"Working with Skye to purchase our first home was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Her expertise and patience made navigating the complexities of buying a home much less intimidating. Skye was always available to answer our calls or concerns and took the time to thoroughly explain every new concept or topic we encountered. Her ability to break down foreign concepts and guide us through the process with care and clarity was invaluable. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better agent, and we’re so grateful for her dedication and support. If you’re looking for someone who is both approachable and exceptionally skilled, I cannot recommend Skye enough!"

"Chris Palmer was amazing to work with from start to finish! As a first-time home buyer, Chris helped me find listings that were within my budget and was able to show all of the listings to me and my family quickly. He was very responsive and knowledgeable throughout the whole process and walked me through each step of purchasing an apartment in a co-op in NYC. He listened to my apartment wish list and showed me apartments in the areas of the city I was most interested with the amenities I preferred. Chris was very personable and I really appreciated he was able to show apartments to myself and to my family at different times due to my busy schedule. He definitely made the experience of buying my first home smooth and easy. I'd highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to buy a new place."

Bianca Colasuonno was a consummate professional throughout the entire process of selling my 2-family house in Astoria. I interviewed several brokers and what Bianca and her team had to offer really stood out. Bianca’s advice about how to prepare/show the house, her talent with marketing the property, and expert negotiation skills resulted in a very favorable and competitive selling price. She is an upbeat, positive person and responds to inquiries promptly and thoroughly. I am grateful for Bianca’s aid and highly recommend her services."

He was extremely accommodating–helping us see multiple homes across Queens and Brooklyn, answering a million of our questions about the home buying process, coordinating with the entire real estate team including our lawyer and the sellers’ team, etc. The process was as smooth as it could be thanks to Chris. Highly recommend!"

I highly recommend Bianca and her excellent team!"

"Bianca and her team were AMAZING to work with! From the moment I spoke to her on the phone about inquiring putting my aunts house up for sale and to the day the house closed it was so professional! Bianca was knowledgeable about different services that made the process of selling the house and getting it cleaned out was great. She directed us to businesses she has worked with in the past and every single person she recommended were great, no complaints.

Bianca is extremely kind and sweet and honestly I can say I gained a friend throughout this whole process!"

"Bianca, Albi, Chris and Christina along with their entire team are amazing to work with. On the Attorney side of things, I absolutely love working with these absolute professionals. They are always on top of their game. They are involved in every aspect of their deals which is important from the Attorney perspective. Professional, energetic, ambitious, meticulous (I cannot find enough complimentary words to throw at this team). They work seamlessly as a team and are just as efficient as individuals. If you need to buy or sell a property, this is the team to go with."
