"Ani Messikian is an exceptional partner in the home buying process! She’s smart, detail oriented, knowledgeable, attentive, fair and patient. There were many houses that she knew would be wrong for our family, but would indulge my irrational need to see them, all the while doing the quiet due diligence required to get the house that we actually wanted! She’s a pleasure to work with, never imposing a timeframe on us for rash decisions, never letting us fall into gimmicks, traps or flips, and nothing ever fell through the cracks with her! I can’t recommend highly enough!"

"My husband and I are incredibly grateful to have worked with Ani Messikian from Compass. Her passion for real estate was evident from the start, and it truly made a difference in our home buying journey. Ani is not only knowledgeable about the market but also patient beyond measure. We must have changed our minds a dozen times, but she never once showed an ounce of frustration. Instead, she guided us with understanding and shared her wealth of experience, enlightening us about the market and helping us make informed decisions. Throughout our year-long search for a home, in the entire process, from searching to closing, Ani was there to guide us, answer our questions, and negotiate on our behalf. She remained unwaveringly patient and supportive, even as we changed our budget and the style of house we were looking for multiple times.If you're looking for a realtor who is passionate, patient, and dedicated to her clients, and also who will stand by you no matter how long it takes, Ani is the one for you!"

She's not just about making a sale; she's all about making sure you're happy and comfortable throughout the process. From start to finish, Ani was there for us. Her communication was impeccable, and her dedication made it feel like we were her only clients. In short, if you're thinking of buying or selling, you absolutely need Ani on your side. Thanks a million, Ani, for making this whole experience so fantastic!"

"Ani was the perfect match as a real estate agent for my husband and I as first time home-buyers. She helped us navigate a crazy market with bidding wars, multiple offers, climbing interest rates, etc. She was so patient with us explaining the process and always gave us the best advice. She really understood exactly what we were looking for in a home, was knowledgeable about the various Bergen County towns we were considering, and always made herself available as soon as a home hit the market that fit our criteria. We would have been truly lost without her! I highly recommend Ani to anyone looking for a Bergen County expert! "- Matt & Brooke

"We can’t recommend Ani enough. She was kind and compassionate when I listed my house of 50+ years. It was a difficult move for me, and she was understanding and let me move at my own pace. Because she is a resident of Glen Rock, she had the best knowledge of the town and surrounding area, including the excellent schools. Whenever there was something that needed attention, she was always there. When our clean-out guy bailed, she had contacts immediately available. In a tough market, I was thrilled how quickly the house sold. Ani is exactly who I needed. " Jane Cannan

"When we decided in the Spring of 2019 to relocate back to the US after my international assignment, my firm's relocation service provider recommended Ani Messikian's service to help us find a new home. Ani is a certified international relocation advisor, which I understand only highly experienced agents are qualified for. But the certification doesn't even begin to tell you what a wonderful agent Ani is. First of all, she is super responsive. We were still overseas when we first contacted her, so we had to rely on email/text to communicate. Yet our communication didn’t miss a beat despite of being in different time zones, because Ani was always accessible and invariably got back to us quickly. Secondly, she is a good listener and strives to truly understand client needs. We had to start screening for properties before we were physically on the ground, so we relied heavily on Ani for the property search after explaining to her what we were looking for at what price range. Her recommendations were typically spot on, and instead of just handing over a list, she always added thoughtful commentaries to guide us. It helps too that Ani has a great perspective on the local market, being a long-time Bergen County resident and knowing the neighborhoods in Ridgewood/Glen Rock area like the back of her hand! Thirdly, Ani truly goes the extra mile for clients. When we needed help checking for underground oil tank, she found us a reputable testing company and scheduled appointment on our behalf as quickly as possible. When we had difficulty getting the seller to respond to our inquiry, she proactively went to the township and obtained records which answered our question. And lastly, certainly not the least, Ani is the consummate professional. She was not only masterful in her knowledge of the market, properties and the transaction processes, but also in how she dealt with all parties involved – respectful, honest, and professional. We found a lovely home and completed the purchase quickly with plenty of time left before the start of new school year – which would not have been possible without Ani’s help. Thank you Ani and we hope more people will discover for themselves what an amazing agent you are." - Melvin

"We cannot praise Ani highly enough. From the day we met her at a listing for another house she was selling, we could always count her professionalism, responsiveness, and knowledgeability to guide us through the home buying process. We reviewed dozens of listings with her and never did she display any impatience; her presence was only helpful and positive throughout this process. We are glad to have worked with her and look forward to enlisting her help again when the time comes to look for our next home" - Aaron

"My sister and I interviewed several real estate professionals prior to selecting Ani Messikian to sell our mothers home. Ani stood out among several agents due to her professionalism, sense of humor and her knowledge of the area. Since my sister and I both live outside of NJ, it was important for us to work with someone that delivered on promises made during our interviews. Without question, Ani over-delivered on her promises. Here are a few examples: - Should have listened to her suggested market value. We received 3 offers within a week of pricing based on her recommendation. - Agents often say "we have buyers interested in your home....." to get a listing. Ani delivered on this promise and one eventually purchased the home. - Ani represented both the buyer and seller for our transaction and she handle everything professionally and fairly. She was ethical and open about representing both parties. - Ani did an excellent job of staging and made several suggestions on improving the appeal of the home in a way not to offend my sister and I. This was truly appreciated. - Since we were out of town, Ani on several occasions helped suggest sub-contractors for some minor repairs and took time to make the home available to the subs, including the town inspection. - Ani was always pro-active communicating status of showings, feedback from buyers and updates on the closing. If your thinking about selling your home, I would highly recommend talking to Ani before you make a final decision on selecting a Real Estate professional. THANKS ANI !!!"

"It was a great experience working with Ani! I would highly recommend her to anyone. We were first time buyers, and Ani guided us throughout the entire transaction with such care and professionalism. Ani was super responsive to all of our questions, made us feel comfortable every step of the way and went above and beyond in making this stressful process as smooth and painless as possible. Ani understood the importance of getting us our first house and followed up on all angles possible to ensure that we would be able to attain our new home. She kept us informed, educated us on the process (which we certainly needed!), and continues to follow up with us. I can't thank her enough. I agree with everyone else who has given Ani five stars. She gives 100% - She is all about integrity and excellence and is extremely detailed and patient. I really can't imagine getting any better service than this."

"We bought a house in Glen Rock, NJ with the help from Ani. Before choosing her, we had tried other agent who was great but didn't have specific knowledge about Glen Rock and she was surprised to see properties here going to bidding war. We made offer on 4 houses but none worked out. We had to move on rent since we couldn't buy considering our collective lack of knowledge(ours and previous agent's) of the area. That is when we looked into local agents records of buying and selling. We talked to Ani, felt comfortable in telling our needs and started our research again. She was always timely in sending listings, telling if it's a hot property or not, if it's a good investment or not, showing those as soon as those came in market, even before open houses. Finally, we liked a property, made an offer which initially got rejected because it was lower than the other offer. That is when her experience and local knowledge came into big play, she adviced a route, we all took our chances and made another better offer. Luckily, it got accepted this time, and we moved on to attorney review and then under contract. We knew that the process could be stressful when we are putting our terms; seller putting their terms; and communication between attorneys , agents, buyer and seller; inspections; appraisal; town requirements and what not . But I must say it went smoothly with Ani on top of everything, not loosing patience even when sellers agent was rude at times. Finally we have a house that we love. Just thank you isn't enough for what Ani has helped us achieve!!"
