"Zoya and Adam were brilliant and wonderful realtors for several reasons. First, Zoya brings a beautiful warm energy to the process which initially led me to feel I could trust her in the complex process of readying and selling the home I had lived in for over 25 years. Second, Zoya and Adam complement each other and Adam has very wise marketing strategies that resulted in a super quick sale of my house. Third, their work ethic enabled them to speedily ready my house for a quick sale in my absence. How amazing is that. Fourth, they staged my home so beautifully and had such excellent photos on line that I felt like I wanted to buy it myself. They saw the strengths in the house and property and knew just how to present them in compelling photos and actual restaging the house. Fifth, their communication with me could not have been better. We talked and texted and even though I was in Florida at the time the house went on the market, I felt I was well informed every step of the way. Sixth, they priced my house very wisely and as a result it sold for over asking in a final request for last and best offers from potential buyers. We accepted an offer four days after it was first listed and were in contract immediately. They vetted all potential buyers and offered their thought on the finances of the final two competing offers. I could continue to list their strengths and skills, but instead I will close my review with the following comment. I am deeply grateful to Zoya and Adam for their assistance and their guidance in the sale of my home. I can recommend them as realtors with no reservations and a huge round of applause!!!"

"Zoya was incredibly lovely to work with. She was real, honest and always, always available. She worked with us during one of the hardest transitions of our lives (having a toddler and a new baby come during the pandemic) and always kept our needs in mind and showed us homes that got us to our new home as fast and painlessly as possible. She easily recalled details that both my husband and I wanted in a home and when it came down to sourcing the rest of the crew to help us along the way, we knew we could count on her. She is extremely hard-working but also a real pleasure to be around during such a tumultuous time in life! She takes her time and was always there for us, even after we bought a home. Her and her team are great and I would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling! We will for sure be working with them again in the future!" - Frida I Matute

"Working with The Adam & Zoya team was an amazing experience from beginning to end. Their honesty, knowledge, experience, passion for the business, and compassion for our family came through with every step of our journey together. With Zoya, Adam, and Julie at the helm, we were able to sell our beloved home and purchase our new home simultaneously which is no small feat! Team Adam & Zoya found our family's forever home and for that, we are forever grateful."
★★★★★
"From day one Zoya was helpful and after we explained our new home dream Zoya took the proper time to show us all properties that matched our request. Thanks to her guidance we were able to find our new home in less than a month."

"Adam is phenomenal to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable, a great communicator, facilitator and negotiator, is hard working, thorough and a wonderful advocate. I've worked with him twice now and will absolutely work with him again once the opportunity arises. I recommend him most highly." - Rosie
★★★★★
" Zoya is amazing. She is a rare breed in her profession. She demonstrates exceptional integrity and engagement, always looking out for her clients. You can trust her empirically and she knows everyone and everything! Have a question about which lawyer to use? She can help. Want to know if the roof is sound? She can have a roofer there to look at it that afternoon! Don't know who to get to do a home inspection? She can find you someone at half the price of the people you find on your own. I know I sound like an advertisement, but really, she was amazing and stuck with us for over a year until we found the perfect home for us." - Brett R.
★★★★★
" Adam went above and beyond his responsibilities to assure we enjoyed the entire process. Once we went into contract we were able to close in 26 days only thanks to his (and Zoya's) support...we are really grateful that we met him. Very honest, helpful and nice agent and an especially a wonderful person." - Enrico G.
★★★★★
"Zoya is the best. I have been working with Zoya for over a decade. She found me my first apartment when I moved to NY and my first home when I moved to Westchester. She is also a real problem solver and knows how to work with landlords and sellers. When I first moved to NY from Asia as a single mom I had no credit history and she helped me jump through all the hoops." - Suki S.
★★★★★
" Adam is patient, helpful, understanding, knowledgeable, resourceful and has a great sense of humor. He was able to show us houses quickly while working around our difficult schedules. I hope to never have to go through this again, but if I do, Adam will be first call I make." - Ruth
"Zoya was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. We crossed paths on another home last year and she had gently kept in touch since then. When the right home came along, she helped us in every step of the process from first viewing to the closing. Whether it was negotiating with the sellers or when she researched some of the dimensions while we were hours away in another state - she went out of her way to make sure the process was great!" - Robert Butler
★★★★★
"Absolutely the best real-estate team in the NYC area! Adam and Zoya are knowledgeable, insightful, friendly, patient, responsive and they happily worked with us over several months to help us find the perfect home. We would happily work with them again and will recommend them to anyone we know in the market for a new home." - Seiji Powell
★★★★★
"Adam Trese is the absolute BEST. Between working with my busy work and school schedule to finding time in the day to show me my now new home. He knows how to communicate which is a big plus as well. Highly recommended."
★★★★★
"Zoya went above and beyond what I would have expected from an agent. She connected me to vendors who were all fast and reliable, which made my life a lot easier. She was also willing to be on the property for inspections, reinspections etc. when I wasn’t able to and continued to be helpful even after we closed. Zoya stayed in constant communication throu" - InjySullivan0
