For those of you who are unfamiliar with selling an apartment in a cooperative apartment building complex, it a very complicated, time-consuming, bureaucratic as well as frustrating process with the need for sellers and buyers as well as their realtors and real estate attorneys and movers etc. to comply with archaic and seemingly-endless not to mention illogical rules and regulations. It can be nerve-wracking and infuriating at times for sellers and buyers and the teams of people assisting those sellers and buyers in navigating the required real estate procedures they are inherently obliged to adhere to in order to sucessfully achieve their real estate goals. We found Susana Gutierrez Manna, LLC, to be the kindest and most patient as well as polite real estate attorney we had ever encountered. She kept her calm and patience throughout our professional engagement with her from February to May 2024 to sell our apartment in preparation for our impending relocation to another US state. The same can be said about Janet who works with Susana and who replied to my many queries when Susana was not immediately available to respond. To put things into perspective, I wanted to point out that Mediterranean North has an extremely complicated and excessively bureaucratic administrative set up with its domineering and overbearing building management team, cooperative board and cooperative board attorney's office and their unnecessarily rigid and ridiculously archaic rules and regulations that must be complied with in order for any real estate transactions to commence, proceed and be concluded. At times, it felt like we were cautiously and with much trepidation trying to carefully navigate a perilous journey through a proverbial and extremely dangerous minefield. Susana never lost her cool and she as well as Janet working seamlessly with our realtor, Liza Rogala from Christies International, to assist my son and me with the eventual closing on the sale of the apartment we had purchased at Mediterranean North so that we could relocate to another state. Thank you very much, Susana and Janet! Thank you very much to Liza for finding and engaging the services of the Law Office of Susana Gutierrez Manna,  LLC for my son and me! Thank you very much to Liza, Susana and Janet for working hand-in-hand with each other to enable my son and me to finally conclude the sale of our apartment at Mediterranean North! We could not have done it without the "Dream Team" of Susana, Janet and Liza!

I had reached out to Marisa after multiple frustrating attempts to get services from a more local attorney who was very poor at responding to messages. Marisa was transparent, efficient, and supportive throughout the whole journey. The process lasted a few months and I felt she she truly advocated for me during the time. I know there was probably a lot of work she did behind-the-scenes and I'm truly appreciative for the work she put in. She always gave timely responses to all my questions and made sure I had all the details I needed each step of the way to prepare for next. In addition, when Marisa was busy, Jessica-her assistant would reach out and she was great as well! It's been a pleasure working with Marisa and I would highly recommend her. I'll likely be coming back when it's time to sell. Thank you Marisa and Jessica!

My transaction was riddled with difficulties on the seller's end (bizarro demands for "upgrades" despite the "as is" contract they signed) and Richard really kept me calm. He knew exactly how to handle things, worked really well with the seller's attorney and kept me posted every step of the way. I also was able to get exactly what was agreed upon initially (despite the insane upgrade requests) without having to kill the deal- which I had little hope for, but Richard reassured me would work out. There were no hidden or extra fees (and I thought his fees were very reasonable). Also, I asked for him to quote me a maximum, because I just wanted an idea of worst case scenario...and all his scenarios and fees made sense and he stuck to them. I called him a lot and he was always there to talk to me, personally. Yes,you read correctly: personally. I'm still shocked at how much attention I got. He's a great mix of intelligent and down-to-earth. I will definitely use him moving forward and feel more confident about pursuing property interests knowing I can turn to him. NOTE: I would not describe myself as easy to please. I do not suffer fools kindly, and my expectations are high. I also am an Italian(American) woman from NJ - so rave reviews do not exactly come pouring out of me without ample merit.
