"I was referred to Teddy by a friend of mine and he did not disappoint! He was very patient, kind, and answered all of my questions. He was so helpful to provide information and was by our side every step of the way. I trust Teddy completely, and if I ever need to move again in the future he is going to be my first call. I would recommend him to anyone! " - Deanna L.

★★★★★
"I cannot recommend Teddy enough. My wife and I are first-time home buyers, and Teddy did an amazing job leading us through the process, from our initial scattershot search across multiple neighborhoods to the final details of the close, even recommending movers and a cleaning service. His knowledge of New York real estate is deep. He is nonjudgemental, patient, and readily available to answer questions or offer sound counsel. Most important, he never once pressured us. It was clearly important to him that we found the right thing for *us*, no matter how long that was going to take. We completely trusted him to navigate the coop board application. He went above and beyond, making sure every T was crossed and every I was dotted and that we looked as good as we possibly could. Throughout the process, he maintained an unflappable air of zen-like calm, even when the two of us were FREAKING out. Now we are the proud owners of what we believe is the greatest apartment in New York City. Could not have done it without Teddy. " - Lloyd Wise

★★★★★
"I consider Teddy the go-to person for my real estate needs in NYC! He found me a wonderful rental on the Upper West Side and found my daughter a great coop apartment after months of searching. Teddy was extremely thorough and patient in walking us through a first time purchase. Highly recommended! " - Susan Smahl

★★★★★
"Teddy brings a thoughtful, professional approach to navigating the New York real estate market with a work ethic that will match your own. His lightning fast responsiveness at all hours is critical for those of us who only have spare moments early or late in the day. And Teddy has the discernment for details and follow-up that this market uniquely requires. " - Shelby Spears

★★★★★
"Teddy was so helpful in helping us rent our dream apartment on the Upper East Side. He was there for us every step of the way and was available for calls and emails with our many questions. He helped us feel prepared with our board approval process & interview and helped tie up loose ends before move-in. I highly recommend working with Teddy! " - Johanna Wegner

★★★★★
"It was such a pleasure working with Teddy! He was very organized and thoughtful throughout - he planned viewings efficiently and in careful order, and made sure I was always prepared for the next step so the whole process went very smoothly. As a first time buyer I also really appreciated his positive and supportive approach, helping me to understand the process and answering any and all questions I had along the way. He was helpful from the first phone call right through move in and I’m so happy with the home I have!" - Rosie P.

★★★★★
"I first met Teddy when a colleague referred him to me ahead of our move to New York City. In his early communications with me and my wife, we immediately appreciated his candor, knowledge, and affability. Teddy’s calm, steady approach made the difficult transition quite easy and enjoyable. He’s exacting in his work, but totally committed to ensuring customer satisfaction." - Griffin M.

★★★★★
"Teddy was a wonderful guide through the home-buying process. We knew nothing about it at the outset, and we told him so, and he spent a lot of time on the phone and in person with us, laying out the steps we'd need to take and the questions we'd have to ask. He got our closing scheduled and taken care of on a pretty tight schedule, gracefully navigated a number of wrinkles that popped up, and even hooked us up with a terrific contractor to get the place painted and spruced up before we moved in. I'd recommend Teddy to anyone." - Richard Beck

★★★★★
"Teddy was wonderful to work with throughout the process of selling our apartment. He is extremely knowledgeable, has great attention to detail, and is very easy to communicate with. We would definitely work with him again!" - Amelia Dufrechou

★★★★★
"Teddy took the time to really get to know our taste and preferences, so much so that we found our dream apartment on DAY ONE of seeing listings! He coached us through the whole offer and application process, and despite a bidding war, his personal touch gave us the upper hand, landing us our first home at a price we were happy with. Teddy's attention to detail and genuine care for his clients makes him a fantastic agent. If we ever decide to move in the future, we'll know who to call!" - Adam Eckstein

★★★★★
"We left NYC and had to sell our co-op in the midst of Covid-19 when the market was difficult for sellers. Teddy worked tirelessly to prepare our apartment in our absence as well as marketing and showing it. In spite of the difficult conditions, we were happy with the price we got, and really impressed with Teddy's commitment to us. I can't recommend him highly enough." - Louis S.

★★★★★
"I couldn't have asked for a better guru than Teddy throughout the process of selling my apartment. From deciding how to prep and stage it, all the way through closing, Teddy had effective, thoughtful, and lightning fast advice. You'll be in good hands with him." - Kareem S.

★★★★★
"Teddy helped us get a great four-person apartment that fulfilled all of our criteria and negotiated a competitive price. He was extremely reactive in a fast-moving market, yet always patient and helpful, especially considering that my roommates and I were all abroad while conducting the search. He was responsive and answered all of our questions clearly and thoroughly, taking care of making the process as easy as possible. Overall, Teddy is an exceptional broker. He is diligent, attentive and available and I highly recommend him." - Isabella A.
