Karen Shen

Having been involved in many facets of the Brooklyn and Manhattan residential real estate market for 17 years, Karen brings a special ability to exceed expectations for a wide array of discerning customers. Her broad-based experience includes comprehensive real estate marketing and unparalleled client service, which she honed during the 10 years she spent working in advertising. A native New Yorker, who has lived in Brooklyn for 15 years, Karen served as Treasurer on the Board of her condominium and as a volunteer, who helped to establish the Prospect Heights Historic District.

Following the sale of her condominium, she managed the extensive renovation of her four-story brownstone, which was featured on the Emmy-award winning, PBS television show, This Old House, as the show’s first and only project in New York. In addition to appearing in many of the episodes, Karen published a blog on the This Old House website, which detailed some of the behind-the-scenes action and decision-making of her major renovation.
