Just a couple of days ago we closed on our first-ever home, an apartment in Hoboken. And we absolutely would not have been able to become happy owners of a place that is perfect for us without Farah. Every step of the way, from looking for a place to closing, she was engaged, caring, supportive, and patient (which, I think, is especially important for first time buyers but is a great asset in any process). She knows the market like the back of her hand: any building you name, she will tell you all about it. She was able to negotiate a great price for us (and just to give you an idea of how well she will take care of you, because of the timing, she had to do this during her vacation). Another way in which Farah was invaluable, helping us assemble the full team (mortgage broker, attorney, and anyone else we needed, all the way to movers and contractors). I love every single person she reco…

Another way in which Farah was invaluable, helping us assemble the full team (mortgage broker, attorney, and anyone else we needed, all the way to movers and contractors). I love every single person she recommended. (And a disclaimer: I am not the easiest person to please.) I absolutely will recommend Farah to all of my friends as well as anyone who wants to find the home of their dreams, at the best possible price, with someone caring and knowledgeable holding their hand along the way. And if we ever decide to do this again, Farah is the only person I would ask to help. For now, I will just look around our new home and thank her daily.
We worked with quite a few real estate agents in the past, but none of them could measure up to Ken DeGrave! Throughout the entire time of working with Ken, he listened attentively to all our questions, ideas, and concerns, and always came up with answers and strategies which were invaluable in getting us the best deal possible. His guidance continuously revealed Ken’s deep understanding of the housing market, including an uncommon insight into the specifics of different neighborhoods. His partnership with us also revealed an amazing ability and tact to navigate the complex regulations and requirements of the local town hall. Ken is a very dynamic, engaged professional. He does not merely wait for things to happen, he makes things happen! It would take a lot of searching around and a lot of luck to find a real estate agent to match Ken’s knowledge, connections in the industry, wonderful …

Brian is a class act from start to finish and I think he is best described by how he makes his customers feel. When Elizabeth and I were looking for her perfect condo, Brian was a pillar of stability and guidance during a stressful process. I think that Brian would self-describe as part Realtor® and part counselor and he is equally skilled in both. His professional acumen is supported by his caring supportiveness even beyond the end of the signing process. In the end, I would say the most important thing to look for in a Realtor® is someone who makes you feel valued and Brian is the epitome of that ideal. You won't regret your decision and Elizabeth and I will certainly be using him again when we look for our forever home in the future!
Andrew knows just what to say and when to say it. We absolutely couldn't complete our house purchase without him. Thank you, Andrew! Andrew showed us multiple properties. Each time, he came a bit earlier to take the first pick. So when we entered the property together, he already knew everything and anything about the house. He is just a pro on his level! But the most amazing thing about this person is when you call him. Because he just picks up. He will tell you that: he is with his girlfriend, in a restaurant, on vacation, or at an important meeting, but never the less he will pick up, talk to you, and help you with whatever you need. We were fortunate to work with Andrew.
