Beth is not only an amazing realtor, with great experience in the field, knowledge in the area (she…read moreis a neighbor), and a great amount of contacts, independently of her professional expertise, she is one of the kindest persons we have met in the USA. She takes care of your needs and wishes giving suggestions and removing options that cannot match what you need even when in the long run she may lose a bit. We had a problem with our original lender and when we were ready to cancel the process she helped us finding an amazing lender that solved the problem in 1/3 of the time. Has been a pleasure to meet her and make business with her, and of course I'd recommend to work with Beth.

I have worked with several realtors (buying and selling) in the last few years and my experience…read morewith Janine has been the best by far. If I need to buy/sell again in the area, she will absolutely be the one I call and the one I recommend to friends and family. I chose Janine based on her reviews, experience and expertise with high end new construction, and a phone conversation and I feel like I lucked out. She is absolutely lovely to work with, very knowledgeable, responsive and helpful, and goes above and beyond at every step to make the house hunting process as painless and enjoyable as possible. She was honest about pros and cons for each property we saw and listened to my concerns and figured out what I would like or not very quickly. Janine also did a really nice job negotiating on my behalf, a very important quality for me. She had a professional relationship with the builders/sellers of the house I bought and I was initially not sure if that would present an issue. But it was not a problem at all. At every step, she was on my side and advocating on my behalf. Indeed, her knowing the builders only helped because she was able to smooth things over even when things got stressful as we neared closing. She frequently also helped with things that most realtors would not ordinarily do - researching the best generator for the house, figuring out what kind of faucet we needed, etc. My assigned lawyer was less than responsive so Janine even helped guide me through things he should have. Even on the final walkthrough, she was pointing things out and taking notes for me. Above and beyond at every step!

If I could provide ten stars for Janine Rose, I'd easily do that. Janine has represented us in…read moremultiple real estate transactions in New Jersey, and she has also served as a professional advisor in the states of Connecticut and New York. Janine's dedication to her clients and their families, both personally and professionally, speaks volumes. Whether you're one of her numerous high-end listings, or even one of her more economical properties, Janine treats all of her clients with integrity and thoughtfulness. She is transparent throughout the process, which enabled us to feel comfortable and at ease in both buying and selling transactions. Furthermore, Janine's network of other brokers provides her with an extensive array of contacts that add further value during the proceedings. Janine's deft negotiation skills always made our family feel as though we had a "pro" in our corner, and her commitment to the dynamic marketing of our home throughout the selling process enabled us to sell much quicker than expected, while maintaining the home's value. Selecting Janine Rose to represent you in either a purchase, sale, or rental relationship will prove to be advantageous for you, and will make the process seamless for all.

After selling my home in Michigan I booked a several-month Airbnb stay in the NYC area and…read morecommenced my search for a new home. After a lengthy conversation with a realtor who was recommended by a friend, I received a list of coop apartments and condos to review. I felt he hadn't listened to anything I was saying. Several days later I saw a listing online for an apartment in Astoria that was offered by Horowitz Real Estate. Peter Horowitz promptly arranged a time to show me that apartment as well as a 2-bedroom apartment that had just become available in Astoria. I knew immediately this apartment was the apartment for me. My 32 year-old son accompanied me to the showing and commented afterwards how personable and transparent Peter was. Although I was unfamiliar with the New York real estate process and coop procedures in general, Peter assured me he would offer any help I needed and he definitely kept his word. He recommended an attorney who was not only extremely competent and personable but very reasonable in his fees by NY standards. During the final walk-through Peter offered and then provided a final cleaning after I noted that although the apartment was very clean, the inside of the windows and sills could use an extra wipe-down. I am looking forward to settling into my wonderful Astoria apartment and am grateful in every way for the services that the entire Horowitz Real Estate team provided.

They are quite the hidden gem in Astoria and would…read moretotally recommend if you're looking for quality real estate brokers/salespeople to assist you in finding your new home. Stefan is one of the most genuine real estate brokers I've worked with. Most salespeople I've worked with are very sales-driven and often overlook their client's needs just to make a sale and move on to the next client, but my experience with Stefan was entirely very different. Purchasing a co-op can be a very arduous and vague process which can get easily frustrating for any first-time homebuyer. Stefan outlined expectations early on in our working relationship and was very transparent with the home-buying process. He also kept me informed every step of the way. He was patient, supportive, timely responsive and incredibly diligent. His demeanor on the job was a true reflection of how passionate he is about his job, and that he always has his client's best interest at heart. It's a quality rarely seen by salespersons in NYC nowadays and one that is highly admirable and respectable in my books. I am privileged to have worked with Stefan and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy/sell real estate in NYC.

But my fears, while well-founded, turned out to be unnecessary, thanks to Kate and her company: Metropolitan Property Group. The entire process was easy, and I found everything I was looking for in NYC. Kate was great! She and I toured New York to see different apartments in almost every neighborhood. I got the apartment I wanted in the neighborhood I wanted. The process was easy, Kate always made time for me, and even when she couldn't, her colleagues were there to help. After I picked my unit, she guided me through the complicated paperwork with ease. I could not have done it without her! She was attentive, thorough and incredibly patient. Her work was impeccable, definitely a recommend if you are out of state, especially if you are international. Kate is a great first contact to settle into the Big Apple. Anything less? In THIS city?? Would be a mistake.

After a year of looking to buy, Jen was instrumental in helping us become first time home owners (also in Short Hills.) Jen was always there when we needed her. She of course works with countless other families but she made us feel like we were her only client. She always picks up her phone day, night, weekends, holidays. She goes above & beyond in terms of making herself available. She never makes you feel like you are bothering her. We had never closed on a house before and she made this daunting process seem easy by giving us referrals and holding our hands throughout the process. We trusted her and she guided us through some truly stressful moments. I'd recommend her highly to anyone considering buying in the area.

She made what could have been a stressful situation easy and painless - from walking us through the selling process, to taking us to tour multiple homes until we found the one that was perfect, at which time Jen helped us nab it quickly! I highly recommend Jen to anyone who is either buying or selling - or both! She knows the market inside and out and will be there for you every step of the way.

I contacted Welcome Home Real Estate recently and explained my situation; the fact that I was…read moreseeking a studio apartment in Sunnyside for my son who has a poor credit rating but that I would be the guarantor and live out of state. The person I spoke with was super professional, straight speaking but kind, and took her time with me. Her advice however was really discouraging and quite absolute - I was so depressed after getting off the phone with her- she suggested that I might look for a room for him to rent somewhere because with a budget of $2,000 and low credit on his part; that no one would really want to work with that profile or mine as an out of state guarantor. Merely 12 days later, he is now set up with a lovely studio in a nice building, one block from the train in Sunnyside for $2,100. The moral of this story is as "professional" as the professionals may be, consult more than one. Some are more open, more nuanced, more willing to find solutions and more apt to think creatively than others. Find the individual realtor and the real estate firm that best fits your outlook.

If you're unfamiliar with the model, these guys act as your (the buyer's) agent. They help you schedule property viewings, attend these scheduled viewings with you, provide guidance about the market and properties you're considering, and do all the typical things buyer's agents do. About the only thing they don't do is hand-hold you on finding properties in NYC- but that's what StreetEasy is for! And in the end, the best part is you get to share in their commission on the backend! What?! Yes, like thousands of dollars, right at closing... Besides actually closing, for us this was the best part of the whole home buying experience in NYC. So... if you actually need hand-holding or don't want to use StreetEasy, then this isn't for you. But for most of us this is a superior model. I highly recommend The Burkhardt Group if you're buying a place in NYC.
