My husband and I worked with Ben and Chris to sell our Cobble Hill apartment quickly (for some insane reason, we decided to move when I was nine months pregnant). I can’t say enough complimentary things about their work — they were so patient with us during an intense time, and made an overwhelming event (leaving a co-op and a neighborhood we’d lived in for 12 years) absolutely stress-free. I didn’t think it was even possible to do what they did — we sold our place for more than we’d expected (the highest sale ever in our building!) in an off-market deal in less than a week (we accepted an offer the day before I went into labor). Even more than the sale price and speed, we’re just so grateful for how kind, attentive, professional, and responsive Ben and Chris were every step of the way — it was an anxious and tender time for our family, but they truly made us feel safe and cared for.

They answered all our questions immediately, helped us make preparations when we needed to, and advocated relentlessly on our behalf. Their knowledge of a complex and shifting real estate market is unmatched — they knew just what to do and when. I still look back at the whole transaction with genuine wonder. I can’t recommend or thank them enough!

For better or worse, my wife and I have bought and sold too many homes in the last 10 years for various reasons, leading us to work with 7 different agents. In our experience, Ben and Chris were far and away the best agents we worked with. They helped us sell our Brooklyn townhouse after only a short time living in it. From the beginning of the process to the closing, they listened to us every step of the way, they gave us honest and well informed advice, and they handled the marketing and sale process expertly. They oversaw the staging of the property and photographed it to show the property at its best. They marketed it to attract maximum interest at a time when the market had slowed after years of being overheated. They handled the showings deftly. In the end, we had multiple solid offers thanks to Chris and Ben's efforts, after only two weeks on the market, and we thoroughly trusted …

They marketed it to attract maximum interest at a time when the market had slowed after years of being overheated. They handled the showings deftly. In the end, we had multiple solid offers thanks to Chris and Ben's efforts, after only two weeks on the market, and we thoroughly trusted them in the negotiation of the sale and the remaining steps to a smooth closing. (In comparison, three very similar townhouses within blocks of ours that went on the market around the same time are still on the market, three months later.) Mostly, though, we were impressed with how attentive and responsive Chris and Ben were to our needs and our situation. They had a perfect feel for what we needed to accomplish in a short time, and they were able to do so, even in a market that was tougher than it had been for many years. We will probably be in the market to buy another home soon, and despite all the uncertainties that come with that, we know one thing is certain: we'll be trusting Chris and Ben again for that. We can't recommend them enough.
