Widely recognized as a seasoned professional, she has earned a reputation as a distinguished industry expert and a revered leader. Karen's ability to cultivate enduring relationships with clients has not only secured repeat business but has also led to a vast network of referrals within the competitive real estate landscape.
Embarking on her journey in real estate as an agent for distinguished firms, Karen quickly ascended to the role of Sales Director. In this capacity, she exhibited her prowess by successfully launching two offices in the vibrant TriBeCa neighborhood. Despite her achievements in leadership, Karen later chose to return to her passion for sales, joining one of Manhattan's most prestigious real estate firms.
Karen's forte lies in her exceptional talent for matching clients with their dream homes. Leveraging innovative marketing techniques, she showcases properties with a competitive edge, consistently achieving successful sales and leaving clients delighted. Her perceptive understanding of clients' needs and preferences has been a cornerstone of her enduring success in the industry.
Beyond her real estate endeavors, Karen is a devoted practitioner and teacher of Yoga and meditation. Having made Harlem her home since 2009, she cherishes the neighborhood for its tight-knit community, diverse culinary offerings, and vibrant arts and music scene. Karen dedicates a significant portion of her time to supporting community initiatives related to the arts and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
As a testament to her commitment to the industry, Karen is an active member of the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY). She has contributed her expertise to various REBNY committees, including the Deal of the Year committee, the Ethics Committee, and the Downtown Committee. In her role on the Downtown Committee, Karen played a pivotal role in fostering positive relationships among industry firms.
Together with her business partner, Leanne Stella and team members, Jordan Padgett, and Eyitayo Adegoke, Karen is a founding member of the Gastiaburo & Stella team. The team's core values include a commitment to giving back to the community, with a percentage of their commissions dedicated to supporting art and community initiatives. Karen Gastiaburo's extensive experience, unwavering expertise, and dedication to her clients and community have firmly established her as a highly respected and successful figure in the New York City real estate industry.
“I have known Karen for over 15 years, having purchased at least half a dozen investment properties in Manhattan. On every single occasion we ended up buying either the first or second property that she had picked for me! She always knew what my needs were and took the time to listen and understand what I was looking for. When describing Karen, words that come to mind include: intuitive, knowledgeable, informed, dedicated, and above all, an amazing person. Karen’s skills and talents as a realtor are unparalleled.” – Indira K."Karen is an amazing real estate broker -- warm, personal, patient, and accommodating. During the most stressful time of my life -- selling a home of 30+ years, Karen's mastery made this challenge to a rewarding experience. Karen has a thorough understanding of the real estate market, including the complexities of NYC coops, is thoughtful and responsive and listens to her clients' needs. All in all, Karen was a pleasure to work with, I recommend her wholeheartedly." - Tina I.“Karen was a godsend. My husband and I were first-time buyers in New York City; we didn’t know the first thing about becoming homeowners. Karen walked us through the entire process from beginning to end and was there for us the whole way, with knowledge and understanding. When we had questions, she had answers. When we needed resources, she connected us to them. She is calm, kind, competent, and has her act together. We ended up buying a co-op, and the board remarked to us how well put-together our package was! All thanks to Karen. We were in such good hands, and for that we are grateful and want to sing her praises to others!” – Kim B."We were not looking forward to the exhausting ordeal that searching for and buying an apartment in New York City can be. Because of Karen Gastiaburo we were spared firsthand knowledge of that experience. A distinguishing feature of Karen's is her network and resources. We took full advantage of the people and options she had at her fingertips. We were able to leave parts of the process with her team while we attended to a family crisis. Everything went much better than we could have hoped for thanks to Karen." – Luis C."I have known Karen for a very long time [but] I live in New Jersey. I was looking for a home and working with a realtor for many, many months and I felt that this person was just not listening to me or answering my questions. Out of desperation, I called Karen for advice. She found me a realtor in Hoboken: Maria Oblow, who listened to me. Within a month, I found a beautiful apartment in a fabulous building. I could not be happier. Even if you don't live in the borough of Manhattan, you can rely on Gastiaburo and Stella to find you the absolute perfect person to work with. They prevented me from making the worst mistake of my life and found me someone that was amazing; I am so grateful!" – Kimberly W.Awards & Recognition
