Client Testimonials

★★★★

I highly recommend Colleen Cassel for your next property search in Manhattan. As a real estate agent myself from Singapore she's probably one of the best brokers I have ever encountered. She helped my 18 year old daughter from the start to finish in her coop purchase. It wasn't easy from the application to the interview and Colleen walked us thru every step of the way. I don't think I could have had a better buying first experience in Manhattan and it was all because of Colleen's professionalism, patience and going beyond to assist.

Private Exclusives and 3-Phase Marketing

Private Exclusives are off-market listings that are only visible to Compass agents and are not yet on the public market. For buyers, it means extra inventory that buyers can get access to by working with me.

For Sellers, benefits of private exclusives, include the opportunity test your price, provide privacy, generates buzz before going live on public sites, receive feedback and offers a sneak peek into fabulous inventory before others see.

3-Phase Marketing A marketing strategy that puts the homeowner first. Giving you the competitive edge by pre-marketing your home to 33,000+ Compass agents and their buyers before going public. Market your home without the risk of days on market and price drop history. The 3-Phase strategy allows you to gather feedback and offers you the privacy and even time to renovate before putting your home on the MLS.
