"Ilene has all the best attributes you want in an agent. We have worked with her several times since 2003. She hears your needs and makes the process of finding a place or selling it easy and free of anxiety. We have both bought and sold apartments with Ilene. She made the process super smooth. We recommended her to two other clients and both purchased apartments and thanked us for the recommendations. We recommended her to a family member who was selling after they were failed by other agents. She sold it. Her experience, guidance and professionalism will make any real estate endeavor comfortable and successful. Seller, Helena G."

"Ilene is the most genuine, trustworthy real estate agent there is in New York City. She will always help you find what you are looking for while providing honest, solid advice and guidance. I met Ilene more than 10 years ago when I moved to New York from abroad and needed to find a rental apartment. Ilene made the search easy and fun and she found me the most wonderful apartment where I lived for many years. My law firm was very impressed with her, so much so that from that moment onwards Ilene became their trusted broker for any of their employees' housing needs in New York and still is today. Ilene and I have always stayed in touch throughout the years and she has recently helped me with finding my new home. I absolutely love my new place. She truly listened to what kind of apartment I was looking for and provided solid guidance from the minute we started the search. The seller certainly did not make the process easy, but Ilene definitely did. She remained calm and collected throughout the process while offering me real guidance and support. I could not be more grateful! Ilene is a true gem, and I count my lucky stars that I found her! Buyer, Nicolette H."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Ilene for almost 20 years, and I genuinely would not have been able to manage my NYC condo without her. Whether I was living overseas or out of state, she has consistently gone above and beyond to support me, whether it be helping me find reliable tenants, handling repairs/maintenance, or keeping an eye on something, I have been able to count on her. And just as importantly, the condo has rarely ever been vacant. She is responsive, kind, honest, and reliable. Her professionalism and dedication has given me peace of mind year after year, and I’m so grateful to her for her continued partnership. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted real estate agent in NYC. Landlord, Sinead F."

"I first met Ilene six years ago while casually “window shopping” for an apartment in the city with my then-84-year-old father. We were touristing from out of state - not serious buyers at all - just wandering and daydreaming. But Ilene met us with generosity, insight, and genuine curiosity. She listened closely as we spoke about the kind of place we might someday want, and somehow pinpointed exactly the type of properties that would resonate with us. Fast forward to today from that first unexpected meeting, and Ilene has helped us purchase three apartments in the city. She brings incredible intuition, deep market knowledge, a playful love of touring properties, and a remarkable network - especially invaluable for an out-of-state buyer like me. I truly can’t imagine doing New York real estate without her! Buyer, Alexa A."
