At Compass, our mission is to help everyone find their place in the world.

In Manhattan’s competitive real estate market, “quick and expert” are the two most valuable tools an agent can have. Couple those skills with a true New Yorker’s know-how of the city’s neighborhoods, culture and knowledge of economic/market trends, and the result: Karla is rapidly becoming one of Keller Williams New York City’s (and Manhattan’s) most sought-after agents.

When I’m helping a seller price an apartment, I’m not just looking at what the neighbor listed for.

I’m looking at what actually sold. What’s competing with it right now. The condition. The building. The monthly costs. How long comparable apartments sat on the market.

And then there’s the part that doesn’t show up neatly in a spreadsheet: how buyers are likely to feel when they walk through the door.

Pricing an apartment is about putting all of those pieces together and understanding where it fits in the market today.

Because the right price isn’t just a number. It’s a reflection of the apartment, the competition, and what buyers are responding to.

It's easy to start with the fun part.

The neighborhoods.
The open houses.
The apartment you've already decided you love.

But before that, I want buyers to have a clear understanding of what they can comfortably spend.

Not just the purchase price.

Think about financing, monthly costs, closing costs, cash reserves, and the expenses that come with owning in NYC.

The more clarity you have before you start looking, the easier it is to focus on apartments that actually make sense.

I pay close attention to what happens right after a listing launches from online views, clicks, saves, and shares to social media insights.

Then I look at whether all that work is translating into showings.

Are people booking?
Are they coming back?
What are they saying?
What are they comparing it to?

I follow up with brokers for feedback, gauge interest, and answer questions. It’s about being proactive and paying attention to every detail.

You don’t want to wait months to find out that something isn’t working.

Sometimes the apartment is right and the price is wrong.

Sometimes the price is right and the presentation isn’t doing it any favors.

And sometimes the market is simply telling you something you didn’t expect.

Those first two weeks help us catch what needs to change before we lose momentum.

I love walking neighborhoods with clients because a listing can only tell you so much about a location.

Once we’re outside, we can pay attention to the things that don’t come through on a screen.

Where’s the train?
How far is the grocery store?
What’s the noise like?
What does the block feel like in the morning?
And what changes once the evening sets in?

Two apartments can look very similar online and feel completely different once you’re standing outside the building.

That’s why I like to spend time in the neighborhood, not just inside the apartment.

The right location is about more than a pin on a map. It’s about whether the streets, sounds, routines, and rhythm of the neighborhood fit your everyday life.

Being of service has always been an important part of my life. Before joining the Army, I volunteered with the Red Cross at Ground Zero for nine months, supporting first responders. That experience had a lasting impact on me and ultimately inspired me to join the military.

My time in the Army taught me even more about service, and it’s something I’ve carried with me long after leaving the military.

These days, that looks different.

Some of my favorite days are the ones Duchess and I spend visiting hospitals, schools, and nursing homes. She’s a certified therapy dog, and she has a way of making people smile before I even have a chance to say hello.

I’m also involved with veteran programs, adaptive recreation, and other community initiatives throughout NYC. These opportunities give me a chance to stay connected, show up, and continue doing what I’ve always believed in: being of service to others.

For me, staying connected to the community is simply part of how I want to spend my time.
