”Joan was exceptional in every respect. She was always in contact with us, easy to reach, kept us advised of all activity on our account and as attentive as she could be. She advised us on all matters relative to our new dwelling and we feel we couldn't have had such a smooth course with anyone else. A real pearl!”

”Joan is the most honest and professional broker I have ever met. Joan sold me a studio apartment five years ago when I was single and now that I'm married and starting a family, we are in need of a bigger home. Joan was naturally our first choice.”

Sara E. - Buyer
”Joan exemplified professionalism and resilience. She met every objection we had with a dozen new possibilities. Joan is always prompt and kind, even managing to keep our kids busy at a few showings! We will miss seeing her regularly as I think she showed us 100+ apartments in the last year. She advised us on our contracts and we wouldn't be home owners without her, she held our hands when we wanted to give up on NY real estate.”

Nicholas P. - Buyer
”Joan was great to work with. Would certainly work with her again and already referred her to someone who is currently in contract on her new place, so that's a testament to Joan's ability to find people the right home.”

”Joan Kagan was impressive from our very first meeting. She was very honest about the conditions of the apartment and the challenges there would be to selling. She was realistic and strategic about the listing price and also what we could expect the actual selling price to be. She made us aware of the importance of timing the listing. She gave us a great deal of information about the market for the kind of apartment that we were selling without throwing excess and confusing information into the mix as another agent that we interviewed had done, Joan is so experienced and knowledgeable! She knows who to call for all the services that were necessary to get the apartment in shape to sell. She worked with the superintendent of the building to get preparations taken care of with the least worry and cost on our part. She knew exactly what furnishings to keep so that the apartment would be presented to it's best advantage. Her taste is impeccable.! She respected our concern that very fine furnishings and other items be recycled, and donated rather than discarded and put in the extra effort that was required to accomplish this. All along the process she had our interests top of mind. She inspired trust at every step. Joan screened buyers and offers with expert wisdom. She is a very respectful and talented negotiator and knew exactly when to abandon an unworkable situation with a difficult prospective buyer. Every aspect of her representation was excellent. She communicated with just the right frequency, never too much or too little. We had confidence in her judgment. She is professional and supremely patient. Joan made a very difficult situation painless. We are very grateful to her and hope The Agency appreciates the great asset she is to the company. Anyone selling a property in NYC should insist on Joan's representation.”

“Joan and Sergio listed my apartment after I had previously had it listed for 7 months with another broker (without success). They worked their magic and it sold quickly, at a great price, and without any issues. They were also great with working around my work/sleep schedule (I work night shift). Would highly recommend!”

Jonathan C. - Seller
“Joan went above and beyond in every regard. Our buyers had last minute requests before closing and Joan handled everything in her own without our involvement to make sure the closing would go smoothly. She spent over an hour taking the buyers through the apartment, and initiated a call between the super, the contractor, and the buyers to alleviate any concerns.”

Judith K. - Seller

“Joan was exceptional in every way. We could not have handled things without her. She was attentive to all our needs and requests, could be reached at any time, was an excellent liaison between us and our attorney, She was there with all of our walk-throughs, gave suggestions for decoration as well as helping to get rid of old furniture. All of her recommendations were totally on target. She was there every step of the way. We couldn't have had a better agent.”

As a real estate owner who has bought and sold numerous times in New York City, I would unequivocally recommend Joan as a broker.
