Karen Kennerly is known in the real estate industry for her ability to combine a talent for finding unusual architectural spaces with originality in making seemingly impossible deals happen. She is a gifted listener and is uncannily empathetic; as a result, she chose to make her entire professional life one of service, whether as a book editor, a director of human rights, or now, as a real estate broker. The energy that drives her success is fueled solely by the spirit of service--to serve her clients’ goals.
...We were very impressed how you really understood what we were looking for and that you only showed us apartments that you knew would be real contenders,” one client wrote. “We have worked with countless realtors before who do not have your matching skills…You taking the time to show us around [the city] is just one example where you went further than others would have…We will certainly recommend you to our friends...A third generation New Yorker, Karen’s knowledge of architecture and interior design began under her architect father’s tutelage and developed through a lifetime of study. During her tenure as the executive director of the international writers’ organization, PEN, she worked with Nobel Prize winners, negotiated among journalists and non-governmental officials around the world and persuaded business men and women to give to the causes of literature and human rights. She is also the published author of two books.
Karen was educated at The Chapin School and at Brown and Columbia Universities, concentrating in literature, musicology and art history. She has lived in Japan where she studied art and architecture, and the classical drama, Noh.
