Client Feedback

"Sarah Buff is a fabulous agent and then some. She is thoughtful, professional and strategic. Indeed, thanks to her my apartment went for a substantial sum above the asking price, which I attribute to her extensive knowledge of the NYC real estate market, as well as her careful research into the particulars of my neighborhood. Equally important was Sarah's real finesse in dealing with a difficult co-op board. She is charming, precise and detail oriented. In sum, I think she is the bee's knees, and I wouldn't consider buying or selling another apartment in NYC without her." – Donna M.

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Sarah as the broker for the sale of my Upper West Side coop. She is very experienced and knowledgeable on market trends. Sarah helped connect me with a stager, arranged for high quality photos/videos and helped strategize on the ideal time to list my apartment. I listed my apartment at an optimal price and received an offer at full ask within 1 week, despite being in a rather cool market for the Upper West Side. Everything went smoothly all the way through closing. Sarah has a pleasant demeanor, was always responsive and made me feel at ease throughout the whole selling process. I could not recommend her enough!” Josh S.

"Sarah’s negotiating skills, ability to empathize, resourcefulness, tact and sensitivity when working with others never faltered during the sale of our home. Showing an apartment that is occupied by tenants is surely challenging, but Sarah managed to do it with seeming ease, and with the tenants’ cooperation and good will as well! Sarah also connected us to several important business resources that have been excellent recommendations, and extremely useful to us. We are forever grateful to Sarah for making sure that our closing proceeded in a timely manner, right before a major holiday, even though others thought that couldn’t be done - another example of her stellar negotiating skills.” – Julie and Tom B.

“Highly skilled, trustworthy, professional, savvy, great instincts, knowledgeable, focused, diligent, highly attuned to the needs of her client as a whole person, honest and direct but also patient and sensitive. Great troubleshooter, artful in problem solving, confident. Has never once lead me astray, protective of my best interests and as I have more and more experience with real estate agents I realize how rare it is for one person to embody so many of these vital qualities. Sarah has it all!” - Lynn G.
