"I've never met Julie in person, but from our first FaceTime meeting to discuss selling my pied-à-terre in Lincoln Square, I felt completely confident in her abilities. Living abroad, it was crucial for me to have someone trustworthy, and Julie exceeded all my expectations. She suggested a virtual walkthrough and identified all the steps needed to get the apartment ready for photos and bringing it to market. She coordinated everything for me and connected me with excellent recommendations for an attorney, painter, and electrician. Julie even helped me coordinate with the building manager and personally gave the providers access to the apartment, keeping an eye on the progress of work. The distance and time zones were never an issue; she was a fantastic communicator, and I was never left wondering."
Stella M. - Lincoln Square / Upper West Side, Luxury Condominium
★★★★★
"Thanks to Julie, we were enlightened about the crucial differences between condos and co-ops, which not only clarified our options but also significantly streamlined our decision-making process, ultimately saving us valuable time. We could have never bought our co-op without her expertise and guidance, especially when we got to the board package process."

"Julie was a wonderful broker to work with. I never felt pressured and always felt she was looking out for my best interest."
Elana S. - Upper West Side, New Development Condominium
★★★★★
"Julie was very responsive and helped us navigate the unique environment of NYC and more specifically purchasing a Co-op. She introduced us to other great resources but was never pushy or overbearing. She was available anytime we needed to speak, and in some cases within minutes and always within hours. I would fully endorse her to any friends or family looking for space in NYC. In the future, Julie will be our first call on buying or selling."
Chris C. - Upper West Side, Luxury Cooperative

"I loved working with Julie. She is extremely positive, very professional, and a joy to work with. I have had great experiences working with Julie in the past and will certainly want to work with her on any future real estate needs."

Q1 2025 Manhattan Market Report
The Manhattan residential real estate market performed strongly in Q1 2025, with sales rising 13.2% year-over-year. Despite ongoing economic uncertainty, rising demand was driven by confidence in property as a secure asset, especially in the high-end market and return-to-office mandates. This shift encouraged many who had left the city altogether to return or move closer to their workplace—a trend likely to continue as pandemic-era norms fade.
Manhattan Weekly Luxury Report 4M+ March 31-April 6, 2025
Twenty-seven contracts were signed last week in Manhattan at $4 million and above, 18 fewer than the previous week, which was the best week in the luxury market since December 2021. Condos outsold co-ops, 15-9, with 3 townhouses in the mix. It was a solid performance, but one has to wonder: If the stock market continues to plunge in the coming days or weeks, what will be the impact on residential real estate.
Did You Know? Twelve of the 15 condos were sold by sponsors, averaging 14% discounts off the original asking price and languishing an average 2,025 days on the market (5.5 years!). The average asking price on sponsor apartments was $2,758/sq.ft.
