I spoke with Valerie on the phone prior to meeting her and instantly had great chemistry. I showed her pictures, explained what I like, and gave her my price range. Not only was she able to find my dream apartment, but also a gem I can truly call home. I am forever grateful and would recommend Valerie to anyone searching for a home

As a first-time home buyer, Adam was a godsend. Buying real estate in New York is complicated, and this being my first major financial purchase, I was nervous and apprehensive about the process. With Adam's assistance, my worries were unfounded. Adam quickly demonstrated his knowledge and familiarity with upper Manhattan. After a few discussions, Adam had a very good idea as to the kind of home I thought I wanted and he showed us many potential listings. But it turns out Adam knew better than I did as to what I was looking for. He showed me a listing for an apartment that did not meet all my requirements, and I decided to give it a chance. As soon as I stepped inside, I fell in love with the place, and the rest is history.The service Adam provided was outstanding. He guided me step-by-step through the application process (which was extensive), and he was incredibly responsive to any questions I had through either e-mail or phone. He was meticulous with follow-up, but not overly so as he knew I worked a demanding job. He even took the time to sit down with me to prepare for my board interview. Through his network of contacts, Adam was able to provide me with referrals for everything I needed. Throughout it all, Adam worked tirelessly to make sure our end of the deal went smoothly. He was endlessly patient and provided reassurance when needed, especially when the process stalled due to COVID-19. I highly recommend Adam without hesitation.

Valerie has been my broker the last 3 times I have moved. I have loved every place Ive lived and highly recommend working with her. Valerie has a wide knowledge of NYC and is tremendously patient. She will pull tons of listings, if youre like me and want to see everything, and will advise against places she knows are not suited for her clients. She has a go-getter attitude and is never frustrated by requests. She is friendly, responsive, and a hard worker. Valerie is not pushy and truly wants what is best for her clients.

Adam spent 2 years with me looking for the best 2BR deal in Hamilton Heights and I am forever grateful to him for his perseverance, astute attention to detail, and in-depth knowledge of the Harlem market and the HDC and HDFC process. When I first spoke to him on the phone about an HDFC listing, I trusted immediately - he knew the ins and outs of that building - and after speaking with him, it was clear that he took no shortcuts into understanding what it takes to purchase the right home. (Note, I later stopped looking at HDFC's....) Adam is fair, kind, and carries a robust history of the Hamilton Heights area, which really made me fall in love with this part of the city. Today, I consider myself very lucky to have the home I have - and I truly credit that to Adam. He took the time to understand what I needed and found the best buildings possible so that I can make the right investment.

I have met so many rental and sales brokers since I've lived in New York and almost all of them have just wasted my time. Then I met Adam.I have been blown away by his dedication, honesty and passion for what he does. He has gone above and beyond what I ever expected of a broker. His knowledge of neighborhoods, properties and the real estate market in general is second to none, he will be completely honest with you about all aspects of the buying or rental process, he will be patient with you as you decide what to do and never put any pressure on you and you can rest assured he has your best interests at heart. I will never use another broker in New York City.

Adam was highly recommended to me as the Washington/ Hamilton Heights specialist! And, I was not disappointed. I had read in the NYT that this is an area where you still can find a "bargain" but did not know this part at all. The first time I met Adam he gave me an extensive history tour of the area. He had picked a few apartments and asked me a lot of questions. He quickly realized what I need. It took only three Sundays and he found a Condo in my price range. Adam guided me through the whole process. His finance background and eye for detail helped closing the deal even in Covid-19 times. Adam is the best!

Instinct, expertise, professionalism and responsiveness. Its what I appreciate the most about Valerie Obregon. First off aEUR" and this is hugeaEUR" Valerie answers her phone. In a time when almost everyone lets their calls go to voicemail, this personal touch was an unexpected professional surprise. When I explained that I was calling from London, England, Valerie proposed we do all our exchanges via WhatsApp, the most preferred mode of communication internationally. Having communicated with other NYC realtors almost exclusively by email, this was a reassuring indication to me that Valerie has experience and knowledge catering to international clients. I didnt know the NYC rental market at all. Valerie almost immediately nixed the properties on my short list and based on our short conversation, came up with additional parameters that would better suit me. By the time my plane landed in NY on a Monday night, Valerie had sent me a schedule for the next days viewings based on everything I had sent her from my own research. The next morning and after only a few hours together, Valerie added appointments, adjusted the schedule and cancelled viewings based on what shed learned about me as her client. With the added complexity of the pandemic, Valerie used her knowledge of the vastly changed market to negotiate deftly on my behalf. By Thursday I had keys in hand for a property I love.Valerie puts her clients first. She anticipates and prioritises their needs. Shes works to an international clients tight timelines. She understands the market. She delivers. Valerie Obregon is the exactly the type of realty professional you want in your corner aEUR" one I'm more than happy to praise, commend, and recommend.

Ben helped us find the perfect home. We feel lucky to have heard him speak at a first time homebuyers conference. But, we really hit the jackpot when Ben found us our home complete with a bedroom that fits a KING bed, a dining room fit for a dinner party, laundry in-unit, and 1 1/2 bathrooms! His confidence, approachability, and consistent communication made us feel comfortable as first time homebuyers. Ben made time for us, brought his kids along for the ride, cheered us up when our offer was not accepted, and scoured search engines to find us our dream home. Because of Ben, we have our perfect family home...and in time for our first child. Ben was an absolute pleasure to work with. Without hesitation, we will be referring Ben to family and friends.

Mick is a professional and great to work with. Right from the start, Mick is incredibly responsive and patient. We were first time buyers and he took the time to explain each piece of the process and never made us feel rushed. Further, during the uncertainty of Covid, he kept us regularly updated and provided comfort in a sometimes stressful process.
