    Marc was excellent. He quickly became a trusted adviser who understood exactly what we were looking for and guided us every step of the way both buying and selling. He had a deep understanding of both the areas we were searching in, as well as the market that we were looking to buy and sell in, and gave us invaluable advice. When we found our dream house, he gave us a realistic assessment of the market and helped us negotiate a winning bid. And his advice and help when selling was just as valuable, if not more. From helping us get the property ready for sale, to staging and pricing, Marc set up a winning sales strategy that worked extremely well. All while maintaining a calm, focused, supportive attitude that made a very stressful process as stress-free as possible. I not only recommend him highly, I have already recommended him to friends and would use him again for any other real estate needs.

    I had the pleasure of working with Marc last year when I moved out of New York City. His expertise and patience made the experience less stressful. I felt like I had a knowledgeable person by my side to help answer questions about units, neighborhoods, and timelines. I highly recommend him.

    We are extremely grateful to Marc for his invaluable assistance in helping us purchase our first home. Introduced through a mutual friend, we were immediately impressed with his professionalism and quality of work. Marcs prompt and detailed responses to all our queries, without ever making us feel rushed, were both refreshing and reassuring. His market knowledge and negotiation skills were crucial in securing our home. We highly recommend Marc to any new buyers with complete confidenceaEUR"if house hunting were an Olympic sport, Marc would take the gold!

    I was lucky enough to meet Marc when I reinitiated my search for a Brooklyn property. A few years prior, I was looking for a home and my agent at the time didn't seem to listen to what my goals were. What was even more frustrating, I never felt like they were doing anything beyond showing me properties that I could find myself. Fortunately, Marc was a different story. One of the first things I noticed when looking at a property was Marc's focus. In addition to the general first walkthrough of a property, Marc knew how important the small details in unexpected places could have a big impact on the value of a property, for better or for worse. Marc isn't just about the finer details either, and knew where to look to satisfy my broader property goals, while also keeping value and appreciation in mind. Finally, Marc was crucial in the closing process, knowing what to push for and what to prioritize. As chaotic as things can be during this time, he was great about keeping me prepared and bringing things to my attention that I normally would have glossed over. As a first time buyer, not only did I feel like Marc was properly educating me on these aspects, but it was apparent that he had my best interests at heart and I couldn't recommend him enough.
