As first time buyers, we had no idea what we were doing, and Mary explained everything clearly and patiently every step of the way - including through the COVID-19 crisis. Even after we closed she continued to stay in contact just to make sure the seller had taken care of everything we had asked them to do. We would happily work with her again and recommend her to anyone!

Mary was very professional and listened to what we really wanted, understood what was really important to us - and stayed on top of all the steps of the buying process and guide us as first time buyers. She helped in so many ways: from finding us a lawyer within a few minutes when we had an accepted offer - to designing many potential configuration and renovation plans. Mary was always trying to answer our questions, giving us advice and 'troubleshooting' any issues that came up during the search for our new home. When documents needed to received, Mary rushed them over herself; her commitment is unlike so many other brokers in NYC. Everyone who works with Mary will never forget her. She loves what she does and it shows. M&K

I literally signed up to Yelp just so I can share my experience with Dyphor…read more Every bad review you have read about them is true. My family and I didn't read the reviews prior to purchasing since we were just walking by and found them. The owner, Francesca, will gaslight you until you turn into an Exxon gas station. One of the rudest business owners I have ever dealt with. On Jan 1st - I ordered 4 dining chairs and 4 bar stools which equated to thousands of dollars that we paid upfront. The 4 dining chairs were in the showroom so we took that home right away. The 4 bar stools were going to be ordered and delivered from Indonesia and she said you will get them in late March or early April. I got my barstools the last week of July, four months later than promised. I am actually not upset that the stools were late. I was upset with the following: 1) The first time I called to get an update was in April. When I called, I was told they were shipping in 2 weeks. This was from an associate in the store 2) When I called in May, I was told they were delayed. This time Francesca got on the phone and went on a rant. - "There is Ramadan, so they are delayed in Indonesia. How can you not understand this?" - Meanwhile, I literally only asked why was the delivery was delayed. - Never mind that Ramadan was in March and that I had ordered these on January 1st and it was now May. - I had no idea why she was mad at me? I wasn't even upset on the phone. I was just asking where these multi-thousand dollar bar stools were - She then went on a rant and said "You have no respect for small businesses. We're a small business trying to survive" - For the life of me, I couldn't understand why she was ranting this to me. All I had asked was where are my bar stools. 3) I called in June and asked if there was an update - This time, Ahmed, her husband talked with me and said, we're really sorry that the shipment from Indonesia is delayed, it will come in 6 weeks. - And you know what, I said thank you for being honest, this is all I wanted to know. - Ahmed is actually a nice guy who is very fair to deal with. He was honest, he did not gaslight me and go on a rant as to why its absurd of me to ask where my barstools are after being several months late I am making this review so people understand what they are getting themselves into when dealing with Dyphor. They have cool stuff but Francesca's demeanor is not worth it. They will not follow up with you, they will gaslight you and you will wait way longer for your stuff than they say. What softened the blow of not having the barstools is back in Jan, they gave us 2 loaner stools to use, so I do appreciate that. It's ok if it takes a long time for things to get made, just be honest and don't treat people badly. They changed locations in Brooklyn so the other Yelp page is closed for them but you can find it in the link below. More reviews that are similar to mine - https://www.yelp.com/biz/dyphor-brooklyn

I've known Buddy since his Cranberry Hole Road days (early '90s, I stumbled in there by accident,…read moreand...). He has guided me through two apartment restylings (not renovations) 30 years apart in two NYC boroughs. As others have said, he is a different kind of designer--and so full of ideas that at first it's overwheming, and you might wish you had 10 other homes to fill with his concepts. He sees possibilities that aren't immediately evident, and is a genius at furntiure and picture placement. I had a genuine midcentury table (not a West Elm copy) that I'd had for decades and it was just sitting forlornly in a corner in the new place because I didn't know what to do with it (It didn't seem to fit anywhere). I was also grousing about needing a coffee table and in less than a second Buddy picks up the table with one hand and plops it down in front of my couch (purchased with his guidance), saying, "Here's your coffee table." The table, although not ostensibly a coffee table, works perfectly there, even though I never saw that possibility and was getting ready to dump it on one of those marketplaces. It's a small example, but I think it capsulizes Buddy's approach. He was also spot on when it came to selecting lighting fixtures, and saved me from choosing rugs that would have made my place look like a Miami hotel lobby (I think that's what he said--I know his scathing critique of my choices referenced Florida or the Bahamas), steering me to much more stylish picks. Buddy's also an artist (he constructed and painted a screen for me decades ago--in the Cranberry Hole Road days--that I still use and that visitors still comment on) and a cognitive psychologist, which can come in handy when you're in the emotional throes of a move, a renovation or restyling. Give him a try, even if your place just needs a refresh, a new look. He'll help you choose what you need. Now I'm thinking of seeking his help for a closet renovation.
