★★★★★
“I can honestly say that it was a pleasure to work with the Barak / Blackburn team at Compass when I sold my condo in Brooklyn last year. The team came highly recommended from a trusted friend in the industry, and when I met them in person I was impressed with their knowledge of the area and many years experience. The sale of my condo wound up being complicated and took many months because of issues with the building in which I owned. I was so grateful through the entire process to have partners in the entire Barak / Blackburn team guiding me through every step in the sale and every complicated decision to make along the way. Christine, in particular, was incredibly generous with her time and advice, and helped lift my spirits at times when things were particularly challenging. I am so grateful to her and the entire team for their unfailing commitment and optimism about selling my apartment. In the end I wound up getting an all cash deal and everything worked out with the sale and the closing beautifully. I couldn't have been happier with the result! If you want to work with real professionals who know the real estate business inside and out, and who have advise you can trust, I recommend working with the Barak / Blackburn team.” - Peter H.

★★★★★

“I've known the Barak/Blackburn team for quite a few years, and they always rise to excellence.My friend, Marlon James, an established author, told me in mid December 2017 that he has been looking for a place in NYC for over 6 months (!) and haven't found the right place, yet. He was looking for a place where he could live comfortably, work on his upcoming back, and pay a fair price. I, immediately, knew that the Barak/Blackburn team would solve his quest. And indeed, the agent showed him 4 places in one day, and he texted me: "Thank you for the introduction. I Love them all" Today, Jan. 9th. 2018 he signed the lease!” - Rafael F.
