ARealtor since 2002, Karen Consalvo has an associate’s degree in business from the State University of New York. Prior to real estate, she worked with her husband in a bread distributorship he owned and before that, she worked for a telecommunications company.
In her role in telecommunications, Consalvo acquired customer service skills and learned how to deal with all sorts of people in a variety of financial situations. In her husband’s successful business, she honed business acumen and got a knack for finance, which has proven useful in real estate.
After her husband sold the distribution business and moved on to something else, Consalvo decided to return to her real estate roots. Her mother, who recently passed away, and her husband had a real estate office in Westchester.

“I treat people like I would want to be treated, I’m not over the top pushy,” she said. “I want them to be happy, sometimes that takes a little bit longer.”
Her relationships with clients don’t end at the closing table and she has made longtime friends with many of them, gaining a lot of business through their referrals.
