"I only have the highest praise and recommendation for Janet Brenner. Janet’s experience and knowledge about the current real estate market is very impressive. She came fully prepared, and her research supported her suggestion of the listing price. With her recommendation, Janet staged the apartment, and she brought in an excellent photographer and videographer to show our home off to its best advantage. She worked tirelessly and with great expertise to market the apartment. Through her diligence, we were even picked up by the Wall Street Journal as the HOUSE OF THE DAY. Janet was always available to show the apartment and within a few short weeks, we had an accepted offer. The negotiation with the prospective buyer became quite complicated, but Janet stayed on it and resolved all terms with grace and enthusiasm. Janet is the model real estate professional, she is warm, works endlessly on behalf of her clients, and is a wonderful person with whom to work. I will tell everyone I know that they would be crazy to work with anyone other than Janet Brenner." - Lois R., 5th Avenue, Manhattan
"I am so grateful to have worked with Janet Brenner during my recent search to buy an apartment. As a first-time buyer, Janet skillfully lead me through the home buying process. She used her extensive experience to help make the process of buying a co-op in NYC as seamless as possible. She was involved with every part of the process, from helping me find the perfect apartment for me to helping me quickly move through the closing. Once we found the right apartment, Janet helped me prepare everything I needed for the board package and worked with me and my lawyer to make sure the contract covered everything that was important to me. She was there with me through every step of it making sure that nothing was overlooked. I strongly recommend Janet to every home buyer I know, whether you’re buying your first, second, or third home, Janet will help guide you through the process to get you the results you want. Janet is an exceptional real estate professional, and I am lucky to have had her on my side, and if you work with Janet then you will feel lucky too." - Irina V., 3rd Avenue, Manhattan
"If you ever need help with New York real estate, the only answer is Janet Brenner. She truly saved our lives this week. " - Alex W., W 150th Street, Manhattan
"Having recently sold my Upper West Side co-op apartment, I am writing to express deep appreciation and respect for Compass Real Estate Agent Janet Brenner. I wholeheartedly recommend her. Throughout, Janet facilitated a sale in which everyone’s success was served. … Janet is professional in every way. She is resourceful: her team of stagers, painters and movers treated my studio sale with the same respect offered to bigger, possibly more remunerative jobs. With genuine interest and skilled teamwork, she wove everyone into a community with the common goal of a successful sale. Janet’s many years in real estate gives her a depth that evokes confidence. She listened: throughout I felt both educated in a sometimes-unfamiliar territory and respectfully heard when I occasionally questioned a decision or voiced a different opinion. Janet obviously loves her work and is always learning. I accepted a “top dollar’ offer immediately after the first open house and the sale moved forward easily. If Janet Brenner becomes your sales agent, you are fortunate indeed!" - Julia G., W 73rd Street, Manhattan
"I am so appreciative of everything you did in selling my NYC apartment. Your respect for me and my home, knowledge of the market and experience to price correctly really delivered a positive experience. Selling the apartment was definitely bittersweet for me so I really was taken with your care, kindness, and keen expertise.
I'm so grateful we had the opportunity to work together - truly, thank you." - Michele V., East 35th Street, Manhattan
"Janet took a very overwhelming process and made it somehow manageable. She always knows the right questions to ask and was so helpful in navigating the search for a home. I’m so grateful for her dedication, her keen eye, her honesty, and her support. " - Ian W., West 122nd St, Manhattan
"To the lucky potential clients of Janet Brenner,
We were transplants from California where real estate transactions can be closed in days and where cash deals close with ease.
We arrived in NY as inexperienced buyers in this amazing city. We were unaware of the importance of a skilled, dedicated and knowledgeable agent. We learned quickly that your NY agent is the key to your success in closing the deal of your dreams!
Enter Janet Brenner. Our life saver, our mentor, our negotiator, and now after closing two transactions with her by our side, she is our trusted agent.
Janet is relentless as she works every deal with the ease of interjecting herself so that it appears seamless.
Janet has the unusual ability to make you feel as though you are her only concern. She handles your transaction with her most pleasantly professional personality. Always a smile! She is dedicated to her work and to her clients. Janet exudes the warmth and reassurance that leaves an impression of confidence.
It is not often that you do business with someone who at the end of a transaction you truly miss the interaction.
It is with my sincere appreciation for Janet Brenner that i highly recommend her as your agent.
All the best," - Mary F., Compton Chase, Central Park South
"Lisa and I serendipitously met Janet Brener in June of 2022 while searching for a coop in Manhattan to purchase as a pied-a-terre and immediately understood that we had finally found a real estate agent who was not only professional but also – and, perhaps, more importantly – caring and empathetic. Without batting an eye, Janet helped us through the arduous process of purchasing a coop apartment in New York City. We cannot express our gratitude to Janet strongly enough for her outstanding work and friendship. She was professional every step of the way and understood my wife and me intuitively from the moment we met nor can we find words strong enough to urge others to use Janet Brenner’s services in their apartment search. She is – as this former and returned New Yorker would put it – the “genuine article!”" - Rabbi S. & Lisa P., Sutton Place
