We had the pleasure of working with Leila Yusuf during our condominium purchase in August/September 2013. She was representing the seller and ended up being the sole broker on the sale/purchase. Leila was a pleasure to work with and handled the entire deal in a very professional, knowledgeable and thorough manner. She was instrumental in making the process smooth from beginning to end. Leila was always on top of things and, in fact, was a few steps ahead. She was pro-active and carried us through from beginning to end. As an additional bonus for us, Leila went beyond the call of duty and, even after the closing, has been very helpful with all aspects of our move into the apartment. We would gladly recommend Leila to anyone who is looking to either sell or purchase real estate.

I’ve known Leila Yusuf since 2004. In 2008 after saving for years I discovered an apartment that I was interested in purchasing. I knew that Leila had a real estate license and she was the first person who came to mind. I trusted her to guide me through unfamiliar territory or buying an apartment in New York City. It was a decision that I was glad I made. Leila proved to be knowledgeable of the New York real estate market. She was able to recommend a lawyer and a banker. She kept me in the loop with everything that was going on and advised me on obstacles that occurred during the purchasing process. Leila was fiercely in my corner when the economy began to suffer and I can honestly say that if it were not for her help I would currently not be a homeowner. Leila was someone that I could honestly talk to and she gave great unbiased advice that was not based on how my decision would impact her. She called to see how I was doing emotionally and her hard work and concern for me has only strengthened our relationship. I would without hesitation recommend Leila to anyone that I knew who was searching for an honest, compassionate, smart and friendly real estate broker.

Leila recently helped us sell our co-op unit in Harlem and we could not be happier with our experience with her. First off, Leila got the pricing right. We started with the right price and despite other similar units in our building coming onto the market at a cheaper price, we did not drop our price based on Leila’s recommendation. In the end, our unit sold for very close to the asking price while the cheaper ones are still on the market.
In addition, Leila was fantastic at helping us navigate all the hurdles that came up throughout the process. It is an extremely difficult and slow moving process to get approval from HPD and HDC (both from the seller and buyer side). Leila quarterbacked the whole process and quickly dealt with any setbacks as they arose. From the time the application was submitted by the buyers, we closed in less than four months which is lightning fast for HPD and HDC! Furthermore, Leila was very responsive to our concerns and helped us stay positive through the whole process (despite the stress!). It was a great pleasure working with Leila and I highly recommend her especially to those in a NYC subsidized apartment. If you want someone to get the job done, Leila is the one!
