"My partner and I worked with Javier throughout the process of purchasing our first home, over the course of about nine months.
Overall we had an incredible experience with him and can’t recommend highly enough working with him.
We were pretty overwhelmed at the beginning with the process of buying an apartment in NYC, but Javier helped to break it down into manageable steps and supported us throughout.
He was extremely attentive, quick to respond via text or phone call. He went with us in person to countless tours over the first several months, and was really patient as we worked through figuring out what we liked and didn’t like, what our nonnegotiable things were, etc. At the same time, he helped us maintain a realistic view of what we could find in the market with our budget.
He recommended great contacts for us for applying for financing, one of which we used and had a really positive experience with.
He was supportive through all the back and forth of contract negotiations, providing advice on offer amounts. We didn’t always do exactly what he advised, but it was really helpful to have his perspective as a baseline.
Javier felt like a true friend and partner throughout the experience, much more than just a business transaction.
He also speaks perfect Spanish and English, which was a plus for us as we are a multilingual couple." - Kimberly and Daniel

""As a first time home buyer, I highly recommend Javier & the Thrive Real Estate Team @ Compass. Rather than overwhelming me with information, Javier took the time to understand my needs and parameters, and empowered me to be an educated participant in the search process. I never felt embarrassed to ask him any question I had, regardless of how seemingly simple. Javier’s connections helped me assemble a trusted team, and because of him, I enjoyed complete confidence and transparency in every step of the process. The support did not end once the offer was accepted; Javier continued to advocate for me and ensured a smooth and enjoyable closing process and beyond. While I entered this endeavor somewhat intimidated, Javier & his team’s expertise and compassion completely transformed the experience for me ~ I am forever grateful!" Supriya Jain
