“Two things stand out for me for Barbara: I have no doubt at any point she is always looking out for my best interest, and that she is always reliable and responsive.

“Finding an apartment in NYC is not an easy task, never mind a fun one. Eric has a tremendous knack for truly understanding what attributes are most important to you in your apartment. He worked hard in a short period of time to pull together a group of apartments to look at with every one of them offering something unique. In the end, we found a home that was a perfect match for our needs. Eric is a professional broker with a unique persona, creating a situation where finding an apartment in NYC is actually both easy and fun.” - David K.

“Barbara helped us buy our first home. She was very patient with us and gave us time and space to make decisions about each house she showed. She is quick to respond to all queries and was very helpful even after the purchase. I will certainly recommend her to all my friends/ family.” - Shivika

“Buying your first home can be quite a daunting task, especially in a city like New York. I was truly lucky I was able to have Eric lead the way on this journey. He was able to show me multiple locations, prices and sizes so that I was able to feel very confident in my decision. Eric also provided countless comparable listings to show me what was going on in the various areas I was considering. Most importantly when it came time to negotiate, Eric truly had a great handle on what to offer and when to settle. It ended up being a great learning experience and I now live in the home of my dreams.” - Robert G.

“We were first-time home buyers and weren’t really sure what we were looking for. Barbara was a very knowledgeable resource and patient as we explored and narrowed our choices. As we neared the offer stage, she outlined the steps and what would be needed from us. She was our advocate and our hand-holder during the process and we are extremely thankful she was our realtor!” - W K

"Phyllis gave me excellent advice when it came to choosing and negotiating an apartment rental in NYC. In my experience, I found her to be patient, knowledgeable and very accommodating to my needs throughout the entire process. Her guidance and diligence gave me a sense of comfort from start to finish. Phyllis is extremely professional and personable. She was able to help not only with negotiating the deal but also referred me to movers, a housekeeper, and a dog walker, helping me get settled in my new home and neighborhood. I would recommend her as an agent to anyone with complete confidence and am grateful to have had her help during my moving process." - Erin B.

“Phyllis was our broker for our most recent apartment sale in Tribeca, and she was amazing to work with! People always say you can't get everything you want when you are looking for an apartment in Manhattan, but she was able to find an apartment in the neighborhood we were most interested in, with a beautiful open layout, plenty of space, sunlight and a feel good vibe - precisely what my husband and I were looking for." - Nancy G.

“Finding an apartment in NYC is not an easy task. Having said that, our experience working with Phyllis has made the process not only extremely easy, but also fun! What separates Phyllis from the sea of real estate professionals out there in NYC is that she truly cares about her clients and their happiness - I can guarantee from our personal experience that she will advocate for you on your behalf and ask questions that you might not even have thought about asking. She is always transparent and extremely trustworthy which makes the entire process of finding and buying your dream apartment in NYC so seamless including all the paperwork. Phyllis is responsive, is extremely patient with her clients, and most importantly listens to you and is quick to understand your preference. This has made a world of difference for us since it saves everyone’s time when you are sent and taken to the right types of buildings and neighborhoods. We also loved that she lives in TriBeCa herself and really knows the true ins and outs of the real estate market. Whether you are a buyer, a seller, or just curious about specific neighborhoods/buildings in NYC, Phyllis should be your go-to real estate professional that you just cannot afford to lose!” - Seulki C.

“Put simply, Phyllis was the BEST! She made the entire purchasing process not only easy, but enjoyable; my husband and I couldn't recommend her enough. As first time buyers we were a bit nervous and inexperienced, but she walked us through the entire process (from offer to post-closing and all in between, mortgage included!) and made sure we felt comfortable at each step. Being our unit was being bought from the sponsor, things got a bit complicated, but Phyllis was there to answer each and every question we had along the way. If you're looking for an amazing broker, look no further. We will definitely be lifelong customers!” - Michelle E.

“It is eight months since I moved into my apartment in the financial district and I appreciate the NYC real estate expertise of Phyllis Alario more than ever. New to this market, I initially presented my requirements to Phyllis by telephone and she astutely added to the list. By the day of our apartment tour Phyllis had narrowed the search to ten selections. She was familiar with each of the building’s details, pros and cons, and we were treated with the utmost respect at each visit. What I will never forget is that as we walked to each apartment building on her list, I would ask Phyllis why we were not viewing apartments in the buildings that we passed. She actually provided major negatives for each building we passed over! Within two weeks of our initial phone conversation an ideal apartment was signed. Phyllis also confidently guided me through the formal lease signing and supplied needed practical advice on NYC apartment move-ins and daily living. The entire experience was honest and relaxed. I would never consider a different realtor if needed in the future." - DDM

“A friend had recommended Phyllis Alario to help me find a condo to buy in Manhattan. As soon as I spoke with Phyllis, I loved her sincere and upbeat voice. We arranged to meet immediately, and she did not waste any time explaining what she had for sale that fit what I was looking for. That day I immediately put a deposit down and I am currently living in my new condo, loving life. I strongly recommend getting in touch with Phyllis whether you are buying or selling your home.” - Cynthia B.

“I never met anybody who works as hard as Phyllis! She found me my last 3 apartments and each one was better than the other. She changed the way I feel about real estate brokers and went out of her way to get me the best deal. Since then I have referred a few of my friends to her, and she continues to deliver each time!” - Tom M.

"Phyllis helped my wife and I purchase a new home in East Hampton in 2016. I found Phyllis to be process oriented, detailed, highly professional, but more so an amazingly attentive listener to our goals, and what we wanted in a home. We viewed multiple listings and home magazines prior to seeing homes, so our time was efficient and well spent. In terms of negotiation, Phyllis helped us to get a much better final price on the home, and helped negotiate important extras, like furniture and window treatments, and pre-close fixes in the bathroom and kitchen. Most important to us though, was how she took charge of the process, which had inevitable hiccups and obstacles due to the sellers, and handled all of the important details for us. I highly recommend Phyllis and her team!" - Stephen S.

"After recently moving to NYC I needed an apartment to buy on the Upper East Side and was immediately overwhelmed by all of the options! I thankfully met Phyllis, and had an amazing experience working with her. Phyllis was always on time, extremely organized, and very patient. She showed me apartments in my price point and really listened to what I wanted in my new home. She knows NYC like the back of her hand, and was always full of information. After working with her, it's evident that she truly cares about her clients, and I cannot say enough great things about her! If you need to buy an apartment, she is an incredible realtor!!! - Laraine C.

"Phyllis is the best! She helped us buy our first apartment. As first time buyers, buying into a new construction, we had no idea what was going on and had lots of questions, Phyllis was always very patient and explained everything. She even went out of her way to help us sub lease our old rental, after we closed. She was very helpful in making sure that a process that could have been stressful, went very smoothly. We will definitely work with her again!" - Shan L.

"My husband and I recently purchased an apartment in NYC and had the great pleasure of working with Phyllis Goldberg. She was patient, thorough, extremely detail oriented and helped guide us in what can be a very overwhelming process. She worked extremely hard to get us exactly what we wanted and is very knowledgeable and passionate about NYC real estate. From first meeting, my husband and I knew we were in great hands and we highly recommend working with her!" - J.M.

"Apartment hunting can be a very grueling experience, but Victoria made the entire process fun and enjoyable! She taught me a lot about New York and its geography and I feel more comfortable navigating the city after working with Victoria. She was very mindful of what I was looking for in an apartment/ neighborhood, which resulted in me signing a lease at the perfect apartment!" - Carly R.

"Victoria is sensational to work with. I came to her at a time when I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted and she worked with me to quickly narrow things down and help me make a decision. She is informative, very matter-of-fact, sure of her skills, incredibly straight forward, honest and realistic - which is everything you could want in a real estate agent. I won't work with anyone else in real estate." - Jared B.

“Eric comes across as someone extremely responsive, resourceful and intuitive. What distinguishes him from other real estate agents is his true understanding of NYC's housing market. As an international client, he understood my needs and gave me customized guidance on how to best strategize my investment. I and my family trust him without a reservation on guiding us throughout the entire lifecycle of our investment properties.” - Penny B.

“Eric is one of the most strategic, proactive, and forward thinking agents I've ever met. His building and neighborhood knowledge is matched only by his financial acumen. He loves his job, and cares about his clients. It helps that he's an unbelievably nice guy as well.” - Jon K.

"Eric helped us in our property search in New York in 2014. We were extremely impressed by Eric throughout the process, he offered excellent advice and was able to help us to find the best property for our needs. He was on top of everything, every step of the way and it was a truly worry-free process. We would definitely recommend Eric to anyone who is looking for a property in the USA." - Kevin and Penny S.

"Phyllis made the process of my Co-op transaction completely stress free! She was always readily available to answer any questions, and was so on top of everything. From the moment I met her, I felt that I was in the best hands and truly appreciate all of her hard work. I whole heartedly recommend calling Phyllis for all of real estate transactions. She's the best!" - Gabriela S.

"As an Italian national with New York ties, the notion of owning a home in NYC was very much appealing. Eric took his time walking me through the often complex nuances of the purchasing process. With a keen eye on my prerequisites and potential resale/rental viability, he made the transaction as smooth as possible. I could not recommend him and his team more strongly." - Alessio C.

"Phyllis Goldberg and her team were outstanding in their service! From the introductory call with Phyllis (calling in from overseas while on vacation), to the photo shoot (amazing job!), to the showings, to the strategy for securing & inking a lease agreement with a renter, and ultimately to navigating the condo board approval process, Phyllis & team performed superbly. They were incredibly responsive to all my needs & requests – & worries – to get me to the final line. By the way, my apartment secured a renter in less than 2 weeks from starting the listing! I highly recommend Phyllis and her team." - Tim L.

“I had my townhouse on the market for sale with a previous broker and was fortunate enough to have met Phyllis who took over the listing and solicited multiple bids within months. She knew exactly what we needed to do to position the property to get it sold and was spot on. Nevertheless she gave my listing her undivided attention throughout the entire sale, working tirelessly to obtain the results I wanted, and navigated a complex transaction seamlessly. Her market insight, design expertise, and experience are unparalleled. I recommend Phyllis without hesitation." - Joseph B

"Phyllis is not only a total pro, she is a lovely human being. She's truly everything you could ask for in a realtor. She works tirelessly to help you find exactly what you want and never pressures you. I have worked with her for over 6 years, first she advised me when to sell my Soho loft, and it was truly the perfect time to get my the best price, as well as the purchase of my Upper East Side apartment. I couldn't be happier with how she handled both transactions and highly recommend her to anyone and everyone." - Deborah R.
