Words from Ilana's Clients:
"Ilana was an amazing agent to work with. She was always available by text or phone call to answer our many questions and concerns throughout the process. She is a great listener, understood what we wanted, and never pushed us to go for an apartment that didn't fit what we were looking for, or was more than we wanted to spend. We would work with her again, and definitely recommend others work with her as well." Buyer, Gramercy Park

This is no small task as it involves a combination of analysis, vision, marketing and people skills, all of which Ilana possesses.

In addition, Ilana is an absolute pleasure to work with as she is responsive, relationship minded, and has a disciplined and clear-headed work ethic. With Ilana as our fiduciary, we have the utmost confidence that we are receiving sound analysis, recommendations and that our interests are protected." Landlord, Manhattan and Brooklyn
