We were so lucky to work with Annika to purchase our new home and sell our previous one, and she was a delight from start to finish. Annika took the time to understand what we were looking for and to get to know us as a family. She's down to earth and understanding, but also smart, direct and a straight shooter -- perfect for the NYC real estate market. And when we found our dream property, she made it happen! We felt so confident and safe with her at the helm. We then sold our previous home with Annika, and she gave great advice around staging and pricing -- and we quickly received multiple offers. She is truly a pleasure to work with and such a pro. Highly recommend Annika! -Carrie and Jonathan

We had the absolute best experience with Annika. I love the way that nothing ever felt pressured or overly expedited. She really understood what we wanted and helped us find exactly that (and to our surprise, we ended up finding it in just a few weeks!). We bought our absolute dream Brooklyn townhouse with Annika and even though there were a few complications with this particular home, Annika made the whole process so stress free and exciting, particularly because she really knows her stuff. We then sold our previous home with Annika and got multiple offers (one of which we went with) within just two weeks! Annika is a pleasure to work with and anyone looking for their next home would be so lucky to have her on their team. -Kiki and Dean

We had the pleasure of working with Annika who was the consummate professional through and through, tirelessly advocating for us and going above and beyond every step of the way. She is an amazing agent and even better person. Compass is truly lucky to have her. She made deals happen successfully when we felt we had hardly any chance. Prior to meeting her we faced a series and string of rejections/disappointments but she was incredible on our behalf with multiple back to back offers being accepted. Cannot express our gratitude enough to Annika thank you for all you do!! -Paul

Buying your first home is a wildly exciting but also daunting experience and picking the right agent to go through the process with you is crucial. I’m so very happy I picked Annika. She had the perfect mix of empathy and practicality, was able to expertly guide me through the process with responsiveness and clarity on any and all questions (and I had many!), thought one step ahead to ensure I considered all aspects in choosing my home, and was a savvy and relentless negotiator in the transaction. I’m so happy in my new home and can’t thank & recommend Annika enough! -Marzia

"Annika was nothing short of amazing. We moved from London to NYC with the intention to buy fairly quickly. She went above and beyond to make the entire process clear, seamless and quite frankly enjoyable from our first meeting over zoom in London to closing all in the space of 7 months. She guided us at every stage, never over stepping and making us feel pressured (which we had experienced in the past). We always felt she was in our corner and had our best interests at heart. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!" - Dom and Caro

"Annika was super on top of things and very attentive. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. As a first time home-buyer, I quickly learned the process could be very trying, but Annika helped me and encouraged me every step of the way. In the end, I finally found the *perfect* place and couldn't be happier. Her guidance and knowledge of Brooklyn/the market was absolutely critical to me finding that. Annika is the best!" - Seema

"Annika is amazing and we cannot recommend her highly enough! She represented us as buyers for a coop in Brooklyn and we felt fully supported by her from start to closing. We were first time home-buyers and Annika was great at talking us through everything, was highly responsive to all of our questions, and went to bat on our behalf. She is a great listener and knew exactly what we were looking for---the apartments she showed us were always in the ballpark of what we were looking for. It took us a while to find the right place (which was our preference), and Annika was patient and supportive throughout the process. So easy to work with her! We'll definitely turn to her when it is time to sell." - Tricia

"I loved working with Annika Grove to find my Brooklyn apartment! I moved to NY from London just over a year ago and she helped me navigate so many hurdles trying to buy a condo with no credit history in the US. She worked around the clock to get the deal done, from finding me a great lawyer (the hilarious Howard) to a mortgage rate significantly lower than my company's private bank's 'special' rate for employees. Annika even bought the property manager at the building a slice of cake to get our forms completed faster - such a class act. The experience working with Annika is absolutely the opposite of the two properties I bought in London - I'm absolutely blown away by her tenacity, warmth, and generosity with her time. I feel I've made a true friend along the way." - Tabitha

"We met with 4 realtors before deciding who to list our condo with and Annika was the clear standout. We were already in the process of buying our new home and wanted to sell our place quickly. Annika immediately put us at ease with her calm but in-control working style. She is organized, diligent, and knowledgeable about the local market in our part of Brooklyn. She advised us at every step of the way and worked quickly to help us get our place on the market in under 2 weeks. She completely accommodated our priorities (for example, lining up showings while we were away on a previously scheduled vacation so we didn't have to be disturbed) and worked to make everything happen on our best-case scenario timeline. She is also skilled at building relationships on both sides of the transaction, and I think that helped us close the deal quickly. Highly recommend working with Annika!" - Mansi and Don

"It was a pleasure to work with Anni on the sale of our Brooklyn coop apartment. Anni was organized, worked tirelessly and at all hours to ensure our questions were answered, that things ran smoothly and that our co-op board was also comfortable throughout the sale process. She is a broker who goes above and beyond, including bringing in and personally overseeing a fantastic contractor to make a few cosmetic updates and ensuring our beloved home was looking the very best it could for our sale. She worked within our timeline and made sure we were not disrupted by endless showings, was organized in presenting offers and gave great advice throughout. We met with a few other brokers in the process and Anni was by far the most personable, responsive and she and her team are very knowledgeable about the Brooklyn market; they gave us good insight and advice on pricing and timing as well. We will definitely work with Anni again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Brooklyn." - Yolande and Francois

"Annika was an incredible guide throughout our entire home buying experience. She’s a careful listener, and from day one, she was able to zero in on our family’s needs to identify the perfect home. Anni assisted in crafting a competitive offer, providing clear and direct feedback along the way. She was persistent, and expedited a quick closing by connecting us with trusted legal counsel, communicating with the seller’s agent, and navigating through both building management and co-op board requirements. Overall, Anni’s expertise and laser focus landed us the home of our dreams. We thought of her as a partner and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home." - Lindsay and Russ

"Annika made our first experience buying a home so enjoyable! At first we were a bit intimidated navigating the Covid market, but when we met Annika we knew we were in good hands. She was kind, supportive, patient and extremely knowledgeable. Annika helped us navigate all sorts of things above and beyond her job description. We are so lucky we found her and would highly recommend Annika to anyone looking for a top notch real estate professional!" - Katy and Brendan

  "Anni was a wonderful agent to work with and I can’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking to sell, or buy. She helped us sell our beloved apartment that we lived in for many years, while working closely with us on the purchase of our dream home. Not only is Anni warm and friendly, but she is a real go-getter and has an incredibly positive attitude. Through careful market preparation, she was able to work with us in transforming our well-lived-in apartment into a buyers dream and succeeded in selling it for well above the asking price. Anni was a great communicator, not only with us, her clients, but she developed a rapport with the buyers and buyers agent. Anni is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, and knows her neighborhoods so well. Working with Anni was a dream!" - Stefanie and Gabe  

  "Annika Grove helped our family’s dreams of NYC homeownership come true! We worked with her to buy our first co-op apartment in Brooklyn and she guided us through the entire process. We really appreciated her incredible proactivity and responsiveness. She educated us along the way and kept us focused on the next step in a long and complicated process. We quickly found the best place for our family and the process was smooth. It was also great to have the assistance of the Compass team behind her to assist us in assembling and submitting our Co-op board package. We highly recommend her services." - Jana and Teddy

"Anni was our incredible real estate agent! Knowledgeable, supportive, optimistic and efficient are only a few words to describe Anni’s style. She was readily available in answering all of our questions. Thanks to Anni & her team at Compass we had a speedy & successful apartment sale. Highly recommend working with Anni for any of your real estate needs!" - Lizzie and Charlie

"I loved working with Annika! As a first time homebuyer I was naturally very nervous and had a lot of questions and hesitations throughout the process. Annika thoughtfully coached me through each and every step, was always available, and presented the pros and cons of each decision point clearly. I also appreciated how responsive she was - she provided answers quickly and when there were items outstanding she kept me informed of the progress so I never felt in the dark. I’m so happy in my new home and would absolutely love to work with her when the time comes for my next adventure." - Sarah
