"Simply put - I could not have done it without Beth! I a home-owner because of her and her expertise, intuition and kindness. I began my journey with Beth looking at rental properties on the upper west side...over time, we got to know one another, and she paid close attention to my needs, concerns, hopes. Within a year of showing me apartments, she brought up the prospect of buying. The simple math was there - and it was in my best interest to invest, as opposed to rent. With new direction and inspiration, we embarked on finding the best fit for me. She is wildly efficient, leaving no stone unturned, and has an incredible team in her periphery to navigate the process. She also wisely takes things one step at a time, and before you know it - one of the most potentially stressful and overwhelming experiences has been accomplished with ease! I'm so happy she was by my side from start to finish. I have, and will always recommend her." - Monica S.

"Beth's help and guidance through the stressful process of buying an apartment in NYC was a deal changer for me. I had heard horror stories from friends about what they went through and I have to say, with Beth, it was always smooth sailing and very professional. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy, rent, or sell in the city without hesitation." - John C.

"Let's see- I met Beth when I was looking for a condo in Harlem. I was 29, it was my first home, and my budget was definitely limited! I found a spot and immediately messaged the agent (Beth). I ended up buying the place, renting it a year later, and then finally selling it two years after that. From representing me with the greatest of skill and intent, to buying me a celebratory bottle of Champagne when we closed on my selling of the home, to even meeting up for a catch-up brunch months later, Beth was there 200%. I really can't say enough about her. She's got a heart of gold, a business sense like no other, and a knack for connecting people that simply won't stop. Oh... and she's efficient. VERY efficient. I honestly can't recommend Beth enough." - Blakley F.

"If you're anything like me, the idea of purchasing Real Estate in the big-bad-we'll-screw-you-over-in-the-minute-print City of New York seems like an insurmountable task. Thank the good Lord for Beth Gittlemen. We were acquainted through a previous theatrical endeavor, and, in my mind, was someone who understood the month-to-month struggles of someone enmeshed in the artistic community. Beth was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and took great care in making what seemed like an impenetrable field clear, concise, and manageable. She listened carefully to the special demands of my situation, and took my time-crunch within her stride. With her expertise, we physically combed through numerous potential cribs, and she didn't bat an eyelid even when my initial impressions were a resounding "no." I set her an almost impossible task, and she exceeded all expectations - I ended up snagging a true "white unicorn" deal in a COOP sponsor unit (fully renovated nonetheless), at a truly great price well under the asking. I'm thankful for Beth for more than just walking me through the process; I'm grateful to Beth for finding my first true home in the city. I cannot recommend her highly enough." - Hansel T.

"Finding and trusting someone in NYC with your home finding, renting, buying, selling needs is never easy. Beth is that person and more! Patient, caring, intuitive, efficient, always responsive and ready for anything. Diligently, and with ease, she expertly handled the sale of my apartment in South Harlem, and then went on to help my boyfriend and I maneuver through the NYC real estate rental maze and settle into a fantastic little place on the Upper West Side. Need assistance in your NYC real estate quest? Beth is the absolute best!" - Michal T.

"Beth helped my wife and I purchase the perfect apartment uptown. It was no easy feat. We have two large dogs (found on every breed restriction list), were moving from across the country, and needed something close to the subway so we could commute to work. As previous homeowners, we had an idea of what to expect, but as new NYC residents, we quickly realized it was a different world. Beth handled our entire search, contract, and closing with the utmost skill, professionalism, and most importantly, care. One year later, we couldn't be happier. We can't recommend Beth enough for whatever your real estate needs are. And to make it better, she knows the right people to help you along the way - mortgage lenders, general contractors, attorneys, etc. Hands down, Beth is a rockstar of NYC realty." - Mike M.
