"Colin was a fantastic partner throughout our search. He was thoughtful and flexible as we began our search (without a lot of clarity on what we wanted). Once we narrowed down our focus, he brought a wealth of experience that helped us become educated buyers quickly. He was professional throughout, and his ability to form a strong relationship with the sellers was critical to us buying our first property. We couldn’t have asked for a better broker, and we’ll be recommending him without any hesitation." - Simon & Mile

"Colin was exceptional in guiding me through NYC real estate. From finding my first rental apartment while I studied for a Master's degree, to helping on a 2-year search for my first co-op purchase, Colin was there every step of the way, providing knowledgeable insights, important comps, and detailed costs for renovations and abatements. I would highly recommend anyone to use Colin and his wealth of knowledge to help navigate the NYC housing market!" - Chris

"Colin has been a major asset in helping us find the right home. He is very attentive and has been patient and informative with this process, as we are new to it. His insights in the market and the dealings of this has been invaluable for us, and his commitment and responsiveness have been unmatched by anyone else, I can say, as I have worked with other brokers before finding Colin. I’ve felt extremely supported throughout the entire process as he has been so patient with me and would always be ahead of the next steps and would carefully walk me through decision making processes that were all new to me. 10/10!" - Twan

"Colin helped me and my partner find our dream home in Brooklyn!!!! He is one of the most empathic honest agents I’ve worked with. So happy we found them through our first time home buyer experience." - Victoria & Louis

"Loved working with Colin (closed in Feb 2024)! I was a first-time buyer and totally overwhelmed by the extra complexity of the NYC real estate market. Colin walked me through it all with clarity and patience. He helped me identify my non-negotiables and flexed my search through different levers to help me see my options. Colin was with me every step of the way, and I so appreciated his creative vision when trying to think of how something *could* look, even if it wasn’t there yet. He also is just really personable and lovely to spend time with! For offers, Colin always gave me his honest advice (based on real data—loved his comp spreadsheets!), without pushing me one way or another. At one point, he also checked in with me on my stated non-negotiables when I got distracted by something shiny. :) I’ve ended up with an apartment that ticks all of my boxes, and I can’t wait to invite Colin back now that my renovations are almost complete! Thank you, Colin!" - Laura

"Colin was a joy to work with. As first-time home buyers in the city, Colin was amazing at helping me and my husband understand every part of the process. His attention to detail meant that he really remembered what we did and didn't like about certain listings, and he was always available to help us talk through our thoughts. His depth of knowledge and experience is evident - which just further made us super confident in our choices. We love the apartment we ended up buying, and I can't imagine working with anyone else in the future." - Annalise & Zachary

"Colin exceeded my expectations with his guidance on the sale of my apartment. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs assistance buying or selling their residence." -Bradford

"I was brand new to the NYC housing market scene and would have been completely lost had it not been for Colin to walk me through the stressful and complex process. He goes above and beyond for his clients and even attended a walkthrough with me the night before his wedding! His cool, calm, and collected demeanor got me through to the end and I am now a first-time homeowner thanks to his hard work. I highly recommend Colin for your real estate needs." - Rachel

"Colin was a top-notch real estate agent to work with. His flexibility in accommodating our schedule for multiple viewings was invaluable. Colin's adept negotiation skills resulted in a favorable deal with the landlord, showcasing his commitment to client satisfaction. Throughout the process, he maintained excellent communication, providing insightful advice and reassurance. Colin's dedication and expertise made our apartment search in the East Village a seamless and enjoyable experience." - Olivia & Adrian

"It took a little over 12 months for my wife and I to finally close on our first home in NYC. Being from the West Coast, the real estate scene here being mostly co-ops was really daunting, but Colin helped us identify so many different options even as we looked at things and decided that what we were looking for was changing. He was immediately responsive by email, texting, and phone calls within the same day every time we had questions, and he never lost his patience with me even though I'm very neurotic, so a drawn out stressful process like board approval was very hard for me. I can't recommend Colin enough!" - Winston and Kaitlin

"Colin is a true professional and is terrific at what he does. I wanted to sell my place quickly with minimal effort and Colin delivered! This was my first time selling and I didn't really know how to go about it but Coin was beside me from the beginning — he arranged for contractors to come in to take care of some minor repairs. He has an incredible eye for detail and design, he staged my apartment beautifully. I had three offers above asking price after two open houses. Can't say enough glowing things about Colin, he was delightful to work with." - Michelle

"Just to set the stage, my husband and I decided to move to Brooklyn from downtown Manhattan, having not A CLUE about Brooklyn. We just knew we wanted more space for our 2 girls, maybe a backyard. We met Colin and he was so knowledgeable and patient and so pleasant to work with. He showed us around many different neighborhoods in BK, different types of homes, and helped us really understand what we wanted. We searched for many months, during peak summer, during a pandemic and Colin was professional, cool as a cucumber and was more like a friend than a broker. Would highly recommend working with Colin. We ended up buying a brownstone in Park Slope thanks to Colin!" - Susie

"We were so glad that we were able to work with Colin and his colleague to purchase our new home. We started with no idea as to where exactly we wanted to live or what we really wanted in the house itself, but through Colin's diligent research, constant communications, local knowledge, and he and his colleague's experience with design and restoration work, we landed on a home (and a project) in a wonderful neighborhood that we would likely never have done had we not met him. We always enjoyed Colin's warmth, congeniality, confidence, advocacy, and follow-up, and felt that we were in great hands. He was able to obtain a competitive price for us and we are completely comfortable recommending him to anyone looking for a home in Brooklyn, whether that be a condo, co-op, multi-family, landmarked home, or any other variety!" - Lee

"I can't say enough great things about working with Colin. He was always responsive to all my questions, supportive through the process, had an in-depth knowledge of Brooklyn real-estate, and always asked the right questions to help me assess and make my decision. He was patient and so kind throughout the process, never pushy. And really walked me through the closing / condo approval process even once my offer was accepted until the day of the closing. He even helped give me some tips after that through my move! He was such a pleasure to be around and talk to during an overwhelming time. He was exactly everything I would've hoped for in a broker. I am pretty sure that without him, I would not be a homeowner now. I will always be grateful to him. And I would highly recommend him to anyone!" - Shalini

"We both bought and sold apartments with Colin over the course of 6 months, and he made what could have been a very stressful process incredibly seamless! He was easy to communicate with and quickly understood what we were looking for. Colin was always honest and knowledgeable about market trends and helped us come up with a strategy we felt comfortable with. When buying, Colin asked questions we wouldn't have considered to help us better assess and compare each property. When selling, Colin's staging of our apartment allowed it to stand out even when listed after comparable units had been on the market for weeks. We ended up getting several offers above asking within the first 10 days! We cannot recommend Colin enough." - Jessica & Kathryne

"Colin was incredibly helpful, informed, attentive, organized and especially positive throughout our home search. He was always on top of scheduling house tours to accommodate our schedules, he was super flexible and available when needed, and proactive about keeping us up to date with any news/updates that came in on properties we were interested in. Colin is very knowledgeable about homes in the Brooklyn area, specifically (where we were looking), and he was incredibly helpful walking us through the pros and cons of each property we toured. He knew what to look out for and would point out any red flags or great features that we needed to take note of. We loved working with Colin, and would 100% recommend him for anyone looking for a broker who is top notch." - Taylor & Moore

"Working with Colin was such a great experience! He is so kind, knowledgeable, and fun! He made the entire process of selling our apartment easier and less stressful. He also went above and beyond to show us apartments in Brooklyn before we ultimately decided to move to Westchester. He was super supportive of our decision and gave us an amazing referral for someone in the Westchester area. Having Colin on our side to help with navigating the stresses of selling/buying (especially during a global pandemic!) was one of the best decisions we've made! I can't recommend him enough." - Marc and Jill

"Colin Turek is fantastic and his skills run the gamut: impeccable staging; detailed marketing; well researched pricing strategy; expert client management. He has great advice and a huge heart. He works amazingly hard for his clients and yet never seems to break a sweat! Most of all, he made a difficult process easy and painless, no small feat in the New York City real estate market, during COVID no less. He’s the best of the best!" - Esther, Scott, & Vera

"Colin is a class act and went above and beyond. He was extremely helpful to us during our complete renovation of the apartment before we were ready to list it. Colin offered advice on finishes and stopped by several times to check the progress while we were out of town. From digitally staged photos, houses, negotiations and completing necessary forms, Colin took care of everything. We could not be happier with the professional and attentive service Colin provided and we look forward to working with him in the future." - J. Wertheimer and D. Cuenca

"Colin Turek and Andrew Booth were gems to work with. As soon as we met them, we knew they would be a good fit for us. We were looking for a very specific kind of property that could work for three separate families. Andrew and Colin were patient, resourceful, kind, sensitive to our needs and extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire process and helped us find exactly what we were looking for. It was so great getting to know them! We highly recommend them and look forward to keeping in touch." - Frances, Willy, and Malcolm

"Colin helped us find our new home, as well as sell the one we had grown out of. His knowledge and expertise were outdone by the care with which he handled our family's needs and largest investment. We couldn't have done it without him." - J. and D. Bale

"Colin did an amazing job finding our dream home! He went above and beyond us, and knew exactly what we were looking and nailed it. Colin took care of everything. He was there with us 100% of the time." - B. Corda and A. Bertollini
