My wife and I have worked with Karina 7 years ago as buyers and in Spring of 2020 as sellers. She is a knowledgeable and a dedicated professional. She was a great help through every step of the process--staging, marketing, negotiation, and the mountain of paperwork needed to complete a deal. If we are ever doing business in Hudson County again, we would choose Karina without hesitation. Highly recommended.

Karina is great! She helped my buy my first condo in Hoboken and then helped me sell it 10 years later. I couldn’t have asked for better representation and advisor throughout the process. I recently recommended her to a friend and they also thought she was great. If I’m ever on the market in the area again she will be my first call.

What initially started as "mom friends because of our girls" quickly became a whole backbone for me to lean and count on. After such a devastating hit to our family unit, Karina knew how important it was for me to get back into town for my daughter's education and overall betterment. As a single mom now, Karina helped me navigate every step of the way. From financials, mortgage brokers, attorneys, basically anything and everything you can think of throughout the purchasing process. Trust me, while purchasing a home brings a ton of excitement, it also carries its own challenges. To have had Karina by my side guiding and recommending me only the best possible outcomes for me was beyond helpful and overall, the best part of the whole buying experience. Even now, after my daughter and I closed on our home, Karina continues to share her knowledge and recommendations during the move in process, She continues to follow up with the developer and tackles the littlest details for me, ensuring that one less "overwhelming task" is now off my hands. Ladies and gentlemen, IF YOU DO NOT HIRE KARINA, YOU ARE MISSING OUT! On not only working with a professional realtor but with a caring, compassionate person willing to help and guide you and your family into the future to enjoy nothing but wonderful new experiences in your future home. I am so thankful for you and your services! Keep empowering women and making us feel great again!

Karina has been instrumental in helping us find the perfect property, figure out the offer price and negotiating the offer terms. She knows the market really well and has provided a lot of great insights. We were able to navigate through certain risks in buying property with her help and we are happy with our purchase.

Karina was amazing to work with and helped find my wife and I a lovely home in Hoboken. Throughout the whole process she was very knowledgeable and helped guide us in areas where we were not experts as this was only our second home purchase. She advocated for our needs and was able to help us lock down our dream home at a great price. Would definitely recommend Karina to anyone looking for a home in NJ in the future.

I highly recommend Karina Abad. She was a true professional. She was instrumental in finding our home and more importantly selling our home. She knows the market and was so helpful in creating a strategy
to sell our home. She took care of all the small details and was always there with a helpful hand. I believe anyone using her will not be disappointed.

Karina represented me in the sale of a residential property ten years ago as well as the subsequent purchase of my next home. When it came time to then sell that house, there was only one call I knew I needed to make. Karina is exactly what the real estate business needs more of. She is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and professional in every aspect of her job. She also possesses the rare trait of being genuinely concerned about the well-being of her clients. Karina’s attention to detail is remarkable as is her ability to provide wise counsel as both a buyer’s and seller’s agent. She is simply the best.

Karina is absolutely wonderful to work with. She took the time to listen, and to understand what my needs were from my new home (transit, bedrooms, storage etc), my price point, and what my aesthetic tastes were. She then targeted homes that fit the profile i was seeking. When touring homes she pointed out defects or things that she noticed that i would want to consider. I never felt pressured to go higher on my offer, nor to go outside of my budget. She was available to make same-day offers even if it meant working late. After my purchase she also helped with referrals to contractors, cleaning people, etc. She is a gem and I highly recommend her.

Karina helped me buy my first apartment and she was amazing! So helpful and so knowledgeable about the industry and the buildings in my area. She was able to get additional information for me any time I asked, and continued to assist even after the purchase completed. I've no doubt that I will call upon her again in the future and will recommend her to anyone I know.

Karina is the absolute best at what she does. I've worked with her on multiple occasions over the last decade - she helped me find and buy my condo in Hoboken, and has helped me rent it out to tenants multiple times since then. If you're looking for a realtor in the Hoboken area, there is literally no one better.
