Highly satisfied with Karen Cusanelli. She was extremely professional and exhibited a keen knowledge of the business. She was very helpful in every way from start to closing. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone who is looking to sell or buy a home. I felt she was actually a friend to me as well as a Realtor!

Karyn was truly amazing. I had multiple life changes going on and I am certain I would have not sold my house if it wasn’t for Karyn! Not only did she keep everything on point but the house sold for over asking. She is a great person and agent! I will be using Karyn again and I have already recommended her to my friends and family

Karyn is the type of agent you hope for. She’s knowledgeable, responsive, and stays on top of things. We constantly get like she was going above and beyond what a realtor should be. Her connections with other members in the industry (mortgage rep, lawyer, inspector, etc) made this process so easy. We are so happy we were able to work with Karyn
