Quotes from clients:

Mark did so much for me - over and above the actual sale of my apartment - and I now consider him to be a good friend as well as a superb real estate professional. I have, and will continue to, recommend him highly to anyone seeking any real estate assistance. Miriam R.

Mark was the first agent who knew exactly what had to be done, knew how to do it--and carried everything off with perfect execution. The whole process was speedy, efficient and most of all, pleasant (as pleasant as these things can be) and rewarding. Mark is without question the very best agent I have ever dealt with. He is trustworthy, knowledgeable and always available for consultation. He brings nothing less than his A game to the table at all times. Robert R.

Looking for an apartment is no fun. Mark made it fun and enjoyable. I have already recommended him to my friends. Matthew M.

Mark was amazing throughout the entire process. He was particularly excellent during the closing process where we encountered a few obstacles. We are so pleased with Mark that we have already recommended him to a family friend and will happily send more potential clients to him. Doris and Terence Z

I had an exceptional experience working with Mark & Richard and recommend them to anyone and everyone looking to buy in NYC.

They have a deep knowledge of the unique NYC market and since this was my first time purchasing in the city, I was super grateful to be navigating my purchase with them. They were able to explain things to me simply, ask the questions I didn’t think to ask, and really went to bat for me during all stages of the process.

They went above and beyond, collaborating effortlessly with my entire family. Behind the scenes, their hard work transformed my dream of owning the perfect apartment into a reality.

Mark and Richard made this stressful process into something fun. I love my apartment, but I am also sad that I don’t get to see this team anymore. They really took the time to get to know me and what my dream apartment would be like. We would walk into a unit and exchange “a look”. It was almost like shopping with an old friend where you can read each other instantly. They would answer my emails and texts right away and looked high and low for the perfect spot. They were honest with me about prices, locations, and were able to put themselves in my shoes.

Out of all the agents in NYC… this team is the best option and I was lucky to have them by my side. – Chelsea G.
