Client Testimonials
Andy is an amazing agent hands down,both on the buy and sell side! I?ve met Andy when I first bought my 1br condo in Long Island City about 10 years ago as he was the condo?s agent.We kept in touch and I recently reached out to him as I was looking to sell my condo as well as to buy a 2 br condo in the same Long Island City area The process went very smoothly,a big part because of his tremendous knowledge,expertise,and at the same time a personal touch that he brought to the process He knew about apt listings that weren? t even on the market and that?s how I found my apt! My 1br condo sold during the first open house weekend and he was then able to quickly find a 2 br condo that met most of the items on the wishlist He knows how to negotiate,and is quite fair on both sides,and I appreciated his efforts in making the buying and selling process a stress free experience! I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking in the real estate market! Thanks,Aaron.
Andy is absolutely wonderful to work with It?s like having a friend on the ?inside?that is working for you He really cares about his clients as well as the community and neighborhood he lives in Made buying a house such a breeze! I was new to home buying,and have heard horror stories from friends and family about terrible agents Andy was professional and personal! He never made me feel uncomfortable and helped me every step of the way! Went beyond the call of duty for my height challenged partner I wouldn? t work with anyone else
When I was looking to buy a home I reached out to Andy and from the start received the most professional,honest,highest level of service I could ever ask for Andy listened to all of the needs I was looking for in the Tri-state area he understood the markets and where the best value is and also future appreciation.He understood the laws,on top of all of the nitty details I would never know.My family and I settled on our dream home in Greenwich,Ct and we honestly could not be happier.Andy was always responsive on all of our needs and I could not imagine using anyone to either buy or sell my home.Highly recommend using Andy for all of your real estate needs.
