Yury Holohan

★★★★★
"Yury is an exceptional broker. I was challenged with a mountain of paperwork requirements as a business owner to qualify for my loan. And Yury was steadfast and supportive through it all. She pointed me to the perfect lender for my situation and explained the process in simple terms that was very reassuring. And all along I felt she was persistent in protecting my interest on several fronts. I truly credit her diplomacy and savvy business sense for saving the deal when the bank appraisal came in $14k less than what I offered the seller. Yury negotiated a revised price and made me a very happy client. "- Edmund S.

"Beginning our home search in the Summer of 2021 seemed optimistic. Covid was dying down, but “pandemic-pricing” in NYC seemed to be lasting into the summer. The city was alive and well, and houses were ripe for the picking. But, as we browsed Streeteasy late into that summer, listings started to disappear faster and faster. By the time we officially started looking in the Fall of 2021, “best and final” seemed to be the norm. That’s when we came into contact with Yury Holohan. Immediately, Yury made us feel like we were in the right hands. She made us fully aware of the difficult situation we were walking into, but assured us she would not rest until we found a home. With interest rates at an all time low, and inventory seemingly cut in half in a matter of weeks, home sales were entering into contract hours after they were listed. Yury guided us through the neighborhoods of interest, made sure apartments were available to view at our convenience, and always showed up with the most positive attitude. Sure, we lost out on a few, but by the next day, Yury had a whole new set of listings for us, and back on the hunt we went. When we found our home in Chelsea, Yury moved swiftly and efficiently, never missing a step, and we closed in 30 days. It could not have gone smoother. I would recommend Yury Holohan to anyone looking for their next home. She always operated with the highest level of respect, professionalism, and kindness one could ask for. Even once we closed and her work was finished, she continued to check in and make sure we were happy. It was more than a job for her, she really cares about her clients. When the time comes for me to look for another home, or refer anyone to a broker looking to navigate the complex NYC housing market, I would look no further than Yury Holohan of Compass.

"Yury is a professional and trustworthy real estate agent. We first approached Yury because of an interesting listing that she had. Although it was already sold when we called her, she took the time and effort to understand our needs, and continued to send us relevant resources and listings for a fairly long period of time. We built a strong connection with her while visiting and negotiating several potential transactions. When we decided to list our own property for sale, we hired her immediately because we were very appreciative of her dedication over the past months for showings. It was the best decision we made. Yury is very familiar with New York City. She understands what exactly a listing agent needs to accomplish and jumps on the tasks right away. My husband and I have worked with many agents in the past and owns several properties. By far Yury is the best we've seen. She guided us well during the transaction, kept very good relationship with potential buyers, buyers' agents and attorneys. She was also very affirmative on pricing strategy. She kept track of all the details and followed up and through if needed. We were extremely impressed with her ability to strategize the transaction, to pre-empt and resolve issues, and to close the deal. We thank her very much for helping us to sell our apartment right when COVID hit in Spring 2020, when the market was trending down. Yury is very reliable and we highly recommend her is anyone who needs to list and sell their property in New York City.""- Joyce S.

"I love Yury! I met Yury during one of her open houses and I am so glad I did! She was very attentive to what I was shopping for and also sent me listings on the periphery of my parameters to make sure I had a more complete picture of the market in my price range. As we toured listings together and strategized over listing prices and putting together offers, Yury was indisposable with her wealth of knowledge of market trends and insider connections. Thanks to Yury, I was the first one in the door of a condo in my price range in my preferred neighborhood that was not yet publicly listed. Knowing I was a newcomer to the NYC real estate market/carnival, Yury then expertly assembled the necessary help I needed to complete the transaction and pushed the deal through before any other potential buyers had a chance. She even tipped me off to a 0.5% drop in my mortgage interest rate mere days before the closing date! Thanks to Yury, I was able to close on my condo in the nick of time -- one week before the pandemic shut down all in-person transactions and sent everybody home to quarantine. The only way I kept my sanity in the city through the pandemic was having a safe haven of my own -- all thanks to Yury! Without her, I would still be looking for a home. I whole-heartedly recommend Yury if you are even remotely interested in looking for a home in the city, but especially if you are new to the fast-paced and highly competitive world of NYC real estate like I was!""- Amanda T.

"After 12 years, two kids, and a pandemic in our first apartment, it was time to look for my husband and I to look for a larger space. We knew Yury from the neighborhood and reached out to casually ask a few questions. Yury listened to what we needed, listened to what we wanted, and put together an assortment of listings that fit our criteria. She was patient and took her time with us through a listing. She never said no, even if she knew that space wasn’t going to work for us. She ultimately found the perfect home for us, in our desired neighborhood. She negotiated on our behalf with emotionally attached sellers, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome."-L.K

"Once we realized it was time to sell our first apartment, Yury was there to help. She provided a thorough market analysis of recently sold and on-market one-bedroom apartments in Chelsea. Knowing our intention to update the apartment, she informed us of Compass’ Concierge program (interest-free loan towards home improvements). She introduced us to a trustworthy and reasonable contractor. Once the work was complete, she helped us find a professional and affordable staging company. She took beautiful photos and got our apartment listed. We couldn’t be more pleased with the entire process – thanks to Yury!"-L.K

"Yury helped us get our first rental apt together as a couple 6 years ago so she was the first and only broker we wanted to work with for when we decided to buy. Yury was an expert in the market and was able to also hand hold us through this process as first-time home buyers. This was also during a very complicated time to buy in the city with rising interest/mortgage rates and high demand with so little supply. Yury not only helped us navigate this but also gave fantastic referrals for attorneys and banks. We went with her connections and have never regretted it. Five months into the apt hunt we found a perfect first home! Thank you to Yury for being there with us during this entire process and for your commitment and optimism along the way. We really could not have done it without you!! We highly recommend Yury to anyone looking to buy - you not only will be working with her but her expert connections and broader team."-Carolyn, Scott& Butters

"Yury has supported me through multiple life stages during her time with Compass. She guided me into the perfect starter apartment, a furnished studio with plentiful amenities in Madison Square Park when I had just turned twenty and moved up to New York City with an ambition to start a career in fashion. From there, she helped me navigate purchasing and renovating a 1 BR co-op apartment during the highly volatile covid real estate market. And, again she's in the works of helping me plan my next move in life as I'm ready to start a new chapter with family and work in mind. In these 8 years of living situations, I have received countless kind messages or special surprise letters in my mailbox from Yury. She is such an amazing, knowledgeable, and talented broker but also just such a genuinely pleasant human to be around. She's realistic, listens to your needs, and solves problems when they arise. Yury genuinely wishes the best for her clients and the same goes from us to her."-Kat

"As an agent, Yury is one of the most professional agents with decades of experience in the real estate industry. She knows the market so well that she can always provide a fair estimate of the price and let you decide how much you want to offer. She is also really good at negotiating and familiar with all the documents needed. That saved me a lot of time! As a person, she is the most caring, sweet, and strong woman! She even helped me find contractors for renovation and recommended a company for my apartment cleaning. Yury helped me get my first home! Which really means a lot to me. I highly recommend her. She will help make your dream come true!""-Janet
