"Shopping for real estate can feel like navigating a jungle; full of hidden opportunities, but also plenty of pitfalls. That’s why having the right guide makes all the difference, and for me, that guide was Hazel Pickens.
Hazel served as my buyer’s agent while I searched for the right condo in Jackson Heights and Elmhurst; both as an investment and a potential future home for my elderly parents. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand our family’s needs and priorities. The list of properties she curated was thoughtful, relevant, and high quality, which made the entire process far more efficient.
She was consistently professional, punctual, and easy to work with. Touring properties with Hazel felt less like a formal process and more like exploring options with a knowledgeable friend, one who could open doors (literally) and offer valuable insights at every turn. On one occasion, we noticed a newly listed unit in the same building as a scheduled showing. Hazel immediately contacted the listing agent and secured access for us to view it on the spot, an example of her initiative and dedication.
During negotiations for a property we were seriously considering, several issues arose that required revisiting terms with the seller. Ultimately, I made the difficult decision to walk away. Throughout that process, Hazel remained fully supportive. She listened carefully to my concerns, advocated on my behalf, and never once made me feel pressured to proceed. Her priority was always clear: her client came first. Shortly after, she was ready with a fresh set of options to keep the search moving forward.
Overall, Hazel is reliable, experienced, and deeply committed to her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and capable buyer’s agent to guide them through their real estate journey."
