Client Testimonials
★★★★★
"Janina was from the start very attentive. She is responsive and caters to what you need, wherever you are in the process. I was initially looking to buy somewhere in NYC but wasn't exactly sure yet- Janina showed me a variety of places that matched what I needed, even though that criteria changed over time. She knew that I was interested in a particular building to buy in and kept an eye on it, updating me if there were any open units and if so, promptly scheduling appointments for me to see the home. I'm currently in contract on a home that Janina helped me find and she's been great with the process. She updates me with all the necessary documents and contacts the right people to get things done as soon as possible. It's been a treat working with her. Another thing to mention is that Janina is friendly-and not in the weird real estate I need to be friends with my client to get their business sort of manner, but in a genuine kind of way. She's been fantastic to work with so far." - Shelly H..

She has also been living in different places around the world, so she understands people from different perspectives. Janina helped us to negotiate the price to meet our expectations. She also coordinated with the seller to expedite the closing process to meet our move-in schedule." - Yvonne Z.
