Testimonials Munish & Rachel �~...�~...�~...�~...�~..."From the very beginning of our experience with Saul my husband and I were struck by how comfortable he made us feel and his overall attentiveness. In looking for our "forever home" (and first non-apartment home), we had a lot of questions, criteria, excitement, and anxiety all happening at once. Saul put us at ease and walked us through every stage of the process. He listened carefully to our preferences and must-haves and answered all of our questions. He came with us to countless open houses and viewings, perceptively giving us time to process, calibrate, and discuss as a couple and then all together. It's also worth mentioning that we worked with him on our home search in Brooklyn from December 2020 to July 2021, one of the lowest inventory times in recent history in this area and a period of time in which COVID-19 made seeing places particularly difficult. Despite this, Saul managed to find and show us every available home on the market that met our criteria. Within what sometimes seemed like seconds of a place coming on the market, he made us aware. Ultimately, he helped us find the townhouse of our dreams in an ideal location. On top of helping us navigate every up and down of the second half of the process leading to closing, Saul was connecting us with painters, cleaners, and more. Patient, perceptive, respectful, easy to talk to, and proactively helpful---Saul was a joy to work with and we can't recommend him enough" Gordon J. �~...�~...�~...�~...�~..." Saul and I have worked together in the music business for over 15 years and in that time he�EUR(TM)s not only been a colleague but a friend. I was already familiar with his salesmanship skills and his forte at building relationships, so he was the perfect choice as my agent when we our West Village apartment." Tim & Holly �~...�~...�~...�~...�~..." Saul was the partner we always hoped a broker could be. Expertly and calmly guiding us through a challenging pandemic sale, he got us what we wanted, doing so with grace and humility. No effort was too small or phone call too dumb. We�EUR(TM)re happy to now count Saul among our friends."Cem & Jenni K. �~...�~...�~...�~...�~..." What can I say? When I contacted Mike & Marta, I had 2 weeks to put my 2 bedroom on the market. The team quickly came up with a strategy that priced the apartment 10% above what I originally had in mind. They rolled up their sleeves and got to work staging our apartment and brought it back to its former glorious self (before the 2 kids came along...) David Morrissy �~...�~...�~...�~...�~..." The Mike & Marta team has repeatedly come through for us with win after win. We are out of state now and they handled everything seamlessly and successfully in the rental of one apartment and sale of another. For the sale, their marketing strategy resulted in an accepted offer within a few days of the first that was 15% over ask, and culminated with the fastest, smoothest closing I have ever been a part of. They are passionate, engaged and thoughtful - I highly recommend them. " See Other Reviews
