Michael worked with us to but our home in Rockville Centre. He was incredibly helpful to us and very responsive through the whole process. Buying a home during the pandemic created new obstacles that we didn’t anticipate and Michael easily adapted

Michael Karlen was an excellent broker to work with. He sold my 91 year old mothers house for us. She had been living there for 53 years. It was a very emotional time for us and Michael was very sensitive to our needs. It was a smooth process and

Excellent to work with; very knowledgable and experienced. I cant say enough wonderful things, definitely recommending them to everyone I know! They found me a house in the area I wanted, negotiated a fantastic deal, and were professional and honest.

My experience with the Drew Loren Team has been a wonderful one. Michael Karlen was very patient with my husband and I as we searched far and wide for a house to call our home. We viewed many homes before finding one we liked. Michael was very careful to listen and search for exactly the types of homes we were interested in. We had many questions and felt lucky to work with someone who had so much experience and knowledge in this field. After Superstorm Sandy hit, our soon to be home was destroyed and we were forced to start over. Although we were discouraged, Michael was not. He continued to search with persistence and passion and led us to our dream home. He was always professional and friendly and went out of his way to answer any question we may have had. He has also led us to other professionals that we have needed throughout the process of purchasing and making a house our home. We would never work with anyone else. We strongly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase/rent, etc.

Michael Karlin is one of most dedicated real estate agents around. He stuck by us every step of the way and that was almost 21/2 years. He never gave up on selling our house even after Hurricane Sandy when we thought it would never sell. He is always a phone call away from answering any questions and even stayed with our little dog during open houses. I would recommend him to sell a house.

I had a lot of interest in my home when I was selling, but the Realtor I was using could not seem to close any deal. Michael's experience and professionalism was what helped me to sell my house. I was so pleased dealing with him, and he was truly out to protect my interest and get me a really fair deal. He was there whenever I had a question, always easy to contact. You can't go wrong if you deal with Michael or his associates. There is no better realtor to represent your home or help you find your dream home than the Drew Loren Team at Charles Rutenberg Realty.

They have shown my house to a few of their clients and their feedback was great. They know the local area better than anyone I know. Michael and his team were very helpful in creating traffic at my listing. He also helped show us houses and they were all very close to what wee were looking for.

The Drew Loren Team is honest, professional, caring, and knowledgeable. My wife and I would recommend Michael and Rob to anyone looking to purchase or sell a property in the Oceanside area. They made our experience an easy and patient process! They always had our best interest at heart.

Excellent to work with; very knowledgable and experienced. I can't say enough wonderful things, definitely recommending them to everyone I know! They found me a house in the area I wanted, negotiated a fantastic deal, and were professional and honest. Happy customer here!

Very good communication and very professional. Gave great advice to help sell the property. Helped us with negotiating a price so that it was within the range of the current market. Definitely highly recommended!

Working with Michael Karlen was a pleasure. Honestly. He is truly a professional in every sense. Easy to talk with & always available. Will search high & low & stick with you through the whole process. Buying a home on Long Island can be a tough landscape to navigate, Mike makes it a breeze. Easily the best agent we worked with on 3+ years of house hunting.

This team was very helpful in the sale of my Condo.... Had some issues with the Condo itself, and they were right there to help me to fix these problems.... I would recommend this team to anybody.........

Very happy in my dealings with Drew Loren team. Great knowledge of the area and I feel they tell me what I need to hear not necessarily what I want to hear. Never led me down wrong path. Work hard and professional. John O

My wife and I have been working with Michael for some time now. He has been very attentive to what we are looking for in a home, has spent countless hours finding us the best possible matches, and has been extremely patient with our decision making as well. He has extensive knowledge of the Oceanside area and its surroundings and we cant wait to close on a deal.

Rob Manel, part of this team, is an absolute perfect agent for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is honest and knowledgeable. I purchased my home from him and he was so patient with me and my husband. He did not rush us or make us settle. We went looking until the right house for us came along. He was on top of every listing and kept us informed every step of the way. Even after the process he made sure that we were satisfied. When working with him, you never felt like just another name or number, he truly took each client on a personal basis. He was always interested and motivated to help in each and every step of the process. He is hardworking and met with us anytime that was convenient for us. He knows the neighborhood and his job inside and out. He is definitely the man to work with if you are looking to buy or sell a home.

I highly recommend Rob Manel, part of the Drew Loren Team. Rob is not your 'typical' real estate agent. Rob is honest, patient, and kind. Rob showed my husband and I many houses over the course of a year. He never rushed us or tried to push us into anything. I really felt that Rob had our best interest in mind. I am not an easy person to please, but Rob was able to find us our perfect home. I have already recommended Rob to family and friends, and I will definitely continue to do so. Buying and selling a home is not an easy process, but having someone like Rob to help you really alleviates some of the stress.

Michael Karlen was a very supportive and patient agent. He understood my needs and went above and beyond to meet them. He was fair and extremely knowledgeable. The next time I need a real estate agent, he will be the only one I call.

Mike and Rob worked with my wife and I for almost a year to put us in the house which we currently live. We were first time home buyers with very specific requests, and they patiently stuck with us to make sure we found the best house for us at the best possible price. I was very much impressed with their knowledge of Long Island, the inner workings of a house - when it came to our questions (especially being a first time buyer), and the ever optimistic attitude that we would find our perfect home especially in a difficult real estate market. Let me close by saying that I would happily recommend Mike and Rob to any of my friends or family members that wanted to purchase a house or apartment on Long Island.

I had an amazkng experience with these guys! They were very informative and knowledgeable about the real estatemarket in my area. They were prompt and very resoonsive to all questions I had throughout the home buying proceds

Michael is an awesome realtor. He gets the job done well, always!! The fit is exact between the tenants and the places that we need to rent. Used him on more than one occasion and will continue to do business with him in the future. I even use his cell number when I have to. He is always available.

I would highly recommend Mike & Rob to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent a residential or commercial property. I have personally worked with Mike & Rob for many years on both commercial and residential properties and they are both true professionals and simply a pleasure to work with. Their knowledge and expertise has come in handy many times and has always been trusted and valued. Thank you Mike & Rob!

Mike Karlen was recommended to me by a coworker. He was nice , knowledgeable, and extremely patient with me and my wife while searching for our first home. Mike was there for me when ever I text or called him during the whole process and even after I got my Keys!!! He also gave great advice that probably saved me a ton of headaches now looking back in retrospect . I would highly recommend him!!!!

Mike Karlen is my go-to real estate guy!! He is the consummate professional and takes the stress out of an otherwise hectic situation. He is very knowledgeable and his relaxed personality make his a pleasure to work with. I have used Mike for my own real estate needs and is the only person I recommend to others.

The Drew Loren Team and Michael Karlen were absolutely wonderful to work with when buying our first home. He was incredibly patient with all of us, including my parents and children. Michael understood what we were looking for and made sure to keep our focus clear to him at all times. In the end we bought the perfect house for our family of 6 and we are still excited when we pull into our driveway!

Michael Karlen has been such a blessing in this process. His patience is by far what helped us find the perfect home. It seemed like a long, overwhelming process, but his willingness to keep showing all pertinent inventory, helped us narrow down and pinpoint what was right for us. Happy beyond words can describe, I am not only thankful for Michael’s guidance and knowledge, but for his friendship and loyalty throughout the end of the process and beyond! Thank you Michael, you’ve helped make our dream come true! I, hands down suggest you choose Michael Karlen for all of your home purchasing and selling needs, you will be so happy you did!!!!

We had the privilege of working with Rob Manel when selling our home of 35 years in Oceanside. From the very beginning Rob was an absolute pleasure to work with. Rob's knowledge of the local market is 2nd to none. He was spot on with all of his advice and guidance which helped make this very difficult transition a-lot easier. Rob always made himself available and on the rare occasion he couldn't accept a phone call he was extremely quick to call back and address any need which may have arisen. We highly recommend Rob and his team to anyone in the local area.

Rob Manel was a phenomenal LISTING agent of our home in Garden City S. His attentiveness helped make this sale a pleasurable experience. Rob is extremely pleasant to work with. He was quick to respond to all of our needs and concerns. Rob ensured that this experience was completely stress free for our family. We look forward to working with him again.

I recently experienced what could have been an extremely stressful situation...the sale of my 95 plus parent’s home. Thanks to Rob Manuel, the sale went more smoothly than I could have imagined. From start to finish, Rob was caring, concerned, and above all honest and professional. He came up with a fair asking price and that’s exactly what the house sold for! When we were faced with multiple offers, Rob’s advice was flawless and most of all,respectful. Mindful of my parents age and stage of life, he made sure that they were alway an integral part of the process. Rob was always available, whether it meant acting as a liaison, answering questions or just to touch base, which is pretty unheard of these days. So, if your looking to buy or sell a house minus the added hassles and angst, Rob Manuel should be your first call.

Rob was incredibly thoughtful and patient during the home search. He always had our best interests in mind. Being a local, Rob had tremendous insight into the area. We love our new home!

Tom DiFusco was extremely helpful in getting me the home (CO-OP) I wanted. He's very knowledgeable of the area and has great communication skills. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for their next home.

Michael Karlan was an excellent broker to work with. He sold my 91 year old mother's house for us. She had been living there for 53 years. It was a very emotional time for us and Michael was very sensitive to our needs. It was a smooth process and we felt we knew what was going on at all times. He is very trustworthy and I would recommend him to anyone in the area looking for a broker

Cheryl was awesome to work with. Super responsive to all of our requests and always made me feel like her #1 client (even though I KNOW I was probably the most annoying one she had). She sold our condo over asking in one weekend. Our home search took much longer but she was with us every step of the way. Would definitely work with her again and will recommend to everyone we know.

Cheryl came to us highly recommended by my sister and brother-in-law who also bought a home with Cheryl's help and were very happy. Thanks to Cheryl buying our home was a truly enjoyable experience. She listened to our needs and didn't push us towards anything that wasn't right for us and in this competitive market, made sure we found our forever home. Thanks so much to Cheryl, we couldn't have done it without her!

Tom is a caring and dedicated professional who went out of his way to help find the right home for me. He was responsive throughout the process and kept my best interests in mind at all times. Tom is knowledgeable, honest, genuine, and reliable.

Leigh helped my fiancé and I find, and eventually own our dream home! She is very kind, knowledgeable and a go getter! Even with dealing with the Covid 19 pandemic, Leigh made sure everything was done safely and healthy. She really knows what she is doing and we recommend anyone who is buying a home to contact Leigh. She will not disappoint! Best of the best!

Michael sold my house within a month of it going on the market. He was aggressive in showing the house via private appointments and open houses, and negotiated a very good price with what we hoped would be a quick closing. Unfortunately the purchase/closing was caught up in the COVID pandemic, but Michael was with me all the way, navigating options and helping me to decide what to do. He gave me an incredible amount of support throughout.

Michael worked with us to but our home in Rockville Centre. He was incredibly helpful to us and very responsive through the whole process. Buying a home during the pandemic created new obstacles that we didn’t anticipate and Michael easily adapted to ensure that everything still went through as planned. He was a great asset to us!

Michael was an amazing realtor. He was honest and open about the negatives of our current home and also was prompt to getting back to us on inquiries which required follow up. He managed the timeline exceptionally and consistently remained professional throughout my closing process. Thanks Mike! -Dom and Schen Gowdie

Michael Karlen was absolutely great from the first phone call to the closing of our new home. Michael was dependable, reassuring and knowledgable. He made the home buying process seem more manageable.... and did it with a high level of professionalism. Michael was a calming force during a very hectic time. He was always easy to reach and always returned our phone calls in a timely manner. Michael was the best and easiest part of this process and we appreciate his great efforts! Thanks Michael Karlen!

Leigh was very knowledgeable, helpful and patient throughout the process of looking for homes, all the way through until closing. Buying a home can be a stressful process, and she always made me feel at ease. Highly recommend!

Leah Villegas, she helped us with buying our house now our HOME. It’s really a bumpy road journey but she made it smooth sailing as much as possible. She communicates well, very well. She answers all our questions, concerns and worries (of course for a first time buyer) She made the house viewing/hunting very organized and point to point. We finish viewing houses atleast 3 hours or less in a day (distance wise/area and location). I highly recommend her, she offers great service. She have great referrals. Surely a one stop shop! She’ll help you regardless, in any way. Thank you so much, Leah! ??

Leah is the best! She was thorough and professional and great to work with. She kept us apprised about available appointments and always let us know as soon as a new house came on the market. She was honest and forthright- no games. She was available to answer any questions I had 24/7. She has responded within minutes, sometimes even seconds. Her advice and support through closing were invaluable. After dealing with a few other brokers in the Long Island area and being disappointed, we felt lucky to find Leah. I’ll definitely reach out to Leah in the future, and I recommend her to all my friends and family!

We dealt with Michael Karlen and were VERY happy. He was a real professional! Always on time, always prepared for every showing. He was able to get us the asking price, and we had a wonderful relationship. He insisted all potential buyers had to wear masks and gloves and only he could open closet doors. Very comforting to a seller during Covid. Because of Michael we weren’t very stressed out and that’s unusual when one is selling a house. All in all it was a very positive experience!

Excellent job! Very helpful through the entire process. Extremely responsive and hard working. It was great working with Michael. I would highly recommend.

Would give 10 stars if I could. Our third time going through the Dew Loren Team. Wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. Not only are they the most knowledgeable, and bright; but patient, kind, educational, and of the strongest moral and ethical manner. Highly recommend anyone buying or selling to go through the Drew Loren Team. As I’ve said, we have gone though this team three times and each and every time our experience has been flawless.

Leah was very professional and was able to find us place for rent very quickly and exactly what we wanted fitting our budget. I highly recommend Leah to anyone weather you are looking to buy or rent.

Leigh was amazing . She was professional , always there to answer any questions we had and made the search for a house not so stressful. (She still answers questions we have to this day ) She made me feel very comfortable and ended up finding us our first home. I would highly recommend her.

Couldn’t be happier the Real Estate services provided by Leigh Mercuri. We were able to find our dream home. She was there every step of the way and made the process very easy. I would highly recommebd her if yky are looking to buy or sell real estate.

I couldn’t ask for more in a broker. Mike is the best to work with. He gives you all the time and attention you need until you find the right home. I recommend him 100%. Thanks Mike.

We had the pleasure of working with Michael Karlen, and he was professional and forthright throughout the entire experience. Michael was incredibly patient as we navigated this volatile market to land on a home that we are incredibly satisfied with.

Leah sold our coop and helped us buy our new home, while providing outstanding service. I appreciate the time she took out to answer all our questions, no matter how big or small. Leah was responsive around the clock, responding to texts or calls (even on weekends). She was engaged, informative, perceptive, patient, thorough, and personable. I felt we were always in good hands - She did a phenomenal job from start to close, providing expert advice and great customer service. My family and I are glad we worked with Leah and would definitely recommend.

Michael went above and beyond during the time we spent looking for my home. In the 8 months of searching, he took all opportunities to see what might work for me. After highlighting several towns on Long Island, Michael found my house, got me an appointment the first day it was on the market and with Michael's negotiating powers, it allowed me to WIN the bid on my house. Needless to say, I COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT HIM. Michael Karlen of the Drew Loren Team is a dedicated professional, who shines in his career. Thank you Michael.

Not only did I purchase my home in 2012 with them but they sold my home 10 years later! They sold our home for more than we anticipated and faster than we could have imagined! They were a pleasure to work with! We highly recommend!

Tom DiFusco sold our apartment in less than 3 weeks;He gave us good advice on staging the apartment before the sale. He handled several problems including finding a company to dispose of our furniture and closet remains.He made several trips a local hardware store to correct minor flaws the buyer noticed after the deposit was given and when we were no longer in New York Tom DiFusco is a responsible,honorable fellow who did a wonderful job for me in the stressful situation of leaving a home of 20 years.

Effective, Supportive and Kind - The Whole Package Effective - In this complex market, the most important element of performance (to us) is the ability to execute. Despite having to dodge tons of wrenches (lots of complications with the sale), Michael helped us get across the finish line with an optimal price / outcome. Supportive - We required help with every step of the selling process and Michael was right there with great ideas and solid recommendations. Kind - This may be less important to others, but it was mission critical to us… Michael was a true pleasure to work with.

Wonderful, accessible, responsive... Terrific team that we would highly recommend. Understood what we needed and helped us every step of the way. Excellent experience.

It has been our great good fortune to have Rob Manel of the Drew Loren Team take care of our real estate needs. I first met Rob in 2012 when he helped us sell our home in Long Beach. He did a fantastic job and we were extremely pleased with his professional and caring manner. From start to finish I knew we were in good hands. Which is why, when we recently needed to sell my Aunt’s home in Queens, I did not hesitate to contact Rob. It was really a wonderful experience to work him. Along with his excellent knowledge and guidance, it was a true pleasure to be in contact with him. He was patient, thoughtful and supportive. It was a complicated situation that made me feel stressed and Rob was always available to assure me with his skill and kindness. I am very grateful to have had the benefit of his expertise and good will. I highly recommend Rob for all of your real estate needs, you will be very happy with the results.

Michael was thorough, very knowledgeable, polite and a true professional.. He was also most helpful referring a real estate lawyer and moving company. I highly recommend Michael. Ralph M.

Michael and his team were great. They were so hands-on with selling my mothers house as I live in New Jersey and the house we were selling is in Long Island they took care of everything and were always there when I needed them I highly recommend them

Tom is accommodating and professional. He made every moment of our sale as stress free as possible. He is always available to answer all questions and he goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy with the process and results.

Micheal was the best. He was really on our side through out our long process of finding the right home. It never felt like we were pressure into anything we didn't want and he's just a lot of fun to see houses with!

I cannot say enough good things about Tom. His communication through the entire process was outstanding. He was able to show the home on a schedule that worked for us and showed a genuine interest in selling our home and not just to make the sale. I would recommend him to everyone.

Michael did an outstanding job in selling our house. His online description of it revealed the lovely house that it is and I believe it attracted a potential buyer immediately. The day it went on the market, a couple came to see it & the next day said they wanted it at our price. Although the buyers & their lawyer made the closing difficult, Micheal was always professional & honest in his dealings with them and kept us informed every step of the way. In many instances, he went out of his way for us. He is the consummate realtor and if we had another house to sell, we would only use Michael to represent us.

Michael did a great job in marketing of my home and achieving a sale price higher than I thought we would ever get. He helped make a very painful process for me a lot smoother. I definitely would use them again if I purchase a home.

Tom was extremely professional at every step of the process. Extremely knowledgeable and although they were just predictions, most things played out just as he predicted. Would Highly recommend! P.S He even took care of our dog when showing the house.

We had an excellent experience working with Leah during the purchase of our home. From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right place. Buying a home can be stressful, but Leah made the entire process feel smooth and manageable by always being available to answer questions, explain details clearly, and advocate for us every step of the way. What stood out most was her professionalism, patience, and attention to detail. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and never pressured us into making a decision. When it came time to negotiate and close, her expertise and guidance gave us a lot of confidence. We’re incredibly grateful for all of her help and would highly recommend Leah to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Working with her was a fantastic experience.
