"As a first-time homebuyer navigating the complicated Manhattan real estate market, I couldn't have asked for a better guide than Peter. From our very first meeting, he demonstrated a deep understanding of the market and took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process, from financing and board packages to making competitive offers and negotiating effectively. His knowledge and patience made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel as manageable and stress-free as possible.

"My wife and I found our dream apartment with Peter’s help. As newcomers to the apartment-hunting process, we greatly appreciated his patience, expertise, and guidance throughout our search. He shared valuable resources, gave us the space to define what we wanted in a home, and was always available—day or night—to answer our questions and attend every showing. Peter negotiated our offer below asking and coordinated with contractors to secure competitive renovation quotes. We’re incredibly grateful for his dedication and thrilled to have found exactly what we were looking for." -Luke and Ruhi's
