It was an absolute pleasure working with Caryl to buy my first home in New York. From day one she committed to finding me somewhere I would be excited to call home, and her ability to quickly understand my needs and match them with her intimate knowledge of the local market and even individual buildings made an otherwise stressful process feel enjoyable and empowering. Caryl is an excellent thought partner and coach, and consistently guided me in the right direction with helpful frameworks for thinking about which apartments to tour and how to structure offers. There is so much I would have missed without her guidance, which was always thoughtful, rooted in her incredible wealth of experience, and never pushy. Her meticulous attention to detail was particularly reassuring as I completed my co-op board package--I felt confident that Caryl had helped me present the best version of myself as a prospective buyer (she reviewed every page of my board package herself), and I felt extraordinarily well prepared for each stage in the process. Throughout many months working together Caryl was responsive, always thoughtful and candid with her feedback, and most importantly always made me feel like I mattered as a client. She really got to know me through the process, and it felt like I always had someone in my corner in the challenging and ever-changing landscape of New York City real estate. I trusted that she always had my best interests at heart, which helped me find an apartment I am so proud to call my new home. Of all the decisions that went into my home-buying process, working with Caryl was far and away the best one. - Daniel

Caryl was the best agent we could ask for! Not only were we first-time home buyers, but we also had a ridiculously difficult closing that almost took a year, and Caryl was pushing for us every step of the way and handling all the details. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the city. - Sarah H.
