"Althea is such a joy to work with! I had worked with other agents who weren't interested in getting me what I wanted but althea was dedicated to finding what I was looking for and was patient and reliable. She was also really kind and nice to work with as a person and as an agent!" (bought a 3-family townhouse in Brooklyn) ."" --Nadia Chilmonik

★★★★★
"Althea couldn’t have been more helpful, she showed me loads of great apartment options that suited my needs, and made the daunting process of first-time-buying (especially as I wasn’t familiar with NY real estate) a breeze ."" -Max Shotbolt


★★★★★
"Attentive, considerate and a great listener. Allison was honest and has the highest integrity she gave us the truth even when it didn’t necessarily lead to a sale. She’s a gem .

"We started working with Allison and Althea in January 2023. It was honestly a difficult market to navigate between the lack of inventory and the interest rates changing everyday. We even fell out of contract once due to complications out of our control, but ultimately, Allison and Althea were always responsive to help us decide what to do at every step based on their experiences. When we got back on the market, they helped us negotiate the unit we loved for a price that we were happy with and connected us with a really great real estate attorney. They went the extra mile to ensure all the parties did what they were supposed to do and we are happy with how everything turned out in the end. ."" -Anh PhongTran

"Allison was a lifesaver. After a mix of working with flakey brokers and unresponsive agents, we finally found Allison. She’s prompt. Honest, and truly the most friendly person we met out there. And we met a lot of people. She helped us snag a perfect apartment and I think….we’re friends now?? You’d be lucky to work with her. - !""

"Althea helped my partner and I with all of our questions before we moved from Seattle to New York. She was super helpful with how the real estate process works and took time out of her day to help us. We highly recommend! - !"" -Megan Sample

★★★★★
"Althea was amazing to work with. As a first time home-buyer, she helped me navigate NYC’s complex buying process and worked with me from start to finish. She went out of her way to be helpful — attending listings with me, doing comps, navigating the paperwork, putting me in touch with relevant experts (ie for home inspection), helping find furniture (!), negotiating, the list goes on.. from start to finish and even after, she’s been incredibly helpful and it was great working with her. She was also very flexible and responsive to some constraints I had on my side, as well as very knowledgeable about the area. I could not imagine working with a better agent!! "" --Aditi,

"Althea is a wonderful real estate agent! Reliable, prompt, thorough, friendly. My fiancé and I absolutely love our 1 BR in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, and we could not have gotten it without Althea. Once we let her know our budget and criteria, she found the PERFECT place for us within a few hours. Beautiful building with a courtyard, spacious apt, all-new appliances (including dishwasher), laundry in the basement, a fantastic Super, and easy access to 4 subway lines. All for a VERY reasonable rent price. We've been living in our place for more than a year now and we are still thrilled with it. "" -Lucy Van Atta,
