"I am in the real estate Industry and recently acquired a 4 bedroom apartment on behalf of my parents from a very prominent NY real estate family. As one could guess, the negotiations between both parties were difficult, to say the least. Throughout this period, it was Jill that kept the composure amongst all of the parties and without question was integral in consummating the transaction between the parties. She has the utmost ethics and acted honestly and with such grace throughout the transaction. It is without hesitation that I would recommend her."

"Jill is patient, disciplined and extremely dedicated to her clients. Working with her group on the recent sale on an investment property was an absolute pleasure. Jill, Jeff and Alan were instrumental in preparing the property for market. They advised us on what improvements would increase value and even oversaw the renovation process. Thanks to their strategic staging and excellent marketing, we had an incredible amount of interest and I accepted an offer for the price I wanted within 10 days of the apartment coming to market. I would highly recommend the SBS Team to anyone looking to buy or sell in NYC.."

"We were fortunate to work with Jill Bernard in 2018 to sell my parents' apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. My father had passed away unexpectedly and I am an only child living 1300 miles away. Jill not only provided guidance, sound advice and referrals for services to get the apartment ready; she showed us the utmost patience and kindness throughout the process. No matter how many questions we had (and we had many) Jill always supported us and took any and all concerns to heart. We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to work with her and get to know her. You will be well served to hire Jill Bernard and the SBS group."

"I’d always dreamed of buying a pied a terre in New York. Something small but charming, something old but with amenities. And centrally located but not too loud. Which is to say: I’m a difficult client. Or a pain in the ass. You decide. Also: Did I mention my schedule was erratic? Jill Bernard not only found me the perfect second home, but she held my hand throughout the process and made me feel like I had a warrior on the ground in New York when I a million miles away. She’s not just the best broker, she’s also a human being."
