Chris and Nora are a terrific team. They are well-researched and have a deep network. There are no other brokers who have the same level of residential real estate market knowledge and expertise. Most importantly, these two are reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy people. They have been our broker for both buying and selling multiple properties in Manhattan, and we have referred both friends and family to them. All have had a great experience. I can’t imagine working with anyone else. - Severn T

“When we met with Nora and Christopher at a cafe for the first time, what we noticed was not only were they experts in their fields, we immediately felt how authentic and genuine they were to help us find our home. What we loved the most was how accessible they both were. Always timely with email correspondence and they knew how to work together as team to accommodate our schedules. Nothing beats having two brokers always available for any questions or showings. They walked us through the entire process as this was our first time buying. Nora has a deep understanding of Manhattan real estate and neighborhoods. Christopher is the expert in Brooklyn, and provided us with a perspective of starting a new family outside of Manhattan. With so much access online to view the availability of apartments we were able to do our own searches and get their immediate feedback. Many times they had personally seen the units or knew the reputation of the Developers. That knowledge was so valuable.

They also connected us with other colleagues to help us through all the legal paperwork and it truly was so seamless. They gave us endless hours to finish our closing checklist. We have recommended several of our friends to them already! These two are truly a great team, and spending much of your weekends with them is easy when they are also such great people! We love our new home in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.” - Hercy and Dag

"As first time home buyers, we were pretty green when it came to the whole process. Christopher and Nora took the time to explain all the nuances with buying a co-op in NYC and were patient with our never-ending questions. We felt confident that we had people on our side who had our best interest in mind and trusted their guidance. We would absolutely recommend Christopher and Nora and will be using them again when it comes time to sell." - Michelle and Brian D.
