"A few years ago, my wife and I were referred to Geo to help us find an apartment that met our bewildering array of needs in the then hot Manhattan real estate market. As much as we prided ourselves on knowing Manhattan, having spent time there, we still needed to be gently educated on the changing neighborhoods of Manhattan. It was both a relief and delight to discover that Geo immediately understood us and had dealt with many absentee buyers. Any issues that have come up over the years were addressed efficiently and painlessly by Geo. We have been very happy." - S.A. Ibrahim | Former CEO | Radian Group
"We would like to thank Geo for his professional service over the years! We are based in Dubai and he helped us source a great property and were extremely accommodating in organizing the viewings to suit our daughter’s working hours in New York! We have found Geo very knowledgeable about market trends and also in assisting us with renting the property post-purchase. We look forward to our continued association with him and wish him the best." - Manoj Chawla | Country Chief Risk Officer | Standard Chartered Bank
"My husband and I were SO lucky to find and work with Geo during our (successful!) house hunt in Brooklyn. He is just amazing and made the process so much easier. He is super responsive and gave us the hand-holding we needed, knows his stuff, is meticulous in his research, and was honest and straightforward with us about when to be aggressive with our bids and when to hold back. We felt really comfortable with him – so important when you’re making probably the biggest financial decision of your lives! We could not recommend him highly enough!!" - Shane McEvoy & Tsedeye Gebreselassie |

"Geo is professional, personable, and a persistent advocate for your best interests. Geo develops a relationship with you and is then able to curate places that meet your needs and desires. He knows what your ideal home/ investment is better than you do! He explains everything thoroughly and patiently- which was amazing for me, personally, as a new homeowner. He also has great rapport with other brokers, which changes the showings to something a bit more intimate and conversational- a real advantage. I have dreamed of a home and Geo made it a reality. He is amazing!" - Dr. Cini K. Thayil | MDCHS Hospitals
"Love this Geo guy. Great name, better realtor. Also handsome. We wanted a house. He helped us buy one. Buying a house is complicated, confusing... kinda the worst. That is unless you have a partner like Geo. Honestly, I still don't really know how it all happened, but we own a house now. Thanks Geo! Nailed it!!" - Jim & Julie Babb | Founders | Part and Sum
"I have had the privilege and pleasure of knowing Geo for over several years. He’s helped me manage my property in New York, a big boon for someone living in India, and eventually sell it at a great time and at a good price. He also helped my son rent in New York on a couple of occasions and helped him settle in the city. Based on my experiences with him, I also connected him to several friends and colleagues who transacted through him and they have all been very happy clients. Over time, we have become friends and important counselor on anything to do with NYC to my family and me as he is honest, pleasant, and knowledgeable and value long-term relationships. I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking to transact real estate in NYC." - Neeraj Bhargava | CEO | Zodius Capital | Former Co-founder & CEO | WNS Gobal Services
"It was an absolute pleasure working with Geo Punnapuzha. As a first-time homebuyer and investor with almost no knowledge about the logistics and processes involved in buying a home, Geo was always patient and extremely knowledgeable about any questions or considerations that I had. Throughout the entire process, Geo has been excellent in showing me homes that fit my general description and communicating any news or information promptly. I would highly recommend Geo as a real estate agent without reservation, especially to those who are looking to get their foot in the door as a first time buyer." - Atul Philip | Director | AXA
"In 2015, my husband and I were looking at apartments in NYC as an investment. We met Geo at one of his open houses and decided to work with him as we are overseas (UAE) and needed someone very knowledgeable about the NYC market as well as cash flow and ROI metrics. We are familiar with Manhattan as we lived there for many years, but still needed to be re-educated on the market as we have been away for some time. After working with Geo for a year, we purchased an investment property in 2016. Geo has been great managing the condo and we are able to invest without the headaches of owning a rental apartment. He took time to show us apartments in all neighborhoods and put together models so that we could see the returns on each and make an educated decision. We have been extremely happy with our purchase and his management. We are possibly looking to purchase another property and will definitely use him again and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an advisor in real estate." - Maria Ansari & Mujeeb Qazi |Consultant Oncologist, Mediclinic Hospital | Sector Head of Energy Infrastructure, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority
"Geo truly looks out for his clients and he has the skills and experience that’s needed in a cutting-edge real estate market!" - Andrew & Yelda Moers | President | Consumer Business at Springboard
