Wanted to send a huge thank you to Karen! She was such a blessing during a stressful time. No one really warns you how chaotic selling a home can actually be. But Karen answered all our questions and put a lot of our concerns at ease. She made the action of strangers walking through our home very quick and comfortable. She absolutely loves what she does and does it well. If and when the time comes for us to need a realtor again or a friend/family member, we will definitely be giving Karen a call!

My experience with Karen Skala has been outstanding. I met several brokers prior to meeting Karen and her professionalism and responsiveness are unmatched. She is extremely knowledgeable about the complex coop/condo purchasing process and the areas that they are located. Karen was always transparent about the process and she was there to support me in every step of the way throughout the entire process.
Karen Skala, a reliable broker with integrity and dedication to her clients. No matter what type of property you are seeking look no further you will not be disappointed.

My mom and I were so lucky to find Karen. Unfortunately, we had several issues and obstacles to overcome before we could actually sell my mom's property. Karen stuck with us and guided us every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond. I believe most realtors would have abandoned us once they realized what we were up against. In the end, she got it done and sold my mom's property. She's truly an amazing person and my new friend for life.

recently worked with Karen on a very complicated coop transaction that took several years and multiple tries to get. Had it not been for Karen's perseverance the deal would not have closed. Thanks for sticking with it and making sure the deal got done. Great job!

I met Karen kind of by accident when I went to the local real estate office because I needed an appraisal of my apartment which she did for us no charge. My landlord was selling and we were thinking of buying it. Long story short we changed our minds and decided to buy a house instead and I asked Karen to help us find one and she helped get us through what turned out to be a long difficult close. She stuck with us all the way through and helped tremendously to get it done. Now we're moving into our new house. She's experienced and knows what it's like to buy a new home. Highly recommend Karen.

We first met Karen at an open house more than 12 years ago and hit it off right away. She helped us find a co-op apartment to buy in Bayside and gave us fantastic guidance and execution on the neighborhood, schools and co-op process. We kept in touch with her throughout the years and so when it came time for us to move to Long Island, we naturally reached out to her. She was the perfect fit to sell our co-op apartment and we asked her to assist us in finding our home in Long Island. She handled the whole co-op sale processes seamlessly from finding the appropriate buyer, hosting open houses and keeping the board application and approval process moving along.

In our search for a home in Long Island, we searched far and wide in many areas trying to pinpoint our new home. She relentlessly searched listings, sent us ideas and took us to open houses and scheduled visits. Throughout the process, she helped us keep our composure and emotions in check in what was a very competitive and difficult housing market. We lost a few bids and she fought tooth and nail to win. But she never tired in keeping our spirits up and continuing the search. In what ultimately became the home we did end up buying, it almost seemed like we wouldn’t have a chance, but she championed on our behalf with brokers, attorneys and the sellers to make it work and get us under contract. But, it wasn’t over once we were under contract, getting the timing of co-op closing and house closing right was looking bleak but she kept at it continuously to get everything to line up. She went above and beyond and made it all work out.

In the end, it all came down to the unwavering trust we had in Karen to get the job done and go above and beyond to get us through the process. It is because of her work that I sit writing this review from our beautiful new home. I strongly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a broker that seriously cares about finding you the right fit for your family. She won’t BS you, she’ll give you the truth and work tirelessly on your behalf. It is without hesitation that you should believe she will find you something fantastic (or get your home sold)!

There is no way that one can find anyone more professional than Karen at her job.
She was so patient with us during our house hunting which lasted almost a year and always had a big smile on her face no matter what.

When I say that Karen is the best realtor, I don’t exaggerate. We used her for both the selling of our condo in queens, as well as buying our house.

I personally believe that she works 24/7, I never had an issue getting in touch with her. So patient and understanding. Walked us through the whole process, maintained her cool when we didn’t.

She became a friend during the process and I will use her and recommend her to everyone.

Keep up the great work.

It was a long process trying to sell our coop. Karen was there every step of the way. My wife and I knew we were in good hands. Karen highlighted the many features our unit had. We had numerous offers. As difficulties arose with our buyer, Karen (with the help of Donna) made sure everything was taken care of. Buying and selling a home can be very challenging. I have worked with other realtors before, and Karen is by far the most intelligent and hardest working. She was able to explain complicated coop leasing issues in a simple way so it was understandable. Her lawyer recommendation (Joe) was also top notch. If needed, we would use Karen again as our realtor.
