"Anne helped sell our apartment during Covid, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional broker. She deserves even higher praise than that. She was able to arrange our apartment beautifully at very little cost to the effect where our friends didn't even recognize our place as it looked so professional. During an uncertain time in the market, she helped us set pricing, and quickly generated strong interest when most apartments had been sitting on the markets for months market. She was instrumental in attracting numerous bids even above our expectations. She always made herself available for questions, consultation, and referrals which certainly helped during a stressful time. I would not hesitate to work with her again. " - Young Lee

★★★★★
"Anne is a knowledgeable and thoughtful agent who was an absolute pleasure to work with! I worked with Anne both to buy and sell my first apartment. Anne's keen local knowledge of the different neighborhoods in Manhattan was key to finding the right fit for my first home. Her hands-on approach with the contract process helped moved us along efficiently to a successful closing. After deciding to sell that apartment, there was no better choice in my mind than to use Anne again for the sale. She effectively gave me the advice I needed to prepare and price the unit for a quick and profitable sale. Anne provided crucial information needed for a smooth closing, which was invaluable. If you are looking for an agent that is hands on, detailed oriented, and always keeping your needs first, I highly recommending using Anne as your agent for purchasing or selling your home! " - Mark Lee

★★★★★
"Anne is absolutely perfect. She is kind, thoughtful, has amazing style and grace. She rescued me when the elite team I originally hired could not sell my apartment. Brought in her fantastic decorator and completely made my apartment (which was already pretty great) even greater. Even though the market wasn't at its best, she diligently worked to bring in potential buyers, vetted them, kept detailed notes and secured a buyer and made the sale happen. She was always available to me to talk or go over things but was never annoying or reaching out too often, and gave impeccable advice. I cannot recommend her highly enough. " - Mara Rosner

★★★★★
"Anne is an absolute pleasure to work with! As first time buyers, it was so helpful to have Anne's patient guidance throughout the entire process. She is incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and professional. When we first embarked on our search, we had a few specific requirements for what we were looking for, but didn't know what would be realistic to expect in the city, at our budget, and on our very tight timeline. Anne quickly got a feel for what would work for us and helped up fine tune our requirements by pointing out aspects of properties we never would have considered. We worried that our requirements might be too ambitious, but in the end, she found the needle in the haystack for us. We fell in love as soon as we walked into what is now our new home. During the subsequent contract negotiation and coop board approval process, Anne was a tireless advocate for us. We cannot recommend her enough. If we ever return to the market for a new place, we wouldn't hesitate to work with her again." - Christina Lee

★★★★★
"Anne is one of the most professional, thorough and ethical sales agents I have met. She helped us buy our first ever piece of real estate in Manhattan and it was a breeze, thanks to her. She walked us through the entire process including the pre-buy. She is really good at listening and figuring out your particular needs. She also pushes really well on the value for money, and insists you pick up only good deals (which was great for novice buyers like us). She is flexible & patient - when our need changed from a co-op to a condo, she quickly found us a place. She is honest - she let us know about something at the last minute that could have been a deal breaker even though we wouldn't have known about it unless she told us. She is extremely diligent - she found tiny things in our apartment and sorted them through, including insisting that the seller fix a non-functioning burner on the stove! All through this process, she never once put pressure on us to buy or showed any sort of impatience with our constant change of mind. We would use Anne over and over again in a heartbeat and couldn't recommend her more highly." - Neela Saldanha

★★★★★
"I have dealt with Anne over 9+ years. The first encounter was to rent a condo in NYC. She found us a very good tenant and ever since I used Anne. She is very reasonable and gives prompt and honest updates. I recently sold the very condo which she has helped me rent over a number of years. Sales was not easy since the condo had a tenant in place. She facilitated all the logistical process of move in and out and made the transaction seamless. I'd highly recommend her." - bnam2

★★★★★
"Anne Kim recently facilitated selling my coop at asking price, which required considerable expertise and effort. From our first conversation to the closing, Anne was prepared, informative and honest. In a few months, she succeeded where an agent from Corcoran was unable to produce effective results. Communication via phone, email or text was efficient and cordial. I would highly recommend entrusting the sale of a property to Anne and her team at Compass." - emsheehan

★★★★★
"Anne Kim helped us purchase an apartment in January 2016. This was not our first real-estate transaction – and we can categorically say that Anne is the best real estate professional that we have ever worked with. Anne was very knowledgeable and quickly understood our needs. She helped us find our dream apartment and shepherded us through the entire process – from the mortgage to the board application. She is meticulous beyond belief and we could count on her to watch for our interest at all times. Since then, we have recommended Anne to many friends and they unanimously agree that she is fantastic to work with!" - Rena Nigam

★★★★★
"Anne knows market very well. She helped me purchasing Condo 2 bedroom apartment in 2016. She patiently searched apartments within my budget. She negotiated for me and sometimes pushed me as necessary. I felt Anne was always my side. She is very intelligent and very reliable professional." - masakom15

★★★★★
"We could not be happier with our realtor Anne Kim. She was personable, patient, flexible, and quick to respond to our questions, even though as relatively uninformed buyers we had a lot to ask. Throughout the entire process she was professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. She clearly understood our budget and boundaries to find the perfect home in a perfect location. She gave great advice as far as our offer went, was very knowledgeable about what would make our offer stand out in an extremely challenging market. Her honesty and insights enabled us to make the appropriate decisions. She knows how to make your offer competitive and that’s something that is key in the home buying process. Not only did Anne’s expertise help us though the whole process from beginning to end; she provided valuable resources even after the home closed with her recommendations on contractors, architects and designers. She clearly had our best interest at heart. 5 stars really isn’t enough for her. Anne’s excellence is really solid and consistent. I can’t recommend her enough!" - KieterChan

★★★★★

I continue to seek her counsel and consultation In regards to purchases and investment properties I've made with her and others. Her professionalism and expertise is stellar. I hope to continue to do business with her in the future. I highly recommend her." - sodapopkim
