Client Testimonials

"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.

"Working with Susannah to buy our Brooklyn condominium was an exceptional experience. Her professionalism, promptness, and extensive knowledge left a lasting impression on us. Despite the tight timeline we faced to explore potential properties, Susannah effortlessly accommodated our needs. Her expertise shone through in the form of thoughtful recommendations that perfectly aligned with our requirements. 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. We eagerly anticipate future collaborations with Susannah and confidently recommend her services to others in search of a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional." - Felix L. and Diana A.

"Susannah was so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. She answered my many questions and was always willing to take extra time to explain strategies to me. I would suggest Susannah to anyone looking for real estate in the NY area; whether it is your first time finding a place or you have lived here for a while, her market insight is unmatched." - Erica C.  

"Our experience working with Susannah was hands down wonderful. From the very moment we met her, we felt like she instinctively had our backs. She was incredibly communicative and was genuinely interested in getting to understand what our needs and limits were when looking for a new apartment. She took so much of the pressure and anxiety off of navigating multiple management companies for us and made the whole experience of renting an apartment a rare joy in New York. We hope to continue to work with Susannah in the future. She is a trustworthy advocate to have and we’re lucky and grateful to have been able to work with her..." - Nickolas and Laura R.

"Susannah is fantastic! We're relocating cross-country and she made the very complex and stressful process of searching for an apartment in Brooklyn much easier. She helped us identify and prioritize "must-haves" vs. "nice-to-haves" based on market conditions and helped us move quickly to secure an apartment once we found a match. We'd highly recommend Susannah to anyone searching for a place in NYC!" - Uriah and Andreea M.

"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. Their passion for their work and commitment to client satisfaction make them an outstanding team. Thank you both for helping me find my new home and making the selling process seamless." - Charis T.

"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.
