    Very disappointed! I responded to a co-op listed by her/ her team for rental. Multiple emails, multiple texts, no responses to phone calls later, I was able to confirm a time to see it. When I went to see it, she was pleasant, claimed someone else also mentioned having a hard time reaching via text/ calls (never answered phone calls btw). I submitted all the information requested to be considered for the apt. After that, completely ghosted! I texted, emailed, to check on the app and follow up- zero responses. Its fine if I am not selected. However, professional courtesy would be to let someone know, especially after MULTIPLE attempts to contact via emails/ texts. Would never recommend or use for future rentals or purchases.

    A Realtor You Can Trust As someone who has had the pleasure of working with Cindy Chen both as a buyer and a seller, I can confidently say she is an outstanding realtor. My experience with Cindy during our apartment transition within ManhattanaEUR"selling one apartment and purchasing anotheraEUR"showcased her exceptional professionalism and dedication. As a Buyers Agent: Cindy's approach is thoroughly professional. She took the time to understand our specific needs in detail, consistently providing listings that matched our criteria. She kept us well-informed with the latest market updates, including changes in housing policies and interest rates, and how these could impact us. Cindy was always prepared for every apartment visit, helping us schedule viewings and meticulously analyzing each propertys strengths and weaknesses. Unlike some agents who might prefer buyers to pay more to increase their commission, Cindy focused on our best interests. She conducted her research diligently, advised us on making reasonable offers, and ensured we paid a fair price. Thanks to her expertise, we found our ideal apartmentaEUR"a place we truly love living in. As a Sellers Agent: Cindy's dedication shone equally bright. Despite a challenging market with high-interest rates, her strategic insights were invaluable. She took the time to understand our neighborhoods dynamics, property values, and potential buyers, formulating an effective sales strategy. Cindy managed most of the open houses herself, despite living far away and caring for a young baby at home. Her commitment was evident as she engaged with prospective buyers to understand their needs, refining our selling approach accordingly. Her strong support team was always ready to assist, providing necessary resources whenever required. Cindys follow-up with interested parties was persistent and professional. Selling and buying simultaneously, especially in a downturned market, is no small feat. Cindy prepared us for every contingency with multiple backup plans. However, her skillful handling ensured that we successfully sold and bought our properties within the same month, facilitating a seamless transition. Cindy is the epitome of what you look for in a real estate brokeraEUR"patient, empathetic, professional, intelligent, diligent, and efficient. There is simply no one better!

    Cindy worked with us on several real estate projects. She was extremely helpful in locating potential properties based on our requirements, scheduling the visits to the properties and helping us to complete the paperwork needed to close on the properties we selected. She was responsive to communications from us during the process. Cindy was very professional and offered us great advice that helped us to complete the purchases and rental projects quickly and successfully.

    I had a great experience working with Cindy to find my forever home in NYC! She was very patient with me as I kept looking around until we found the perfect home. She was always very responsive over email and text and I knew I could always get a hold of her. I randomly came across her profile online but am so glad I did!

    Cindy is very professional and was able to recommend and show a lot of apartments that meet my requirements. She has been there for me not only with buying a property, but also a great help with advice with paperwork and application precedures. She is always available to answer questions and I had no hesitation recommending her to friends.
