""I met Dalia through StreetEasy and I couldn’t have been luckier. Moving from Santa Barbara, CA, and never having lived in New York City or owned a home before, I was navigating uncharted territory. Dalia was an angel sent from above. We secured a contract in less than 2 months of connecting.

My demands for an apartment in my price point were quite high for my price point, and Dalia never wasted my time. She only showed me places she knew I’d be interested in, vetting each one beforehand. Her understanding of my preferences was impeccable. The contract process was seamless thanks to Dalia. Despite challenges beyond our control, she worked diligently to meet my needs. She even referred me to an incredible real estate attorney and loan agent, ensuring I had the best support throughout.

As a single woman in my 30s, I felt completely safe with Dalia's guidance. She was deeply attuned to my best interests, making it the best experience I could have asked for. Even months after closing, she continues to check in. I couldn’t recommend a better agent to work with. Dalia knows the ins and outs of New York real estate like a true pro".” - D.H.

"Dalia is a phenomenal agent in every way. She is knowledgeable, personable, and extremely communicative. She helped us navigate the very complicated buying process in New York City with ease—we couldn’t have done it without her and can’t recommend her enough!” - thelucyyan

"I had the pleasure of working with Dalia as my buyers agent, and I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service I received. From the moment we began working together, Dalia took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and worked tirelessly to find me the perfect home. She was helpful every step of the way, going above and beyond to ensure that I was comfortable and confident with my purchase. She was always available to answer my questions, provide guidance, and offer valuable insights into the local real estate market. Throughout the entire process, I felt like I had a true partner on my side. Dalia listened to my concerns and thanks to her expertise and dedication, I was able to find my dream home and feel confident in my decision. I would highly recommend Dalia to anyone looking for a top-notch buyers agent." - A. Mairaj

"Dalia was so incredibly patient with me. We spent months being really picky and waiting for the right property. She went to every appointment even when I told her she didn't have to. She never ever felt pushy at all and I always felt she had my best interest in mind. She was also always super responsive, responding at late hours and within minutes even when she was traveling. When it came down to negotiating on the place I liked, Dalia was a bulldog in my corner. She did not back down and convince me to just go with the sellers' asks. I'm so happy to have worked with Dalia and I strongly recommend her" - MK

"Dalia was refreshingly transparent, responsive and patient. It was the very first time for us going through the process of buying a home and she expertly guided us every step of the way. Ended up buying one in June (approximately 5 months into our search) and couldn’t be happier with the outcome." - Pierpaolo C.

""Buying a house in NYC is as stressful as it gets. Especially now, with such a strange and volatile market. Dalia was SUCH a delight to work with in this process. She was kind, knowledgeable, and advocated for us when needed. We ended up getting a beautiful home in Brooklyn thanks to her; a home I never thought we'd be able to own. I'm so thankful we got to work with her and would recommend her to anyone buying a home"" - Asma T.

"Dalia was amazing to work with. She was so kind and helpful. She was always on top of things and I appreciated how she helped move things along. I really valued her expertise and advice during my home-buying experience. I would highly recommend working with her!" - Erin C.

" Dalia was so patient with us over the many months we took to find a place. She was always extremely responsive. Her knowledge of the area was fantastic and she was always on our side. Really great to work with.

"Dalia helped us buy our first home in NYC and we couldn’t have asked for a better agent to work with! As we tip toed into the home buying process, what immediately caught our eye was how patient and understanding dalia was. She never rushed us into making an offer and in fact made us feel so comfortable with taking as much time as we needed. We unfortunately had to deal with a few obstacles and an “almost” contract falling through but Dalia pretty much held our hand through it all. She guided us through making new offers, getting a signed contract and the board packager process. We ultimately couldn’t be happier with the home we bought and would enthusiastically recommend dalia to all home buyers!" - Anusha S.

"As a first time buyer, I couldn't have asked for a better agent to work with! Dalia went out of her way to truly partner with us in finding our perfect apartment, end to end. She is thoughtful, attentive, genuine, super knowledgeable, and detail oriented - all traits you'd want when making a big decision like your first condo purchase in NYC! While the contract negotiations/closing was a daunting process in our situation, I always felt reassured in having her by our side and I truly appreciate her going above and beyond in terms of responsiveness, availability, overall communications/follow up, thoroughness, etc. Overall, my husband and I can't sing her enough praises - I feel very lucky and grateful to have gotten to know Dalia and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone. She's the best!! :)" - Nicole K.

"Dalia is an amazing agent and I'm so happy she helped me find the home I couldn't have even dreamed of. She called me before we first met to get a better understanding of what specifically I was looking for, as well as some background on my situation. We viewed a few places before finding the one I ended up buying. She took into account all of my feedback such as space, floorpan, and neighborhood to help me find the perfect place. She worked hard to close the deal by negotiating a fair price on my behalf. I would highly recommend her to anyone and appreciate how communicative and understanding she is. " - Aleena Q.

" Dalia is a skilled and thoughtful broker who is very much client centered. She knows and guides the prospective buyer through the entire process. At every step along the way, Dalia was able to answer any questions I had about the properties we viewed and about the buying process itself. Dalia is a warm, friendly, extremely available person who knows her business and will look out for your interests. As a first time buyer, she made what could have been a daunting process straight forward. Dalia was able to negotiate difficult transactions with an ease that comes from experience, knowing her field, and remaining focused on the tasks at hand. It was a pleasure working with her and would recommend to friends without reservation. A pleasure." - John G M.D

"My family and I met Ms. Dalia Katos in January 2018, at the start of our search for a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan. Dalia was not the only broker we contacted of course, but her warmth and endearing manner were evident from our first conversation, which consequently drove our decision to retain her services over any other candidates. Most importantly, we felt that Dalia instantly understood our requirements, whether related to location, budget, 24-hour doorman, available outdoor space, or property size, and consistently applied those to every property search. Dalia’s efforts saved my busy family valuable search time and energy. We can wholly recommend her to manage any property search project thanks to a combination of strong communication, problem solving, leadership, time management, and excellent organization skills. Dalia consistently stays on top of the job and was punctual to all our appointments, often keeping to a tight schedule despite the vagaries of traffic and winter weather known to Manhattan.

With Dalia’s good offices, our search took under 90 days to complete. Thanks to her rich experience in the New York property market, and unfailing dedication, she was able to provide appropriate advice and direction. Wherever we went, Dalia dealt with fellow brokers with collegiality and respect, even at times when they were late to an appointment or failed to show up.

Inevitably, we started out with a set of criteria that evolved as we became increasingly informed on the nature of the lower Manhattan property landscape. Dalia, being an excellent listener and most understanding of our evolving needs, graciously accommodated those changes.

My family and I feel truly privileged to have purchased a stunning, modern property thanks to a person so rich in human qualities and professional skills. We wholeheartedly recommend Dalia’s services and wish her every success in her future endeavors." - Susan Hanna Wicht

"I don't think there is a real estate agent out there who could have taken care of us better than Dalia. My wife and I were renting in Manhattan for nearly a decade and knew we were ready for homeownership. We found Dalia by chance and are extremely grateful that we did. Her personality was a perfect fit for us. When we first met Dalia we had very little idea what we wanted. She patiently showed us our options (from Manhattan, to lower Westchester, and eventually our new home in Brooklyn) and let us figure it out on our own. We never felt pressured. She let us figure out what we needed instead of pressuring us into what was available. She did it with patience and care. Once we found the place we wanted, she became an even greater advocate for us in the purchase. She helped us navigate through the many hurdles that we otherwise were unprepared for. We highly recommend her as an agent to anyone who is in the market and will proudly refer friends and family to her as well." - Scott B. and Caitlin W.

"I first met Dalia in a stroke of luck when I responded to a listing represented by LG Fairmont. I have never been so lucky, nor so privileged. Not only is she personable, patient, gracious and considerate, she is also brilliant and knows how to navigate the landscape of real estate in every and any way imaginable. Her responsiveness to every question, no matter how large or small cannot be matched. She was a joy to work with and be around and I feel lucky to have met her. Always professional, she went out of her way to be sure that our questions were always answered, that our needs were always met and was supportive throughout our time together, especially when we thought we'd never find a home. She assured us we would, and she was right. She gave sound advice on every aspect of our search and purchase and was tenacious, dedicated and understanding of our requirements, never pushing us above our financial comfort zone, and understood exactly what we were looking for. Dalia was always punctual, and extremely knowledgeable about all of the legal and financial aspects of a purchase, as well as its implications. She was a tireless companion as well as a fierce representative of all of our needs, from the very beginning all the way to closing. She was always available and there for us whenever we needed her. She was always respectful and worked well with every broker we dealt with throughout the process. She educated us, supported us and went above and beyond to secure appointments and showings. When we became more educated and our needs changed, she evolved with us, never wavering in her uncompromising tenacity. Her knowledge of real estate and all of its intricacies are unparalleled and helped us find our home. Additionally, a great negotiator, her skill at knowing how flexible costs were helped to inspire confidence that we could be assured of a fair price for any property we considered. When we needed resources like contractors or attorneys, Dalia was a treasure trove of information and recommendations. Detail oriented and organized, Dalia's time management skills also helped us to look at specific areas of interest without wasting time. I recommend Dalia to anyone looking to buy a home and cannot say enough about how much she has meant to us. We never would have made it throughout this process without her. We will forever be eternally grateful." - Anne Simon

"Dalia was a fantastic, informed, and diligent partner during the homebuying process and I strongly recommend her! She takes a genuine interest in understanding what people want and listens to their thoughts to recommend ideal options. I hadn’t even considered the neighborhood I ended up buying in but she presented the perfect neighborhood and place as an option and I’m so happy! She is also an extremely hard, and smart, worker- I had a ton of questions and she was very responsive in texts and phone calls and on top of everything, even through the busy holidays. She was a partner in problem solving, guiding the deal to fruition, and shared in the joy of my new home!" - Sonu Kori

"Dalia was an absolute delight to work with, and I highly recommend her. I was a first time buyer, and Dalia was my teacher and advocate throughout the very confusing and complicated process that is buying real estate in Manhattan. She explained everything, connected me with her contacts for the financial and legal aspects of the process, fiercely negotiated for my interests, and was just an amazing resource for every little question I had. If she didn't know the answer, then she would find it.

I can't stress enough how responsive and on-the-ball Dalia is, which made my life 1000 times easier. She was very accommodating of my schedule and would always respond right away when I reached out (or at least respond to say that she got my message and would respond soon). She set up showings quickly, and always executed right away when I was ready to take action. I never had to worry about the details. With Dalia, you will certainly be taken care of!" - Michelle Wang

"I met Dalia at the first open house I went to in 2018 and decided to work with her going forward. They always say pick a great agent but realistically it's almost impossible. I feel very fortunate to have had Dalia with us throughout the buying process.

My wife and I finished closing on our home in 2021, so Dalia definitely put in her due. She was always patient, never rushed us, and was always very open and honest. There were times throughout the years we put the search on hold, and Dalia was always respectful of that. She was also very accommodating to our ever changing desires, whether it was size, price, location, or amenities.

We knew the second we walked into our house that it was the one we wanted, and Dalia was with us every step of the way to help us secure it. Past initial offer, Dalia never missed a beat in communication, coordinating the initial negotiation perfectly.

The next phase was getting a loan and lawyer on board and Dalia was helpful coordinating that as well. She worked tirelessly to keep all parties on a schedule and make sure all communication was clear. It was our first buy, so everything was new to us, but we always had trust with Dalia.

I'd highly recommend working with Dalia. Her speedy communication, honesty, flexibility, and patience, always with a smile, were perfect for us." - Jonathan Lewis

"We worked with Dalia for the past two years to help us find a pied-à-terre in West Village. Dalia is one of those brokers who is like family (the kind you want to be around) - she takes you under her wing, and she listens. She offers options for you to consider but never oversteps what you want/need - there is no high-pressure sales pitch to close any deal. She is responsive, communicative, and works hard to create a trusting relationship. Rain, snow, COVID, long timelines, you name it, Dalia is there. We appreciate our relationship with her." - Chris & David

"Thank you for your tenaciousness and dedication as well as your patience with us as first time buyers. I hope you know how much we appreciate your work on our behalf. We have a pretty cool place thanks to your tireless work." - JC & TD

"It took us about a year to find our perfect home, and, if not for Dalia, we might not have found it. She is one of the most professional, dedicated, driven and meticulous agents we have ever worked with. As two busy physicians, we really appreciated her being always available and making scheduling seamless. Dalia is delightful to work with, and we have recommended her to several of our close friends. Needless to say, we are looking forward to working with her again! Thank you again!" - Yuliya and Dan
