Client Testimonials

★★★★★

"If you want a real estate dynamic duo that actually takes your best interest to heart, Lauren and Deborah are it. They will help you, in the most professional way and find you the perfect home in New York City." - Carl Spadaro

★★★★★

“Deb and Lauren treated us like family from our very first call. Our situation could have been tricky as LA-based buyers looking for an investment property in Manhattan, and with very tight parameters, but this dream team made it stress free, educational and FUN. They set up a tour during our east coast visit, showing up 10 apartments in one day, ALL of which were excellent options and one of which we now own! Deb and Lauren went above and beyond to make the process seamless for us, and their expertise on the market secured us what we truly consider the deal of a lifetime. We are eternally grateful, and they're stuck with us for life ;)” - Jessie Rosen
