★★★★★"We were in urgent need of selling our Co-op, as we were juggling two mortgages on a retirement income. With summer vacation approaching, we recognized that home buyers typically drift away from the market during this period. We had received great recommendations about the Bateman Fields Compass team, who were well-versed in our building. Hope McGrath played a vital role in making our sale happen. She had a deep understanding of the market and knew from experience that empty properties usually sold faster. Unfortunately, we couldn't sell it empty because we had to continue living there. As artists, our home was filled with stored paintings, collected art, various furniture, sculptures, performance costumes, and a wide range of art supplies—all organized and functional. While many realtors would just list the property, the Bateman Fields Team took a more proactive approach. They quickly created an engaging advertisement and reached out to potential buyers. Hope was present at every open house and even produced a video tour that highlighted our home from the moment you step inside, which she shared on social media. She kept us updated and maintained our spirits, ultimately finding the perfect buyer. Hope also recommended an excellent attorney and efficient art movers. Leaving the home we had built together was challenging, but thanks to The Bateman Fields Team, especially Hope McGrath for her persistence, transparency, hard work, and guidance, the experience turned out to be surprisingly AMAZING." - Raoul & Reynolds T.

On a professional level, Hope was completely dedicated to my apartment search and helped me find a place that fit my very specific requests.

She was completely receptive to my needs and worked tirelessly to help me find the perfect space on a tight deadline and budget. On a personal level, Hope is extremely caring and wonderful to talk to, and I feel she truly wants to get to know her clients well to understand exactly what they are looking for.

"Working with Hope was everything you need in a real estate agent. She goes the extra mile to make sure you feel comfortable in the process of home buying and renting. Working with her feels like working with a friend—someone who truly listens to you, is looking out for your best interest and will not rush you into a deal. She was very diligent in gathering and sharing listings, asking questions on my behalf and organizing a tour for me when I came to town when I was living out of the country. In one week of touring apartments in Brooklyn, Hope helped me find and negotiate the right one. She’s been super helpful before, during and even after the process and navigating this life transition. I look forward to working with her again in the future." -Omaris Z.

Her guidance and company made the experience 10x better. We found our dream apartment, and we've fallen in love with Brooklyn. Cannot recommend Hope and the Bateman Fields team enough!" -Danielle K. & Clayton W.

"I have sincerely enjoyed working with Hope McGrath and the Bateman Fields Team at Compass to purchase my condo in Brooklyn. As a first-time home buyer, the real estate process felt somewhat daunting, but Hope was always there to answer all of my questions, and to offer words of encouragement when needed. In the beginning of the process, Hope listened to me talk about my dreams of owning property in the neighborhood that I grew up in, and my frustrations about the rising cost of housing in Brooklyn. I could tell that Hope really understood my needs and concerns, and she worked tirelessly to find listings that were within my budget but also met my desired wish list. Additionally, Hope advised me every step of the way throughout the process, including attending open houses with me, providing recommendations for mortgage brokers, assisting with preparing and submitting my condo board package, and all the steps in between up until closing. Hope's real estate expertise and support is invaluable. I highly recommend working with Hope McGrath and the Bateman Fields Team at Compass!"-Kayasha L.
