"My husband and I were 2 months in to the search our first home to buy in New York when we were lucky enough to be introduced to Shari. We had been working with a realtor who just did not get what we were after, who we were as buyers and did not consider our budget properly and it made the process stressful and hard work as we just did not trust that she was exploring all options or using her expertise to think of new ones on our behalf. Shari was the complete opposite from day one - caring, thoughtful, creative and most importantly, she listened and understood what we wanted and more importantly what we didn't want and couldn't afford. We looked forward to every with Shari and to learning about and exploring different neighborhoods that we didn't previously consider. When we found places that didn't quite fit, she was never pushy and didn't ever make us feel like we couldn't eventually find our dream home, which is exactly what we did. From the moment we decided we wanted to make an offer to the day we closed, Shari was there every step of the way, always responsive to our millions of questions by text, email or . Most importantly, she understands the emotional investment that comes with buying a - especially in such a fast moving and competitive market as New York. When we encountered delays because of our financing, she was supportive and ensured that all parties were kept up to date on the process so that nothing would fall through the cracks, especially as we were dealing with a coop board. Shari is not an incredible realtor who we have and would recommend wholeheartedly to anyone, she is someone we consider a friend. Her professionalism and knowledge of the market, her enthusiasm real estate, her passion working with others and her patient, caring and trusting personality sets her apart from anyone in her field." - Victoria & Jamie McLaughlin
