Toni Nicolo

★★★★★

"It may be odd to say that your real estate agent is one of your favorite people, but I know of no other way to describe Toni Nicolo. I had never purchased a home in the City, and was torn about when I wanted to move, where I wanted to move, or even what type of home I wanted to buy – I felt overwhelmed and daunted, and told Toni that I had no idea how or when or where to begin. Toni jumped into action, and had me send her some apartments and homes I liked – and she was off. She started making appointments, made herself available at all hours and all days, and put up with me looking at places in both Manhattan and basically every corner of Brooklyn. We saw new construction, we looked at plans together, and we saw house and apartment after apartment (and discussed design and renovation tips all along the way), and ultimately made it possible for us to see what has become my house on the very first day it was on the market. She knowledgably guided me through the dreaded bidding war, and advised me on the letter I wrote to the sellers that made the difference – although I was not the highest bid, they accepted my offer – and the seller’s agent commented on how appreciative he was of Toni’s approach, and how reasonable she was to deal with. She continued to help me negotiate after the draft contract, and showed up for the inspection ready to test every electric socket. She held my hand – figuratively, this was all Covid, after all – through the whole process with the perfect balance of support, encouragement, excitement, and patience. Along the way she became my friend because she is also wonderful to spend time with, and has a true sense of design and appreciation for the aesthetic I was seeking, which I truly valued. I trust her, I value her opinion, and I would recommend her, unconditionally, to anyone looking to buy a home they love in New York. " - Brooke

“Having Toni to guide us through the process of finding and purchasing our dream home felt like a gift from the real estate Gods. Her perceptiveness to our needs and her expertise of the nyc market was exactly what we needed as first time homebuyers. She approached our search as if she were looking for herself, determined to get us exactly what we wanted (which didn’t even seem possible!). Not to mention the timing, amidst the pandemic and the uncertainty of how it would affect the market. Toni made the entire extensive process feel seamless. We are thrilled and elated with our new home, and it wouldn’t have been possible without her mastery." - Marissa & Michael Calogero
