CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Li Chuang is not only a wonderful and experienced real estate agent, but she is also a kind and genuine person who deeply cares about her clients. It didn’t take long for me to develop a great deal of trust in our partnership - trust that she fully understood my needs, that she would take ownership of and be proactive in our search, and that she would communicate with me in a thoughtful, but honest manner. I value her opinion and expertise a great deal, and I feel lucky that I was able to lean on her to navigate the complex & nuanced market that is NYC real estate.

I hired Li to help me navigate the complex process of buying my first condo in NYC, and I couldn't have made a better choice. She's intuitive, patient, and has a deep understanding of the city’s real estate market. Thanks to her guidance, I secured a home that’s not only perfect for this chapter of my life but also has all the potential to end up being a strong long-term investment.
Although I was initially open to many different areas, Li zeroed in on the neighborhood that best suited me. She demonstrated her skill as a strategic negotiator who always keeps her clients’ best interests at heart. Li balanced the big picture with meticulous attention to detail, keeping me informed at every stage of the process.
Now, as I sit in my charming pre-war condo, I feel incredibly grateful. Li led me to the perfect building in the ideal location— moving here has greatly elevated my everyday life.

Allow me to express my sincere recommendation for Li Chuang. Trust her like no one else in this town. She's the millionaire matchmaker of New York Real Estate, the person you turn to in search of 'the one.'
Unlike many brokers who profit from pushing people into unfit homes, Li operates differently. She believes in karma and goes above and beyond to prevent buyer's remorse. With exceptional dedication, she educates you about value, potential setbacks, and the nature of the game.
As a first-time homebuyer with numerous questions and considerations, Li served as my trusted source of knowledge, guiding me with confidence through the choices of condos vs. co-ops, Tribeca vs. SoHo, fixer-uppers vs. turn-key ready options. Her wealth of expertise spans commercial, residential, rentals, and budgets of all sizes.
There's one thing New Yorkers can agree on: the real estate market here is competitive, confusing, and fast-paced. Finding a forever home in New York is a commitment akin to marriage, but the process demands lightning speed.
From the moment I started working with Li, I didn't need to explain why a property would or wouldn't work. As a fashion designer with a creative eye, I valued windows and historic charm more than most people, but there's no search filter for those criteria.
Li did the legwork, saving me time and disappointment by finding options that matched my preferences in a market with little to no inventory. Her agility and speed in booking showings was truly astounding.
I can't praise her enough. I'm grateful for her adept guidance that paved the path to the front door of my forever home. Without her, this process could never have been as enjoyable and streamlined.

We have been working with Li for nearly a decade - she has helped us through multiple rental searches in both Manhattan and Brooklyn, and then went on a nearly 2 year journey with us to buy our first place in Brooklyn. She also came to my rescue to help broker a deal in commercial real-estate for my New York based office. What makes Li such a great partner is how invested she is in every relationship and search she takes on – she is so patient, understanding, and reassuring. The buying market was a beast and it took multiple offers to find us the perfect home, and she was there providing us with professional and moral support along the way. In working with Li, you know you have someone in your corner who will go to bat for you.
We have loved working with Li and continue to recommend her to anyone who needs a broker.

Li, in my humble opinion, is the best realtor in NYC. Li is direct, helpful, no-BS and has been incredible at helping me find homes I love that are well-suited to what I am looking for. She's honest, helpful and doesn't waste my time. Anytime a loved one is looking for a realtor, I will send them to Li. She's helped many people in my life find apartments to buy or rent - all with different needs and budgets. I cannot speak highly enough of Li - a true standout and caring person in a profession where often clients can just feel like a number - she treats all of her clients with care, respect and a wonderful human touch. If you work with her to find your next home, you will not be disappointed.
