"We can confidently say that without her, we never would have sold our apartment as well as we did—especially in such a challenging market. Her integrity, deep industry connections, and the trust she has earned as a true professional made all the difference. From start to finish, her approach to selling our home was thoughtful, strategic, and exceptional. We will always be grateful for the care she put into the process. But what really set her apart was how she guided us through the purchase of our townhouse. She went far beyond what was expected—uncovering important details that even our real estate lawyer hadn’t raised—ensuring we went into our contract with complete clarity. She looked out for us at every turn in what was a complex, and ultimately very rewarding, transaction. Through it all, she never wavered, never gave up, and was always our biggest supporter. We never once felt like just another transaction to her. She made us feel seen, cared for, and protected every step of the way. Her dedication and heart shine through in everything she does, and we truly cannot imagine having gone through this journey without her. John and Janine M. (Buyers and Sellers)"

"Our experience working with Cornelia on finding and buying our apartment was fantastic in every way. She is smart, savvy, thoughtful, patient, intuitive, and knows New York and its singular real estate environment better than anyone. We looked at a lot of apartments together before finding the right one and each time she was able to keenly and enthusiastically help further hone our search. She also provided invaluable guidance to navigating both the bidding and closing processes. And she’s just fun to be around — which definitely matters too! Zev B. and Hannah K. (Buyers)"

"Cornelia is everything you’d want in a real estate agent—kind, communicative, efficient, and a true expert. She guided us through buying our condo in 2021 and selling it in 2025 with ease, always making the process feel like working with a trusted friend who has your best interest in mind. We’ve recommended her to friends who also rave about her - she’s incredible! Molly W. and Andrew E. (Buyer + Seller)"

"As a first time home owner, my husband and I had no idea what we were getting into. Total strangers who cold called her, Cornelia lovingly spent two hours one weeknight on the phone explaining to us the ins and outs of what to expect. Without her support and patience we would not have found our special, quirky Brooklyn dream house we never knew we wanted until it stumbled upon us. She walked us through every step of the process, and introduced us to experts to support home ownership that we still rely on today. Cornelia is a gem of a home hunting partner, and we’ll forever consider her part of our family. Blair E. and Brett N. (Buyers)."
