Client Testimonials

★★★★★

“From the moment Olivier walked into our apartment, we knew he was the one. We were interviewing several agents to represent us in the sale of our home. He made us feel special, was well-prepared and he knew all the comps not only in our building but in the area in general.

All the other brokers treated selling our home just like another sale. Olivier’s approach was more personal, yet professional at the same time. After all, selling your home is more than just a transaction.

Because we were out of town owners, Olivier went above and beyond to prepare the apartment before putting it on the market. After each showing, he gave us a detailed report about the potential buyers and their comments. After we had an accepted offer, he guided us through the journey from contract to closing.

We appreciated his professionalism, expertise and his kindness. He made a potentially stressful experience into something positive. My husband and I both recommend Olivier and Compass without reservation.” - Richard Shapiro

"We were moving back to Manhattan and Olivier was a great help to accompany us through the hurdles of buying in a Fifth Avenue co-op building. He is a skilled and persistent agent and we always felt he had our best interests in mind. We are now very happy to be able to enjoy our apartment facing Central Park. Thanks to his hard work and assistance every step of the way!" - Marie & Masashi

"I am a real estate investor in other states. I am familiar with the industry and the process, but when it came to buying my own place in New York City, I had to rely on someone professional who knows New York’s market. A friend of mine told me about Olivier and during our first conversation, I knew he was the guy for me. He is strategic, fair and a good negotiator. He went above and beyond, picked me at the airport each time I came to New York and toured me around the city so I can get more familiar with the targeted neighborhoods. After two trips, we identified a property and we got it at a great price. I would recommend Olivier to anyone purchasing or selling in New York." - Hua W.

"I was not satisfied with my previous broker, so I met with Samantha and Olivier. They were very responsive and marketing savvy. My condo apartment in front of Lincoln Center was on the market for several months with no serious offers on the table. They proposed a new strategy including taking it off the market, staging it and creating new marketing collaterals. Right away we got three offers and some were all cash. They are very creative and know how to sell. I will definitely call them back!" - Tom S

"Olivier handled the sale of my condo apartment in the city during one of the most challenging times: the COVID pandemic. The market was stalling, but he never gave up. Thanks to his persistence, he got it done at a fair price. If he could help me during that challenging time, I can just imagine what he could do in a market with better conditions! I would recommend him for any of your real estate needs." - Tony D.
