Specialties

Generalists »

For the past 20 years, I have worked throughout New York City but today I focus my business on high-end buildings in Midtown. I am especially focused on working with investors, as I am an investor myself. I consider myself a "counselor" to my clients because I advise them of where and how to invest in real estate in NYC. The price range that I primarily work with is between $1.5 to $3 million.

Investors »

I understand the specific needs that real estate investors have, not only because I have assisted dozens of investors buy and sell in NYC, but also because I have been an investor myself for many years. In addition, I own a small management company so I can manage my clients' investments.

New condos specialists »

I love new condominium projects because most have tax abatements which keeps the return on investment higher. The process of buying a new condo is different than buying any other type of home because many times, your home will not be ready to be moved into for years. Since I know the process inside and out, I am able to make my clients comfortable and confident with their purchase.

Pied-a-terre specialists »

I have extensive experience helping my customers in purchasing pied-a-terres. Many of the buildings that I have sold multiple units in are designed for pied-a-terres because of their proximity to the park, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and the Time Warner Center, as well as their amazing amenities. Because co-ops rarely allow pied-a-terres, as a condominium specialist, I am highly experienced in working with this product type.

Agent's personal statement

I continue to merit an outstanding rank as a real estate specialist in the purchase, sale and rental of condominiums through-out Manhattan. The complex world of New York real estate can be a challenge. With twenty years of real estate experience, my knowledge and confidence can alleviate the stress buyers and sellers may experience when dealing with one of their largest investments. I offer buyers, sellers and investors the utmost in full-service attention. I structure my business in a way similar to a full-service private company: I have a team of mortgage companies, CPA’s, attorneys, interior designers, and contractors with whom I work on behalf of my clients.

 

While my sales volume speaks for itself, I pride myself on my energy and tenacity, both professionally and personally. Many of my customers are international investors. They trust my judgment and many times they buy based on my recommendations. As a guide to clients’ through-out the sales process, and with a great understanding of the market, I have been successful in matching condominiums to the specific requirements of the prospective buyer.

My husband and I have been working with Marie for the past ten years. She’s helped us purchase and sell a number of homes, and she’s even advised us on how to make each property also a lucrative investment. Every time we upgraded to a larger location, Marie helped us completely renovate the space, and she gave us plenty of insight regarding what details will greatly increase the value of the apartment in the future. Her advice has been so accurate that even in this market, we’ve made a profit on every apartment we’ve purchased and subsequently sold. Marie has been instrumental in our real estate ventures. She always comes to us eager to work, with a tremendous amount of energy and up-to-date knowledge on the market. What’s most valuable for us, though, is that she’s completely honest. If she thinks we’re looking at a location that won’t achieve what we’re looking for, she’ll tell us in a completely objective manner. She never pushes us one way or another, but she has a strong intuition for what will ultimately benefit us. I’ve already recommended Marie to friends, and I would again without reservation.

My experience with Marie so far has been wonderful. We are currently in the process of selling my Hell’s Kitchen condo, and I’m very impressed with the work she’s done up to this point. Marie has already brought in a large number of potential buyers, which I think is largely due to the way she’s marketed the apartment and the asking price she helped me to choose. She’s kept me updated with information regarding buyers who have already viewed the apartment and those who are looking to set up a viewing, as well. I would recommend Marie to others with no hesitation. We’ve only just started working together, but I’m already extremely satisfied with her work and feel very assured that the entire process will progress comfortably.

I would recommend Marie to my friends without a doubt because working with Marie is a great experience. I’ve bought and sold with her in both Midtown and the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and I’ve always been satisfied with her work. On the buying side, she was always able to find a number of great properties that fit my preferences. On the selling side, she knew exactly how to market my apartment to get it sold quickly. With Marie, there’s always an opportunity to move quickly, because she comes to every property prepared to buy or sell. She doesn’t waste any time.

Marie helped me purchase my second home in Midtown West. I found her knowledge of condominiums in the area to be remarkable, which I think is largely due to her level of experience in real estate. I would recommend Marie to my friends and family without hesitation. She works extremely hard, and she was actively helpful throughout the process of purchasing my home.

Marie is excellent. I have worked with Marie for many years, to both buy and sell investment properties throughout Manhattan. Most recently, I worked with her to purchase a condo in Midtown. Marie is one of the most professional people I’ve ever dealt with and she is extremely respectful of my properties. I can't speak more highly of her.
