"We highly recommend Denise if you need to sell in NYC. She kept the conversation light, while at the same time focusing on understanding our goals and helping us achieve them. She worked tirelessly on our sale which led to a in place in less than 30 days. She always kept us in the loop and showed strong communication skills when dealing with all parties. We will work with her again." - Abe & Ariella
"Choosing Denise to sell my apartment was my best decision. After interviewing several brokers I had no doubt that she was the agent I wanted to work with. Denise is smart and savvy, warm and funny, and dedicated to her clients. She has a high energy and kept me up-to-date all the way through the process and was very responsive to my questions. My apartment sold quickly and a great price." - Patricia
"Without reservation we recommend Denise as a real estate agent if you are looking to buy. A master with negotiating price, she came up with a deal that was good us. Throughout the process, we found Denise to be highly attentive. She also has an engaging personality, and we clicked immediately. Denise is hands down the best in the business, and we will work with her again" - Steve and Deb
"My gut instinct told me to go with Denise as my broker—and that instinct was fully justified. I had 6 weeks to sublet my -op during the holidays with the added complication of a long board approval process. Denise was flexible in giving me options to consider and kept me informed at all times. We found the best possible renter I can imagine, and I am truly indebted. I highly recommend her." - Chin-Sun
"Denise is my choice in real estate agents. My family has many rental units. An example of her level of commitment and expertise was demonstrated when two of my family's units were available at approximately the same time. She rented both but to show the level of commitment - one took about 18 showings and the other took 2. She gets the job done - no matter the challenge." - Dahlia
