"I was super impressed by Shimaa and her team. My apartment lease was set to expire and I was in a hurry to buy a place. With Shimaa and her colleague Evelyn I saw several units and quickly settled on one and made an offer. I was able to view the unit multiple times and make sure all my questions were answered. Shimaa’s team took care of all the details and referred me to great legal representation and closing was a breeze once I had all the financials figured out. Thank you Shimaa and Evelyn!"

"Shimaa is a force to be reckoned with. Fate brought me to her, and I believe there's no other explanation for how lucky I could have been to meet her. In our first call, she was able to understand my dream of homeownership, and everything I wanted but wasn't sure if I could have! She has this amazing "anything possible" mentality that I gravitated to immediately. Within a week, I had walked into my dream apartment with one of her incredible agents (Evelyn), and within hours had decided on an offer. We had an insanely rocky road to the closing table, but Shimaa is the most responsive, most fiercely protective advocate you could ask for to be on your team. She was able to get us everything we wanted, and more. She is a wildly talented negotiator and taught me a few things along the way - and I work in sales! We are already looking forward to having Shimaa at our housewarming party, and soon, buying several more properties with her in NYC. Broker for life!"

"Shimaa had some great insights about various areas of Brooklyn/Queens in which I was looking to buy, and she was able to direct me to a place in a growing area with a lot of future potential. The process was relatively easy (as easy as a new-build purchase can be). It's a beautiful building and it's been a great few weeks living here so far."

"If you want to experience what it is like to work with a truly professional real estate broker, Shimaa is clearly a cut above!! Writing this review is difficult, because every superlative I consider, simply does not capture my immense appreciation for this lady. On the surface, she seems very focused on the task and business like. Underneath, she is a most generous sweetheart who will stand by you and fight for you like a lioness protecting her cubs. I have vast experience with real estate dealings, I’m cautious, always self-reliant, at times skeptical…, but Shimaa simply melted my heart. She is extremely knowledgeable, she accurately gets who you are and what matters most to you, she stands by her word, very thorough, goes out of her way to make things easy and simple for you, and before you utter a question, she has already considered it and found the answer or solution for you. Unquestionably, an outstanding professional and human being! Needless to say, Shimaa is my broker for life!!"

"What can I say about Shimaa?! She’s fabulous, from beginning to end. Shimaa represented us, both as buyers and sellers, and went above and beyond to get us the best price in both situations. She’s the most responsive and honest agent we’ve worked with, highly knowledgeable, and just the loveliest of people."

"Shimaa is wonderful! She helped us during every step of the buying process and personally helped us review and submit a successful co-op application. She was always reachable when we needed clarity and I'm sure that our apartment purchase went through as quickly and smoothly because we had Shimaa on our side. I'd recommend her to anyone!"

"Shimaa helped me close my first purchase in a post covid NYC market. As a first time homebuyer, she was exactly what I needed to navigate a complicated real estate landscape and close on time, in spite of a very compressed timeline. Shimaa is a smooth operator, who does the little things, often behind the scene to move the needle forward. She was an excellent negotiator but also pushed everyone in the chain to do their bit so that my deal could close on time. If you're buying in NYC, you have to give Shimaa a call."

"Shimaa was everything we could have asked for in an agent and more. She was always ahead of the process and communicated with us in a professional and timely manner. She kept all stakeholders in the loop and ensure everyone is held accountable. We would recommend her and Evelyn to anyone who is looking to buy - they are a wonderful team!"

"Shimaa Anwar recently helped me purchase my first apartment in NYC. Buying in the city can get rather complicated rather quickly, but Shimaa was there every step of the way. She not only made sure my paperwork was correct and submitted on time, she also took the time to explain where we were in the process and what was coming next. Truly grateful for all her help and anyone considering working with her would be lucky to have her on their team."

"Shimaa is the best real estate broker I have ever worked with. From the very beginning she was helpful, supportive, open, transparent and reliable. This disposition continued through a very complex deal that in no way would have occurred was it not for her dauntless, committed touch. Her negotiation skills are second to none. She is extremely well connected and well regarded in her field— and it is easy to see why. I would (and have) recommended Shimaa without any reservation. I truly wish she could broker all my deals… including those not in real estate. She is a true gem and you will love working with her. A great broker and even better human. Need I say more?"

"Shimaa is AWESOME!! Knowledgeable, responsive, straight forward and went the extra mile to ensure we found the perfect place! She did a great job for us. Highly recommended!"

"Shimaa was a great agent to work with! She’s a hustler and has a great team! I was a first time buyer and she explained everything in great detail so I understood each process. Shimaa is very well connected as well so was able to help me find a reliable lender and attorney! Had a lovely experience working with her and her team!"

"Shimaa was fantastic! She navigated a complicated situation with ease, kept me informed, and really made things happen I strongly recommend her. She's definitely someone you want fighting for YOU."

"Shimaa was invaluable in my home buying process. She made everything as smooth as possible, from submitting the offer to helping me find lawyers and inspectors to get the job done. Through it all she was an amazing resource for me as a first time buyer and made sure I always felt comfortable in the process. I can’t recommend her enough!"

"Shimaa was wonderful. She was very patient with us and knowledgeable. As a first time homebuyer I was new to a lot of the terminology and process. She helped us explore all our options and assured us every step of the way. Very responsive and amicable 10/10 would recommend."
