"Christian was a great partner and advisor throughout the home buying process. Navigating a competitive and low inventory market in Brooklyn was difficult and took time, but Christian's expertise and patience paid off. Christian helped me secure a great apartment in my ideal location, and went above and beyond during the process from the search, to advising on financing and the legal process, all the way through to renovations. I would highly recommend Christian."

"Christian was a dream to work with, and helped us achieve all of our goals in leasing out our apartment for the first time.
He worked with us in a collaborative manner to get a good understanding of our priorities -- start date, long-term tenants, minimizing apartment vacancy, pricing, etc.
We learned a lot from Christian and felt we were in the hands of an expert. He incorporated all of our preferences in order to meet all of our objectives - the experience felt very tailored to our needs.
We were moving to another country which created an added layer of stress for us, but Christian was an absolute Ace. He provided recommendations for painters and cleaners; arranged a photographer at a time that suited us; put together a professional virtual staging and advertised the property in a rapid fashion. We had an incredible 10+ viewings on Day 1, multiple competitive offers, and the lease started on our goal date.
We met all our goals, and could not have been happier with Christian's partnership in leasing our property. We highly recommend Christian's services."
"From the moment we contacted him through the closing, Christian was so attentive, knowledgeable and thoughtful. We really felt that he was our advocate during this process who always had our best interests at heart. Whenever we experienced any delays, we saw him continually follow up and help us move things forward. We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with him during this process and are very grateful to him, Emily and Alice for all of their very hard work. If I know of anyone looking to buy in Brooklyn, I will absolutely recommend your team to them!"
"Your team was patient, thoughtful, considerate, and flexible with us throughout the (long) search process. Christian is truly an excellent broker. We had such a great experience with him. He has truly become a great friend as a a result."
