We have been in a particularly difficult situation, having moved from Denmark to New York with an 18 month old baby, in the holiday season.  At times the trips (to see apartments) were very demanding, in rain, snowstorms and windy weather; throughout the two weeks, Mr. Splendore kept on encouraging us and we felt very grateful indeed for his all the positive energy surrounding him. He must have shown us at least 20 apartments, not to mention his online research.

I am writing this letter to express my utter satisfaction with the way your associate, Mr. Gerard Splendore has handled our apartment search and managed to successfully place us in our new home.   Mr. Splendore was extremely easy to talk to and communicate with from the very first time we met him; he has shown a deep interest in our concerns, and has proven to be a great listener, at the same time successful in helping us with the property market in all parts of Brookyn.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you for Gerard’s services.  He was exceptionally professional and found the exact apartment I was looking for.

A Realtor with any major realty firm should be expected to provide impressive personal service based on extensive professional experience, market savvy, and range of contacts. Qualifications which are all the more essential in attracting ideally eligible prospective buyers subject to the approval of a particularly stringent co-op board in midtown Manhattan. But especially critical at such an extraordinary economic time challenged by inflation not seen in decades directly following the worst global pandemic in a century.

All of which is exactly why Andrea Wernick has proven truly indispensable in every respect without question. As a longtime resident at Plaza 400 herself, she is most familiar with both the building as well as the board and its requirements and expectations to ensure a successful sale process. Despite one of the worst real estate markets in years, Andrea and her team persisted over several months that could have well turned out far longer if not for the best possible buyer fortunately appearing with an offer which the board ultimately accepted.

But equally valuable before even showing the two bedroom apartment were Andrea’s referrals to other pros also experienced with preparing many others in the building for sale. First, an antiques and estate specialist who purchased all the art and much of the furniture and furnishings. Since the next owner would be certain to invest in a complete renovation, that cleared the way for Andrea’s recommended contractor to strip wallpaper from most of the walls before painting them presentably white and then pulling up all the wall-to-wall carpeting to reveal the original perfectly preserved parquet wood flooring – all finished in just four days at a very reasonable cost. And to close the sale finally, Andrea even had an attorney who had similarly worked with prior sellers in the building to ensure a smooth and straightforward transaction.
