ABOUT OUR FOUNDER
Steven Gelber began his real estate career in 1984, while at UCLA, with Helmsley-Spear of California, Inc., part of one of the largest commercial real estate companies in the world at that time, Helmsley-Spear Inc. While at Helmsley-Spear, Steven and his affiliates were responsible for the sales, leasing and management of an estimated seven billion dollars in real estate nationally. In 1991 Steven founded Gelber Realty Corporation as a full service commercial real estate brokerage company. Over the years, many of his commercial clients asked for assistance in the disposition and acquisition of their residential properties as well. In response to these requests, Steven founded Westside Realty Partners in 2013.
In his spare time Steven enjoys surfing, snowboarding, travel and yoga. Steven has three sons and currently resides in the Pacific Palisades.
Karen Kaminskas is a true native of Los Angeles and has lived in many areas, from Silver Lake to Pacific Palisades, where her mom was a successful real estate agent. After graduating from UCLA, Karen moved to the South Bay to raise a family and began investing in income properties and renovating homes. Eventually the mountain-ocean lifestyle of the west side drew her back to Pacific Palisades, where she resides today.
With a great eye for design and often hidden potential, Karen truly loves helping clients find their perfect home. And for those who are new to the area "I can't wait to help them understand what makes their new community so special!"
Aside from real estate, Karen is passionate about great healthy food, hiking, yoga and surf-travel or any outdoor adventure with her family.
