KZA Realty Group, a commercial real estate agency based in the Bronx, has recently welcomed Westchester County-based Karen Mayo as the newest sales member to its team.
Mayo’s passion for real estate began with her role at SLH Mortgage, where she served as one of the company’s top senior loan officers. In her role, she gathered valuable insight to the home loan process by getting first-hand experience processing underwriting documents. That, along with her natural aptitude for aiding clients, propelled her to being one of the company’s top 10 loan officers for two years in a row.
Shortly after, she accepted a role as a Home Mortgage Consultant for Wells Fargo where she continued to oversee all facets of the home-loan process. During this time, she realized the importance of tailoring her products to the financial profiles of her clients, and soon developed a system that identified their long-term goals and matched them with the best home loan option. This system allowed her to specialize as a Private Mortgage Banker for Home Savings of America, where she educated high status clients on solutions to purchase or refinance the home of their dreams. In 2011, Mayo decided to pursue other facets of the real estate market by becoming an Assistant Office and Project Manager for a construction company. She became a licensed real estate Agent in 2013, where she showed residential properties and successfully advised homebuyers on purchase procedures for the next seven years.
