-Shivapriya B.

Great experience with James and the team. I highly recommend it.

Vicky made my apartment hunt an absolute breeze. She was proactive in sending me available options and scheduling tours. Her knowledge and expertise made the application process incredibly smooth. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to move within the New York area!
-Andrew H.

Great team and thank you James for your support and commitment throughout the process. It was a pleasure working with you.
-Cedric A.

Buying or renting a place can be incredibly stressful, but with The Finelli Team, all that anxiety is eliminated. James and Victoria are two gems in the world of realty. They have gone above and beyond in all aspects of my real estate wishes. They answer my emails and calls promptly and are ready to address any questions I have from documentation to general concerns in a timely and informative manner. Whether you are new to New York or a seasoned veteran, The Finelli Team is the ideal solution to your rental or buying needs.
-Prina P.

James has represented me for the sale of my 7-unit new condo development in Bed-Stuy. Due to his advisement, we were able to achieve the highest PPSF of any similar new dev in the neighborhood. He has contributed tremendously to the success of this project and I cannot thank him enough. Since then, I have given him several other projects including a multifamily building sale in Bushwick and my newest luxury condo building in Greenpoint. I highly recommend James and I look forward to working with him for many more years to come.
-Roei P.

I highly recommend James Finelli to anyone in search of a dedicated and knowledgeable realtor who truly cares about their clients' needs. With James by your side, you can trust that you're in the best hands possible.
-Simon I.

James did an outstanding job helping us both in rentals and sales. He is very easy to work with and very good at what he does.
-Nir V.

I had the pleasure of working with James as my real estate broker, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. From the very beginning, it was clear that I was in the hands of a professional. James got me an amazing deal on a condo in Williamsburg Brooklyn. A year later I decided to rent this condo and James was able to find a great tenant in a matter of days. If you're looking for a real estate broker who combines expertise, dedication, and a genuine passion for helping clients find their perfect home, I highly recommend him!
-Ben F.

I had the pleasure of working with James on a number of properties including a rental and a sale. He truly exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, his professionalism and dedication were evident. He listened attentively to my needs and preferences, ensuring that every property was handled properly.
What truly set James apart was his in-depth knowledge of the market. He provided valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire process, making sure I was well-informed and confident in my decisions. His attention to detail and thoroughness in explaining every step of the process made the experience incredibly smooth.
Overall, I am very pleased with the high-quality service James provided. I wholeheartedly recommend his services.
-Allon Y.

"We'll do the heavy lifting for you"

The Finelli Team represents buyers, sellers, developers, investors, and landlords across New York City, servicing both residential and commercial markets. The team built its business representing one of the largest privately held portfolios in the city, and that work remains central to the practice today, alongside a thriving sales business focused on condo and co-op resales and ground-up new developments. The team successfully manages hundreds of transactions each year, which furthers their understanding of pricing and demand in this dynamic market. 

The team focuses its business throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn and LIC with a thoughtful, strategic approach tailored for every client's unique position. They understand that first-time buyers, growing families, seasoned investors, international purchasers, developers, and landlords all have their own unique constraints and definitions of a good outcome. The team also maintains a deep branch of adjacent professionals, including architects, general contractors, plumbers, electricians, and home inspectors. Whatever issue arises before, during, or after closing, they leverage their experience, network, and resources to find a solution and keep things moving forward.

Having extensive experience representing both buyers and sellers, the team sees every transaction from both sides of the table. On new development projects, the team has partnered with sponsors on pricing, positioning, marketing, building design, and sales strategy from pre-construction through sellout. They pride themselves on using the latest technology in the industry to allow them to manage a variety of transactions no matter what scale. 

After years of building lasting relationships, the majority of the team’s business comes from referrals and repeat clients. The Finelli Team was ranked among the Top 1.5% of real estate agents and teams nationwide by RealTrends in 2026, has ranked among StreetEasy’s top performers by sales transactions since 2023, and is regularly featured in The Real Deal and other major outlets for its market expertise.
