I was nervous because my last agent overpromised and vanished once the sign went up. This time felt different. Leonid stayed involved through every showing and handled buyers who liked to stall. He understands how to sell a property in NYC without wasting time. I didnt feel rushed or ignored which was huge for me especially with co-op rules.

Leonid Sklyar did an outstanding job helping me sell my apartment. He is energetic, highly responsible, always responsive, and extremely professional. I truly appreciated how proactive, reliable, and detail-oriented he was throughout the entire process, as well as how smoothly he worked with his team. I would also like to highlight Leonids excellent teamwork with his partner and colleague, Vladimir-Zeev Levitan. They worked seamlessly as one strong team, constantly supporting each other and coordinating every step. Having two highly professional agents working in parallel made the entire process especially efficient, convenient, and well-organized. Vladimir was also extremely helpful and supportive throughout the transaction. The transaction was handled efficiently and with great care, which made the experience very comfortable and stress-free for me. I am very happy that I chose to work with Leonid and his team and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for strong, dependable real estate professionals. Olga Miltsyna

Id been dragging my feet for months about selling and I didnt know where to start or who to trust. Mr Sklyar made it feel doable. He didnt overwhelm me, he simply got to work and it really stood out how well he sells the property. Got an offer in under a week. Still kinda shocked.
