"Chris is an absolute delight to work with. He was recommended through a friend of a friend, and I could not recommended him enough myself. My search had dragged on for nearly three years, searching for a forever home to remodel and design to my exact specifications, and he happily ran me through different neighborhoods from one corner of New York to another. Even when sellers representatives were slow or unresponsive, he was tremendously diligent in getting all my questions answered. He was also very supportive in my decisions about offers and helped educate me on what to expect during the buying process, as I’d only lived in apartments and condos up till this point. NY real estate processes and guidelines are quirky to say the least, and he fielded all my questions and concerns expertly. Chris was patient and poised throughout our time working together, and will be my go-to recommendation to anyone else asking for an agent in the future. "- Julie S.

"We can’t speak highly enough of Chris Palmer! He helped us search for and buy a house in Forest Hills. When we met, he asked questions that helped us figure out what we were looking for. He put together houses to view that were really based on what we wanted. He was always available to debrief about a house in order to fine tune what we liked/didn’t like. He also helped us manage expectations with his knowledge about the market and the area. It was really important to us to not feel pushed or rushed and Chris always emphasized that it was about finding us the home that was the right fit, not rushing into anything. He offered advice when we asked, but really let us explore and decide for ourselves. This process can be overwhelming and it is incredibly helpful to have someone by your side who is not only knowledgeable but also friendly and warm. His presence, sense of humor, and genuine interest in getting to know us made the process enjoyable. We immediately felt that we could trust him in supporting us while we made an incredibly important decision for our family. All the stars! Highly recommended! "- Victoria F.

From the moment I started looking, until the day I closed, they helped support me to navigate through the arduous and time-consuming process of buying in a co-op.

"Chris Palmer was my broker for my first home buying experience and he made it as seamless as possible. He is very attentive to his client’s needs and was very humble throughout the whole process. When I first met Chris he asked me what my wish list was for my perfect home, it seemed impossible but he found me my wish list home. As an emotional first-time home buyer, the whole process seemed very intimidating and out of reach. With Chris’ guidance and encouragement, I was able to learn and ultimately buy my first home. The level of commitment and patience he showed throughout the whole process was extremely appreciated. Chris is very personable and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him." - Andrea K.

"Chris Palmer is an excellent agent – he is the trusted advisor that you need in this crazy market! Being a first-time home buyer, Chris patiently educated me through each step and nudged me on documents and deadlines to keep us on track. He supported me through each decision with sound advice about the neighborhood, my co-op, etc. Chris truly went above and beyond for me and I am so grateful to have had him in my corner. I was lucky to have Chris Palmer as my agent and will be sending my family and friends to him for their real estate needs. He made this gruesome process a memorable experience all around - thank you Chris!" - Larissa A.

"If you need a broker, stop looking and use Chris. I used him in February of this year and he found me a fantastic place, which was no easy task. I have a 95lb dog and it’s almost impossible to find a place that will accept her, so I’ve often had to settle. He’s hands down the best broker I’ve ever worked with and a great guy. He listens to what you want and delivers. He’s also incredibly responsive. If you have a question months after you sign, he’ll respond to you just as quickly as the day before you sign. Can’t recommend more highly." - Nick J.

★★★★★
"Chris helped my husband and I navigate the search and purchase of our first home (through a pandemic) with grace, efficiency, and consistent cheer. He was patient throughout our long search, was understanding about our budget and desires for the type of neighborhood and home we wanted to live in, and when in contract was able to recommend a great lawyer. He helped coach us for our coop interview and was always clear and communicative. We truly couldn't have done it without him!" - Katelyn

★★★★★
"Chris is wonderful. He is incredible knowledgeable and diligent in helping you find exactly what you want. Your interest is his and with him you can rest assured that no little detail will be overlooked. The evidence of his commitment is such that his help doesn’t just end at the moment of signing the lease but he is generous in helping with his acquired knowledge, experience and prudence about any housing matters. On the rare occasion that he can’t answer something for you, he will connect you with who can. Can’t speak highly enough of him" - Asaanakwa

"My husband and I used Chris for a rental search in Queens. I had never even considered the investment of a realtor for a rental but am so glad we did it. Not only did Chris relieve us of the ground work for setting up appointments etc but more importantly he pushed us by including options that we would not have normally considered. The apartment that eventually won us over was a result of Chris leaving it on the list of places to see in person. We were not interested based off of the photos alone but seeing it in person, we immediately recognized how it ticked all the boxes. Chris was able to see that and thank goodness he did. Chris has a warm, gregarious, and charming approach that fairly matches his skill and knowledge of the market. Knowing we had Chris in our corner put us at ease when we had to stall our search once Covid-19 hit. We trusted Chris and never felt rushed. Definitely keeping him on speed dial for the next move!"- Sean and Jonathan

"Chris Palmer is an amazing real estate agent and just helped me and my husband find our very first home here in NYC! He was super professional and responsive, along with maintaining the ultimate balance of keeping us grounded/realistic with expectations, and being friendly and optimistic that our home was out there just waiting for us to find it - and thanks to him, we did! Can't recommend Chris or his team enough, they really go the extra mile for their clients and we're so grateful."- Alexa S.

★★★★★
"Chris Palmer was better than we could have ever imagined. Every place he brought us to got us closer to our dream home, it really felt like he was listening and tuning his search every step of the way. As first-time home buyers with almost no understanding of what to do, he was with us every step of the way and really made every side of the deal work to make it happen. We cannot recommend him enough."- Chris S.

"We'd highly recommend Chris Palmer from Bianca Colasuonno's Compass team for your real estate needs. He was incredibly patient and professional when responding to our myriad of first-time-buyer questions (both basic and, admittedly, convoluted) and got us into an apartment that immediately felt like home the moment we walked through the door. On top of his professionalism, Chris is also incredibly personable and was very easy to work with."- Nell H.

★★★★★
"We did a lot of research when choosing who we’d like to represent us for our first purchase here in New York. We were very impressed with everything we came across about Bianca and her team, so we were excited when they were able to take us on as clients. We were paired with Chris Palmer who was an absolute delight to work with. He walked us through every step of the process and made sure to show us a variety of properties to help find the perfect home for us. From initial contact to closing (and beyond), Chris has been communicative, responsive, and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience."- Morgan F.

★★★★★
"Chris Palmer was a terrific, patient, knowledgeable and detail-minded guide through our first-time home purchase. He took time to listen, get to know our family and understand what we needed in a home. Chris was always super responsive, friendly, professional and our advocate throughout. He has the skill to translate a complicated process into manageable action steps and helped us navigate our way. We feel very lucky Chris was our guide through this process and especially appreciate his hard work and how he made something that could have been overwhelming, truly enjoyable. "- Pat D.

"Bianca and Chris Palmer were incredible! We worked with Bianca and Chris to sell and purchase our homes, and we were not easy clients. Our requests were: 1. Sell our home at our asking price. 2. Find us a 2 bath top floor apartment with skyline views in our zip code. 3. Sell and purchase on the same day, an impossible demand in NYC, but they delivered! They were professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and on task throughout the entire process. And most of all they were human, they put the importance in getting to know us first, never did they feel salesy. The whole experience felt like working with friends. There’s so much anxiety and doubt people feel when buying or selling a home, you really need an agent you can trust and we’re glad we put our trust in them. Chris and Bianca come at my highest recommendation"- Danny G.

"I worked with Chris & Christina to find my new awesome apartment in the city. Both were extremely patient and supportive of my needs since I was a first time home buyer. Chris was super professional, guided me through the entire process without any hiccups until closing and answered a ton of questions from strategy to tactical steps! I highly recommend Chris for his professionalism, work ethic and patience. I will gladly engage him as my go-to agent for any of my real estate needs."- Rajkumar R.

"Chris is the real estate agent you need and deserve. He is infinitely patient, very knowledgeable and at the same time ready to find out about any relevant particulars, a great communicator and a super positive presence overall. He was a beacon of hope and sanity during the surprise twists and turns of our purchase process. He didn't just inquire, he actively sought out solutions for us and may have been instrumental in getting us to closing. Chris will go above and beyond for his clients and for this reason we recommend him wholeheartedly."- Ina D.
