the most skilled, patient and savvy realtor in the Hamptons. She's exceptionally knowledgeable about the area and she thoroughly knows her clients and exactly what they're looking for. Prior to working with Karen, I was with a different realtor for five months who was absolutely awful and made a terrible impression on the entire Hamptons buying experience. I switched to Karen and her firm upon a friend's recommendation, and ended up purchasing a home within six weeks of meeting her - that's a testament to how incredible she is at her job. She's genuinely a pleasure to deal with, super efficient and simplifies an often complicated process with her calm, kind and easy going demeanor. Karen was extremely responsive to my many questions & concerns - no matter what time of day or night - and always took the extra time to talk through a variety of issues right through the signing of the contract, a point during which some realtors walk away and leave you to deal with a closing lawyer. Karen is solutions-oriented and had multiple recommendations or referrals at the ready for any issue that arose along the way. One thing I particularly liked about her approach was the genuine care and personal touch she shows for her clients. I could tell immediately she wasn't going to push a more elaborate home on me for the sake of a bigger sale. She knew what I wanted within a few weeks of spending the time to get to know me and didn't waste my time with excessive listings or showings. The negotiation process would not have gone nearly as well had Karen not been my realtor and my advocate throughout. I highly recommend using Karen for a purchase OR a sale - simply put, she masterfully gets it done and will no doubt exceed your expectations.
