I met Chris Lipman by chance when I was just beginning to glance through the Manhattan real estate…read moreads and Chris was advertising an apartment for sale on the Upper West Side. I called him to find out the details, but told him that I wasn't ready to buy yet - our house wasn't even on the market at that time - and I just wanted to familiarize myself with the market. Chris was so pleasant on the phone and so willing to work with me that we made an appointment to look at some apartments. This was over two years ago in the beginning of 2012. Chris patiently took me out looking at apartments every month or so until we both had a good idea of what my husband and I were looking for. We put our house on the market and found a buyer for it earlier this year (2014). And at the same time Chris found what turned out to be our next home. I remember the day he showed me the listing - it was in Murray Hill, a different neighborhood than we were looking at that day and I was tired and didn't pay much attention to it. But Chris insisted that my husband and I would love it (wrap around terrace with beautiful views) so we finally went to see it. He was right and we closed on our purchase last month!

I have the money I need to resolve family issues because I was able to get the best price for the 3.4 carat Asscher-cut diamond ring I loved and had to part with. Selling was a sad moment for me, but here's the good part. I now have a gorgeous replica, the exact size, cut and weight of the original. Plus I know that my ring, originally purchased in 1923 for my mother-in-law, has found a good home. Adam was responsible for this series of events, offering the highest price for my diamond. I know this for a fact because I researched diamond values online for days. I also visited the most prestigious diamond merchants in Manhattan to compare pricing. I even became a member of the Geological Institute of America in order to have my ring evaluated by experts. Hands down, Adam's price was right on target, and the deal was done. Sensing my loss after selling the ring, Adam had an identical cubic zirconia replacement stone made from the original measurements at his own expense. What seller does this? It was hard to believe, but true. And being the perfectionist he is, Adam rejected the diamond cutter's initial attempts to simulate my stone until he was satisfied the replacement was perfect. For me, selling a ring and getting it back was THE perfect transaction--as close as it gets to having it all. R.S.

The resulting product of this was a very attractive proposal for the sale of my beautiful apartment, which was evident from the photos and the placement of objects and decorative elements proposed by Eyal. Most importantly, his keen negotiating tactics to bring the sale to a successful closing were key in the resulting short period of time that the whole process transpired. Eyal always made sure to schedule abundant open houses and private viewings to ensure that the apartment was getting sufficient attention and exposure. He also always kept me informed of any new steps and appointments regarding these. He effectively managed any issues, and when the first offer of sale fell through by the first buyer, Eyal was able to quickly re-market the apartment and find a more appropriate buyer that was interested in closing the sale on an aggressive timeline that suited me best. He was very communicative and responsive to emails, text, and phone calls and worked very hard to market and sell the property without being pushy or aggressive. I appreciated his style of handling the whole process and can only recommend his service and expertise to other sellers.

Thomas Gargiulo from Thomas Gallery Ltd to evaluate the furniture I inherited from my family's estate. Mr. Gargiulo visited us at our apartment in Manhattan and conducted a thorough review. He explained the history of our furniture, its origin, materials, and means of construction, design and value. Upon completion we asked if he would be interested to purchase it. He declined but mentioned other venues that could handle the sale for us. Tom, graciously, charged us nothing for the time he spent with us. He complimented our family on its taste and departed. We are very grateful to Tom. We learned about our furniture, and ultimately, we decided to keep honoring the legacy of our family! Thanks again Thomas.

I had a terrible experience with this antique dealer! I purchased 2 "antique" iron benches after…read morevisiting his store at 315 East 91st Street in New York, which he stated came from a famous hotel in the south of france, circa 1930. The price I agreed to pay Tom was based on the provenance of the benches--when they arrived (10 weeks later) from an address is Buenos Aires, Argentina, I became suspicious. After about 10 minutes of research on the internet, I discovered that they had recently been manufactured by a furniture seller in Buenos Aires and sent from their store. I anonymously contacted the manufacturer in Argentina the next day regarding these benches, and the manufacturer quoted a retail price that was almost 1/5 the price I was charged by Tom (as far as I know, this mand did not know of the shady transaction that had just occurred). I immediately contacted Tom with this evidence and his response was, "what do you want me to say, do you want your money back?". He insisted that I had to pay for the return shipping and would not send a check until he received the benches back in perfect condition. Surprisingly, Tom indeed sent me a refund check once he received the benches back. Just a bad experience all around.
