About Me
I am a life long New Yorker. In a former life I was a fashion designer, then I bought a brownstone with a partner which we renovated and turned it into a cooperative. It was a fascinating experience which changed my life. I had the “real estate” bug and became a Real Estate agent.
In 1984, I opened Klara Madlin Real Estate. We specialized in sales of coops, condominiums and townhouses on Manhattan’s Upper Westside. Over the years business has expanded to include rentals as well as real estate throughout Manhattan as well as some sales in Brooklyn and Long Island City.
Because I have renovated my own homes many times over the years and because of my design background I became an Accredited Home Stager (AHS). My expertise is an asset in helping sellers prepare for the sale of their homes.
I am also a certified Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES). This specialty is designed to help the growing community of people over 50 who are downsizing and moving back to the city after raising families in the suburbs. As well as to help those who would like to sell and have “trapped equity” in their homes. Moving is very stressful especially if someone has been in one place for many years. I try to make this transition as stressfree as possible.
My professional accomplishments include:
- Founder of Westpro, a Westside Broker Association which later merged with the Real Estate Board of New York.
- 2008 President of the Manhattan Association of Realtors
- 2009 President of the Manhattan MLS
- 2011 Vice Chairman of the New York City co-op issues committee of NYSAR
I have been a speaker on NPR, RCN, at NAR conferences, REBNY meetings and at the New York Association of Cooperatives and Condos.
I am a life long New Yorker who has lived in Manhattan on the Upper Westside, Upper Eastside and in Morningside Heights. I love real estate and am fortunate to own property in Manhattan, Long Island and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
