"When the time came to list our West Village co-op duplex, Lisa Vaamonde was the first person we thought of. Over the years Lisa has thoughtfully kept us up to date with quarterly emails on the state of the real estate market and we felt that she had the familiarity with the neighborhood and temperament to work well with us. Not only did we have no regrets about our decision, we remarked often that we didn't know how we could have gotten through the sale of this without her. Although we knew she had other clients, we felt that we had her full attention at all times and never doubted that she had our best interests at heart.
In the roller coaster experience that selling a co-op in the city is, Lisa's unwavering equanimity, her years of experience and knowledge of the market and the sound options that she presented for us to consider, made a stressful and inherently difficult process [leaving a home of 35 years], much less so. Not to mention her bottomless patience! We are grateful for her guidance and care in getting us to the finish line as satisfied clients, so that we could move on to our next chapter. Dion Birney & Todd Olson
Lisa Vaamonde represented me on the sale of my condo at 330 Spring Street. Our relationship goes back two decades, during which time she helped me purchase my property as well as rent it in years where I did not live in Manhattan. Lisa is an accomplished agent and very detail driven which is greatly appreciated in the negotiation and closing process, not to mention the marketing of a property. She is ethical, experienced and knowdegeable in property value benchmarking and capable of supportinng a buyer or seller through all required steps and documents during a transaction process. Her network includes strong legal and other closing documentation relationships- which was incredibly helpful in our real estate sale closing." Russ Filipski
Lisa Vaamonde is excellent at her job. That excellence demands the patience of a nursery school teacher – and Lisa has it. For over 3 years, Lisa stayed with me, making suggestions, finding my needle in a haystack, holding my hand and celebrating me when I finally got my dream apartment. The process is joyful……and painful. The financial disclosures and the board package - Lisa guided me hrough this, all the while understanding what I was looking for, and how to help. She was so great, I recommended her to friends, who have also successfully bought places with her. This is a marathon – not a sprint. Lisa will be there to give you water, to load you with carbs, to get you over the finish line. S Fass, Esq.
"I just purchased my first New York City apartment. It couldn’t have happened without Lisa Vaamonde who understood immediately the home I was looking for at the price point. She found several likely places and immediately zeroed in on the one I bought. We found the apartment I purchased within two weeks of starting the process and it checked off all of my key requirements. I had particularly complex financials, and Lisa helped figure out the best presentation to the seller and the co-op board. I was very quickly invited to a board interview, which she advised and coached me for. Lisa guided in all subsequent steps, after the contract was signed and never dropped the ball. Buying your first apartment can be stressful, but Lisa understood the emotional roller coaster and helped me at every turn." Page Starzinger
"Based on Lisa’s advice, we agreed to timing and listing price strategy to market my property. There were multiple offers after only 4 days on the market. Lisa provided great advice and support in guiding the sale through the co-op board approval process and the sale price far exceeded recent sales in the building. Lisa’s level of professionalism, knowledge of the market and dedication is amazing." Todd Grasinger
"Throughout the process of helping us sell our apartment and purchase a larger apartment for our growing family, Lisa’s professionalism and patience made what could have been a stressful time so much easier. We feel that we not only got a realtor, we also made a new friend." David & Nisaa Monninger
"Lisa found us our first rental apartment when we moved back from London and then helped us through the process of purchasing our condo 3 years later. She is responsive, knowledgeable about the NYC market, extremely professional, and direct. Lisa has also given me a number of excellent referrals for services- mortgage broker, attorney, painters, etc." J. N.
