"I have closed two real estate transactions in Manhattan, both brokered by Deanna Lloyd of Brown Harris Stevens. The results were the same: smooth, stress-free transactions managed by an experienced, calm, professional and efficient real estate broker. Buy/Sell, co-op or condo, she had the bases covered.
Deanna has a knack for sensing when to give clients space and when to provide timely and sensible advice. She is there for her clients: patiently during the search, however long it takes, during negotiations, whether successful or not, and after the closing, to measure and ensure satisfaction.
I cannot say if I am completely done with the New York real estate market, but I am sure I will contact Deanna Lloyd first if a potential transaction comes up in the future. A pleasure to work with and highly recommended." -CEO, Financial Institution

"We would choose to work with Deanna again in a heartbeat. Deanna is extraordinarily knowledgeable about the NYC housing market, attune to the current market trends, and extremely savvy about how to stage your home. Deanna is organized and thoughtful, which allowed us to proactively anticipate and problem-solve situations before they became issues, and we appreciated her guidance throughout. Deanna was extremely accommodating of our busy schedules and, most importantly, an absolute pleasure to work." -Senior Executive, Hospital of Special Surgery

"It was not difficult for me to decide to select Deanna Lloyd as my broker once I decided to sell my apartment. She had already completed two transactions in my building, and I felt they were handled expertly. When I discussed Deanna as a choice of broker with the two neighbors, they told me that they were extremely satisfied working with her. They appreciated her knowledge, her contacts, her skills at negotiating, and her pleasant manner throughout.
My apartment was in a co-op building and compared to other home sales that I have done over past years, I found it to be a more complex procedure. Deanna was most patient with my questions and gave me satisfactory explanations for the various processes that co-op sales can involve. Deanna has great taste and made suggestions for me to make my apartment appear more spacious and attractive. I truly believe that those changes facilitated the sale. Best of all was that I enjoyed our interactions all along the way, making what might have been a difficult period as pleasant as possible.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Deanna to my family and friends and former neighbors to handle any real estate transactions they may have." -Vice President, Investment Banking Firm

"I’m so thrilled with my new apartment in Tribeca thanks to Deanna. I had been debating buying in New York City for two years and Deanna was patient with me through the entire process. She knew I wanted a perfect fit that I could own and live in for many years to come and we looked at several apartments between Brooklyn and Manhattan. Deanna encouraged me to look at 91 Leonard, a new condo development in Tribeca and I fell in love with the building immediately. With only a few two bedrooms left with the view and exposures I wanted, Deanna helped me navigate the offer process and secure a unique apartment in the building with additional incentives like a storage unit and discounted closing costs. I love my new neighborhood and new home."-Partner, Private Equity Firm

"Deanna proved to be a very detail-oriented and helpful resource to us from our very first conversation. She was the first broker we spoke to who really listened to our search criteria and was very hands-on and thoughtful in all of the steps to follow. Beyond making regular trips out to the North Fork to accompany us on our various visits and our ultimate inspection and closing, Deanna was regularly in touch with us throughout the buying process to help guide us through the various steps required. She was immensely helpful to us as first-time home buyers!" -General Partner, Venture Capital Firm

"I cannot recommend Deanna more highly. She's a tireless worker, extremely accessible and had the knowledge and market savvy to find my husband and me the perfect apartment in Manhattan. Deanna's straightforward and honest approach streamlined the first-time home buying process for us. She tackled questions and problems with answers and solutions and we felt supported throughout the entire experience, from the earliest meetings to the final closing. We could not be happier with our beautiful home!" -Global Brand Communications Executive

"On the strong recommendation of a friend late last year, I engaged Deanna Lloyd to find an apartment in NYC. As a salesperson and a professional, Deanna was first-rate -- thoughtful, extremely responsive and thorough. She very quickly found an apartment that perfectly fit my needs and budget and guided me step by step through the process. Her services, though, went beyond that, acting also as an advisor and friend, helping me find my way around my new neighborhood, and directing me to find the service providers I would need. I cannot recommend her more highly!" -Editor-in-Chief, Cryptocurrency News Site
