The Devine Team

★★★★★
"We could not have been happier with our experience with Sean as our broker in the sale of our townhouse. Sean skillfully guided us throughout the entire process with knowledge and foresight. He had an excellent understanding of the NYC real estate market and we managed to settle on a very favorable price. We had a complicated sale by design and in every meeting and negotiation with lawyers and buyers, Sean was always the one person in the room we knew we could trust to give us the best advice. His commission paid for his expertise many times over and I would consider myself lucky to be able to work with Sean again in the future." - Seller, Murray Hill Townhouse

★★★★★
"The absolute BEST & I mean best real estate broker we've ever worked with. My partner and I bought and sold our apartment with Sean. in the interim we also worked with him to find us renters. After all this he feels like family. we trusted him at every stage, followed his insightful advice and succeeded in getting the best offers and smooth negotiations. I recommend him to all of my NYC friends all the time" - Three time clients, who we helped to buy, rent, and sell

"Spectacular advice throughout the transaction process, constant availability and handholding, earned a huge amount of trust. Extremely experienced, and tremendous depth of knowledge of NYC and U.S. real estate market. Would recommend to anyone and everyone." - Greenwich Village buyers

★★★★★
"We worked with Sean for our apartment purchase, and twice to rent out the property to tenants. All of our experiences with Sean have been great and we always recommend him to our friends who are in need of a good broker. We have been especially impressed with his ability to rent our apartment so quickly, twice now, and to get both sets of tenants swift approval with our co-op board. We are now on the West coast and were able to trust Sean to take care of finding us tenants, which can be daunting being so far away. Sean is also very knowledgeable about the real estate market and gave us very practical advice each time we came to him. I would absolutely recommend Sean for buying, selling or renting in NYC!" - Four-time clients, who we helped buy, rent (x2), and sell on the Upper West Side

"The Devine Team is the best! They helped us find our apartment in NYC, and held our hand through the entire process, which is enormously complex. Sean answered every question and phone call and made it a lot less stressful, explaining every step along the way, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Cheers to The Devine Team! Wouldn’t recommend anyone else." - NoHo buyers

"Sean Devine and his team handled the sale of our FiDI condo sale professionally and with great skill and care. We live in New England, and the Devine Team served as our "feet on the ground" to arrange for the cleaners, painters, stagers and window repair services. They also handled the meetings with bank appraisers and conducted many open houses. They provided great insights into the market and were a great help in negotiating the purchase and sale agreement and in facilitating the closing. We could not have been happier with their services!" - Financial District seller

★★★★★
"Sean is a great person, very patient yet competent and responsive. His having a law degree is very handy because real estate can be complicated and Sean made things simple, for us. He was a great buffer between us and some crazy sellers, always keeping an even keel, and committed to helping us find the right place, always maintaining his good humor no matter how many apartments we visited, until we found “the one”. In short he is dependable, intelligent, empathic, the best experience we could have hoped for. And this matters as real estate is going to be the most expensive purchase in your life." - Tribeca buyers

★★★★★
"Sean was a patient and immensely helpful guide for us, during our search and relocation to NYC. He was especially helpful during a particularly messy (thanks to the seller) negotiation and sale. He quickly understood our requirements and sought out properties that met them well. We ended up having to choose between multiple apartments we'd have been happy with - but ended with our "dream" apartment! I'd recommend Sean without reservation!" - Chelsea buyers

★★★★★
"Sean was totally fantastic. Responsive, patient, knowledgeable, and a great advocate throughout the entire process. He helped with my search and in all my negotiations; he also introduced me to a phenomenal banking team. In an at times crazy and overwhelming process, Sean was a godsend. I would unequivocally recommend him, and look forward to working with him again in the future! " - Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, buyer

★★★★★
"As a first time buyer, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. And I couldn't be more grateful that Sean came into my life to take care of me in this process. I absolutely, positively cannot imagine doing this without him. He took the time to show me apartment after apartment, each one getting giving him an informed a sense of what I want and don't want. He was great at providing a ton of information about types of buildings and neighborhoods. Also, with a law background he understands negotiation at a high level. All in all, it felt like I gained a PhD in real estate with the amount of knowledge Sean imparted on me throughout this process. I am incredibly fortunate for him, and have vowed to send anyone and everyone to him to have the same comfort I had in going through something as complex and crazy as buying an apartment." - Greenwich Village buyer

★★★★★
"Sean was the best part of our experience aside from the actual place we bought. It was our first purchase and we had worked with a few agents prior who were no where near as helpful as Sean was. He was very patient with us and explained everything in a respectful manner to keep us informed along the way. He was kind and personable. We actually still keep in touch with him as he was such a great person during this somewhat stressful time. We recommend Sean without any reservations especially for first time buyers. We plan to hopefully make another purchase in the future and hope to have Sean help us with that as well." - Kips Bay buyers

★★★★★
"Sean helped us buy and sell our apartment on the Upper West Side. He was super helpful in finding us a place, and getting it 100k under the listing price. He also helped us sell our apartment during a buyers market. He was really patient with us as we learned how the process worked since it was our first time buying and selling. I definitely recommend him and will be using his services in the future! " - Two time clients, who we helped to buy and sell on the Upper West Side

★★★★★
"We had a complicated move because we were coming from England. The Devine Team helped us find a place when we were not even here! Abe would go to open houses and video call us. He also had a good sense of WHERE and WHAT a family would want. Abe had a lot of patience with us on an emotional level as well. I have lived in NYC but was really enjoying England and was not to happy to move back. My daughter also sent Abe looking at apartments and he was always helpful and kind....plus he is funny. If you have to go through a stressful situation, you want to be with someone who makes you laugh. AND the team at Devine did take a lot of stress of us by expertly navigating the complex Co-Op process. Again, I was a drama queen as I REALLY did not like that process but they made it as easy as possible with their team. The back end team in the office moved everything forward and kept us on track. Communication was consistent and we always knew what we had to do. Organized team. Abe got us a house in an incredible area, within our budget and low monthly fees and an incredible team of men that work here at the door and more. Other agents were only sending houses with $10,000 a month Condo or Co-Op fees. That was no feasible for us. We gave Abe A LOT of demands of what we wanted and he got us each one. And Abe is honest. Great team. My daughter found them when my husband and I were giving up and thinking NYC would not be a reality and we would need to go to the suburbs. We met all the team too. Great team. And they helped us get A GREAT attorney too. " - Sutton Place buyers

★★★★★
"The Devine Team was instrumental in helping us buy our home in Brooklyn. This was our first time considering purchasing a home, and there was a lot for us to learn. Abe, Sean and Nirali helped guide us through a 1+ year home search amidst an unpredictable market and rapidly changing personal circumstances. Through it all, they were patient, informative and mindful of our priorities and preferences. This helped us make a confident decision and, crucially, move efficiently through the closing process. We recommend them without hesitation. Thanks Devine Team!" - Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, buyers

★★★★★
"I highly recommend the Devine team. Sean is a calming presence during what can be a fraught process, and was always available to us no matter the demands on his schedule (he was texting with us while he was abroad on vacation!). Sean was able to provide answers for every question that came up, and his colleagues were tremendously helpful and professional as we negotiated board approval and the closing process. They made the daunting experience of buying a home in New York City much simpler, and we are very grateful!" - Fort Greene, Brooklyn, buyers

"Co-led by Sean and Nirali with legal backgrounds and over a decade of experience, The Devine Team exceeded my expectations in every possible way. From the start, the team evidenced their market intelligence and superior efficiency in executing deals. Kyung diligently monitored the market for me and effectively evaluated upcoming rentals, managing my expectations every step of the way. He annualized the costs associated with each type of housing to help make the proper judgements, and ultimately sourced the perfect home that offered me everything I wished for while staying within my budget. The team meticulously utilized technology with their market expertise to put together a board package that was approved in record time and sealed the deal. The experience was truly impressive and I am beyond thrilled to live my new dream home." - Upper West Side Client

"Sean and his team are the best in NYC. They provided us with unmatched expertise, thoughtfulness, and heartfelt care throughout the process of buying our condo in Brooklyn, NY. As first time homebuyers in a complex, competitive market, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed, but Sean and his team helped ease that tension every step of the way, helping us understand the tricky nuances and various aspects of the emotional and financial decision making process throughout the journey. We asked a million questions, and Sean was always reachable, timely, incredibly thorough, and helpful. If he didn't know the answer to a question, he connected us with trusted experts along the way. He introduced us to our attorney and several other experts. During our closing, Sean really went to bat for us and helped save us thousands of dollars. His dedication, knowledge, and tremendous experience is an asset to anyone looking to buy, rent, or sell. We could not recommend Sean and his team more. " - Crown Heights, Brooklyn, buyers

"I could not have asked for a better representation in my first home purchase and would highly recommend Sean in your real estate transaction! Sean played a crucial role in the process and made it into one of the best experience! He was extremely responsive, patient and knowledgable in answering all my questions and concerns. He has a passion to help others to navigate the complicated NY real estate market. From the first phone call, he listened and noted my asks and concerns. He analyzed listings and was able to quickly identify listings suitable to my asks. Once we found "the one", Sean jumped right in and negotiated a deal that was better than expected. He also has a great network of contacts, from attorney to insurance agent; every contact he've referred has performed beyond my expectation. Also, make sure to check out Sean's instagram, it contains lots of real estate market information and knowledge that can give you an idea of his depth of knowledge. " - Greenwood buyer

★★★★★
"Sean was incredibly helpful and important in my apartment search. I was a first-time buyer and incredibly cautious. He was patient, so knowledgeable, and generous with his time. Sean is super quick to respond and knows exactly what questions to ask. His law-mind gives him a larger view of real estate than others, in fact, my lawyer complimented me on my choice of agent and recognized the quality of his work. Sean is top notch and has a great eye for deals and well-built apartments. Over the 4.5 years I've worked with Sean, I've never felt like he was wasting my time or selling me something I didn't want, and that is SO rare. He made the search process easier and stuck with me through a very lengthy contract to closing, making sure I was informed every step of the way and getting updates before I even asked for them. I highly recommend working with Sean!" - Three time client, who we helped buy and sell in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and buy in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn
