My husband and I had been living in a rent-stabilized apartment for years, but we wanted to start a family and needed a bigger space. We contacted Daniela to help us find our first home, and our experience with her was absolutely fabulous. She knew things to look for that we had never considered, such as certain problems a particular building might have or hidden financial information we would want to know about. Daniela didn't stop there, though. Not only did she help us find and bid on a new apartment, but she also made sure our Board package was presented correctly and contained the exact information we needed to be approved. Because of how hard she worked for us, I've already recommended Daniela to a number of friends who were struggling to buy or sell, and as soon as they hired her, they started seeing results. Daniela's attention to detail and professionalism are huge assets in this market, and she's a great resource to have working for you.

My husband and I first met Daniela eight years ago when we were trying to sell our first townhouse. The property was absolutely beautiful. It had a huge garden, four trees, and a great floor plan. We had been listing it through a three-month exclusive contract with another agency, but they weren’t able to sell it. We began to talk to a number of friends and family members, and we kept hearing Daniela’s name, so we called her. She came to look at the property and immediately asked if we would let her sell it. We accepted her offer, and within two weeks, she had a committed buyer who was offering us a great price. As soon as the townhouse sold, we started looking for a pre-war co-op, but we had some specific requirements for the property. Because of our young children, we wanted the apartment to be one floor, and it had to be in a neighborhood between their schools. Daniela quickly found us our dream apartment, and she helped us every step of the way in purchasing it. Daniela has been in virtually every building in the city. She knows how every Board works, knows exactly what they want to see in the Board package, and she never fails to have her clients accepted. The extent of her experience has put her in every situation possible, so nothing takes her by surprise or catches her off guard. She’s dealt with every issue at least once, and is quick at resolving them once again. I absolutely would recommend Daniela to friends and family if they didn’t already know about her. Working with her really puts you in the best hands possible.

Working with Daniela was an incredible experience. My husband and I had been renting in the city for some time, and when we became pregnant with our first child, we decided we wanted to upsize to a larger apartment. Daniela very quickly proved to us that we’d made the right decision in choosing her as our agent. She really acknowledged our needs and desires by taking copious notes during our first consultation, and she zeroed in on exactly what we were looking for. Because she was able to weed out properties that didn’t fit our needs, we found our apartment in a very short period of time. During the closing process, she made sure all the necessary paperwork was in order and that it got filled out correctly. The whole process was a very positive one. We would recommend Daniela to others in a heartbeat. Our experience with her was great, and we’d use her again ourselves if we ever decided to move to a new residence.

We actually came to know Daniela in a round-a-bout way. We were purchasing an apartment in which Daniela was representing the seller. Our broker was totally incapable of helping us with the board package, so Daniela stepped in and assisted us with every aspect of the procedure, including assisting us with the financial information required and guiding us in the preparation of all the documentation. This she did, even though she was representing the seller. I have since discovered, through conversations with many friends and acquaintances, that many brokers are very limited in their co-op board packaging capability and are merely able to bring a prospective client to a property, but can do nothing to help close the transaction. Daniela is the exact opposite. Daniela is totally involved with every step of the process and is available days, nights and weekends. She is totally aware of all building's board requirements which means that she will not waste a client's time, or cause a client embarassment, by taking them to a building where there is a possibility there is not a "fit." She communicates in a clear, non-complicated manner and is very educated and well-spoken. In addition, she is knowledgeable about, and has assisted clients in, every neighborhood and in every price-range in Manhattan. Daniela is the consummate real estate agent -- highly intelligent, totally involved, knowledgeable about every aspect in her field, soft-spoken and non-aggressive. I have recommended Daniela to many friends (including family) and acquaintances, both of whom were buying as well as selling. Each and every person has been more than pleased with her performance in every aspect of the process. I believe she has completed every transaction required of her by all of the clients I have recommended to her.

We've recommended Daniela to numerous friends and family members, and we would gladly do so again. The entire time we worked with her, Daniela was deeply committed to fulfilling our needs, both as buyers and sellers. She understood that dealing in real estate was an extremely stressful process for us, and her calm demeanor and thorough work helped to greatly reduce that stress. Daniela was an excellent intermediary between us and the families we bought and sold with, and she always made our happiness her top priority. In addition, she was relentless at getting us the best price possible, which made dealing with her an even more enjoyable experience.
