What do Clients Say?

We began our search about 6 months into the pandemic. The real estate market in the NYC area is always wild, and things were even more chaotic as the pandemic swirled around us. One of our favorite things about working with Judy was her consistently positive attitude. As first-time home buyers, Judy was able to keep our spirits up while also helping to maintain a realistic outlook. After our initial phone call (we were referred by a friend), we spent an afternoon looking at different properties that spanned the range from move-in ready to a time warp from the 1960s that needed some serious TLC. Judy quickly dialed in on our preferences which made looking at subsequent properties a breeze. While we occasionally ran into situations where homes went off the market before we had a chance to see them, Judy was able to make the most of our trek from Queens so that we could stop by other nearby homes on the fly. In a white-hot market, we knew we would have to act fast when we found a winner, and sure enough we eventually did! Judy’s counsel was invaluable as we worked our way through the initial offer, counter offer, attorney review, all the way to closing day. While she is obviously a polished professional, in our experience working with Judy felt like catching up with an old friend. She has no hidden agenda and empowered us to make our own decisions. Judy’s rolodex is also a huge plus; she has contact info for plenty of mortgage brokers, lawyers, and home inspectors. Buying a home is a stressful process, but Judy was always there to field questions and provide the occasional pep talk. If we ever are in the market again, Judy will be our first phone call. We can’t recommend her enough!

Judy was amazing! I was so grateful for how she went above and beyond for my mom and I. She was so thorough with her time invested into searching for listings, and also provided so much guidance on selling my mom’s home and gave suggestions on renovations before the sale. I believe her suggestions were the reason why my mom was able to sell the home so quickly. Judy was so detailed with the information she gave and made sure the potential buying options had the amenities we wanted. I'm really grateful that my mom and I had such a good experience with buying/selling during COVID, it was all thanks to Judy.

We worked with Judy to sell our rental property. She toured the property, recommended areas to repair and put together a selling strategy to get the maximum traffic during the open house so we could get a variety of buyers and their offers. She did a fantastic job crafting a video to virtually stage non-furnished areas all the while working with our tenants to ensure they were content and comfortable with showings given this very scary COVID times. She advised us which documents had to completed with the county and recommended attorneys to interview. Our sale was not easy as the buyer was delayed several times by their mortgage company (missing closing dates twice!) and Judy tirelessly contacted/followed-up with the buyer agent, buyer attorney and our attorney to ensure everything possible was done to get the sale finalized. She constantly gave us updates on a daily basis and spent time to talk through options on what to do should we need to find a new buyer. She is very knowledgeable from a buyer or seller point of view, has a high sense of honesty and integrity in her role and will literally work night and day as your advocate. If you want someone to be there when you need advice, education and support, I absolutely recommend speaking to Judy before you make any decisions on your next broker representative. Bar none, she will be the one you compare other brokers to!
