Reviews
Karen is one of the most honest Real Estate Agents around. She explained everything to me and showed me different apartments from different management companies. She was easy to talk to and it was such a pleasure to work with her. I've worked with other agents and never had any good experiences with any of them. Karen made my apartment search seamless and fun. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an apartment, you won't be disappointed with her expertise and knowledge.

Apartment hunting in NYC is CRAZY!!! I've contacted so many brokers from all different firms and it was a joke until I met Karen. Karen was such a pleasure to work with. Karen was HONEST and organized. She had her showings all lined up and we just went from one showing to another without any issues. I finally found my perfect NYC apartment thanks to Karen. If anyone is looking and tired of the run around, I highly recommend contacting Karen.

In a market frequently composed of untrustworthy brokers, Karen was quite the contrary. She expressed care and consideration for both mine and my roommate's needs. Overall an incredibly gracious and professional broker when my roommate and I embarked on our apartment search in the Spring of 2015.

Karen Koo is the first agent that I've met who really goes the extra mile. Literally! She not only demonstrated the flexibility, persistence and grittiness necessary to make things happen in the NYC rental market but went out of her way to assist in helping to make the transition seamless. Whether staying on top of the exhaustive details required for applications, conveying her knowledge of neighborhoods, meeting up at the bank, or arranging for keys she has the knowledge and energy for it all. I will most definitely use her in all my future real estate transactions and highly recommend her for anyone searching an extremely competent, attentive rental agent in the tough NYC market.

Karen is incredible! Although we did not end up renting through her, she was definitely the best experience we had of them all (it just worked out that there was a listing in another area that we took after our first choice with Karen was taken). She's trustworthy, and not pushy at all, which is very rare with agents! I can't stress enough how great that made us feel about the process. She didn't make us feel as though we were giving up the opportunity of a life time because we didn't sign on the spot and was honest with us about perks and drawbacks. She didn't rush us either and was punctual, which is ALSO rare. Really stellar experience working with her and I would recommend whole heartedly.
