Testimonials

Testimonial from Amy S.

Sean is a truly outstanding professional. We did not know anything about the process for renting an apartment in NYC and he walked us through every single aspect with knowledge and patience for our many questions. He toured apartments on our behalf (we are from out-of-town), sent us videos of the surrounding neighborhoods, and helped us to communicate with the listing agents and property managers in an incredibly efficient and effective way. We are so delighted with the results of our search and could not recommend Sean more highly. We have already referred friends to Sean who are in similar searches and we would absolutely employ him again!! Enormous thanks, Sean!!!!

Testimonial from Christine C.

Sean made our first home buying experience much easier. He took the time to make sure we understood the whole process and was calm and patient with all of our crazy questions. He is an exceptional communicator and always makes sure you are happy and above all comfortable. He literally held my toddler’s hand during a walk thru. He’s a class act.

Testimonial from Peter M.

Good communicator, attentive, timely follow-up, clear, trust-worthy, even-keeled, the right demeanor for the transaction – appreciate his expertise and suggestions through the process – I highly recommend Sean for future business.

Testimonial from Yo S.

Sean went above and beyond my expectations in helping my home search. Initially I also worked with other agents, but having realized soon after how Sean was several notches above in terms of the quality of service, I switched to working exclusively with him. Sean is super-organized, responsive, kind, thorough, professional and personable. Not only he is knowledgeable about the market and locality, but he is also super-organized, resourceful, and proactive in helping his clients. He helped me sort out my home search by providing and managing an ongoing list of properties that fit my expectations and capabilities. He is impeccably professional and genuinely supportive. Due solely to changes in my situation I have put a pause in my search, but I know that Sean will be the person I will call when I restart the search–I cannot imagine working with a better agent than Sean!

Testimonial from Tiffany G.

Sean came recommended to me through a friend, and as a first time home buyer I could not have asked for a better realtor than Sean! There are many praises I could sing about Sean, but these are the top three reasons: 1. Knowledgeable: As a first time home-buyer, Sean walked me through everything I needed to know about buying in NYC – the many phases in the process, the requirements/paperwork/people needed, the pros and cons of buying condo vs co-op, coached me through my board interview, and patiently answered the same questions over and over ?? 2. Attention to detail: Sean was able to help me figure out what I wanted in a masterful way. When we started, I didn’t know what neighborhood I really wanted to be in…or even what kind of apartment I wanted. As reflect back on the process of looking at listings I realize he was quietly and expertly figuring out my taste and what I was gravitating toward before I had even realized it. He found me the place that checked every box on my list of requirements. 3. Supportive: The process of buying and selling is not easy and can often be intimidating- Sean was there every step of the way. He was level-headed, honest, calm, and positive when the times got tough or stressful. At every phase of the process, I felt like I had someone in my corner who was really fighting for my best interests. And last but certainly not least, you are the company you keep – buying/selling takes a village and I was so lucky that everyone Sean recommended to me was just as professional, knowledgeable, and kind as he is. I am so grateful to have found the home I did with Sean’s expertise and partnership. I cannot recommend Sean highly enough and I look forward to working with him again in the future!

Testimonial from Austin P.

First class agent in all respects. Extremely responsive, goes above and beyond for any need, whether requested or inferred. Even after closing, he’s checked in and made contacts on my behalf. I cannot recommend Sean enough!

Testimonial from Kevin O.

Sean was an absolute pleasure as my agent. He was organized, diligent, responsive, and knowledgeable. Most important, he was patient. I worked with Sean for almost one year until I found the right home. In that time we saw at least 30 homes. He walked me through the inspection and negotiation process and was very resourceful when I needed recommendations for lenders, attorneys, inspectors and any other element that I needed to get the deal done. I highly recommend working with Sean.

Testimonial from Jorge G.

I live in Hong Kong and in early 2021 I was looking to buy an apartment in NYC, one of my closest friend recommended Sean. COVID travel restrictions made it nearly impossible for me to travel from Hong Kong to NYC to view any apartments. Sean was my eyes and ears, he personally went to view every apartment that I was interested in, from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Sean also kept detailed spreadsheets with details of all listings, making it easy to rank and decide which listing to make an offer. I Was able to find an apartment with great value that I am now leasing (with Sean’s help).

Testimonial from Tony C.

Sean and his team are great. During the entire process, Sean was very responsive, organized and professional. He totally looked out for his clients and did a great job negotiating with the seller side. He guided me through the process very well and was patient with all challenges. I felt well informed and confident about his expertise. I would recommend him to any home buyers.

Testimonial from Nelly R.

Sean was incredible!!! He was my agent that helped me find an apartment in upper nyc in literally under a week. Each place we saw met my criteria, he knew about the area and transportation. He also was a great advocate for me in working through negotiations and got me a great deal. I would 100% use him again if I were to move.

3.15.21
Testimonial from Jeffery F.

Bought a Condo home in 2021 in Park slope, Brooklyn, NY.

We were on the hunt for an apartment for over 6 months and Sean could not have been more patient with us throughout the process. Despite all the pivots in our search, Sean continuously joined us in exploring new neighborhoods, educated us in the process and never pressured us into making a decision that wasn’t right for us. Furthermore, Sean is definitely the agent you want representing you at closing.

2.10.21
Testimonial from Cait T.

Helped me rent a Multiple Occupancy home in Long island city, Long island city, NY.

Sean was a great help in our apartment search and signing process, which for us was less than a week! He was extremely responsive from the moment we contacted him and was a great resource for all of our questions throughout. We were able to sign for a great apartment at an even better deal.

12.14.20
Testimonial from Paula L.

My boyfriend and I were looking for our next place, and let’s just say that looking for apartments from a distance due to COVID-19 and not being in NYC wasn’t necessarily what we had in mind for an ideal search. But thanks to Sean’s amazing help, we were able to find a great deal in a wonderful building and we have no doubt that it’s the perfect place for us. He was very patient and shared very detailed videos of the units to make sure we had everything to make our decision. He negotiated for us and followed up to make sure the building got back to us and ensured a very smooth and clear application process. A lot of the listings and inquiries we had were very vague at times, so it was refreshing to have someone so thoughtful and helpful guide us through this journey. 10/10 recommend!

12.6.20
Testimonial from Tom M.

I cannot recommend Sean enough! I found him through a public listing and although it did not work out with that specific unit, Sean extended his services and offered to help me find another apartment in an area I was looking to move to. Sean was very patient with me throughout the entire process (I was very nervous and had a lot of questions). Sean always made himself available for viewings and followed up with me quickly via text, email, or a phone call. He never pushed me towards making any decisions, I liked that Sean allowed me to work at my own pace. I will consider him again in the future should I decide to move!

10.19.20
Testimonial from Daniel V.

Sean was by far the most helpful, responsive, knowledgeable and kind realtor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. This was not my first home purchase and I’ve Delt with some realtors who were awful/did not care, but not Sean. He made things so easy for me and continuously answered my questions promptly and got me all the answers and even made sure he was there when it was time to get my new keys. I will definitely recommend Sean Adu-Gyamfi to all of my friends and family looking for a new home or investment. Could not ask for more in a real estate agent, Thank you so much Sean.

2.18.19
Testimonial from Suze S.

Sean is a very pleasant person. He understood right away what type of apartment I wanted and thus showed me only those that met my requirements. He didn’t waste my time which was perfect knowing that I had limited time to find something. He is a very organized person (he showed list of apartments on excel with all the details). He is very responsive.

9.21.18
Testimonial from Dianna B.

Helped me rent a Multiple Occupancy home in Upper east side, New york, NY.

Sean was patient with me as I was from out of town and he was very enthusiastic during the whole process. I will definitely use Sean again in the future and would recommend him for anyone looking for a positive experience in their real estate endeavors

6.25.18
Testimonial from Hadia S.

Sean was a wonderful person to work with during my search for a new place in Manhattan. He has a very positive attitude (w/ a good sense or humor!) and is very professional, which is key for the process (given that it can take a while before you find a great place, you definitely want to work with someone you’d like to spend a few hours walking around Manhattan with, especially in less than perfect weather!). He was mindful of only showing me places that would be of interest and were in my budget (and ensuring I got to see a variety of places, and without any pressure to commit to anything unless it was what I was looking for) and he was great with following up via email/text and always punctual for our meetings. I would highly recommend contacting him for your search!

6.16.18
Testimonial from Farouk A.

I was nervous and overwhelmed about moving to Brooklyn as there are so many things to consider when moving to a big city. After experiencing Sean’s level of professionalism, general knowledge of the city, and laid-back attitude, I felt much more at ease. I have been telling everyone I can about Sean since and will continue to. If you’re looking for a real estate agent, your search is over!

6.15.18
Testimonial from Hakeem A.

Sean seemed extremely knowledgeable but at the same time spoke in a way that was easy to relate to and made me feel comfortable. You can tell he puts in the work. Between his professionalism and easy going yet diligent nature, I would definitely recommend his services

5.22.18
Testimonial from Kayla M.

Sean made finding an apartment for me and my roommate super easy. He was consistent, reliable and didn’t mind answering any of our questions. He even sent pictures and videos of our potential apartments when we couldn’t make it to NYC because of a snowstorm.
