Melissa and Thor were invaluable to us in the sale and moving process in New York City. Our coop was strategically priced and sold in two days! Melissa and Thor artfully staged our apartment and kindly helped in our complicated move out process to different locations. Not living full time in New York, I really appreciated their advice, availability to help and expertise in the sale of our coop. They are a great team and really understand the NYC market.

Over the course of several outings, Thor and Melissa envisioned and found a housing equation that worked for our family of six! We were looking for a unique combination of large family residence and rental income property.
Through engagement, and asking questions, Thor and Melissa managed to discover and then accommodate the vision of both of us in finding what would be both a nurturing family home and a strategic investment. With sensitivity, persistence, and humor, they helped our family actualize personal priorities of neighborhood, financial health, recreation, park space, identity, proximity to schools, community, and work. We moved with purpose to make it happen within a hard "back to school" deadline...mission accomplished!

The Thors did a first-rate job selling my mother’s estate-condition apartment. The team quickly developed a comprehensive strategy to enhance the value of the apartment. They brought in a team of experienced, hard-working tradesmen to remove old built-in cabinets and floors. The team plastered and painted the apartment. They worked under the direction of a consultant with a great eye to transform the apartment into a modern, appealing home.
The sales process was quick and the Thors were consistently responsive to our questions — even taking calls late at night and on weekends. Our family recommends the Thors without qualification and would be pleased to respond to any questions you may have.

I was interested in finding an apartment in Manhattan that would work as a pied-a-terre as well as an investment. We focused on lower Manhattan emerging neighborhoods and building quality as well as a location that would provide both current and lasting value.
Thor did an exceptional job working with my parameters, demonstrating knowledge of specific neighborhoods and their associated market values. After a considerable effort on Thor’s part, we found a high quality, best value condominium in lower Manhattan.
Even though the building was in high demand, Thor successfully assisted me with negotiating valuable concessions from the developer. More importantly, he created a positive relationship with the development and management teams which still benefits me, helped with inspections, and held each of them accountable through to the close. I have recommended him to friends and would definitely work with him again.

Thor and Melissa brought more than salesmanship to the listing, which helped us sell my mother’s apartment after she passed. They have a great communication style that allowed them to handle with sensitivity the emotional baggage that had been an obstacle to staging the apartment.
Thor & Melissa’s team painted, staged, and permitted a potential buyer to see the apartment for what it could be rather than for what it was. They put all of their design acumen into their work, making subtle changes in color scheme, furnishings and layout … it was like watching the phoenix rise.”
