A much needed change of scenery brought me to Astoria, which is how I stumbled upon Zikos. A blessing in disguise? I think so! It took less than 24 hours from walking into the office to signing a lease. Thiago was an amazing broker who explained everything very carefully, was attentive, and made the process incredibly easy. I even got to meet the landlord face-to-face at the lease signing. What I appreciate the most is that this isn't some huge management company, but rather, you really feel like it is family owned and they care about the Astoria neighborhood very much. Needless to say, Zikos is great and I feel very lucky to have worked with them!

I wish I could put more than 5 stars because Abigail and George deserve way more than 5! After…read morepatiently waiting for months and months while my parents went back and forth over whether to sell or not, we were finally able to stick to our plan and list and stay listed with Abigail and George. Within just one week, we got more than 10 offers, many above asking price!! We took the offer we liked the best and proceeded with the deal. Our biggest obstacle was cleaning out the house, so Abigail and George referred to us two great companies to help out. They also continually checked in the whole time, to see if we needed any other help whatsoever. When we lost an important paper, Abigail helped us get another copy and even printed it out for my Dad since she knew he was busy cleaning up and might not even have a printer working anymore. Abigail said she thought of my parents like her own and she meant it 100%! On the final day when they had to hand over their keys, my parents still weren't fully done cleaning out, so Abigail herself helped move things and disassemble things (I'm sure George would have too, but he was at another appt). She even stored some stuff into her own car and brought it over to my sister's to temporarily store for my parents. Where else will you find brokers as caring, thoughtful, and compassionate as Abigail and George? If you are looking to buy or sell in Queens, you must contact them. It will be one of the best decisions you ever make!

We had an excellent experience working with this team, including Ana and particularly Geraldine…read more They were always available and did a great job talking us through the process. The photos taken of our unit were lovely, and I really think helped to increase engagement and offers. They were also very proactive and gave great advice in dealing with the stressful process of getting buyer board approval. We would absolutely recommend them for handling a sale! They were possibly the one aspect of the process that did not add to our stress but instead helped it.

Carmela Massimo recently helped me sell my Woodside co-op. I appreciated her easy going, honest…read morenature. She wasn't pushy and thoroughly and honestly explained what to expect in the sales process (which for a co-op, can be lengthy). She also pointed me in the direction of an excellent real estate attorney that I used for the closing. Carmela also showed me some apartments years ago when I was buying. She listened to what I was looking for and didn't waste my time trying to sell me on places that weren't for me. I appreciated that honesty. Definitely recommend Carmela and Welcome Home if you are looking to buy or sell a home in the Sunnyside Gardens/Woodside area.

I contacted Welcome Home Real Estate recently and explained my situation; the fact that I was…read moreseeking a studio apartment in Sunnyside for my son who has a poor credit rating but that I would be the guarantor and live out of state. The person I spoke with was super professional, straight speaking but kind, and took her time with me. Her advice however was really discouraging and quite absolute - I was so depressed after getting off the phone with her- she suggested that I might look for a room for him to rent somewhere because with a budget of $2,000 and low credit on his part; that no one would really want to work with that profile or mine as an out of state guarantor. Merely 12 days later, he is now set up with a lovely studio in a nice building, one block from the train in Sunnyside for $2,100. The moral of this story is as "professional" as the professionals may be, consult more than one. Some are more open, more nuanced, more willing to find solutions and more apt to think creatively than others. Find the individual realtor and the real estate firm that best fits your outlook.

So often, in all businesses one encounters people in customer-facing jobs who really seem to hate people. Maria and John are super friendly, honest, and really seem to enjoy working with people in the community and helping them find the right home. A lot of brokers we met with made us feel like they were doing us a favor by showing us an apartment and made us worried about our chances of finding the right place. Maria made us feel good about ourselves and put us at ease. Moving is always hard, but Metroline truly made our move as stress free as possible. I would definitely recommend Maria to anyone--though I hope not to have to use her services again for many many years. :)

I cannot recommend Craig Paulson highly enough!…read more I was going through a very challenging personal situation when I started my apartment search, and Craig treated me with immense kindness, empathy, and respect from day one. He went above and beyond to show me a lovely apartment in Brooklyn--complete with a private backyard--owned by a wonderful mother-and-son landlord team. But what truly set Craig apart was his dedication: he was quick in responding to communications and stuck with me through the entire application process, guiding me through every detail until the keys were in my hand. His professionalism, patience, and genuine care turned a stressful time into a successful move. I am incredibly grateful for everything he did for me. If you need a real estate broker who is not only dedicated and sharp but truly cares about his clients as human beings, look no further than Craig Paulson!

He spent a whole day with the girls on a search for the perfect apartment and neighborhood. They truly found it In the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

Craig also made their day of apartment hunting super fun for them complete with a ride through the streets and park on City Bikes. I highly recommend Craig for any of your real estate needs.

Zach immediately picked up the call when I reached out the first time and even though he was on paternity leave, he still took the time to get a list of all the things we were looking for in an apartment and scheduled a few showings around our busy schedules. There were instances where he couldn't make it and he would even send another agent out to show us some apartments. He was honest, personable, extremely flexible and is sincerely looking out for his clients and their needs. We had a great experience working with him and will be recommending him to anyone who is looking to move to the Astoria area.
