What People Are Saying
“Nick is a consummate professional that clearly has passion for his work. I was fortunate to meet Nick years ago when he was the sellers broker when i was purchased a condo, and we became friends instantly. He is genuine, fair, and omnipresent. He stands out among his peers due to his ability to make everyone feel comfortable trading money for value without focusing on the money, which everyone else seems to do. I’m grateful to have him as a friend and recommend him highly to anyone looking for not only the best broker, but a good person that you can trust.”

“Nicholas is one of the best realtors I’ve ever worked with. We met him at an open house and he knew we were novices to the NYC real estate market. He noted what we needed and found us something we’d never have found on our own online. Also helped us with the entire coop board process spending hours preparing our application. We could have never done it without him and those 7+ years we lived in Brooklyn heights were magical. When it came time to sell, his team marketed it beautifully and the one day open house initiated a bidding war where we ended up over asking price.”

“Over the past 8 years involving numerous transactions, Nick has proved to be trustworthy, responsive, reliable, and committed. He is very knowledgeable about the real estate market; his advice has been excellent; and he has provided an honest and objective viewpoint. Nick has proved his diligence in persevering through the most challenging of circumstances and I look forward to working with him in the future.”
