We have used Ian to sell, to buy, and to buy again! He's a great agent, diligent and straight-talking. I have appreciated his knowledge, understanding, and real estate approach. We have used two other agents in the past, and ever since we found Ian we will stay with him and continue to recommend him to everyone we know. He's simply fantastic.

Wendy made the buying process extremely easy every step of the way. My initial discussions with her helped me to understand what was involved, and how to best target my search to find what was right for me. I was not in the area during the search process and she went out of her way to preview apartments on my behalf. When I visited she showed multiple options all greatly curated and within my price range...

Ian is an incredible real estate agent. He is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything to me as a first time home buyer! He is well respected in the industry (I was even told by the other broker that the reason I got the apt over another offer was because of Ian) and I truly valued his opinion on everything! I can't thank him enough for making the process of buying an apt in NYC su...

I wish I could give Ian more than 5 stars! Over the past several months, he has gone above and beyond to sell my co-op. This was a very complicated sale, and Ian stuck with it through the end. There was a consistent line of communication and transparency that made this daunting process feel easier. Ian is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable in the field, making me feel confident in the recommendatio...

He never once tried to push us above the budget we had...

Five stars are not enough. Cannot say enough about Ian, who is a consummate professional and all-around great guy as well. Ian worked with my husband and me to purchase a new condo and then sell our co-op apartment. He stuck with us for over a year, including a purchase that fell through. He helped us negotiate a great deal on our condo purchase, with sponsor concessions we never would have known to ask ...

He follows through, follows up and keeps in constant communication...

Not only did he immediately start send...
