"Karen did an excellent job evaluating, marketing, and selling our home. She worked tirelessly, even going as far as planting our flower pots in the rain! She's energetic and extremely responsive. Her expertise shows. All of this lead to a very quick and successful sale over our asking price. We would highly recommend her!"
★★★★★
"Karen, there is no realtor more familiar with the market and history of Millburn/Short Hills as well as the most professional, hardest working agent around. I couldn't imagine my family using anyone else. Thank you."
★★★★★
"I grew up in Millburn and when it was time to sell my family's childhood home, we turned to Towne Realty and Karen Bigos. The sale occurred during an extremely busy and stressful time in our lives, and Karen and her team worked efficiently and with the utmost professionalism. They provided excellent advice based on their experience and market knowledge to make the process as easy and smooth as possible. I highly recommend their services."
★★★★★
"Karen’s energy and dedication in getting us to the end zone was greatly appreciated by the whole family. She is a true professional that goes that extra mile for her clients. In our particular situation, Karen was able to navigate and balance the personalities of four siblings and their spouses with ease. She made everyone in the family comfortable I would not hesitate to recommend her."
★★★★★
"We recently decided to move my parents to a retirement home out of state. They had been in their house for 60 years. A tough decision for all. Karen was extremely helpful through the entire process. She is very knowledgeable and guided us every step of the way. Her recommendations were well thought out and were such a tremendous help in getting the house ready to put on the market. The house sold in less than 1 month which I didn't think would have been possible.
Thank you Karen!"
★★★★★
"Karen was extremely helpful with the sale of our home in Short Hills. With three decades of experience in the area, she intimately knows the market and is able to manage your expectations. All of our phone calls and texts were returned promptly and her data bank of sources that were needed to get our house ready to market and staged were all top notch. Moreover, her marketing efforts were most impressive."
★★★★★
"Our parents' house was not an easy sell, particularly in a tough market, and we're very lucky to have worked with Karen, who helped us sell the house quickly and at a good price. She's seen it all, having grown up in the town and become a successful real estate veteran. Karen's very knowledgeable about permits and other requirements and has the credibility with officialdom needed to resolve problems, some of which, in our case came out of the blue. She knows a lot of vendors (e.g., surveyors and environmental firms) and, as a successful broker, she generates a volume of business that kept them responsive on timing and pricing. All in all, a truly impressive performance."
