"Edgar did a phenomenal job with the sale of our apartment. He was extremely knowledgeable and understood the NYC housing market thoroughly. This was our first home and he handled it with respect and integrity. He was very responsive and straight forward, incredibly trustworthy and professional. All of his suggestions for staging the apartment were insightful thus creating a quick, seamless sale from start to finish." - M.R.
"Edgar is a very knowledgeable broker who was able to facilitate the selling transaction with ease. He walked us through the closing process and negotiated very well on our behalf. His ability to identify relevant comps and awareness of the market made for a smooth transaction.
Overall, Edgar helped us sell our home efficiently; he hired a great photographer for the listing photos and was able to secure good offers in a short time frame. Highly recommend Edgar as he knows the Brooklyn market really well and is a good partner/advocate." - Joylyn E.
"It was truly a pleasure to work with Edgar on the sale of my Brooklyn condo. I was impressed with his in-depth analysis of the current market to determine the right listing price. I appreciated Edgar's calm and professional demeanor throughout the process. My building is notoriously difficult to close in, and when we hit an impasse with the buyer's first lender, Edgar quickly did some research to identify a lender who could not only close in my building but maintain my critical target closing date. He has impeccable attention to detail and follow-through and savvy negotiating skills. I would 100% recommend Edgar - he is a fantastic agent!" - Kristen S.
