"I had such a great experience working with Tami when I bought my latest apartment. She really listened to what I was looking for in a home and incorporated those elements into our search. Tami was also open and honest throughout the process, qualities that are so important in a real estate agent, particularly since you're making a pretty significant financial commitment. It also helps that Tami has a background in interior design - it was so helpful in our search when she would make suggestions on furniture and room layout - that actually helped in my final decision and I'm so happy with my new home as a result. I've since recommended Tami to several friends and continue to refer her service."
★★★★★
"I am about to close on my first apartment in Manhattan which I found thanks to Tami. She listened to me, addressed my needs and wants and focused on finding me something truly valuable within my price range. She set up tours around my schedule and was very efficient in showing me several options at a time. Each one was worth considering. She is reliable, responsive and honest and I would highly recommend her to help you find your new apartment"
★★★★★
"Tami helped me both buy a coop and help me rent out my old one. I used her twice because I was completely satisfied with her work the first time, and couldn't imagine using anyone else. She was thorough, helped me with the board package, responsive, honest and easy to work with. The purchase had some issues from the sellers side, and she worked with them, and pushed for whatever was in my best interest. She didn't push me to see apartments that weren't right for me. She didn't waste my time. For the apartment I rented, she had a choice of two renters, and picked the one that she felt would be the easiest for me to work with in the future. I've since met both and she was right! I will use her again when needed, and recommend her highly!"
★★★★★
"It took us YEARS to find our home. And, at no point, did Tami ever give up on us or push us into a decision that wasn't right for us. Tami spent time every day, updating listings and chasing down leads on potential homes. In the end, she found us the perfect home at a price that was actually UNDER market value! We are well in the money with our investment and we have Tami to thank. She even helped us AFTER the purchase by guiding us through a renovation and redecorating process. We cannot stress enough how wonderful she was to us. We would highly recommend her to anyone we care about."
★★★★★
"There is not enough me and my husband can say about how wonderful it was to work with Tami. She was so thorough with the entire process of buying a home and always made us feel comfortable. Buying a home is such a hard thing to do especially in New York City. Emotions run high and you want a real estate agent who remains calm, is sweet and easy to deal with but is also on point and gets it done! From the search, to the find, to the downpayment we were SO please with our experience and recommend Tami highly!"
