"Working with Claire was an absolute pleasure- her expertise, professionalism, and dedication made the process of buying/selling our home smooth and stress-free. She sincerely went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met and provided invaluable guidance every step of the way. And, not to mention she is just one of the most lovely humans I’ve interacted with. You’ll be sad when the process is complete to not be in touch so frequently! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable agent, she is sincerely the dreamboat." - Charlotte I.

"I was introduced to Claire by another realtor I had been working with to purchase a rental investment property in Brooklyn. What stood out immediately was Claire's experience and understanding of the NYC real estate market. Claire and I worked together to find my first tenants and over the span of 7 years, Claire worked with me to rent the property several times. After relocating to another state, I decided to sell my rental apartment. Having Claire represent me for the sale was an obvious choice. Claire helped strategize on the price in the higher interest rate climate and made recommendations for staging. And despite me not being local, Claire's regular communication and attention to detail kept me assured throughout the sale process. For anyone looking to purchase a property or to rent, you can feel confident Claire will find the home that best fits for your needs." - Chris B.

"As first-time home buyers in the hustle and bustle of NYC, Shereen and I found an anchor in our real estate journey – Claire. Our search led us to a quaint 2-family brownstone in Bed-Stuy, nestled on a peaceful tree-lined block with easy access to Herbert Von King Park and public transportation.
Claire, with her invaluable expertise, became more than an agent; she was our guide and confidante. Navigating the intricacies of the market, Claire's patient counsel and meticulous approach were reassuring. She swiftly organized viewings, ensuring a smooth closing process that felt less like a transaction and more like a shared victory.
In the midst of NYC's real estate complexities, Claire's personal commitment shone through. She not only helped us overcome obstacles but turned what could have been a stressful process into a journey that led us to our dream home. Her practical advice, timely updates, and genuine dedication made all the difference.
Looking ahead, Claire isn't just our agent; she's part of our story. As we continue our journey in homeownership, we're grateful to have Claire by our side. We're confident in our decision to lean on her expertise for future real estate endeavors. And without hesitation, we'll be recommending Claire to our friends, sharing the invaluable support that goes beyond transactions. Thank you, Claire, for being the guiding light in our NYC real estate adventure.

"As a first time home buyer, I was totally unfamiliar with all the ins and outs of the process. I didn't know the first thing about getting an offer accepted, let alone securing a competitive mortgage rate. But luckily, I had Claire as my agent, which meant that I had her undivided attention and expert guidance at every step. Having Claire as our agent made an immeasurable difference – she coached us on how to best position ourselves to get our offer accepted, she educated us on the entire process and what to expect, she referred us to our mortgage lender who gave us the same level of personalized service and an excellent rate, and she helped us navigate the inevitable hiccups that come with purchasing a condo in NYC. She was patient, diligent, always available, extremely knowledgable, and went the extra mile in every way, plus – Claire knows Brooklyn – working with an agent who clearly has so much experience under her belt helped us make better decisions and have a deeper understanding of what we were looking at when trying to buy a home here. During our transaction, there were so many moving parts that we had to contend with, but Claire earned our total trust and ultimately her expert guidance not only saved us a ton of added stress, but it was the reason we were able to successfully purchase our dream apartment. Claire made it feel like working with her meant that she was personally invested in our transaction, like she was a part of our team – and she didn't just say it, she showed it, in how she made the deal happen and how she helped minimize any extra work or anxiety for us. I now know how all-consuming buying a home actually is, which means I also understand why having an agent like Claire is the difference between a migraine headache and a sigh of relief. I don't think I fully understood the importance of having an excellent real estate agent until I needed to buy a home, but now looking back, I realize what a mountainous process it really is, and why having Claire as our agent was such an advantage (for the deal and also for my personal sanity). I'm grateful to have an agent for life that I know will go to bat for me, no matter how complicated the transaction gets. Thank you, Claire!" - Emily and Catherine

"I’m almost certain that I wouldn’t have had the confidence to buy my first home if it wasn’t for Claire. It’s a daunting task for anyone, and having the right person to guide you through it makes all the difference in the world. Having known her since childhood was enough for me to take the initial plunge, but it was her expertise and enthusiasm that made the rest of the process as truly pain-free as possible. She was always happy to explain everything in detail every step of the way, and whenever there was information that needed to be obtained from other parties, she was unwaveringly proactive in tracking it down. I never felt out of the loop or in over my head, and all these months later I am grateful to say that I not only love my home, but thanks to her I can also look back fondly on the road it took to get here." - Efraim

"We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Claire McFeely! We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place or where to begin the process. After meeting with Claire, we knew instantly that she was the one for us. From the beginning she had our best interest at heart, was honest and continued to be hands-on throughout our search. She listened to our needs and wants each time we communicated, in order to hand pick places that would work for us and our future. During open houses, she was knowledgeable and prepared as well. Claire helped take the pressure off of us by asking many questions on our behalf and walked us through every step of the negotiations after we decided to make an offer. Her positive attitude kept us going and is one of the main reasons we feel that we were able to find the perfect home. We have, and will continue to, recommend Claire to many of our friends and coworkers looking to rent, buy, or sell and are confident that they will not be let down by her services." - Dana and Patrick
