We worked with Joy to purchase our Brooklyn Apartment and it was a wonderful experience! As a native New Yorker and a Brooklyn resident – Joy knows the neighborhoods and the options available across multiple price points. Joy really listened to what we wanted and utilized her depth of knowledge to find appropriate options and ensure our time looking at apartments was well spent. Once we were in the contracting process, Joy’s calm demeaner ensured we were never nervous. Joy navigated the ups and downs of the buying process with ease and ensured our positions were met and appropriate negotiations were completed with the sellers and attorneys. I would highly recommend that anyone interested in purchasing a home in NYC contact Joy – both the experience and the outcomes are top notch!
Karen did a great job helping me to find my first home. As a first time homebuyer she helped to guide my research and efforts. helping to alleviate as much stress from the home buying process as possible. She reassured me when I was unsure and made sure that my decisions aligned with my original goals (cutting out the unnecessary noise) We talked through questions to ask professionals so that I had full clarity on certain subjects and strongly encouraged / coached me to negotiate for what I wanted I completed the home buying process feeling like the negotiations were fair and that was mainly due to Karen’s coaching and diligence. I really appreciated having her on my team as she embodies the full characteristics of a great realtor.
We chose Ellen Sykes to sell our apartment for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was she was the seller’s broker when we bought it. From the moment we contacted her, Ellen was professional and clear in all of her communications and dealings. She suggested ideas to “declutter” the apartment which we followed to the letter. She worked tirelessly on our behalf with open houses and showings continuously. When the right buyer came along, the board package and closing went without a hitch. It was the first time ever that I have happily handed over a broker’s check for work done. Our apartment did not sell itself: Ellen sold it for us.
Lisa is amazing! We bought and sold apartments in the West Village and the Upper West Side with her, and she was incredible at every step of the way. She is patient – we never felt pressured – and remained calm during the (many!!) stressful moments of each transaction. We had to complete an extensive board package for one of the apartments, and she guided us through the process seamlessly. She is also incredibly knowledgeable about NYC. as she’s a born and bred New Yorker (we used to joke that she’s like the mayor, since she knows practically everyone when she walks down the street!). We could not recommend her more highly!
Lisa is an outstanding broker. We could not recommend her more highly. Lisa has a wealth of knowledge on NYC real-estate. She is a native New Yorker and truly knows the ins-and-outs of every neighborhood and building. She found us an apartment that was precisely what we were looking for and was a joy to work with. Lisa is the best!
