"I worked with Amanda when purchasing a home in New York, and I can't recommend her highly enough.

We started unsure about my own goals--whether to rent or to buy, and she helped me reason through the decision using both data from the market and a thoughtful examination of my preferences and lifestyle. When it came to buying--which itself was fraught with considerations (neighborhood, size, need to renovate, and more)--she brought the same rigor to helping me determine what we should be looking for.

And when it finally came to making an offer, she took a very data-driven, informed approach, so much so that we achieved what I thought was the optimal outcome (seller hesitation because of multiple bids that were close but eventually a win for us--we got the result we wanted but not by overpaying too much).

And both before and after close, she and her team were incredibly helpful in my getting set up in a new city--everything from figuring out utilities to great partners (legal, general contracting, and otherwise). 

Navigating all of this from the opposite coast would have been incredibly challenging, but Amanda made it almost effortless."

"I worked with Amanda over the course of two transactions, both a purchase (Greenwich Village) and a sale (UWS) during COVID, which was obviously a little stressful. I went to Amanda because of her extensive knowledge of the real estate market, and specifically, the UWS, and I was not disappointed. Somehow she was able to do both the purchase and sale during the spring and summer of 2020. 

Amanda was extremely enjoyable to work with. She was patient and understanding throughout both transactions. I highly recommend her."

"We have been working with Amanda and her team for over a decade. Amanda held our hands through the purchase of our very first apartment in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and helped us strategically sell the same apartment 10 years later. 

We love working with Amanda, as she is candid, kind, and incredibly experienced. Amanda would never tell us anything she doesn't know to be 100% true. Instead, she will research whatever the topic may be, whether it is neighborhood comps, financing, or the state of the market, and get back to us within hours with a new extraordinary depth of insider knowledge of the current situation.  

All of her experience aside, Amanda is a lovely human and someone that we adore spending time with!"

"Happy to recommend Amanda and her team, Amanda was a pleasure to work with and her insights--from staging, to pricing. to negotiating--were spot on and invaluable in the sale of our condo. We were concerned about listing in an uncertain market, but Amanda navigated it expertly!"
