Crystal is an excellent agent. She catered to my every need, made me feel special, like I was her only client. We were looking for a very specific property to accommodate a large production crew in a somewhat remote location in NY. Not only did she deliver, be she exceeded our best expectations of what she could accomplish. Crystal is pure excellence! I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a property. read more

I have served as the property manager for a prominent Clinton Hill real estate investor for 6 years, during which we have worked with many real estate agents, brokers, and offices. Ms. Weston was referred to me when we were having difficulty renting an apartment that is typically hard to rent and that our regular broker had been unable to rent. Ms. Weston was able to find us a tenant who was not only qualified, but who also fell over heels for our unique rental. As an experienced property manager who has worked with real estate agents with a wide range of skills, Ms. Weston is, by far, one of the most talented I have encountered. She is not only versed in the numbers of the business, such as what rents are going for, how broker's fees work in NYC, and the impact of the new construction on "old Brooklyn," but she is also able to quickly feel out renters by determining their needs and then making appropriate recommendations. Ms. Weston is professional, thorough, timely, and exhibits great follow-through. If you need a real estate agent who can quickly find your next tenants and who has the skills to assess them and make sure they are qualified before presenting them to you, I highly recommend her. She gets the job done. read more

My wife and I were looking for a diamond in the rough apartment, a jewel. We went through a lot of flakey agents who were either too green or not knowledgable enough to help us navigate this competitive market. Crystal was compassionate, thorough and we finally found our beloved home and we love it. Thank You for everything Crystal, you're the best!!! read more

Crystal is a blessing. She made me feel like I had a champion behind me. I felt she wanted the best for us. She was always a text or email away. I am so grateful b/c we got the apartment we wanted. She accommodated us by changing the time of the open house to fit our schedule. She made sure our file looked presentable to the owner and asked all the right questions to insure the owner had a full picture based on the paperwork. Crystal provides quality work! read more

Crystal is a problem-solver!!! If you're buying or selling real estate in New York City, you should seek out an agent who is smart, honest and experienced. That's Crystal Weston in a nutshell. The road to selling my property was fraught with multiple issues that needed to be addressed over the span of thirteen months from beginning to close. First, some background: I owned a condo in Brooklyn for over 10 years. I took full ownership of the property as the result of a divorce. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, but I currently live in a state outside of New York. Although I didn't want to, it became very clear to me in late 2016 that I had no choice but to sell my unit. In October, 2016. I found Crystal through Yelp. She was one of a few agents I reached out to with this request... "I'm interested in working with a seasoned, honest agent with experience in the local market and a track record of getting results." Having engaged potential agents digitally, I knew I would have to speak with each one to get a feel for their personalities and, to narrow down my list. She was the last of about five agents that I spoke with and mentally, I had already made my decision before speaking with her. After our first conversation I realized I had to change course and that she was the agent I was going to work with. It was a gut feeling, but she made me feel comfortable. This deal brought a little bit of everything to the table, including unresolved matters like issues of title, the C of O, tenant occupancy, and a potential foreclosure looming. To Crystal's credit, she signed on recognizing that there was a real possibility that this deal could die on the vine at any time for a whole host of reasons. Never more than a phone call, email or text away, Crystal kept the process on course, developing and maintaining multiple relationships, in an effort to secure and complete whatever task was necessary to move the deal forward. She was prompt, professional and thorough in keeping me abreast of progress and soliciting my input, as required. Being that I was out of state the entire time, this point cannot be emphasized enough. Crystal cooperated with the Condo Association (who BTW, were not big fans of mine) and the property management company and she supervised the contracting crew that prepared the unit for market, she literally partnered with the tenant-relations attorney (and her process server) I retained in an effort to address my recalcitrant tenant. When the process server was unable to get access to my very secure building, it was she who went above and beyond the call of duty by posting and photographing the notice of service - twice! Once the tenant vacated and the unit was empty, new issues with key copies, accessibility, and maintenance crew supervision cropped up. Again Crystal answered the bell, hunting down locksmiths and collaborating with the maintenance crew to ensure the unit was customer-ready and that everyone who needed keys had them; tirelessly supervising vendors and housekeepers to ensure the unit looked good and the mechanicals functioned properly in time for the first open house. Crystal was able to conduct a sale price analysis and comprise a price-per-square foot that reflected my unit's very unique and desirable features and allowed for strategic pricing that drew in buyers. She even remained open to reviewing her suggested price until we settled on a number we both thought made sense. Thanks to her market knowledge and diligent analysis, we received our first offer two days after the first open house and sold the unit for more than my asking price! After more than a year of trials and tribulations, we closed the deal in November of 2017, a full thirteen months after we began the journey. As much as I appreciate all of the above-mentioned tangible items that she handled during the time we worked together, it's the intangibles that bring me here, back to Yelp to sing her praises. Crystal was more than a real estate agent in the time we worked together; she was a consultant, a confidante, an analyst, a collaborator and most importantly a trusted friend. She is tenacious. She never left my side, even when my own schedule sometimes made it hard for her to keep up with me. If you want an agent who does not shy away from challenging scenarios, fraught with landmines - as was the case with me - who inspires cooperation from everyone involved in the deal - contractors, lawyers and the broker who brings you your buyer, then do not hesitate to hire her. She will get the job done and make the experience a pleasant one. Under stressful circumstances, she makes allies, not enemies. She's smart, competent, determined, diplomatic and likable. What more can you ask for? I would work with her again in a heartbeat! read more

Crystal is AWESOME. She's so available, understanding and patient. Anytime I needed a question answered, she was readily available by email or phone and was willing to work with me despite my lack of knowledge (and paperwork haha). She helped me every step of the way as I was new to apartment hunting in NYC. It's a jungle out there. I would recommend Crystal to anyone. She knows what she's talking about in terms of realty! She'll have your best interest in mind. read more

Crystal was always quick to respond to issues, fixing the problem or offering solutions. She is a person of high integrity, which is always important to me, if she makes a commitment she follows through. She also cares about the property and the tenants, it was a pleasure to rent from Crystal and I'd do it again in a second. read more

Crystal has a great personality and excellent communication skills she's always a step ahead of you before you even ask her any questions. Her main focus is to satisfy you and your family by giving you, not just an appartment but a comfortable home.. Keep up the good work Crystal. read more

What motivated me to contact Crystal Weston was my brief encounter with her during a rental I looked at last winter. Although we never applied for that rental, she stood out among the sea of agents we met while looking at apartments because she was honest, direct, informed, and eager to help and guide. By the time I contacted her for my current search, I had been living in a place for just 2 months, but the living conditions were unbearable and I wanted to break my lease due to .roaches galore/ mice in the walls .trash disposal REALLY unkept .place was billed "renovated" however repairs still needed fixing - leaks and broken windows .building was barely swept, let alone mopped and I don't think the apt was insulated because I could hear conversations from neighbors in all directions Agents who I paid to get the place for me said some of these things wouldn't be an issue, but when I brought it to their attention they made excuses and blamed me for my decision to take it. Consequently, I had a sour taste in my mouth about trusting another agent, but I wanted to give Crystal a try because of how much she impressed me when we met and I wanted out of my current apartment. I was raised in NYC and I don't expect perfection, but there is a certain standard of living, which I'm used to and a decent landlord, well maintained building, pest free, clean environment isn't asking for much because I've had it. Ideally, I wanted to be settled for a few years so I didn't have to keep moving every year because of underhanded landlords and improper living conditions. This means I wanted to take my time and look more carefully than ever. I refused to make another bad, hasty decision. Crystal supported my need to do this. She did not rush me and was not pushy, but patient. She listened and heard our needs, while providing insight and making recommendations, from her experience. Basically, she simply let us take our time and was an ear for our fears and concerns. She also spent hours with us going from place to place, emailing us apartments, and even while travelling she stayed connected to our case and had her colleague attend the lease signing with us, so we were supported throughout the process. We were hoping to pay 12% for the broker's fee, but she was able to get us 13%. Crystal even insisted that the other agent send her pictures to prove that the matters I was concerned about had been addressed before we signed the lease and she wasn't even in town! That's dedication! Crystal's help was invaluable. If I could give her a hundred stars, I would. read more

Crystal is like our guardian angel. My girlfriend and I moved out to NY from Utah, and without Crystal we would have been in some serious trouble. We started our search on the internet before taking a trip out east, and Crystal started putting us at ease the moment we first interacted. When we decided to venture to New York to check out places, Crystal immediately began hunting for spots all around Brooklyn, basing the search around things we had no clue would be a necessity (transportation, etc.). Our perfect place came to us our last day of a very quick three-day trip in which we were able to see seven properties thanks to her magician-like abilities! After a place was found, Crystal was still just as present and helpful as the first day we met with her to get everything finished up. She saved our move to New York, made it as easy on us as possible. She brings a level of personableness and friendliness that made moving to the Big Apple even more exciting. Thank you for helping us find a home. read more
