Maybe you've had your home for a generation or more - or had your first child there. Perhaps you're retiring or downsizing: most people don't actively want to sell their homes - it's just one of life's choices. But once the decision has been made, homeowners hope for a fast turnaround. Karten Real Estate Services sells properties as-is for homeowners who lack the time, money, or desire to repair or update their homes. The agency's namesake and principal, Mark Karten, has earned four nationally recognized designations, including SRS (Sellers Representative Specialist) - of which he is one of two in Queens, NY. He also retains the PSA (Pricing Strategy Advisor), ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative), and SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist) designations. Check it out at https://kresnyc.com The boutique brokerage provides services tailored to homeowners with single-family or multi-family properties who are looking for faster-than-usual closings at the best price possible. Mr. Karten, who has been in business for over 18 years and is focused exclusively on the Queens market, offers 30-minute initial consultations that you can book via phone, Skype or Zoom. If you're a seller, you can expect responsive, on-the-ball service that will put your mind at ease. The housing market in Queens has roughly followed national trends over the last several years. Today, listings in Queens typically spend 80 days - approximately - on the market, while the median listing price in July 2022, was just over $700,000. While the housing inventory has increased month-to-month, so have the prices to date - from less than 2% for 2-bedroom homes to 16% for 5-bedroom units. Mr. Karten’s personalized approach to selling homes is based entirely on your needs and preferences. Above all, he prioritizes listening to you - to understand your timeline and to better appreciate your situation, your concerns, and your goals. His focus is to ensure transparent communication and allow his marketing and negotiating skills to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family. Karten Real Estate Services prides itself on delivering fast, professional, and courteous services - keeping you informed at all times as Mr. Karten collaborates with you to manage the selling process. During the initial meeting or Zoom/Skype consultation, he will also demonstrate the precise steps he uses to market your home - a process he also explains in videos that are released weekly on YouTube. One client commented: “Mark Karten did an excellent job in selling my home in Flushing. He followed through on every promise he made regarding his listing and marketing process, especially his use of his signage, technology, and ability to access the house virtually 24/7. I highly recommend him to anyone considering the sale of their home.” That reviewer is joined by many others who unanimously cheer Mr. Karten's 5-star service. There's no need to leave it all to chance, much less a hustler who doesn't have your best interests at heart. Watch https://youtu.be/L9wdwYbrK1g and see for yourself how the magic happens!
