"I could not have found a better broker than Susannah. Brokers in New York tend to be very transactional and sales-y, but I found Susannah to be the complete opposite. Susannah stuck to my wishes in terms of budget and neighborhood. A lot of brokers told me I couldn’t achieve what I wanted to, but she made it happen. She was incredibly attentive, patient, realistic and authentic which I wholeheartedly appreciated. As a young female first time single homeowner in a new city I had A LOT of questions that were 5-10 steps ahead from the mortgage process to closing and she took the time to answer every single question I had. From the beginning, Susannah cared more about finding me a home as opposed to closing a deal and that made the difference. She is a wonderful broker and I will 100% use her again when I buy my second home." - Flavia F.

Susannah not only facilitated seamless connections with the right individuals for crafting our offer but also ensured a smooth closing process. Her efficiency and friendliness made the entire journey stress-free. What sets Susannah apart is her commitment to client satisfaction, extending beyond the home purchase. Even post-closing, she remains a valuable resource for us.

She was incredibly communicative and was genuinely interested in getting to understand what our needs and limits were when looking for a new apartment.

"I had the pleasure of working with Susannah and Amy for both buying a new apartment and selling my old one, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their exceptional service. From the beginning, they demonstrated a deep understanding of the local real estate market and provided valuable insights that helped me make informed decisions. Susannah and Amy were highly responsive and proactive throughout the entire process. They patiently guided me through the complexities of both buying and selling, ensuring that every step was well-executed. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. In the purchase of my new apartment, they listened attentively to my preferences and tirelessly searched for properties that aligned with my needs. When it came to selling my old apartment, their strategic marketing approach and negotiation skills were instrumental in securing a favorable deal very quickly. What impressed me the most was their professionalism and dedication to making the entire experience as stress-free as possible. I felt confident in their expertise and appreciated their transparent communication. I would highly recommend Susannah and Amy to anyone in need of real estate services.

"Moving in NYC can be one of the most stressful and time consuming events of the year. Susannah completely eliminated that stress and found us our dream apartment within the first week of looking! With her frequently sending new availabilities that fit our very specific needs, I was able to focus on my work with peace of mind that someone was working tirelessly on my behalf. Once we found the place, having her gave us a competitive edge and secured our application as the first to be reviewed. Highly recommend working with Susannah!" - Ivana C.
