In November 2020 my husband and I made one of the biggest financial decisions after 12 years of marriage. After he, our 2 daughters and I had been enduring COVID 19 in Brooklyn, NY in a 2 bedroom apartment we developed the courage to embark on a home buying journey. Once we were pre-approved we started working with the most patient, hard-working, thorough, creative and dedicated Real-estate Agent, Caliz Diaz. She was instantly on board to assist us in making insurmountable decisions involved in the homebuying process with a check-list for first-time homebuyers which included consideration to finances, location, size, style, commute, etc. Thereafter, we made the decision to look for homes in New Jersey as we couldn't afford a single family home in NYC with our budget. Even though she was yet not licensed in NJ she continued to support us through the process and put us in contact with the excellent NJ Licensed Real Estate Agent, Oksana Tabachouk who had 20+ years of experience to help us find our first home. Once we found the house we considered making an offer for, Caliz proceeded to help us envision the potential for making it our personalized home. She not only helped us see the possibilities but she used her creativity and master skills to design every single square foot in the house. She was also instrumental in finding affordable, practical and beautiful cabinetry and design ideas. Moreover, she worked closely with the contractors to ensure they make our collaborative ideas come to life with attention to the most minute details. Thanks to Caliz Diaz, our first time home buying experience was a success. Since our purchase, Caliz Diaz obtained her NJ Real Estate License which qualifies her to help any buyer purchase property in NY and NJ. We strongly and wholeheartedly recommend Caliz Diaz to anyone considering buying property as she will not only enthusiastically hold your hand through this daunting process but will go above and beyond to make your vision become a reality.

After living in Brooklyn, in a house for the last 20 years, my family finally decided to move to the city. Naturally the Real Estate game has changed since the last time we bought our property and we weren't aware of how big the change was. So the apartment hunting began and we started from just looking into any apartment listings in the price range and Neighborhoods we desired. I met Bianca probably in one of the first apartments I saw, she was very professional, knowledgeable, respectful and proud of what she was doing. We started working together on the mission impossible, which is finding something that all members of my family agreed. Bianca was extremely patient with us, she spent almost every weekend showing us various listings and also giving us valuable advice and getting us ready with all the documents we needed for when we finally find our dream place. After almost a year of searching, we finally found our new home. Bianca made the process flawless and very fast, she was helping us all the way with any issues that may have arisen, very attentive to big and small details. We had the most pleasant experience working with Bianca and I would definitely recommend her for any of my friends or family.

Caliz is amazing at what she does! I have been in New York for 24 years, have lived in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and have had experiences with countless realtors, and I will say that working with Caliz has been one of the most seamless, caring, and kind experiences working with an agent I have had to find me a home! I'm not a big mover, so finding the right space to settle for the long term was very important to me, and she did just that. Being that she grew up in the neighborhood in which I moved, which I Love by the way, she knows people, and neighborhoods, and is a good read of people to address their needs and what they're looking for. Caliz knows New York! I've been in my space for nearly four years now and could not be happier. To this day, she checks in on me, and it's the first time in my 24 years in New York that I feel like I am part of a community and a real neighborhood where I actually know my neighbors, and community members who care about each other. I am in a great apartment, and I could not have had this experience without Caliz! If you have the chance to work with her, you will be in good hands! Thanks Caliz, for everything!

When I first met James, his passion about his job is what appealed to my husband and I. But after getting to know him, and seeing how much time he put into taking the proper photos of my home, and advertising it like no other, I wasn’t surprised when it finally sold. My home wasn’t an easy sell. It was a beautiful, yet unique home, that wasn’t in the price bracket that was an easy sale, especially with the location of the house. Jim promised us he would do what others couldn’t. And he did. He delivered exactly as promised. Not only was he persistent, and eager to try new things to get things moving, but he also was a warm, inviting, presence, who loved my children and dogs. Always helped when staging the home for a visit, and always returned with feedback, whether negative, or positive. He is the reason why my home got showcased and sold, even though it’s something we tried doing with others before with no success. He takes his own pictures and edits them perfectly. Really puts in the extra effort. That in itself is admirable. So happy we made the decision to get the “Barry Difference”! Thanks again James!

Roberta is amazing! She helped our dreams of ownership come true and was with us every step of the way. We had been casually looking to buy a Manhattan apartment for over a year. We met many realtors along the way. Roberta stood out to us for her knowledge of the market, her knowledge of the unit she was showing at the time, and her sincerity. We kept her card and sought her help a year later when we were ready. And we are so glad to have her help! Among other things, she was instrumental in helping us through our board application and interview. When we had an issue with the bank, she was there with great advice. And we hashed through ideas together for some minor renovations after the purchase. Her ideas turned out excellent. I can't say enough about Roberta and we highly recommend her!

Sara is an incredibly competent and professional expert. Thanks to her, I managed to purchase a property remotely without having to come to NY. Living in Hong Kong, I needed comprehensive guidance throughout the process of acquiring an investment apartment in New York. Sara perfectly understood my requirements. She suggested highly profitable solutions and assisted me in the mortgage application procedures. She supported me in finding a suitable bank and helped me locate all the necessary professionals, from lawyers to accountants and interior designers. Sara continues to successfully manage my investment in New York and even assisted me in purchasing my home in Tuscany, Italy.

Recently, my roommate and I worked with Quincy in order to sign the lease on our very first apartment in New York City. Going into the process I was definitely wary, as I assumed all NYC real estate agents were trying to scam me. However, my experience with Quincy could not have better. He was responsive to all of my phone calls/texts, walked me through the process for the first time, and was professional and friendly. Quincy understood that my roommate and I were in a time crunch, so we were able to go from viewing our apartment for the first time to getting the keys in only six days. Overall, I had a really positive experience working with Quincy.

Jeanne was such a fun broker to work with! I’ve honestly never tried negotiating the terms of a lease, and this is the first time I got to experience doing so. She was a great communicator and educated me throughout the entire process (things have really changed since covid) and actually made finding an apartment in Manhattan fun. I was looking to lock down a long-term lease but other agents told me it was not possible. Jeanne showed me otherwise and with a little bit of detective work, she was able to find me a great deal for two years in a rent stabilized building. I highly recommend working with her. Thanks again, Jeanne.

Jeanne was amazing through my research process in looking for a new apartment. Although I eventually went directly to building given the fast pace of the market, all the knowledge Jeanne gave me on the area/buildings I was looking at definitely helped. She was willing to give me a tour of different buildings well advance of my move in date just so I was prepared to determine which ones I did / didn’t like when it was my time to move. She also kept me well informed of openings that fit my criteria. Definitely would recommend Jeanne in your apartment search - she knows her stuff and cares about finding you the right place!

I highly recommend working with Bianca D’Alessio for any and all of your real estate transactions. Bianca initially represented me when I was a first time home buyer and then became my “go-to” broker for all of my future real estate needs. Bianca’s personality makes the buying and selling process fun! Her good humor and positivity coupled with her market knowledge, fierce negotiation skills, persistent follow up and keen attention to detail keeps Bianca fighting for her clients and she will not stop until the job is done. Bianca is a true professional and there is no other broker that I would recommend over her.

James Barry literally rescued our family from the stress we were facing while searching for a single family home rental. We had been looking for so long and noticed nobody was really committed to helping us. Agents seem so mechanical. A friend referred us to James and we immediately felt like we had a true professional who would help. He patiently showed us around, stayed constantly in touch and kept us updated from the first tour of properties until he handed us keys. Even followed up weeks after moving in to make sure everything is fine. We highly recommend James Barry for your real estate need any day.

I want to thank James Barr for helping my wife and I find an apartment. We were pleased with how he was able to tailor our needs and help us find the best place that was suitable for my family and I especially during these times when it is very hard trying to find decent apartments due to Covid. He sent us photos of all the apartments before we even went to see them and the photos were accurate and up to date unlike some other places.. Barry is very courteous and respectful but most importantly honest which is sometimes very hard to find in a real estate agent. I can't say enough good things about him.

Jason was a pleasure to work with. He was incredibly communicative and immediately available throughout the entire process, and went above and beyond in both suggesting buildings that he recommended and had worked with before and making the search as convenient as possible. I was not able to physically visit the apartments I was considering as I was not in NYC at the time, but he visited them for me and made it feel like I was viewing them myself. I will most definitely be recommending Jason to anyone I know looking to rent or buy in Manhattan and have absolutely no complaints to report.

Working with Jason was a great experience from start to finish. Jason was able to answer all of my questions about the neighborhood, nearby comps and any questions I had about the developer and property I was interested in. I felt like he took a serious and sincere interest in me as a buyer (over just trying to make a quick sell) by offering me real advice on the process and answering any and all questions I had on the property. This was especially valuable to me as a first time buyer. I would highly recommend using Jason and will definitely be using him for any future transactions.

I dedicated myself to purchasing a property in New York just before the onset of Covid-19. Given that the purchase was during the construction phase, it posed a complex situation, but Sara managed it with great skill. Sara expertly navigated a stressful scenario, offering practical solutions. Despite the challenging historical period and Manhattan's rental crisis, Sara's implemented marketing strategies enabled the immediate rental of my apartment post-closing. Her professionalism and top-tier service convinced me to make a second purchase within a few months.

Two brokers had failed me before I had met Jeanne. Long story short, my old brokers kept giving me bad news that just didn’t make much sense. Oddly enough I knew I could trust Jeanne after just meeting her for 5 min and I know working with Jeanne was the reason why I was able to finally land the home of my dreams amidst multiple offers on the table. Nothing had changed except my broker. I remember feeling so relieved and happy that she got me there. I have been telling all my friends and family about her and cannot recommend her enough.

Jeanne was referred to me by a colleague who had a great experience. I quickly found out why. As someone who is already always keeping up with real estate, I loved all the nuance and industry connections she brought to the table. Jeanne is a true professional with insight that cannot be found online. I trusted her as my advocate just by watching how tough she was in the negotiation room. She has a strong way in driving process and I am just so thankful I have been connected to her. She will absolutely be selling my home in the future.

Working with Jason over over 7 years on numerous transactions has been a pleasure. He’s a consummate professional in all aspects. He’s an even better person and our working relationship is now a personal friendship that I can count on. He goes the extra mile to make things right. With uncontrollable obstacles in our last transaction, he remained steadfast and worked tirelessly to get the job done. If looking for a genuine, good natured person to entrust your real estate needs, Jason is top notch. Thanks again

Francesca was my real estate agent for the sale of my prior place and purchase of my new place. Both sales were completed in only an approximately 2 month time period of working with her! I was very happy with the pricing on both ends, and the overall experience. Francesca is a pleasure to work with, very detail oriented, respected my pricing preferences, did many extras that helped the move beyond just the purchase and selling of the homes, and both sales went off without a hitch, highly recommend her!

Sara has been managing my family's real estate investments in New York for years. In 2015, my parents made their first purchase in Manhattan, and in 2018, I invested in Brooklyn. Thanks to Sara's guidance, I made a purchase in a market I wasn't initially convinced about, but it turned out to be an excellent investment. Without her deep market knowledge and the immense trust we have in her, I would never have invested in Brooklyn. We are extremely satisfied with both investments.

Caliz was one of the best real estate professionals and landlords that I've ever worked with. She's kind, responsible, and quick to respond to any questions or problems we have. She's organized and helped make the apartment search and lease signing process quick and easy. I lived with Caliz as my landlord for two years and she was always incredibly helpful and responsive. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for someone trustworthy in NYC! Thanks Caliz and hope you're well!

I had the pleasure of working with Sara in the search for an apartment in the Williamsburg waterfront area with very specific features. Despite the limited availability, Sara rose to the challenge, providing a swift, comprehensive, and efficient service. I particularly appreciated the high-level consultancy and the array of off-market opportunities. Sara managed to make the purchasing process enjoyable during a highly stressful and competitive market period.

Worked together with Quincy who helped me find my dream apartment. He is polite and professional. Furthermore, he was super responsive to my questions (even on the weekend) and provided me with all the info I needed in a fair and transparent manner. I am thankful to Quincy and can fully recommend him! Julia Sowislo. PS: At any point Quincy made sure that COVID regulations were met during apartment visits and I felt safe in that regard too.

Jeanne is absolutely incredible to work with! She broke down all the information so clearly that I ended up learning a ton of new info (even though I’ve been in NYC for many years!). She knows so much about the conditions of the market and how to effectively negotiate that I realized exactly how advantageous having an excellent broker really was. Thanks again Jeanne for finding me my perfect home and becoming my life time broker!

From our first meeting, Sara Traverso's professionalism was evident. She provided significant assistance by directing me towards the type of investment that best suited my needs. She introduced me to various professionals and aided in arranging crucial renovation interventions. Since 2016, she has entirely managed my investment, keeping me updated on new opportunities that would otherwise be challenging to find in the market.

I entered the real estate industry fueled by a profound passion for new development. Upon obtaining my real estate license, I was resolute in my desire to align myself with the distinguished team founded by Bianca D’Alessio and Christian Haag at Nest Seekers. This dynamic team has not only imparted a daily wealth of knowledge essential for success in all market landscapes but has also seamlessly become my professional family.

Roberta was our agent for both the sale of our old apartment and the purchase of our current apartment. She is excellent, very professional, and super nice. She expertly advised us through these two complex transactions. She made sure to always keep us informed on every development as it happened and very clearly explained to us all our options. We will definitely reach out to her when we decide to look for a new apartment.

Roberta is a star due to her knowledge and expertise. She was our broker when we bought our apartment and was our first and only call when we decided to sell. We could not have asked for a better experience for both transactions and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. She’s also a lot of fun to work with and truly cares about her clients.

James was crucial in making our sale/purchase as stress free as possible. James was constantly available and dedicated to help with any problems along my wife and myself’s journey looking for our new home. He was a breath of fresh air and we have nothing but positive feedback. We would recommend him for any of your real estate needs. Thank you again James.

Throughout this process, Jason could not be more thoughtful, generous, and helpful. He answered all of my many questions with clarity and care, and created an atmosphere where I felt comfortable to vocalize my concerns without feeling any pressure or pushback. I'm so grateful for Jason's support and love the apartment he helped me land.

Roberta is wonderful to work with. Absolutely tenacious, persistent, and knows the New York real estate market cold. Exactly who I would want to work with on any transaction. Understands client needs and priorities, and does not rest until the transaction is closed. Highly recommended.

I can't recommend Jeanne Park enough. She was incredibly responsive and efficient at setting up visits to the kinds of properties I wanted to see, wasted none of my time with inappropriate places, and was very helpful with pros and cons of each place. We landed a place that I love.

I have known Roberta Feldman for a number of years. She loves New York City and the real estate business. I appreciate her enthusiasm, sincerity and knowledge. I highly recommend Roberta to help you buy or sell your apartment.

Jason was great to work with, very responsive and flexible given some issues we had with finding someone to sublet my co-op. He's knowledgeable about the NYC area and changing dynamics for that market. I highly recommend him!

Jason made renting an apartment so easy. He was advocating for us and helping to answer any questions we had along the way. Would recommend him to a friend and will definitely be reaching out in the future for our next move!

He was on point with everything, always getting answers for me and my family. He walked us through the whole process from beginning to the end. It felt like working with a friend or family member than a real estate agent.

Jason did a fantastic job helping me rent out my condo in Astoria. He is very user friendly and responsive and is always on top of things. I would highly recommend working with Jason and I plan to do so in the future.

I’ve worked with a lot of NYC brokers before. Jeanne Park is absolutely one of the best and very professional. She went above and beyond to find solutions. I cannot recommend her enough.

James is very good at what he does. He is Very personable and detailed in his work. He took great interest in us as his clients and made selling our house a great experience.

Jason was absolutely amazing. He helped us find our dream home in days and we closed to deal before it was even put on the market. I highly recommend him!

Great broker. Very professional, responsive, and experienced. I would trust Jason again as my broker or agent in the future. A pleasure to work with.

Jeanne, thank you so much. This was by far the best real estate experience we’ve had in the city.

She is seriously one of the best in the city and a delight to think out loud with.
