”I have worked with Sharon Cohen various times, as she has helped me secure the right property for my needs and budget and also sell my Brooklyn home, fast and efficiently. Also helping me find the next home, with a strong, clear strategy.

I wouldn’t ever consider working with anyone else.”
Christopher T. Brooklyn Home Owner. ”

”I’ve worked with several brokers before and Sharon is by far the most competent and knowledgeable. I knew she was a keeper when she handed me a folder at our first showing with a detailed itinerary (including timeframes, scheduled breaks, google map, and face sheet of each listing) for the 8 properties I had picked out to see in one day. She intimately understands the neighborhoods and gives good advice geared towards what you are looking for. There is no shying away from cost calculations and her ballpark estimates are usually spot on. Sharon is more than just a broker – she only finds you the place, but also provides solid contacts for all the ancillary people you need to accomplish your goals. You will go wrong if you choose her to represent.”

“Sharon is extremely capable, knowledgeable and efficient .She was a pleasure to deal with. We were so impressed with her when we purchased a brownstone, through her, that after we did a gut renovation, we engaged her again to rent the units--- which she did in two day's time. The entire experience was handled beautifully. I highly recommend Sharon Cohen.”

“My husband and I were searching for a for a year with another broker, during that time I became pregnant and increasingly desperate to find a place. I met Sharon at an she was having and complained about my situation. She looked at me and said “I have the perfect for you” and she did. Since then Sharon helped us purchase an additional property for my in-laws. She really understands her clients needs, is amazing at negotiating deals and all around helpful. I wish I buy another so I can hang out with her again.”
