Michelle Yesaitis & Karen Scarpa, RE/MAX First Realty

Fantastic experience: Working with this incredible mother-and-daughter realtor team was one of the best decisions we made when selling our home. From our very first meeting, they demonstrated professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for our family and our goals. They were dedicated to us every step of the way – before, during, and even after the sale. They guided us through the preparation process, provided expert advice on staging and pricing, and were always available to answer questions and ease any concerns. Their communication was exceptional, keeping us informed throughout the entire journey. What truly sets them apart is the personal attention and commitment they bring to their clients. We never felt like just another transaction; we felt valued, supported, and cared for. Their hard work, attention to detail, and tireless advocacy helped us achieve a successful sale, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Even after closing, they continued to check in and offer assistance, proving that their dedication extends far beyond the sale itself. If you're looking for realtors who are knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and genuinely invested in their clients, we wholeheartedly recommend this amazing mother-and-daughter team. They exceeded our expectations in every way and made what could have been a stressful process an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Negative experience: Do not hire! Dragging their feet for a $1,000 credit. They did not disclose that there was a fire hazard issue in the house I am purchasing even though there is clear evidence that they knew about it. I would never buy a house listed with these real estate agents! (I will not call them realtors!) They are very unprofessional and are liars! If I could give zero stars, I would as they do not deserve even one star. Closing now is 3 days overdue, and I will not be able to to close for another two plus weeks due to their misrepresentation and blatant disregard of professional conduct! The reply to this review is inaccurate. My review stands. The same real estate agent sold the house to the seller and knew about the fire hazards and chose NOT to disclose them.

Fantastic experience: Karen was a pleasure to work with. She gave us great pointers. She was always available to us. She had the property sold within 2 months. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Karen was one of the most professional realtors I ever worked with in my 15 years in Real Estate. She also went above and beyond in helping with the closing and handling details throughout the listing. Thank you very much Karen!!

Fantastic experience: When my mother moved into managed care, it fell on me to sell her Home. I live about an hour away and I had no connections in the area so I asked a friend of mine to recommend a realtor for the sale of the home. This mother daughter team is terrific. I cannot say enough about the work they put into selling my mom‘s home. They helped me dispose of her furniture. They took gorgeous pictures of the property, I did virtually nothing but sign the closing papers. Everything from gate to wire was taken care of by them. They were beyond responsive in terms of letting me know where we were in the process. Very good at communicating with me when I had questions. The house was put on the market on Thursday and sold by Friday at full asking, I cannot say enough about how grateful I was to have their help. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t have gotten to the finish line without these two! In fact, they were the selling agents when we purchased our Monroe house in 2016. They have been so consistently respected in the community that we also looked to them as our selling agents in 2025 when we were ready to move on. They can walk you through it all, including those unexpected obstacles that always come up. The rest of your “team” (attorneys, stagers, photographers, etc) will all work seamlessly with Michelle and Karen. You can even get great recommendations from them if you don’t already have a “team” assembled. They’ll keep you moving forward, and work to get you the best deal on both the sale or purchase end. Other realtors know them well, so negotiations run smoothly. We got well over asking. Get these two on your side!! Thanks again Karen and Michelle!

Fantastic experience: Karen and Michelle Scarpa were a pleasure to work with as our real estate agents. They are both very efficient and professional at their job. Karen and Michelle also bring a very positive attitude and are extremely easy to get along with. I would highly recommend selecting their services.

Fantastic experience: Karen and Michelle were great. This was our first time selling a house. They took their time getting to know us and our home. When it came down to it they presented us with the best plan for selling our house. While others offered some of the same options, their presentation and willingness to go above and beyond shined through. Once we received offers they led us step by step of the process and made sure everything was taken care of. Would highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Karen Scarpa and Michelle Yesaitis did a phenomenal job selling our home. From start to finish, their expertise, and communication were exceptional. Michelle was always one step ahead, handling all the paperwork and keeping us updated throughout the process. Karen's decades of experience, strategic advice and negotiation skills were instrumental in getting our home sold quickly and efficiently for much more $$ than we listed for. We truly felt that Karen and Michelle had our best interests at heart. We highly recommend Karen and Michelle for their professionalism, dedication, and outstanding service !!

Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience working with Karen. I highly recommend having her as your realtor if you are looking to buy a home. She stays on top of everything, will provide you with in depth and accurate information, and is efficient at her job. Karen is also very easy to talk to and works extremely hard to meet the expectations of her buyers, and the style of home that they are looking to purchase. It was a pleasure having Karen as our real state agent.

Fantastic experience: Karen Scarpa was working with me and my wife for over a year to find us our home in Greenbriar/Whittingham. Karen always made herself available anytime to answer any and all of my questions and concerns. Karen also helped us with our movers and other contractors if needed. Karen does not end her job at the closing table she will be always available to help if you need it. We were very lucky to have Karen represent us and in doing so we now have a new friend. I only wish we could give Karen 10 stars because 5 stars is not a high enough for what Karen does for her clients.

Fantastic experience: She puts 100% of her efforts to get results.

Fantastic experience: I cannot imagine a better real estate agent. We are from out of state and Karen handled everything for the sale of our mother’s home, from cleaning out the house to challenging buyers and everything in between. I don’t know how we would have done it without her. If I could give her 6 stars I would.

Fantastic experience: Any time you are buying or selling a home, it can be stressful. My favorite thing about working with Karen is that she made it such a less stressful experience. We had a complicated out-of-state sale of a home, and Karen made it all work going above and beyond on numerous occasions to overcome any obstacle. I highly recommend Karen for your real estate needs. She will not only get the highest sale price but she will make sure everything goes smoothly.

Fantastic experience: Karen Scarpa listed my home and it sold in about 10 days. We were offered more than asking price which was almost inconceivable to me. She is the consumate professional! Knowledgeable, intelligent, personable. She knew exactly what she was doing. She was always available to answer any of my calls and texts. I have dealt with quite a few realtors over the years. Karen, is by far the one of the very best. There is nothing too much to ask of her. She went above and beyond with the sale of my home. I highly recommend her ro anyone selling a home. I will recommend her to wveryone I know!! Thank you Karen!!!

Fantastic experience: Helped me buy my house, was nothing but the best!

Fantastic experience: If there were 10 stars I’d give her 11!! Original agent continued to tell us to reduce the price, reduce the price and still no buyers. A friend recommended I call Karen Scarpa , needless to say my home sold within 2 weeks and above asking!!! The traffic viewing my home tripled! it was insane. What a difference!! Who knew?? When you want your house sold Karen is the ticket. I also purchased a home with Karen. She’s amazing…friendly a real gem of a person.

Whether you’re on the buying end or selling end, the Scarpa team has your best interest in mind and will “go to bat” for you. They were extremely patient with us, compassionate during stressful times, they explained details in the contract as well as the buying/selling process and answered all of our questions. We were at ease knowing the Scarpa team was in our corner. We would definitely use Karen, Mike and Michelle again in the future and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Karen will negotiate the lowest price when buying and the highest price when selling. Karen treats your money as if it was hers. I would not hesitate to recommend Karen to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Fantastic experience: As first time home buyers, she made the process very smooth and was super knowledgeable about everything! She helped negotiate a great price for us. During walkthroughs she was basically a home inspector and could tell you everything that was wrong with a property. Would recommend.

Negative experience: I called on Saturday Moring regarding a home on Gravel Hill Road Monroe, NJ. Interested in buying it, left a long voicemail with my number twice. It's now late Tuesday and not a single call. Not what I would expect from a professional...now we know who isn't a professional.
