Lawrence Hakimi

Lawrence came recommended through a friend and he did not disappoint! We had found our property online so my initial thought was that we did not need an agent, but oh how wrong I was! Lawrence guided us through every step of the way and fought with our interest in mind every single time. He was invaluable in not only getting our own questions answered but also pushing to get answers from the seller and their agent. It was great to have a buffer between ourselves and the seller especially during the uncomfortable conversations and requests. There was a delicate period during our closing where Lawrence was in contact with the seller almost everyday, unbeknownst to us, Lawrence was very sick during this time but not only did he not tell us, he was fighting for us even harder! Everyone says buying a home is a pain, but thanks to Lawrence, it was a very simple and stress free process.

Lawrence was extremely helpful, professional, and patient during our buying process. He had a huge amount of knowledge about NYC real estate, especially about properties in the areas we were looking. He was incredibly responsive at all hours of the day and went above and beyond to answer every question we had, keeping us expertly informed during every step our 4-month process. When things went awry, he did his best to facilitate solutions as quickly as possible, and acted as an expert advisor before, during, and even after our purchase. We'd highly recommend Lawrence as an agent if you're looking to buy a property in NYC.

First time buyer here. Didn't even know where to start to find an agent and came across Lawrence's excellent reviews. With hopes and worries of finding an agent exclusively through the internet, we asked Lawrence to be our agent in early-mid 2022. Long story short, I cannot be any happier with the decision we made! Lawrence has been amazing throughout our 1 year long journey -- very responsive to our endless questions and highly knowledgeable about the process and nearby area. He always gave us his best and honest opinion on matters and we could count on him. Our journey ended up being months longer than other people, but he has been a great, reliable agent till the very last moment. The property we signed for was delayed for months and the mortgage rate was rising. He was always on top of things to help me figure out the current status of the building, mortgage plan Bs and what to do to expedite closing. Thanks to him we ended up having one of the earlier closings in the building and saved another mortgage rate increase. I do not have any experience with other agents, but I will not hesitate a second recommending Lawrence to my friends. Highly recommended. Thank you again Lawrence, and it almost feels nostalgic that our journey together ended. Hope to work with you in near future!

Lawrence was amazing assisting us with the purchase of our condo. We got in touch with Lawrence as we were starting to think about a purchase later in the year. He listened to our interests and showed us a few locations to start getting a sense of our preferences. He was never pushy and always offered great guidance during our search, tailoring our next showings based on the feedback we provided. He was always available to chat and give updates. It was not too long before Lawrence showed us a place that checked all our boxes, and we knew we had to make an offer! During the negotiation process, Lawrence was key to building our strategy and getting to a price we were very happy with. When it came time to build our team with lender and attorney, his recommendations guided us to even more amazing, helpful people that made the whole process feel smooth. Lawrence was the best and I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking!

Working with Lawrence was the best experience I could've asked for. As a first time buyer, the process went quickly and smoothly. I am grateful to have had Lawrence help me throughout the process, even post-closing to tie up loose ends. He is knowledgable and responds to emails/texts quickly. He handled much of the communication with other parties throughout the process so there was less for me to worry about and I could trust I had someone reliable, experienced, and thorough on my side.
