We had an amazing experience working with Teddy to buy our first home. As first-time buyers, we had a lot of questions, and he was endlessly patient, available, and kind. He made the process feel manageable and helped us land our dream apartment in Brooklyn. We couldn't recommend him more. read more

I had an excellent experience with Teddy Cafaro when I purchased my UWS co-op! I am an out of state buyer and he made arrangements around my limited schedule, showed me an array of choices. We walked up, rode up, saw city views from all types of apartments in my area of choice. I loved on, made an offer and it fairly straightforward from there. He recommended a super RE lawyer to handle things. We closed and he helped me with the walk through and he did everything on my check list. He sent me pictures, face-timed me and helped out in so many ways. Thanks Teddy!! I love my new apartment. read more

My husband and I wanted to buy a pied-à-terre in Manhattan -preferably near Central Park - in order to visit our grandchildren, but neither of us knew how to navigate the NYC real estate system. We faced another challenge as we live in Colorado, limiting our ability to visit properties. A friend recommended Teddy Cafaro, and we met him on an earlier visit to NYC . Teddy's extremely accessible and easy to talk to. He explains complicated matters in an understandable manner; furthermore he's a great listener. He was able to identify exactly the kind of place we wanted. Teddy communicated with us daily, and kept us apprised of the market. It took six months, and continuous long distance communication, but ultimately we landed the ideal apartment. We highly recommend Teddy Cafaro. He's smart, knowledgeable, well-connected and quick-to-respond. He also assisted us in the co-op application process from start to finish. We couldn't be happier! read more

Teddy is incredibly professional and a true gem to work with. We felt very lucky to have met him and to have his help in the process. He was very responsive, was always willing to help (doing more than we expected), and gave good advice. One of the best real estate agents that we've met. read more

Alex was amazing, he was incredibly receptive to feedback about the apartments he showed us and he found a great rental in Carnegie Hill. He is very responsive and overall such a nice guy and we'll miss hanging out with him (he's also a great tour guide--we had some fantastic cinnamon rolls under his guidance!) I was also very impressed at how efficient he was in scheduling tours and his attention to detail and ability to sift through the masses of listings-- every apartment he showed us met all of our specifications, and he was able to adapt to new requests very quickly. My roommate decided he didn't want to live in a walkup and I was convinced that would send us way over budget, but Alex made it happen!! I would not hesitate to suggest Alex to friends and family looking in the area, and I would definitely use him again for future searches. read more

Amazing team. Ron is the best! Super responsive Helped me find a apartment super easy and helped with the whole process

Grant is fantastic. He helped us find our perfect new home in Hell's Kitchen and is overall a stand-up guy. Our process was smooth and steady and he has recommendations for everyone along the home-buying path, which is incredibly helpful because it's quite a process, especially with co-ops. Not once did I have a question he couldn't answer or find the answer to. Thanks Grant! Note: I may be biased because I know his dog. read more

Grant Braswell knows his stuff! He's a helpful guide for a first-time homebuyer. He's helped a number of my friends search for and purchase homes in the NYC area, and has been helpful in our initial calls as I learn more as a first-time purchaser. read more

Michael is amazing! We were searching for an apartment to purchase and he was so present and helpful the whole time. He was quick to respond to any questions and provided property comps to us very efficiently. Although we took a while to decide on an apartment, he was very accommodating and flexible to our schedule. He helped us through multiple negotiations and provided guidance without being too pushy. We highly recommend him to others in New York-- we are so happy with our Williamsburg apartment and he made the process enjoyable! read more

Grant and his team were quintessential in our home buying journey. Not only is his team great, but all of the people he brings along with him are professional, kind, and have your best interest as their priority. This includes the inspector, our lawyer, etc. From day 1, he was incredibly responsive and he was willing to spend the time chatting with us about small details as new homebuyers. He is also knowledgeable of financing and helped us lock in a highly competitive rate. Without Grant, we wouldn't have been able to execute on our home buying vision as quickly and efficiently as we did. I will personally be using his team for anything home related in the future and will recommend to close friends and family. Truly one of a kind! read more

Great experience with Patrick. He is organized and committed. He answered all of my questions and helped me navigate a long and convoluted application process. read more

Anyone looking to purchase a home would be lucky to work with Grant. Before choosing a real estate agent, we conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best based on the   professional knowledge, time and effort.  When making such a large decision, we wanted to work with someone we could trust. We spoke with Grant and then met with him at our home. He spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, honest, bright and he "listened" us. He has an amazing warm, friendly personality. We knew right away he was the one. He was always calm, listening to our every request, always accessible and trustworthy. We were impressed with Grant's professionalism, and work ethic. His personal skills and integrity are impeccable. We definitely look to Grant when we have any future real estate needs and highly recommend him to anyone who is searching for a hard working, highly intelligent, trustworthy agent. Thanks again Grant for being such a pleasure to work with. read more

Had the pleasure of working with Rob and he was excellent and professional. He really listened and made sure we were able to get what we wanted and within our budget. read more

Grant was very responsive and personable. He answered all my questions and connected me with some of his coworkers who he thought would know the market better where I was looking. read more

Braswell and team helped me list and sell a loft in Tribeca. These guys are the real deal. Grant, thanks again for all your hard work. My family and I are loving our new life on the west coast. It wouldn't have been possible with out you. Call me anytime you come out to LA! Cheers. read more

Grant recently helped me purchase a co-op in Park Slope. He and the team are all all-stars! He was so helpful in guiding me through the co-op purchasing process for the first time. I really appreciated his insights and recommendations along the way. Purchasing, especially in a co-op building, is a challenging process and it's so helpful and reassuring to have excellent guidance through it all! Thanks, Grant + Team! read more

I've found my last two apartments with this team. Specifically Michael Pearson was beyond helpful. He always kept my preferences in his searches and never tried to pressure me into taking something I didn't love (something a lot of brokers here in NYC do all too often, which is a major turn off). I have never been more comfortable in NYC in my entire life, and I have Michael to thank for that. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Patrick in our apartment search in Manhattan and he was the best. He understood our needs and was able to quickly tailor options to our desires. He was easy to work with and I appreciated how fast he was moving. When I wasn't able to make a viewing, he was there for me within the hour, and he always asked and got important info that I would have otherwise missed! I'd highly recommend Patrick and the Braswell Team. read more

In the fast-paced, high-stakes game of "house-hunting," it's important to have a trusted advisor by your side. An expert who not only understand the market and trends, but someone who understands your family's needs and advocates on your behalf in critical conversations. Grant Braswell is that advisor and more. From search to signing and beyond. Grant makes data-informed recommendations, keeps his cool, and never once made us feel pushed or rushed. He goes above and beyond to earn your trust and show you why he's the best. For example, even before we officially asked for his representation, Grant visited a listing on our behalf, took a 10+ minute home tour video, uploaded the entire thing, and shared it with us. With commentary and analysis. Additionally, Grant shared his network of top-notch resources: loan officer, inspector, and more. We recommend him enthusiastically / just give him a call and you'll see why. read more

Grant Braswell team helped us find a wonderful tenant for our co-op apartment recently very quickly. It was a pleasure working with Patrick, Sahar and Grant. We were impressed with how diligently and hard they worked, even through the Thanksgiving break. We were also thrilled with how they completed the complicated coop application process in just a few days. Their work ethic, professionalism, and efficiency is second to none and very much appreciated! read more

Buying anything during The Great Pandemic of 2020/2021 was a challenging process, let alone a home for a pair of first-time homebuyers. We had previously scoped out locations and knew the condo building that we were interested in, but needed help in deciding which unit(s) to make offers for. We reached out to Grant to help us with this, and he was able to show us the different listings and help make a offers for the units we settled on. Grant was super helpful throughout the entire process, from offer to contract to closing, and everything in between. Our process took a little longer than most, but Grant was patient and helped us with anything we needed. He was respectful, professional, punctual, and we were so lucky our first home-buying experience was with him. Once we're ready to buy another place, I will definitely reach back out to Grant, and I would highly recommend anyone who's thinking of buying, selling, renting, etc. to reach out to him and his team! read more

I recently found and moved into a new apartment with the help of Grant Braswell and Lauren Feldesman. The process was wonderful from start to finish. Before meeting Lauren, I'd looked at around 10-15 other places on my own and through other brokers, but she was BY FAR the nicest, most personable, honest, and helpful broker I worked with. I ended up applying for the first unit she showed me -- it was perfect! Grant then lent his expertise in helping me complete a fairly demanding board package, and was highly responsive and on top of things throughout. My timeframe between giving notice on my old place and being approved for the new apt was tight, but Grant went above and beyond to calm my nerves and reassure me while avoiding any of the grandiose false promises that other brokers are often tempted to make -- the end result was that I completely trusted him, and with good reason. Grant was honest, professional, and did everything in his power to get a good deal for all involved. I've tried to avoid brokers in the past, but Grant & team changed that for me. I'd fully recommend them to anyone and would happily use them again, though hopefully not anytime soon as I literally never want to leave this perfect apartment! read more

Michael was incredible to work with! He catered a list of potential homes for me based on my must-haves, needs, and desired location. He also completely walked me through the renters process which was new to me - he detailed the application process and necessary documents, which saved me plenty of time. Michael was also very respectful and a delight to work with - I was traveling with my mother and he did a great job of listening to us both. If you want to work with somebody you know you'll enjoy speaking with but who will also get the job done, definitely work with Michael! read more

I highly recommend Sahar Aubon as your next NYC broker. She helped me find THE perfect place in a short amount of time and was always available to answer my questions. Probably the most pleasant and efficient broker I've ever had. She's personable and really listens. Great experience. I'll definitely use her again! read more

Grant is knowledgeable about the real estate market and a pleasure to deal with. In my case, he wasn't able to help me, but he did refer me to a wonderful agent who could. Highly recommend Grant and his team. read more

Grant and this team, we worked with Wendy, were incredible to collaborate with and we got an apartment (for rent) on our first day of looking. We saw a great mix of places and decided on the last one, as it was perfect for what we were looking for. Wendy was very laid back, friendly, new the market and and didn't pressure us at all. She was also extremely helpful with the paperwork side of things and was very easy to communicate with before and after our search. Strongly recommended!!! read more

The Braswell team is the best! They helped me quickly rent out my condo within two weeks. Always keep me posted. Especially thanks to Sahar, she is super professional and patient to answer all the questions I ask. read more

Grant was super helpful with getting our home search started! He was knowledgeable about investments, organized, honest, and easy to talk to. We ended up looking for homes outside of NY and he recommended us to an agent in NJ that we ended up loving too. read more

Couldn't recommend Whitney from the Braswell team highly enough. Absolute pro, committed to getting the best for you whilst making the whole buying process as painless for you as possible. As first time buyers we really didn't know what we wanted. We shared some initial thoughts upfront with Whitney and she took it in her stride that my wife and I each had some widely different must haves on our lists as far as location, facilities etc were concerned. Of course we only really figured out which of these we really cared about enough to pay for after months of being shown a wide variety of places by Whitney, through which she really got to know us both and would accurately make the case in my wife's behalf if she wasn't there on a viewing. Whitney also challenged us to look in locations we hadn't considered and by showing us a wide range of options really helped us work out that some of our must haves we could live without, whilst other things not on our initial list were important. She is a Wikipedia of information on so many aspects of NY real estate and gave us so much great advice along the way. I honestly started to feel embarrassed that we were taking so long to get our act together and reach a decision to put an offer in on a place, but not only did Whitney dismiss that out of hand but she doubled down her desire that we found a place we really wanted and didn't settle for somewhere only 'nice enough'. Far from trying to get a quick sale Whitney challenged us to aim high and was always good company as we did our viewings and aggressive on our behalf when we want to make an offer. We love our place and there's no way we'd have got it without Whitney. read more

We had an absolutely awesome experience with Grant when purchasing our first home in NYC -- I don't think it could get any easier. He was knowledgeable, personable, thoughtful and patient even when we were being specific in our wants/needs, and ultimately helped us find a great place. Grant provided us several references as well, and each have been equally professional and awesome. I can't recommend Grant and his team enough! read more

This was my first experience looking for homes, and in a place like NYC, with so many oddities like tax deduction limits, flip taxes, etc, I was understandably nervous. Grant was awesome - he helped me find my coop, keep me on track for timing, and talk through some of these issues and trade-offs while traipsing around the city. His help was limitless, when my question was "can I fix X or do Y?" his answer was never just yes or no, it was "yes, and here's a number you can call, and here's what to ask for". Cannot recommend enough. read more

I worked with Grant and his associate Jen last year in looking for a place with my young man in Long Island City. They were both gracious and attentive, and they never wasted our time showing us places that seemed "aspirational" [read: out of our stated budget]. Plus, I hate to have to say this, but these guys also speak in complete sentences, return messages, and answer their phones. And if you've ever rented an apartment in NYC, you know that well over 75% of realtors don't have that going for them. We're planning to start looking for places again soon, and Grant and Jen will be the first people we turn to! read more
