- Anna, repeat client for Manhattan and Brooklyn condos

"Isil was immensely helpful in our search and saw us through the offer/closing process of our recent successful purchase. She kept the process moving smoothly, but made sure we were getting a good deal. She was aggressive where she needed to be and represented our best interests. We could not be more pleased to have worked with Isil on this purchase and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy." 

- Eleanor & Sean, buyers of a Park Slope condo 

 

"As a foreigner in America, Isil was there to guide me through every single step of the process. Isil was very responsive and made herself available to answer all of the questions that I had throughout the process. We encountered several problems when trying to purchase our first home, and Isil helped us work through each and every one of them. I can truly say that we would not have been able to buy the apartment we are now in (and love) without Isil." 

- Bek & Jon, Buyers of a Bed-Stuy Condo


"Isil is savvy, incredibly reliable and dedicated, and took care of all the ins and outs of our apartment sale: from the major aspects, like having and implementing an aesthetic vision the space -- suggesting paint colors, rearranging our furniture, even staging it with contemporary decor of their own -- and marketing the heck out of it, to the minor coordination and scheduling details. We trust them both implicitly and always felt we (and our apartment) were in great, professional hands." 

- Amanda & Jason, sellers of a two-bedroom Murray Hill co-op

"We had a wonderful experience working with Isil. She is very knowledgeable and always accessible to her client. She kept us informed throughout the whole process. We have done a few real estate transactions and worked with a number of real estate agents. Isil is by far one the best agents we have ever worked with. We are looking forward to working with her in our next real estate endeavor." 

- Qiao, seller of a Morningside Heights condop

"I've worked with Isil on a number of real estate transactions. Our first time working together was a complicated transaction involving the rental and subsequent sale of my apartment. We received an excellent price very quickly. Isil is meticulously thorough, professional, and detail-oriented, as well as sensitive to the needs of all parties involved." 

- Ed, a repeat client
