"Milena is phenomenal. I truly can't explain how EASY and FUN Milena made the process of buying an apartment. She knows so many different neighborhoods and so many specific buildings, so she's great at knowing relative value. Because of her, I feel very confident that I got the best property for the best price. She's a gem! I would recommend her to anyone." - nadae123

"Milena is the real deal. She has broad, personal knowledge of the local real estate market, growing up in Brooklyn, while now living in Manhattan. She responds professionally, and is easy to work with in a relaxed and fun way while still acknowledging the sense of urgency you may feel to locate a new home. She helped guide us through every step of the process, and explained the fees and paperwork clearly upfront so we knew exactly what to expect. This is our second time working with Milena, and it won't be our last. We have referred her to several close friends already!" - zuser20170528070759102

"When you absolutely have to get it done, Milena is the one! Incredibly proactive and organized, she kind of sets a new standard.
We were in a bind, wanted to get out of a current lease early in order to hop on a bigger apartment that just came on the market. Our current landlord would only let us break the lease if we found someone to take it over for the remainder of the lease term. Milena staged our apartment, brought in a professional photographer and quickly set up open house events. Once we had an applicant she shuttled them quickly through the board approval process while in the meantime managing our own board approval for the new apartment. My wife and I were impressed at every turn how proactive Milena was in keeping the process moving and all the players in check. In no way could we have done it without her.
Keeping her on speed dial! Thank you Milena!!" - dchisena

"Milena was an absolute joy to work with. We knew the moment we met here that she was the realtor for us. She had a warmth and friendliness that made it easy to have her around during what is normally a very stressful time. She gave us truly valuable advice throughout the whole process and always knew when to push us and when to step back. She had a very no-nonsense approach and her constant confidence made it easy to trust her. Her knowledge of the local market was proven repeatedly. We are very glad we chose to work with her and would strongly recommend her to anyone." - katerinafiore

"Milena was exactly perfect. She was calm, professional, personable and she got what could have been an unpleasant job done in a very pleasant and effective and timely way. She was helpful in all the ways I needed: she offered to help with things that were far beyond her call of duty (as I expected it to be), and was supportive and generous with both her time and her resources - which are many. Zero complaints. Whatever you've got for rent or sale, you'd be in strong, gentle, extremely competent hands. Go for it!" - radioguy10028

"Milena truly is an exceptional agent. I have worked with several real estate agents over the years (I'm sure all of us New Yorkers can say that!) but I can say that she is a fabulous example of what spectacular professional can be. Not only is she excellent an communicator, she is also a rockstar at staging, marketing, and closing the deal! If you are looking for someone who will go above and beyond, I can't give a better recommendation than Milena. Simply the best." - ckammr

"Milena is a true professional, caring, knowledgeable, and completely dedicated. She was with us every step of the way through the process of leasing our apartment. And even through a difficult situation, she got the job done and went above and beyond to take care of any and all issues that popped up. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to lease out or sell their apartment." - carla m gerace

"We bought a second apartment in the building we live as an investment. Milena gave us great suggestions on cost-effective ways to make it more rentable and then she was able to find a tenant for us within two weeks of closing (at our asking rent). The tenant has is now on his second three-year lease. My wife and I really appreciated the fact that Milena only introduced high quality tenants to us. She was very responsive and extremely pleasant to work with - a real professional. Would highly recommend! " - rbernstein8
