About Sharlene
CBR – Certified Buyer Representative
Selling your home is one of the biggest financial moves you'll ever make, and I treat it that way. I negotiate hard to get you top dollar, guide you through every step from pricing to closing, and take the stress off your shoulders so you're never left wondering what happens next.
I'm a Long Island local, a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson with Island Advantage Realty, and a real estate investor myself. My career started in foreclosures and bank-owned (REO) properties, and I've worked on more than 60 short sales. So when a deal gets complicated, I know how to keep it moving.
Moving out of state? I help sellers close one chapter and start the next. I'll connect you with trusted moving companies and estate sale pros to help you declutter, and I'll keep your sale on track while you plan your move.
Buying instead? As a Certified Buyer Representative (CBR), I'm trained to protect buyers' interests from the first showing to the closing table. Whatever your next move is, you'll get straight answers and a clear plan.
