"Karin did a fantastic job assisting us with the purchase of our home. She was always helpful, knowledgeable, willing to talk through any issues or questions, happy to point out things we had not thought to ask about, and was constantly in contact with us throughout the entire process. We felt very lucky to work with her!"

"Deena was a pleasure to work with! Her knowledge of the area was excellent, as she showed us around and then made sure we saw a variety of homes within our budget. She never made us feel rushed to make a decision, and was in tune to our likes and dislikes, which helped us feel good about our decision to buy when the right time came to put an offer on a home. Her professionalism and friendliness combined made the whole process seamless. I would highly recommend working with Deena.."

"We worked with Karin Kimtis for over a year as we searched for a new home in Westchester for our growing family. Given the competitiveness of the current market and our specific requirements, the search was long (we saw at least 25 houses) with many trials and tribulations along the way. Karin did a great job identifying potential options for us and always went above and beyond in her responsiveness, customer service and detail oriented approach. Furthermore, she was extremely communicative and highly reliable. We were unfamiliar with Westchester and appreciated her high level of knowledge about the local markets. To the extent we wanted additional information on a neighborhood, she was always quick to put us in touch with a contact who could provide additional insights. Karin was an absolute pleasure to work with and we wholeheartedly recommend Karin to assist you in your search for a new home in Westchester."
George Grofik

Her deep knowledge of the Westchester market was invaluable, and she made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. We highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in the area. "
Matt Landry

"We found a wonderful guide to the Westchester real estate market in Deena-- she knows everyone, all the houses (good and bad) and provided many useful tips throughout our search. Her sense of humor and balanced approach made our search fun and relatively painless. We feel so fortunate to have found our new home, new community and a new neighbor and friend in Deena! "
Aura Parks

★★★★★
"I can’t say enough wonderful things about working with our real estate agent, Deena! My husband and I were new to the East Coast, and she made us feel welcome and right at home. As first-time home buyers we had a million questions, and Deena was highly responsive as well as patient with us. She is also extremely knowledgeable of the real estate market in Westchester County. I learned so much throughout the entire process. This 2021/2022 housing market has been wild, but Deena helped us negotiate for a great price on a home we absolutely love. Thank you, Deena, for making our home buying experience so easy and enjoyable. We are really looking forward to making memories in our new home! "
Emily K Feister

★★★★★
"We were first-time home buyers, and in this crazy market, Deena helped us close on the very first home we made an offer on. She's professional, knowledgable, helpful, and really fun to work with. 10/10 recommend to anyone buying or selling in Westchester. Thanks Deena!"
Frances Allman

★★★★★
"Deena’s knowledge of the local market combined with her down to earth approach makes her a wonderful asset if your are buying or selling a home. Deena found, negotiated and closed on a property on our behalf that had multiple offers and we couldn’t be happier. "
Max Spiro

★★★★★
"Valerie is the most honest real estate salesperson I have ever met. We were moving from Brooklyn to Northern Westchester but did not know the areas well. Valerie took the time to really get to know us and understand what we were looking for. She showed us around Pleasantville and recommended local places to visit so we can better understand the town and surrounding areas. When it came to looking for a home, I cannot say enough about Valerie's thoroughness and diligence and ensuring that we have made the absolutely right decision. We were still living in the city and had to rely and trust her with this process. We had a ton of questions about locations, taxes, condition of homes, etc... She was so honest and thorough to the point of talking us out of wasting our time and visiting houses she knew would not be a fit for us (she was right!). Several times, Valerie also went to the VIllage office to help us figure out a few tax questions. I can go on and on. We are so happy with the home we finally purchased and it's all because of Valerie's amazing help. I cannot recommend her enough!"
