Client Testimonials
“After interviewing several top brokers, I chose Christine Miller Martin to represent my Fifth Avenue prewar duplex due to her stellar reputation, direct approach and innovative marketing strategy. Where others faced challenges, Christine succeeded, handling a complex transaction with ease and providing spot-on advice every step of the way. She exemplifies professionalism, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking an exceptional luxury real estate broker.“- Frederic Fekkai, Seller, Prewar Duplex at 953 Fifth Avenue
“My wife and I write to share our strongest endorsement and highest recommendation of Christine. Christine and her team provided keen market knowledge that was essential to understanding the New York real estate market as we sought a new home. She personally guided us through each stage of the process, from property/community evaluation, to purchase/offer strategy, and she also connected us with qualified legal professionals and even architect/design teams for renovation analysis to factor into the purchase decision. Most importantly, she led and coached us through every step of the co-op board application and evaluation process, which can be an overwhelming undertaking. Her dedication, drive, and commitment of time 24/7 to her client success is unparalleled in this business.“ - Buyers, Pre-war Duplex at 830 Park Avenue
“My wife and I have been working exclusively with Christine on both the buy and sell side in Manhattan for almost 20 years now. Christine is smart, diligent, hard working and has expert knowledge of Upper East Side real estate, especially co-ops. It has not been an easy market in Manhattan the past few years and with her guidance and expertise, the otherwise complex process of selling our co-op, including the board approval process, all went incredibly smoothly. Christine is outstanding to work with and makes the very stressful event of selling your home feel like all is taken care of with minimal disruption to your life.“- Sellers, 8 room Pre-war Coop at 655 Park Avenue
