Market Reports
"We had the privilege of selling our home and buying our new home with Usha. She was accommodating, informative and patient. Her advise and preparation prior to listing our home enabled us to sell it quickly. We also negotiated and purchased our new home thanks to Usha’s extensive experience and knowledge of the market and neighborhood. We highly recommend her first class service."
"I saw a flier from Usha team in my mail and decided to meet her to discuss my upcoming sale of my house. She was warm and very knowledgeable about local market and my street house sale history. We were head on to hire her as our agent. She helped me a great deal on what to do and not do. She helped staging the house and guided me through “as built” permit application to our building department. She had her team took photos and videos to list my house. In three days after the listing, she signed a purchase deal with a buyer for a price we are very happy with. Now we sold our house during Covid19 period in three months after we met her. We really appreciated Usha’s knowledge, professionalism, getting things done attitude, expertises in various areas in helping me navigating all the processes. We are highly recommend Usha to our friends and my network to have Usha to be their agent, buy or sale."
"Jackpot. Winning the lottery. Dumb luck. These are the terms my husband and I regularly use when we talk about how we managed to land Usha as our realtor. We purchased our first home through her -- an extremely competitive property that had a multitude of offers that were likely better than ours -- and have no doubt that it was because of Usha's efforts that we acquired it. We had very little experience going in, but from the beginning of our search, Usha worked tirelessly and patiently with us (all the more remarkable given that we started looking with her with a newborn who required constant nursing!), and made certain that we were well-informed and comfortable every step of the way. I could speak at length about her professionalism, responsiveness, intelligence, and unflagging commitment to finding you a home. I could also tell you that everyone we came across that had worked with her (sellers, lawyers, etc.) all commented on these exact traits and more, and spoke of her with utmost regard. But what I found most special about Usha was her unfailing positivity, which in turn never failed to buoy our spirits. There's no better way to put it: Usha is the Hermione Granger of Westchester real estate. We hope to buy and sell all our future properties through her." - Grace C.
"We know Usha from our friends. She recommends Usha to us. I met her for our first door tour with a lot of friends. She is a super nice real estate professional. 1. She has a super sensitive about language. We are not a native speaker, but we never struggling with communication because no matter how short we convey our idea or how bad we pronounciate words she can quickly get the meaning. 2. She has very impressive local knowledge. As she said, she lives in the Westchester area since she was born. She knows every inch about the land and every screenshot about the history before meeting with you for the tour. 3. She knows lots of -related knowledge. She can answer most of the questions you can come up with the , such as how about the material used, what's good and what is not good... If she cannot, she will do more research on it. 4. She also responds to your email// very quickly. And recommends price the first round and give suggestion about how to bargain. 5. She has a beautiful smile and a very mind. And her team is great too. Special thanks to Lori too. " - Fangli - Armonk
"What most struck me about working with Usha was how smart she is. She really does her research, and is completely prepared to answer every question you might ask. She has a vast network of colleagues in Chappaqua, and the surrounding area, and as a result, she was able to get complicated things done in a very short period of time. example, we looked at a one morning, and by the afternoon, we had already been pre-approved the mortgage, scheduled inspections, and had our bid accepted, all thanks to her contacts. Buying a is a tough, tricky business, and despite how brutal it can get, you always feel as though Usha is on your side, looking out you. She has a really good heart, which combined with her intelligence, makes her a truly unique real estate broker. I can't recommend working with her enough!" - Brienne W.
"We can't say enough good things about Usha Subramaniam. Usha and her family have been neighbors of ours in Chappaqua many years. She a warm, caring, bright and incredibly energetic person who consistently goes above and beyond as a neighbor and an active member of the community. When it came time to buy a our daughter and her young family, we knew who we wanted at our side. As anticipated, she has gone above and beyond in helping us find just the right them in Mt. Kisco. Usha knows people as well as she knows houses and the real estate market, which is saying a lot. She is always positive and upbeat. She understood clearly what we were looking and what our budget was. We are not the easiest clients, and this was never going to be the biggest of deals, but Usha was always there us -- through the search process, through the ups and downs that came with getting to and then to closing on a smaller, older that was going to need some work. She was supportive, and honest -- and did her best to keep us calm -- throughout. We love the , even though there is still a lot of work to be done, and will always thank Usha helping us pick it out and buy it. We would recommend her to anyone, without hesitation.
Usha is unlike any other realtor we've dealt with. She agreed to help us search our home and was not deterred by the fact that we had already spent 2 unsuccessful years searching ourselves. Usha stayed positive and tirelessly searched to help us with our admittedly difficult wish list. We were excited to find the we had been waiting and Usha was quick to place our offer. Throughout the course of our time spent in contracts she communicated with us and the seller regularly and kept everyone in motion so that we would not lose our rate lock. Usha managed to help us close on time in a down-to-the-minute situation and we are thrilled to now own an amazing home. We highly recommend Usha!

"Extremely satisfied and happy with Usha's support to us. We are Expats into US, so I was steeling myself a really hard time finding a home and setting things up. I wrote to 8-10 odd agents in the area seeking support to find a home, and Usha was the most responsive.
I would recommend Usha to anyone looking home in the Westchester area the following reasons:
1. She was the most responsive of 8-10 odd agents we reached out to in the area. She was very prompt on emails, making it easy us to select our top picks much before we actually landed in the area. This upfront work helped us sign the lease on our home literally a day after we arrived in the US saving us time and hotel stay expenses, not to mention the mental peace that comes with finding a base.
2. Her local area knowledge and existing relationships make it easier to find the right home which compliments the lifestyle. She spent good amount of time initially in understanding our requirements, budget, priorities and throughout the process her recommendations for the home were based on the lifestyle we wanted to have, rather than just the home alone. This in hindsight is the BIGGEST reason I would go to her again and again (this is why perhaps just Zillow searches on the internet are not enough and one needs a REAL person/ agent). It's little things like - this is by a nature trail, avoid this area as no park nearby your kid, heavy traffic on this road, etc that a local person can help with, and in that regard Usha's knowledge is unmatched. As a result we now have a home that's working us holistically as against just finding us " roof over our heads".
3. When we arrived in the US, she again spent considerable time with us driving around various towns and showing us simple things like local schools, train station, eateries, banks, etc. All this on day 1 made me very confident of my choice of location and .
4. She knows the process inside out.
Thanks again Usha and Houlihan Lawrence you're very lucky to have her!! She believes in Human Connect first and foremost and I wish more agents imbibe the same Mantra. - Help the clients find a home that brings their whole lifestyle together rather than just a

"Usha was extremely easy to work with and responsive, and we found our home 48 hours after contacting her. She expertly helped us navigate the home buying process. Her professionalism and thorough approach allowed us to understand the full history of the home prior to our purchase. She went consistently above and beyond her job to put us at ease and address our concerns. She has a positive personality coupled with a forward leaning businsss mind that helps buyers navigate the market. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to first time or experienced home buyers" - Zahra
"We just bought our very 1st and Usha was a tremendous help, helping us navigate through an unsuspected long process, giving us tips and people to ... Everything went really smoothly and we realized how important it is to have a great agent to help you! As a person, she is very nice and funny and would always quickly answer any questions we would mail. Great experience!
" - Delphine
"Usha is the DREAM partner to work with! Due to the COVID-19 situdation, I can't travel back to the US to sell my house, I could NEVER imagine that I will be able to sell the house if without Usha's AMAZING help! She went out of her way (way beyond her responsbilities) fixing all the problems, cleaning the house, dumping the stuff... This is something no regular realtor would do, Only the best partner like Usha can make it happen. Due to the time difference, for quite a few times Usha has to call me at her very late evenings, which makes me truly touched. A massive THANK YOU to Usha and her team. I'll definitely come to you for my future realestate needs and recommend Usha to everyone who are looking for the best realtor to work with!

"Usha is a terrific broker! By working with her, you will find smooth communication, efficient responses, and, most importantly, insights of the target property that you cannot simply achieve online. She is always very honest with the pros and cons of a property and will present those to you your overall consideration. When it’s going to my bidding, our case is almost the “worst” case — we were bumped out two times after the sellers accepting our offers. Usha was being very supportive all the time. Advocating the best interest of her clients, she provided very practical suggestions on my offerings. She coordinated tirelessly and efficiently between the sellers and never pushed me to bid blindly when there was a bidding war. (Believe it or not, some brokers push hard just to get their ASAP without caring your best interest.) Usha also did a lot out of her duty us as a courtesy and her service definitely exceeded our expectations. I am glad I chose Usha as my broker at the very beginning. She is a person that you not want to work with but also build a long term friendship with. I strongly recommend Usha."
"Usha and her team at Compass are top notch. Professional and personable. Usha was of great guidance to us during the listing and sales process. She was knowledgeable and helped keep the sale/closing process moving along without issue.. "
